Solid Starter Package August 18, 2010
James Wishman
This package is a good setup for newbies. I went paintballing once and was instantly hooked, so I wanted a complete setup on the cheap through Amazon. I purchased the set about 2 months ago and have played 4 half-days with it so far (about 16 hours play-time). The A.C.T. feature of the marker is great- I haven't had one ball chop yet and I've pushed through prolly 3,000 balls (about 750 per outing, to be conservative).
The marker is medium-weight, medium-loudness, but actually quieter than the Tippmann 98 rental I used before. The barrel screws on easily and tightens firmly. It is reasonably accurate. The hopper is standard but detaches from the marker in a neat way, making disassembly of the marker fairly straightforward and quick.
The CO2 tank is large but not too heavy- it lets you play all day without worrying about needing a refill. The CO2 actually heats up as you play, and as the tank decompresses your paintballs will continually be shot faster and faster. I was at a field and got chrono'd when I first showed up. I registered about 280. After 3 hours of play (shot about 400 balls), I was re-chrono'd and registered at 307. The referee told me to "turn down the marker," which meant I needed the small wrench included with the kit. I have to carry this in my pocket when playing all matches because I never know when I'll need to turn the speed on my marker up or down. It's no big deal, just one more thing to remember before hitting the field.
The waist pack is fairly well made. It holds 6 pods which, in my opinion, is too much for standard woodsball. Woodsball games are generally no marathon and so I prefer only to carry 2-4 pods at a time. The extra 2 pod pockets actually come in handy for storing gloves, neck guard, etc. when not playing. The cleaning hose (orange) included pulls through the barrel nicely to clean it, however if you have no chopping (like me), then it doesn't do much.
The mask is cheap. I mean this thing is twice as cheap as any rental mask I've ever seen or used. You can buy this mask separately on Amazon for 10 bucks. Now, having called it cheap, I will say that it's stood up wear and tear well. The plastic that covers your face bends easily, but does keep paintballs from hitting your face. So from that perspective, it does its job. The lenses seem alright, too. I've been shot in the face probably 5 times (and I mean straight in the eye), and the lenses were totally fine. I just wipe them off and keep playing- no problem so far.
Overall, this is a solid kit and I highly recommend it. If you're new to paintball like I was, then this is a great starter kit. It has everything you need for equipment. I recommend buying separately some gloves, a neck guard, and a beanie (hat) for protection. Being shot in the bare neck or head is excruciatingly painful, so be sure to cover those areas. Also, wear long sleeves and pants to play paintball, no matter how hot it is outside. I've seen so many people get HUGE welts on their bare arms from being shot by paintballs, and when this happens, you usually have to see a doctor about it to make sure nothing vital in your arm or leg has been ruptured.
As long as you're dressed appropriately, this kit will serve you fine in having a safe paintball experience.

this marker kit is great!!! tippmann makes a great product so the marker is great and easy to upgrade. i havent used it yet but the 98 custom basic is the one that my local field uses as a rental. so i read every review and looked at every website to get a good feel of what i am looking for and will need to a good woodsball marker. this package has it... this is my first paintball gear i ahve picked up and i think i will at some point upgrade the mask and harness but this package has the stuff to get me started without putting th balls in my pocket and covering my face with my hands. i got the the tippmann 98 custom pro platium series for the extra goodies the marker would come with.... 11" barrel... drop forward... A.C.T... rails... double trigger... pretty much all the stuff that i would upgrade right away on the basic. it came with 2 squeegees so one to use off the field and one to carry on the field. i also bought the 98 custom platuim ultra basic non act at the same time i got this one for my best man of my wedding as a thank you... he will jsut ahve to get his own upgrades.
both packages shipped quick and were in good shape with all the gear promised. i would purchase gear again from ultimate paintball... they also sent me a coupon for some money off my next purchase... i purchased a HPA tank from them but dont yet ahve it per i ordered a few days later

Received as expected June 13, 2010

The custom pro came with everything that it said it would. The gun works great out of the box, though I haven't played any games yet. The extra 6 containers in this kit are a bit large for the belt they come with, so they are better used for carrying extra balls to and from the game, as opposed to carrying them during game play. The extra squeegee and oil seem to be of good quality. I don't foresee any problems at this time.
 pretty good June 7, 2010
