...paintball gun for someone completely new? Alright, my friend took me to some paintball field and I rented equipment and went paint balling. He got me hooked. I want to continue going out with my friends and go shoot some paint balls at these fields, but it's freaking expensive. So instead I realized that I could save a lot more money in the long run if I buy a paintball gun instead of rent one, that way I just have to pay for CO2 and paint balls.

So I've done a bunch of research but I'm totally lost. I've been recommended by many other people over the internet that I should go with either a tippmann or a spyder. So I went and looked them up and I have no idea what the differences are, the websites talk jibberish to me. I'm totally new so I'm hoping someone can perhaps recommend a website that tells me the basics or could help me out themselves via email or this. I'm only 16, I really want to spend less than 200$, and I need a gun, a hopper, and maybe a mask but I can get that on my own i believe. Perhaps I need a tank? I'm not sure.

I know this, the two main places that I want to go to both say that they don't allow you to shoot over 15 BPS(must be semi automatic) and 1 of the places only allows 220 fps and the other allows 285 and .68 caliber. So here is a question... Is it possible to change the guns fps and BPS easily?

I'm using these requirements because really, they are close, and they offer good deals and will likely be the places I will play at. I ask here because I have no idea where to go to for help. If you feel that there is any more information that I should know, please feel free to tell me.

ok here is what you do! fill up a kickball full of paint! then throw it at your best friend!!
