The most I'd spend right now is up to 300, I'm not looking for a pro 1k+ marker, just going to use it for when I go with my friends and cousins.

**Thats 300 just for the marker, feel free to suggest a tank too. The goggles and other apparel i can manage on my own. I've been looking at the Tippmann A5 egrip, seems pretty nice, and also seen a few of the spyder markers
Etek is a good gun. I would stick with a Ninja 45/4500.

I was into before it was cool lol....and when it was really expensive.

I had a Tippmann which was a great brand...it looks like they have come down in quality as I recently saw one at a sporting good store for 200.00 or so. I bought mine in 1993 or so, used for 270.00...hopefully quality is still good and competition drive te prices down.

Regular ego and all the special edition ones is like 800-1400. Then get a good hopper, a nice 4500 peanut tank, harness, pods, a decent mask like a dye i4 or an empire e-vents. You'll be golden.

I keep contemplating to sell all my equipment but going out just once with coworkers or friends will have me regretting the sell. So all my stuff just collects dust in the garage.

I never understood why people like tipmanns. There are so many better guns out there. If I was still into pb I'd get this:

Also most parks now regulate to 12 bps ramping.
Yes, it would totally make sense to purchase that marker while only planning on playing woods ball 1-3 times a year.

That's like saying i never understood why people take their daily drivers to the track... if i were still tracking i would get the V8 Ariel Atom.

My guess is that you missed the part about the budget he set for his purchase. $300 or less is what he's willing to spend.

I was really into it, spent over 2k on gear....sold it all and spend money on my car now instead.
I highly recommend a prtoto slg as a beginners markers, its pretty cheap too and shoots great.

Jt flex mask or dye. Ego 11, rotor, 68/4500, some good cleats if you're playing outside. A good pod pack.

Maybe start with a used ego 08 or sl8ter.
