I’m starting up a paintball arena and I need suggestions on what kind of markers, body armor, and bunkers to buy (I’m going to be renting out equipment). I’m looking for the cheapest, best gear. Any suggestions?
Any Suggestions for Paintball Equipment for a Business?
Well most fields rent out tippmans, but i you want to get a great rental gun call up Smart Parts and they should give you a deal on a package of rental vibes. As for bunkers call sup’ air and see if you can buy used tournament bunkers which i know you can, they have x-ball fields, nppl fields, and millennium fields, which will run you probably about 5 grand for a full set, but then u need an air compressor to fill them. Then i guess call crossfire and see about tanks get 48/3000 hpa tanks, they should give you a deal on that too. As for hoppers just go with gravity feed. don’t forget compressors for air tanks, field insurance, and netting, those will probably be the most expensive. That’s all i can really think of atm. Good Luck with your field.

markers:98 customs from tippmann
body armor-chest pads,mask
bukners-make your own woodss out of wood and for speedball you can buy an used one from a field if selling or go to a sporting store. But gett a good set up.
for cheaper rental use. go to a forum website and say im buying used 98 costums. Will buy for 5O dollars. My boss did that for his field he got about 20 more guns. GOOD LUCk.
Go to Airups.com for bunkers, and contact Smart Parts for markers. If Smart Parts seem a bit expensive, get Tippmanns. As far as helmets and body armor go, you should go with BT. (Battle Tested.) They are reliable and extremely good quality. Hope this helped!
Might want to ask equipment financing / leasing companies, too, for ideas. The one I know of and that we’ve used for biz is here:

…they have some sports type equipment articles with ideas, like for turf maintenance, so maybe they have info on paintball, too.
Sounds like fun! Goodluck
