I played NPPL/PSP 5/10 man back in the day with a lot of guys from Texas that are pro's now on . I also played D3 and D2 X-ball in 2003/2004. Took a 2nd place at World Cup. Money was never the issue back then I just got sick of practicing, and traveling all the time.
I like to play from time to time just recreationaly, but it's kind of like beating up retarded kids. Not very rewarding.

I have ONE friend that has one and the thing I really like about them is you can replace the lid with that rubber gasket like thing. That option is AWESOME.

No more need in night games (yes, me and my friends play at night in the woods) to quietly open the hopper with fear of there being a giant click.

Sorry for the double post but here is what I am talking about:

I am however on the market for a new set of goggles. I am looking at these but if I could get some suggestions maybe?

Sly Profits:

Dye I4 Paintball Goggles:

Proto Axis Pro Goggles:

The thing I find interesting about the Proto ones is that if you need to replace the lens it has a quick release clip thing so you don't need to get your fingerprints all over it.

Yeah I want a quick feed thing for my Halo. Would be nice for night games.

Yeah, I guess I should probably just go try them on and like ski boots whichever one fits and works the best pick them up.

panda man, i have the matte green I4's and absolutely love them. real easy to take apart to clean and shit too. they never fog up on me. but if you have a bigger face you might want to consider another pair, i have a medium size face i tend to think and its a close fit protection wise.

and the easy feed lid's are well worth it and not an expensive option. def buy one.

Yeah.

My biggest problem is the only local paintball shop carries only DYE and JT masks so I don't have a big set ofoptions to try them on.

One nice thing though is they have a deal sometimes where if you get the DYE I4 mask you get can get a DYE hopper of the same color for like 50% off. I may do that sometime.

Not really its just legitimately way, way, way, way fucking cheaper. Plus GBB guns are really fun to shoot although on the whole airsoft guns are much less satisfying than paintball guns.

I don't know, I've had a shitload of fun playing airsoft and it didn't cost me like $40 of paint + gas + really steep field dues every time I wanted to play. It costs like $10 to get in and BB's are essentially free and so is electricity. I played once a week one summer and never could have afforded that with paintball.

The key to making paintball affordable is have a friend that does it that has a nice big set of field with woods to play on. My parents place has a nice strip of woods devoid of underbrush that we play on all the time, tank fill is only $5 since we all have about 3 tanks, and paint is all we need to worry about.

We just go to the local hardware store to buy all our spare parts/o-rings.

Plus, what kind of paint are you buying if it costs you almost $40? I bought a case of these:

Which are considered some of the best paintballs around (a case is 2000 rounds) for around $60. So, I ask.. what kind of paint and how much are you buying?

For a bag of mid grade stuff that is around 500 rounds it was barely even like $10 where I buy all my stuff.

Used to play then it was too expensive.  I got a draxxus pulse loader for sale and a 04 angel speed along with a 68/4500 CF tank and all that.

I made so much money making/selling quickloaders in my area.(the cover that you don't need to open)

15$ per cover- around 30-40 customers.

It got me my proto rail.

Look for places that have Bring Your Own Paint special events. There's a couple awesome fields near me that do them.
