Trying to look for a new setup for my boy but I never really owned 50cals before he has the splat master series but he wants to move up into the air/co2. What are good guns and hoppers that I could look at without breaking the bank. Would like to try something electronic

Lol I got a chuckle from the title of this post. Start him off with a tippmann. Tippmanns are more than likely to work. Great beginner guns. Also if you ever encounter an issue, tippmann/or gi has some good customer service

If he still playing .50 cal The spyder advancer would be a great choice its cheap and electronic and the best part is action center sports has them on sale for 90

I thought about tippmann but it would be to big and bulky for him. Thanks for the spyder option do u know of any 50 cal hoppers?

Kingman rapid e loader its electronic and only runs about 50 bucks its a very popular choice for .50 cal and everyone who has tried it has had a positive experience

Hey Sammy -

Good job helping your son take the next step in paintball! There is something special about sharing a great hobby like paintball with one of your children.

Like previous posters have stated, Spyder makes the Rapid-E electronic loader for .50 caliber. Try contacting your local Spyder/KEE dealer for info on the loader and also .50 caliber Spyder marker options.

I hope your son enjoys his progression up the paintball ladder!

great starter gun for .68 is the GoG enmey and they should have a .50 cal coming out not too long.

50 caliber & caliber with the reliability of a Tippmann:

We use these as our Rental guns at our Indoor Arena. They work great and can shoot either caliber by simply swapping the bolt (takes about 2 minutes). Very cool, and once he move up to 68 caliber it can be used for that also.

Thanks for all the posts and links! I'm super excited to play with my son this summer!

I'm a fan of the adamantium skeletal coating upgrade wolverine got. If you want to upgrade him that's about as awesome as its gonna get. Just sayin.

When I saw "Upgrading my Son" I just had to read it.
Invert Mini's and Proto Rails are on the smaller side of electros that won't break the bank.
