[QUOTE="DVan8504, post: 10181691, member: 40044"] I've played off and on for several years. I've used a few markers and done research on many others. The best markers for beginners are always Spyders or Tippmans imo. No one needs an electric model for their first marker. You can squeeze the trigger on a mechanical marker plenty fast enough. Paintball is expensive enough for a kid without worrying about the extra expenses that come with an electric marker like using Nitrogen and an electric hopper. Some electric markers claim to run fine on CO2, but most require Nitrogen. Nitrogen tanks are quite a bit more expensive than CO2 tanks. They also cost more to fill though not a lot more than their CO2 counterparts. To get the maximum fire rate from an electric marker, you'll need an electric hopper which are more expensive than your normal hopper. IMO, get your son a cheaper mechanical Spyder or Tippman, and if he continues to play the sport maybe an upgrade will be in order. [/QUOTE]
