My friends have been trying to get me to join them in recreational paintball for a while now. They mostly play woodsball in a nearby forested field. As for myself, I have never played the game.

Finally, they decided to try to convince me to join by giving me their old equipment, a set of paintball marker and mask. The mask is a black Vforce full face mask with ear coverings and visor. However, I am only allowed to choose one of the following paintball markers that they are offering:

One of them is offering a Brass eagle Talon, looks brand new. It comes with a small hopper, 1000 rounds of paintballs and half a dozen 12 grams.

A second friend is offering a Brass eagle stringray II, it looks to be in okay condition, comes with a co2 12 gram adapter and a 200 round hopper.

And finally a third offers me a PMI Piranha pistol, it is a bit scratch up with a few dents. It comes with a holster and thats all.

They said that these markers shoots just fine. I have never played paintball before and the games they play are mostly recreational with very informal rules.

Any advice as to which marker offer I should take up on?

Wrong forum. Try Go Team

Dude, you use 12 grams? Why? Everything that Brass Eagle makes is absolute shit. End of story.

Thread moved.

yeah the talon is trash if you want a decent gun for cheap get a spyder victor.

If u can buy a tippmann,whichever model u can afford i think the98 is the cheapest, theyre pretty decent for woodsball, dont get a brass eagle, theyre crap, belive me that was my first marker.

Thank you for all of your advice everyone.

I decided to go with the Piranha pistol, since it looks neat even if a bit scuffed up. It will make a nice sidearm.

I found a good deal on a used spyder marker on ebay. I think I will go try getting it.

Go to www.pbnation.com to look for used markers, they have a huge B/S/T area with cheap stuff.
