Newbie << Needs Paintball advice?

[ImpacT]

I've never used a paintball gun before or anything, but I've always wanted to, and I'm interested on buying this gun.
BT TM-15 Sniper ( http://www.paintball-online.com/shop/product_information.asp?number=GNBTTM15SN )

So like I'm wondering if I need anything else besides the sniper, like what kind of paintballs should I buy? What other accessories do I need for that sniper, I don't want any other optional accessories though, just the necessary ones since I don't have that much money to spend.
If someone could please give me the links or names of all the necessary accessories I need for that sniper I'd really appreciate it!
:]!

Ben tippmann guns are very good guns, very accurate, fast and easy to maintain.

i would recommend using Air comppresed over CO2, reason being better accuracy and does not curve or drop balls as bad as C02 does.
Air commpressed tanks run from 50 buck on up depending on the size you want, i play with a 4500 psi tank, a little bit heavy but i will last me several games and i dont have to worry about running out of air during game play....

Also you need to put a good hopper on it such as a Halo, Eggfeeder, Evolution B, these are some of the best hoppers on the market....
Run about 30 dollars and up

Spring kits are low in cost run about 5 to 10 buck and kits usually come with four springs
1. Low Velocity
2. Low-Medium Velocity
3. Medium-High Velocity
4. High Velocity

the stock spring that comes with the BT is probably a a low velocity....i would recomend upgrading to a medium-high or a high...most fields and tournys reguire you to shoot under 300 or 280 velocity .....velocity meaning in latin terms how hard and fast the paintball comes out..anything over 300 can cause serious injury.....always crono your gun

I would by a tactical vest that acn carry your paintball pods as well as your air tank, like it was said befoer your can by a hose/adapter that will run from yoour gun to your tank..

These balls are usually pretty cheap, however, they tend to break easy and jam the gun they are called wild streaks and are found at walmart but you can get a case of 2,000 for around $25........

Well here are some of the brands i have used and got experience with through the yrs, i tend to use RPS Stinger, DXS, Rec or Diablo

also make sure that if you are playing at a local paintball field, that they dont require you to play with there paint.....which most fields there paint run any were from 30 up t0 75 for 2,000...some fields will let you buy by the bag ( 500 in a bag)....

Also it is up to you how much paint you buy, I usually go through about 1,000 in rec play and about 2-4 cases in tourny play....it all depends how fast you are on the


AND DONT LISTEN TO ROB THERE IS SUCH A THING AS PB SNIPERS..I USE TO BE ONE....

heavier paintballs make for better and always move around so you dont get hit. it hurts alot, especially at close range.

Since the Gun is probably gonna be pretty heavy i would look into a pod pack that carries Paintballs And Co2 and get a Remote (Hose that goes from ur gun to the Co2) so your gun will be lighter. As goes for Paintballs it all depends on if ur buying from like an actual paintball Shop or Wallmart. Hope this helps

seriously co2 on that is like suicide, i doubt hes trying to break his new gun, ur gunna need hpa, and the gun is electronic so its not gunna be cheap, if ur wanna "snipe"(impossible in paintball) u wont shoot so much so u could get a regualr steely tank for $50 as for hopper invert too $60 so so far ur gunna need atleast $110 , i mean if u really wanna snipe i guess u could get a red dot sight NOT A SCOPE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naORI_vnWv8&feature=PlayList&p=6A3229E6C97A9372&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=12
