Other than the mask, the swab is the most important part. Any marker will shoot. With that said I would recommend the EnMey. These days, (now that 10 ball-per-second is enough) electronic markers are no longer considered an 'upgrade.' Mechanical markers provide more feedback and subsequently a more responsive and satisfying game.
Dye SE masks are great for $50. You get a thermal lense that is very easy to remove for cleaning. Replacement thermal lenses are only $25 if you happen to scratch yours.
I’d take a proto hopper with the shelf in it. And I’d go with the enmy marker. Mech guns are great for starting out and it’s super easy maintenance, very reliable, easy on paint, and plus I’m old fan of smart parts. The sp vibe was a genius gun.
I actually tried this out before watching the video and had the eNMEy and JT revo but I also did it without using "deals" so had to then get a usual $50 steelie and HK HSTL mask. To me, if your budget is $300, you probably shouldn't play paintball. This isn't me discriminating nor saying it's a rich person activity, however let me be the first to tell someone who is thinking about getting in, it is a VERY expensive hobby. Realize cases of paint are now anywhere from $60-$80 at your local field, you still will need your entry and air for the day, this isn't factoring in as well any clothes you'll basically dedicate to this new outdoor activity especially if you plan on playing in the woods, there are a lot of other costs other than a $300 setup. I'd honestly and truly push for someone to have a $500 budget if you're trying to get a beginner setup, and firstly choose a good quality mask. You don't need to spend $200 on it, however as your main piece of equipment you need NO MATTER WHAT while on a paintball field, this honestly to me should be the "best" purchase imo. You can definitely still rock a steelie tank, absolutely nothing wrong with that and it does the job and should get you a hopper and couple pods off in a round, so I'd say that would be fine, but also perhaps upgrade the hopper into a spire IR/IR2 or a rotor LTR. Not having feeding issues can be a huge bump in your play, and both these loaders get that job done while still acting as proper battery powered hoppers. At this point you're probably still looking at the eNMEy as the starter gun but it's still a good one. If possible I'd grab a 14" barrel, and a pod pack of any choosing. Both these items shouldn't matter as a pod pack simply will hold pods no matter why you buy it from, and a barrel is a barrel. You'll be much more accurate with a longer barrel and therefore not going to have to shoot as much paint to get that out.
@igydkygs00kwhi the marker itself is on ANSGEAR, and is a great bang for your buck. Have seen multiple people use the marker and it does wonders on the paintball field. The barrel itself can be anything, as long as it's autococker threaded (which is 90% of all barrels in the game). Simply go to any paintball website or even your local field, ask for a 14" barrel, and basically get that one. If this is a beginner setup I wouldn't worry too much about inserts or anything, the cheapest 14" barrel will do you just fine.
I was able to get my setup for around $350 (a used tactical vest, Virtue push pods, a Tippmann Intrepid mask, a remote line, an Empire jersey, and a Tippmann Cronus Tactical) back then. It took me some work for sure, but it was hella worth it.
Protoys Speedster is the heaviest loader on the market. The JT Revolution is the lightest one. I own both and the JT loads faster for sure. Also u can use Lithium batteries bc they weigh half as much as normal batteries
if your budget is 350, it's way better to just go onto the BST's and get some good used gear from a reputable source. for this kind of money you could get a carbon tank, Emek, used Vio, and an ir2 hopper and be 100% better off. maybe not for quite 350, but for 400 bucks you can absolutely pick up an incredible setup that won't need to be upgraded much at all, if any, if you continue to play.
I agree, you can get a pretty decent setup if you go back a few years. The great guns of 10 years ago are still better than the entry level guns of today. Everyone wants the latest and greatest. If it can reliably shoot 10.5 bps and is comfortable in your hands everything else is just fluff. : P Just try to pick something common so you can find parts if you need them.
The HK mask is garbage for one simple reason... it deafens you when you yell. And you will need to yell when you play. The JT is not a "little bit more breathable", it's A-LOT more breathable. When you speak you won't feel it in your eardrums.
ANSgear actually does a really good job with paintball stuff. They're MUCH biased towards speedball guns unlike places like Lone Wolf Paintball, and they always do good on shipping your orders.

I have the Fenix, and love it. It's easy to pull the bolt and clean/lube. Parts are easy to find and you can't beat $150 for an Emarker.
where do you find parts for the fenix i just bought me one
Hey what batteries are you using for it I’m having trouble finding a battery that can last.

60$-$80 for paint at your field ? You are getting robbed
Great video. This is important for beginners or persons who wanted to gift someone. Keep them

BSTs?
Buy/Sale/Trade
Facebook groups and eBay are 2 good ways to find used gear. PBnation was the thing back in the day. Not sure if it’s still around.

I will be waiting to see the other price ranges to see what you guys choose.
$500
$750
$1000
I can’t believe the libs changed it from paintball gun to paintball marker
It is silly but paintball marker was the it original term used by the forestry workers who invented them for purpose of marking trees
When will you guys have a old markers from the past and how much it has changed since today s markers
Super Helpful. Thx!
Great Video Guys!!!

I haven't had that problem
I’ve watched this video like 4 times
I've never been able to spend under $350 on ansgear. But that's also my fault lol.
For the love of god do not buy a spider its a disposable paintball gun they break all the time you might get 2-3 days of play out of it
Fenix aren't bad. I stomp on people at the field w mine lol.
Spyder is pretty much all I’ve ever owned and it’s never let me down. Got a fenix with the tech t bolt and my back up is a mr1
Stop lying. I have 4 set of spider gun for me and my kids. Been a year and still good. Relax
I got a 10 yr old spider that still shoots like day one.
My spider imagine still works lol
I love ve jt
I don’t believe there was 4 pods tony 👻
Didn't explain what a pod or a swab is. Remember, BEGINNERS!
What is it then?
I got the hk and it is garbage
First😁
Best way to save money: don't spend any with ANS.
It sounds like you just need a nice warm hug!!!!
They actually have good deals
