Initial Costs: High-End Equipment

To customize your high-end setup you can spend as much as you want on paintball equipment. Professional level guns can cost as much as $2000 and you can invest that much again on additional gear. Rather than CO2, most high-end equipment requires compressed air and to achieve maximum firing speeds you need a motorized hopper. After your initial purchase you can also buy upgrades and customize all aspects of your equipment from improved circuit boards to custom anodizing jobs. High-end clothing includes custom jerseys, specialized pants and elbow and knee pads.
