Reddit reviews Empire Halo TOO Paintball Loader and 48ci HPA Tank Combo

Buy Both. I picked this set up a few weeks ago and used it last weekend. Thinking about getting it again for my 2nd gun.

Some really solid advice. As it turns out, Full Auto isn't allowed on the course I played on last weekend, and I'm not sure if we're going to get to do any woodsball this summer (I live in Alaska, so it's a short season), so I guess I'll focus on Speedball and consider a woodsball marker for next summer if I can find a game.

I prefer to purchase things on Amazon so would you mind looking over this list to make sure I'm getting the right things?

Tank (Do I need a cover? someone said that you should have a cover to protect a carbon fiber tank)

A note about the gun: I am really hesitant to splurge on the Ethas, because while it comes pretty highly recommended, I just can't get over the fact that it looks like a toy. Also, it seems that it's more suited to speedball, and I particularly want to maintain the delusion that I'll be able to find some woodsball games. Am I going to have any issues with trying to woodsball with the Ethas?

just a broke man trying to pick up a hobby. I recently bought a used matte red invert mini. Now that i have your attention, what do you think about this buy?

Here's a great deal on a tank and hopper; http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003FVP506?cache=61b7619bac973d9162859a37f1c86151#ref=s9_simh_gw_d4_g200_i1&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=mobile-1&pf_rd_r=0ZS2A0ZZ28KQM5DS8Z9S&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1634797062&pf_rd_i=507846

I'm using this combo with my new eNVy. Will be upgrading the tank though after I get a new mask and a barrel. It feels a bit heavier than I'd like it to be.

in case you don't want to go threw the hassle of the used market:

a very respectable first setup if you are looking for something that you can learn the basics on and even play decent speedball with. I would look into a carbon fiber tank and a new hopper as some solid upgrades (these will do the job for a long time, I still run my halo on my axe when I loan it out) if you choose to keep up with it and want to put some more money into quality of life. Empire sells solid markers and personally what I suggest for beginners looking to go the speedball rout. they have really good customer support. The dye I series are simply my favorite masks, easily replaced with another mask that better suits your face or is more aesthetically pleasing to you.

Do you think the tank in the link is good? I was thinking of getting it but I don't know if it's good or not?
