Hi. This is Robert Stewart with hill13.com. Today we're going to talk about paintball guns. You have quite a variety of guns and at all levels and terms of price. At your local Wal-Mart you can pick up a paintball gun of given brand for $60 to $80 stripped down. You can get packaged prices for other guns that include your hopper, air tank and mask for $120 to $160. This is an entry level price. Now most of the time if you're playing on a walk on rental field you'll probably be using one of these. Most of these guns here are from Tippmann. This is a selection actually and we'll get into those in a little bit but most fields tend to run Tippmanns because they're the workhorse of the paintball guns. They're almost like an AK47. They can take a lot of abuse. We'll cover a bunch of different types of guns but if you're going out to play the first time you'll probably play on a Tippmann. See if you like that and if you do you can probably get out for less than $150.
