Paintball is the fastest growing sport in the world. For beginners who have just joined the sport I highly recommed Tippmann or Smart Parts guns. Tippmann make durible and cheap markers from a price range of $140-$270. Smart Parts guns can be a bit more expensive from $200-$850. The Smart Parts Ion is one of the best guns you can ever buy for the price. The Ion priced at $200 is higly accurate and has a high rate of fire. Paintball is an expensive sport. Although many people recommed spyders they are cheap and weak guns. Spyders are like the Walmart of paintball.
