My husband plays at Bob's Paintball almost every weekend. Call and ask Bob's paintball if they sell equipment....not sure if they do or not. Sports Extreme has a paintball field but not sure if they sell equipment or not. My husband wishes there was an indoor field in Mobile.

If he gets into this hobby serious enough, you can convert to air, and the scuba tanks and refills cost a lot less then CO2...

I have a few buddies that go out and take 2-3 scuba tanks with them...

atleast it gives you something to check into.

If he keeps up with it, try taking a look at this website for paintballs and other equipment. They have everything there and tend to be a lot cheaper than sporting good stores. Paintballs still cost a lot of money though

How much does it cost to fill a scuba tank? Wouldn't a CO2 tank do the same thing and is only $12 for 20 lbs?
