I’m wondering how bad paintball hurts compared to airsoft. I’m 14, but I am a huge wimp, but I also want to start paintball. I’ve been hit by an airsoft gun from about 20 feet away, and I thought it hurt a little bit. It wasn’t close to making me cry, but it stung a bit. I have a very low pain tolerance, and I want to know what getting hit by a paintball feels like, and what it relates to. I need a lot of help.

Before you go and buy anything, visit a local field and rent some gear, play a few games, and then you’ll know what it’s like to get shot. I play paintball frequently and don’t consider getting hit to be painfull, but I have a high pain tolerance and I haven’t played airsoft so I can’t give you a good comparison. Best way to figure out if paintball is your thing is to try it yourself. Just wear loose clothing and an extra shirt. Might also be a good idea to contact the field and see if they have beginner days/nights so you don’t run into some speedball nut who’s going to shoot the crap out of you. Most fields are generally well run and take into consideration the experience level of players.

I am looking online because i am planning on buying a paintball marker for the first time but i don’t know what to look for. What brands are the best? Thanks

Do not buy Brass Eagle, JT USA, Stryker, or Viewloader branded markers. Also stay avoid buying a WGP Worrmachine.

Look for markers that are upgradable. There is no specific paintball marker type (mechanical or electronic,) model, or brand that you need to buy for woodsball or speedball, although it is ideal to have a faster electronic paintball marker for speedball. You can use electronic markers for woodsball.

Spyder VS2 is a good electronic paintball marker to start with. You can find new ones for $99-$150 or a factory re-manufactured for $70.

Tippmann 98 Custom is a great mechanical marker. It is built like a tank and very reliable. There is a vast amount of parts and upgrades available. You can pick up a new one for around $120. Since they are so reliable, your best option is find a used one for $50-$80.

Edit: The last I heard and this was last month, December 2008, the NPPL has gone bankrupt.

My suggestion is intended for a new player getting into the sport. If he wants and can afford a mid to high end marker, then by all means buy one or ask for suggestions. I do not know anyone who is just getting into the sport or buying their FIRST paintball marker that was willing to invest more than $200.
