I've always had a soft spot for any sport that envolved shooting other people, so I dont know why it has took me so long to find this great sport. I'm currently deciding which Marker to purchase and I was just curious if anyone out there plays? I know Beachhead probably does so are there any tips I should know?

Im looking to buy a Tippmann A-5, mainly since I hear its a really newbie friendly weapon. I've been reading about it all night and I got a few upgrades planned but I just want it in my hands now!11 We got this great abandoned slaughterhouse here where I am on vacation and we took a trip up to it with my cousins paintball gun (Trippmann 98 Custom) and it was great! The atmosphere of the place is so cool though not so sneaking friendly (dust on the floor) its still a lot of fun.

Also how about masks? Would a gas mask be ok for this or should I really get a paintball one?
