Paintball Equipment
The best bet may be to buy a paintball kit that comes with the major items that may be needed. Or if you can find the individual pieces cheaper, it would be wise to invest in a pump paintball gun this is the most expensive type of gun, it has to be cocked before each use. This gun can utilize a small carbon dioxide, 12 g cartridges, which is easy to refill and inexpensive. The next piece of equipment to get is a mask and goggles, goggles are fairly cheap and an old ski mask from home will do just as well. A thick sweatshirt and jeans are great to wear with padding, elbow and knee pads from bike riding are great to wear over ones clothes or underneath if possible.
Paintballing is loads of fun but it does not have to be expensive, the main things that have to be purchased are a gun and ammunition. Therefore buy a cheap pump gun and carbon dioxide cartridges and the rest of the gear can be found at home and off you go.
