Is there anyone who does paint balling??

I am after a Tippmann A5 Response, and therefore require info on this product and hopefully a good deal...

What type of paintballing are you going into to?

If its just general woodsball at punter sites, it'll do the job but you'll always want something better. (the response part is just a added extra that makes the trigger "bounce", therefore giving you a higher BPS)

Personally, I'd stay away from tippmans. Have a look at things like Proto PMR's, Proto SLG/ UL SLG, Smartparts Ion/Ion XE. Their has recently been a huge increase in starter marker/equipment scene

If you fancy having a look/play with things before you buy, if your close enough come down to a tournament in uttoxeter on Sunday, it'll have 4-5 trade stands with loads of paintball goodies for sale. It will also let you watch some tournament paintball to a very high standard (With several professional UK teams playing). Its totally free to attend and watch!

Need anything else just ask

Why haven't people used these on specs and truvelo's? Would be great fun for a drive past shooting.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!? Professional paintballers!!

How the hell do you join such a team - what are their websites?

Seriously, do people get paid to play?!?! Like enough to earn a living??
