~ Couple Things You Should Know ~

First things first, you need to decide how and where you're going to be playing paintball regularly. Think practically, if you're in the woods 90% of the time you're going to want a marker that can take a beating. This way you can whack it against trees, drop it in mud and it will still do the job. So remember durability and reliability are key.

The second thing to decide is your budget. If you're going to invest into a paintball gun and you're a newcomer then the paintball guns below should be cheap enough to start with. If I have one tip for any new player deciding on buying a paintball marker it's that you don't buy a marker from Wal-Mart! They are super cheap and will break down on you, take my word for it.

~ Check Out Marker Reviews... ~

So let's get into it. Read some reviews on these guns by following the links. If you can't decide in the end, I will recommend one for you. Remember, follow the links to the reviews to get a better, more in depth insight into the markers. Take your time when choosing, there's no rush. Finding one that suites your needs is most important. Don't worry, the reviews have pictures and videos.

~ Go With A Package Deal ~

When purchasing a paintball gun, make sure to go with a packaged deal. You'll get everything you need in one shot and a lot more depending on the package, that way you're ready to start playing paintball right away. Save yourself the hassle of finding different parts, supplies, etc.

#6

BT-4 Combat - Man's gun - $160

The BT-4 Combat is actually quite a nice marker for beginners, as much as all of the rest are too. It's well balanced (meaning it's not too heavy in the front, or back, etc.) and durable. It's also a great gun if you're playing outdoors mostly and the price is right. Some have good experiences with the accuracy, some have negative ones - either way, personally, it shoots great for a beginner gun. It's also said to be a bit heavy, but you're not a wimp, are you?

#5

Smart Parts Vibe - Scout's Gun, Quick Moving - $140

Small, lightweight and one of the cheapest guns on the market, the Vibe is a perfect gun for those on a low budget and just wanting to take one step at a time when entering paintball. Remember, your first purchase is your test, the second is for the skills you rightfully earned in battle. Nothing bad to say, great marker for $140.

#4

Spyder MR1 - Military, Durability - $140

The Spyder MR1 is a scary lookin gun, so it'll intimidate. It's very durable and reliable, meaning it will last a long time for you. Great for outdoor play, as well as cool upgrades to make it look more militaristic. The elbow is a little brittle, but an easy fix with a quick upgrade.

*Great Gift* Tippmann A-5 - Easy Use, No Tools, SWAT - $180

Oh, how I love the Tippmann A5. I still own one and use it a lot. It's just such an easy gun to use, but advanced enough to have great accuracy and virtually no ball chopping. Easy to customize, and shooting at high balls per second (bps), I recommend this gun for any newcomer. It's durable and great for in and outdoors.

#2

Smart Parts SP1 - Military, Tactical, Maneuverability - $170

The Smart Parts SP1 is lightweight as well as durable. It's also a really great gun for 'tactical/military' type simulations (MilSim). Get night vision scopes or red laser pointed dots. It gives you a feeling of being on a top secret mission. Really good for outdoors. There's not many bad things to say about this gun, other than the feed neck could be better (what connects to hopper). Read more on the Smart Parts SP1 Paintball Marker Review.

#1

Tippmann 98 Custom - All American Hero - $160

Anyone will tell you, the Tippmann 98 custom is literally the marine's gun. It's durable, great to bash around and will stick with you until the end. Most fields rent out the 98 custom because it's so reliable. If you're having a hard time choosing, this is the safest bet and the most recommended gun to get for a beginner. You will not be disappointed in the end. Read more on the Tippmann 98 Custom Paintball Gun Review.

How To Make The Decision - Recommendations For Your Playing Style

• For those of you that are just wanting to jump in head first into the game, learn the ropes and get the respect of the guys at the field, I recommend the Tippmann A5.
• For those of you that are playing it safe, want something light and don't really feel like jumping in 'head first' into a barrage of paintballs - go with the Smart Parts Vibe.
• For those of you that are always on the move, hide behind trees, and are quick on your feet - go with the Smart Parts Vibe or Smart Parts SP1.
• For those of you that are supporting roles (give good back up), are calculated in your decisions, and are more tactical/military but know when to strike hard and fast when the time is right - go with the Smarts Parts SP1 the Spyder MR1 or the BT-4 Combat.
• Finally, if you just don't care and want to shoot some stuff, and have a wicked time doing it - go with the Tippmann 98 Custom.

Final Thoughts/Suggestions

In the end, the best way to make the decision on this is to just trust your gut. We all know when something truly sticks out to us. Take a look at some pictures, read the reviews (they have pros and cons in them), and then just whatever feels the best to you - go with that. There is no "one" gun. If you still can't choose, take my word for it and go with the Tippmann 98 Custom.
