    Any paintballers in the crowd?

    I've finally decided to take the plunge and buy a paintball gun, but I'm really inexperienced and don't really know what to look for. I want a good entry level gun under $150, preferably under $100. The Spyder Victor II is my current choice. Anybody got advice for a paintball noob?

    I used to play every weekend, before I had kids and now I don't have money to go.


    That is a good starter gun. Spyder is what I started with, not too expensive, well made and you can make your own repairs pretty easily. I bought mine in 1996, and it still works on cats that come into my back yard

    I'm sure Zil meant that he scared them with it, not actually hit them as I think that would be fatal to the cat! I know a well placed paintball on a pice of fencing would scare a cat enough to keep it out of the garden for good, (with no pain). I'll tell you what I did to a cat that used to come into my kitchen and spray everywhere when I'm in the mood for a flame.

    As a victim of paintball, I would suggest the gun that can fire more rounds per minute than any other is the best, easy!
    There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
    your hand or head stuck in something

    Who said I torture them? Have you ever seen a paintball gun? Do you know that they travel at around 300 fps (enough to bruise a person, but certainly not kill)? Or that the aim and accuracy (of my particular gun without a barrel/bolt upgrade) is lousy at best? I have actually never hit a cat in my backyard, I only use it as a deterant (sp?), and it works pretty well unloaded too (loud sound). Now if I was really mean, I'd get my air rifle or my CO2 pistol and kill the stupid thing. So back off.

    Yes, I have seen a paintball gun, I own 2. While they just bruise a human, they do much more damage to small animals. Even if you are just doing it to scare them, you are being cruel and reckless, what happens when you "accidentally" hit one, if it doesnt kill the poor thing its going to do some serious damage

    Yeah, I liked that, "It's only enough to bruise an average 160 pound human"

    Well what about an 8-12 pound cat?

    So do tell us the evil that this cat does in your back yard? Kill rodents? Shut the birds up? Get attacked as it is Mockingbird season(evil ****ing birds)? Pisses on something? Just hangs out? Mocks you for living? Satanic rituals? A member of Al Queda terrorist rings? Sleeps? Looking for a place to sleep? Just waking up from Sleeping?
