"I would like to take a minute to discuss with you about how to purchase a paintball gun. First of all, I recommend that you purchase your paintball equipment from a professional paintball pro shop, as opposed to a large paint, er, a large retail chain. First of all, paintball pro shop has current, updated and fresh equipment as retail chains do not. Large retail chains buy in bulk. They sit in warehouse and the paint becomes unfresh and, generally, unusable. Additionally, pro shops will be able to help you with any problems you may have with your equipment, whether you need maintenance or repairs. They have an understanding about what you need and can help you. And that's how to buy a paintball gun."
