[shawshank62]

I am going to buy a paintball gun, im totally new to this, but here is what im thinking of getting

http://www.affordablepaintballsupply...ail.aspx?ID=74

From what i understand, the 12oz tank has like 800-900 shot capacity. The helmet sucks...but i can always upgrade later, and i was told that i dont need a neck guard if i just wear a backward hat?

Also, i was told to get some gloves....nuckle shots hurt

but i see it all slipping away, with my mother's denial to get a paintball gun.....

see my mom denied me it. and my dad denied me it. so i convinced them that all i was goign to do was "shoot targets", bought the equipment ... not really with there permission, then played a game with my friends, told them about it casually and now they dont have a problem with me playing.

I only play now and again, so I got a Brass Eagle wal-mart special Semi-auto, works fine. Wouldnt qualify as "super accurate" or anything like that but it works. Yep, you dont need a neckguard, just use a junk hat you dont mind getting shot. The biggest issue with the mask is making sure its comfortable. You dont have to have gloves, it'll only skin your nuckles raw and leave a welt for a week. You can save some money and use baseball gloves, etc.

I dont get what mothers have against it. They have this crazy notion it will turn your mind into a terrorist who wants to kill people. Heck, why do they let us play videogames then? Being in an NRA family, I dont got to deal with it, shooting is encouraged
