• Newbie - A slang term for a new player in the sport of paintball. This person has limited experience playing paintball or knowledge about markers and team tactics. Generally, newbies rent paintball guns for a little while before buying their first machine. Usually, the first machine a newbie will buy will be a low end marker, as they are usually a little easier to maintain, and there won't be as much of a loss of money if the paintgun is damaged. Some good newbie starter games include the ACI F4 Illustrator XP, Game Face Vexor, and the Kingman Spyder Victor III. The Spyder Victor III is featured with a drop forward, vertical feed, new-style anti-double feed, quick take-down pin, and low pressure chamber.
