Dude, take my advice on this one. I played paintball for 3 years and its not worth spending money on.
I played for fun for about a year and 1/2... and i owned a T98 (tippmann 98 custom[shown above w/o the stupid crap]) with custom mods to it, and it had about $400+ into it. I think started getting serious and my friends and I started a team and got sponsored by Warped Sportz (
http://www.warpedsportz.com) and so we all got better guns and better equip. I then bought an Impy ($800) and got nitros ($100) and played on the team for another year and 1/2. I quit because i went broke. Even though we were sponsored by a PB company thats big (only 5 in the US), we still had to end up paying for a lot of malarkey... and i blew a lot of money.
Another thing you dont take into account is buying Paint itself. A box of 2000 (case) is normally around $35-50 depending on the quality. 2000 normally lasted me a 1/2 day during a tourney, and so you end up blowing a malarkey load of money on that as well.
Just stating my opinion on the cost. If you want to play, find someone that will lend you a gun and just go buy some walmart paint. Its not worth it if you play seriously.
-PS- if you buy that gun, buy it stock and get a better barrel. The barrels that those come with blow. I got a Boomstick 12" for about $100.
