The number one piece of equipment has
to be the mask. It is your only real source of protection for your eyes and
ears from the paintball itself. Without this do not expect to get on the
field. Fields rent these out in their price for the day if you do not have
one.

Second most important piece in my mind
is a barrel plug. "But I don't even have the gun yet! " True but
to have the gun you should have the barrel plug. You can't go anywhere on
the field without it and you can get yourself into a lot of trouble without
it. Do us a favor and have it in when ever your not on the field playing.

My world for a gun. Okay that's not
the real wording for it but if you want to play you have to have the gun.
Most Rental places are handing out Semi-Auto guns in their fee but you might
also get a pump. Don't worry about those guys out there with the big guns
though. What you have is very effective.

What good is the gun without ammo for
it? You will need some gelatin fill capsule things to shoot from it call
paintballs. They come in a variety of colours but in the end they are all
meant to do the same thing, break on the other guy! Most rental shops will
include your first 100 in the fee you pay and then you pay a fee per ball
after that.

Oh you might want something to put
those in on your gun so we will also include a hopper so that you can put
150 or so balls through your gun without reloading. Aren't we cleaver?
The
one shown here is motorized. You probably won't get one for a rental but you
will see them a lot on the field with the more " experienced "
guys.

What your gun still won't go? Where is
your CO2 bottle? Don't worry we give you gas too in the rental
fee. A lot of places are giving this stuff away for free for the day but
some places will charge per fill. On the field you might also see the "
experienced " guys with HPA or High Pressure Air systems but they also
bring their own tanks.
