This hobby is going to kill me!

Ugh so DH's paintball gun arrived at my parent's house on Monday (yay!).  My dad calls me and tells me that the gun needs other components for it- such as a CO2/compressed air tank.  I of course, not believing him, text my neighbor who is the one who told me which one to get DH.

Our neighbor confirmed my dad's statement.  Now I need to get him a steel or aluminum compressed air tank (which run around $100/each) ontop of the gun (which was around $200).  And I'm waiting on hearing back if there is anything else that is 'needed' or if everything else is just an accessory.

DH is lucky that I didn't buy him anything for his birthday the past two years because this is turning into a much bigger Christmas present than I anticipated!

    I agree.  At least it seems like a hobby where once you buy a basic setup, you don't have as much to buy in the future.  Until... a new thing comes out.  I'm sure he'll love it and brag about it for a long time. :)

  • I understand first hand how expensive paintball can get!  Other than the gun and the tank, the only absolute necessity is getting paintball pellets.  However, some people don't like certain brands, certain kinds aren't allowed different places (at least in KC), etc.  I think you've got the basics he needs; let him get any new gear he wants! =]
