very rough estimate

20-30 to get in with a little amount of paintballs or none

then either buy a case for 30-50
or indoor is like 4-8 dollars per hundred

so i would say 75 maybe... if u shoot alot of paint

its alot of fun. just to play would cost you about 40-50 per day between feild fees, filling your air/co2 tanks, and paint. then thiers the gun, which are pretty cheap to maintain, but you get the urge to make it better which is pretty expensive.

I have an entire set up to play with a top of the line Nasty Impulse gun no mods needed to make better, including tank, hopper, accessories, belt with guppies, the whole nine yards for 750.

i also have another gun, a forrest attack mag (auto mag) that ill throw in with 2 barrles, tank and hoper for another 150 bucks.

let me know.

i doubt hes going to spend 750 for an Impy, and hes never played.

1st gun i would get ( and i did get) is a tippmann 98.

they are tanks, last forever.

i have a tippmann a-5 but i dont really play as much as i used to.

gun-around $250
paint per case of 2000-around $50-60
fill co2-$around $3-5 depending on where

I have a tippmann 98 custom with a whisper barrel for sale has a whisper barrel and a hopper and a 12 oz co2 tank for sale only 80 shipped. only thing that gets expensive is paintballs if you use the good ones.

Tippman makes a 98 custom pacage that comes with everything you need to play. A 98 custom marker, 9 oz co2 tank, mask, hopper, and a small tool kit. All that for 200 dollars. Then for me it's 3 dollars to get the co2 filled, and 10-15 dollars for a 500 pack of paint balls.

tippmanns run great on co2, and oxygen?? i think your thinking of nitrogen, and a good tank for that is near 200 bucks, or a cheap steel one for like 75. it will run cleaner through the gun, but in a tippmann, all you need is co2.

just use co2 and its called compressed air

and my tank was $220.00
