Tippmann 98 Customs
They are cheap and are built like a rock!

buy my piranha:D

(just kidding)

A nice Tippmann 98 Custom would be the way to go, too many reasons to list right now.

And of corse there is always the mag. If I could start all over again I would start with a minimag.

I would get an Tippman A-5. It's almost as foolproof as the C98 plus it's got a built in loader that'll feed just as fast as the gun shoots. Not a bad choise for $235 or so IMHO.

Have them rent gun to see if they like it. If you can’t rent then I would go with a standard 68 Mag. Then if they do like it you don’t need to buy a new gun you could use that money for upgrades.

first choice would be a classic / mini mag, if not the 98 is good (to long for my preference but a very reliable gun). sypders and syder clones ext. I wouldn't really recomend but they do look nicer then a 98 but some I have seen/shot do not shoot as nice as the 98. A5, i havn't shot but a friend recently picked one up and likes it so far.

For a beginner marker, I would recommend either a Spyder or a Dragun TES. They are both VERY well priced, and they will perform as well as any beginner can push them.
