I have many friends who own Tippmans and they are tough as nails. An
excellent choice for someone new to the sport. Most fields I've been to use
these for rental guns as they are extremly tough with low maintenance. As
Mozaf recommended, clean it and lube it after each use. If you need a
manual or help on how to clean and lube, I would goto Tippman's web site at
http://www.tippmann.com/

Hope you have fun.
