I got the "Retirement" gun replica used fairly cheap. It was cool looking.

Bah, don't bother with paintball guns, get youself an Airsoft replica of a real gun. 8)

Most semi decent paintball and airsoft guns cost just a little more then 200. About the only think you can really get are pump paintball guns or pistol Airsoft guns.

A Tippman 98 is a good place to start. With the tank you might be right around 200.

I have a Model 98 with Flatline barrel. Its reliable, shoots far, and it can take a punishment.

Down side is its very heavy and with a 20oz tank and flatline, very long.

You are probley lookint at ether a Tipman, a Spyder (or knock-off), a pump, or something used. There are very few even midrange markers that can be had for under $200 (bump to $300 and you can get into some midrange stuff).

I suggest heading over to www.pbreview.com and checking out both their reviews and their forums.
There is no problem to dificult for a signifigantly large enough quantity of C-4 to handle.

If you're leaving scorch marks, you aren't using a big enough gun.
