Buying my first wepon
- Thread starter Doaruj

Don't misunderstand us, there are benefits in buying a cheap two tone gun (when starting out), we can't know where you will play but its entirely possible you'll spend £100 on rental over your first 4-5 games. Owning a two-tone £100-£160 gun could work out better for you.
Given the way I entered the sport (hire purchase TM Glock 17) I would say that getting your own rifle class gun instead of hiring can work out, I got that RIF through wolf armouries which plays at a very small paintball venue (10 minutes away from me) where I was not disadvantaged by having only a sidearm - but I had to play the UKARA criteria before I could take it home.
I think I spent £115 on the gun and £80 on a pair of extra magazines and a double magazine holster and pistol holster for my belt + some gas and BBs. I would have been better off with a G&G M4 - and tbh I knew that but wolf don't stock G&G.
So don't misunderstand us, you don't have to hire, but if you're going to start out buying a (two-tone) you want to go with something cheap (cyma/G&G/ICS) or something with a solid reputation in the £300 range - to me that's the ASG scorpion or a Krytac M4. But putting either through two-tone is crazy to me.
Given that you've not played airsoft you definitely do not want to be buying a [heavy] VFC gun.

Smart move.
The thread will tail away naturally after someone derails it.
indeed it does, it must be so hard to make hits with all that range paintball guns have
