That is a very bad deal. I do not mean to sound unkind about it, but $100 is about 5x the amount of what you can get them new for. It depends on how often you get punched by older brothers or do rough things. As a child, my neighbors and older brother beat on me a lot because I was much younger then they were. I was brought up to be pretty strong so when I started playing it did not hurt. My cousin on the other hand was 15 when he played for the first time. He was like tearing because it hurt. I do not want to discourage you, though. I bet you will be fine, just don't think about it.

Also, just remember, if indeed it is painfull, the pain will pass in 10 seconds MAXIMUM! Just like getting a friendly punch by a friend.

definately a bad deal!
get a tippman 98 custom for just a little more than that.

[sp|2ay & P|2ay]

lol if you buy that you are getting beat for your money.. Yeah if i was you with a 100 bucks i would get a syder C2K

[Gustaf]

If you are preoccupied with getting hit and waiting to feel the ‘pain’ then yea It might hurt a little more. The only time that it really has hurt me to far was getting hit in the hand with no gloves on.

[Squattingdog]

I would recommend that you get a Spyder or Tippman for a first gun. You have to realize something. Guns do break down and you will need to get replacement parts.Just about every Paintball Store carries parts for Spyders and Tippmans. Do some research beforew you buy your first gun. A good used gun is a good idea. This way you can get into the sport at a lowere price and you can see if you like it.

Also, protect your damn head. I'll be the first AND the last person to tell you that head shots do hurt if they are in the right spot. Wear a beanie or a hat or something.

[Makestro]

actualy.... my true opinion is get a brass easgle stingray2... it was my first gun... it helps u learn the basics and sence there are very few parts its easy to fix... also helps u learn paintballs dont shot as srtraight as u think... its a good begginner gun.... either that or a tippmann 98

[nomagic b]

if i were you i would get the talon the pumping of the gun increases the exercise you will get. whatever you do don't get a matrix or a halo or an RT.

Newbie53's sig
be sure to make the elimination... overshoot everyone.

Somehow the question and sig don't seem to match

[Black Ice 72]

Yeah, that sig is totally inappropriate. I have seen numerous amounts of fights because of overshooting while bunkering and just regular overshooting.

If you mean it in a kidding manner, at least use the please. I personally don't mind it, but you never know who takes these sigs seriously.
