New To Paintball?
Don't be ashamed of being new to paintball. We all had to start somewhere with no experience. I've seen a number of new players discouraged by more experienced players pestering and using the phrase "noob". Rule 1, don't listen to bastards like this. A good paintball player will help you learn about the sport. Don't expect players to be nice to you if you are rude to them, but respect them and they will respect you.
The first question I am asked about paintball is "Does it hurt?". Well, no, it doesn't feel pleasant by any means. However, it is more than likely less painful than you would expect. Granted, unless you get shot at a short distance (which you're not supposed to do) which can cause a nice bruise and OCCASIONALLY can cause VERY LIGHT bleeding. All the more reason why not to get shot.
The next question you'll probably be asking yourself is what gun to use? Well, this varies on a number of things. Mainly, how often you play and how big your budget is. If you have NEVER played paintball before I would recommend borrowing a gun or renting a gun from a field. If it turns out that you don't like paintball, your loss would be much less than if you purchased a $250 gun.
This leads me to my next point: buying gear. Although it's nice to have the best gun in the world, it doesn't mean anything unless you know how to play the game. In my opinion, starting with a cheaper gun is more beneficial to your skill as well as your wallet. A Tippman 98 Custom is an excellent starting gun for most new players. It may seem a tad pricey at first ($140 - $160), but it is quite cheap compared to other guns, which can easily exceed $1,000. If you can find a "player's package" with your gun, I would recommend it. This usually includes a hopper, a mask and sometimes other gear. Generally you get a discount on these items. However, when purchasing a mask, I would highly recommend that you make sure that replacement lenses are readily available. If your lens is cracked, has any sort of damage that could compromise its integrity, has been shot within 10 ft. or is over a year old, it should be replaced. This might seem like a pain in the ass, but it beats the lens shrapneling into your eye and you loosing your eyesight.
Your mask, however, is not the only thing that needs maintenance. A paintball gun does require maintenance after it has been played with and periodically when stored for long periods of time. Your CO2/HPA tank usually only needs its O-ring replaced if it is broken. After you're done playing and you've removed your air and hopper, look at your gun. Inspect for any physical damage first. Look for anything out of the ordinary that looks like it could hurt the gun's performance or safety. Next, REFER TO YOUR GUN'S DISASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS and remove the bolt mechanism. Clean out the breach and barrel with a squeegee until all the paint is gone. Examine your bolt mechanism, remove all paint and inspect the O-rings of the bolt (assuming your bolt has O-rings). As long as your bolt has no damage, you're good. Oil the bolt with PAINTBALL OIL, as other oils can cause the O-rings to swell (I have, however, had luck with RemOil). Reassemble your gun and test it out with a dry fire or two. For your hopper, as long as it is gravity fed, you can generally just run water through it to clean it. If it is electric, use caution with water. Water and electronics don't mix. Also, some people simply run water through their guns. While this may work, it can also damage your gun over time therefore I cannot recommend "drowning" your gun to clean it.
Hopefully, this guide has helped you getting into this fast growing sport.
