After getting mask sorted you then have to worry about getting marker (gun), Hopper, bottle, and carrying system. As this all costs, we will happily let you try ours to get a feel for your "look". Marker What type do you want? There are basically 2 types. First off is the MilSim; This is a marker that looks close to a real gun, and can be easily modified to the uses requirements. Then there is the Tourny marker; these look more like a SciFi gun but use less air per shot, and so your air bottle lasts longer. Hopper This is the "box" on top of the marker that holds the paint that you are ready to fire. Bottle There are 2 types (Steel and Carbon). The steel ones are cheaper at approx £20 second hand, yet they are smaller and heavier than the Carbon ones that you can get for approx £90 second hand. Carrying system This is what you carry your spare paint around in whilst playing. I prefer the mollie system which is kinda like millitary webbing where as it weighs more than the smaller pod (Small recepticles that hold spare paint) carriers, it spreads the weight better and provides more pouches for smoke grenades etc.

Thanks for this.
I ordered the spyder victor which comes with a mask and hopper. Is this a bad place to start?

What I meant bud is which type of bottle are you getting in your pack?? Most sites have already moved over to HPA so a co2 bottle will not be of any use.

It's a shame if it runs CO2 only. Most sites and definitely big events all run air. Sorry I know nothing about the gun So I can't help as much as I would like.
