depending on your budget get a fibre wrapped air tank (or ally / steel if you cant afford a new fibre) or maybe look around the forums for a 2nd hand tank. As for hoppers, halo? reloader b? the new torques are quite nice as well and a nice price.

do not buy a steely 3000psi air unless you have to tank unless you have to there heavy and horrible you'll only regret it

I suggest when buying an air tank to buy a new one, if the previous owner has tempered/damaged it in anyway, the bottle can be dangerous.

As for hoppers... reloaderb or reloader 2, egg Vlocity, halo. All depends on budget.

By recball do you mean rental days? if so make sure the site you go to lets you use electro markers as some may not, as it's an unfair advantage with the rest using mechanical guns

thanks everyone for your feedback and advice. i already emailed the company in advance and its all good for me to use it. thinking of gettin the halo b v35 black when its payday. also might get the proto axis googles. so the 0.8L 3000psi isnt worth gettin then?

thats cool thanks for the advice. ive not got a massive budget for an air system so the 0.8 might have to do for now until i can afford a decent one

Battlepacks, I personally would either go for a skull battlepack (Cheap) or an NXe one (Comfortable), as for footwear I use astro turfs or studded boots.

For battle packs go for NXE, I have an Elevation 07 and it's sooooo comfy. But if your on abit of a budget go for a Skull pack.

Skull: http://www.fatbobspaintball.co.uk/Packs_and_Bags-Paintball_Pot_Packs-Skull_Packs/c11_137_143/index.html

As for footwear I use studded football shoes and I find them great for fast games.
