All these together makes up the paintball package. This can be an expensive sport with 20$ as the entry fee and almost 40$ spent for the paintballs in a game. One might end up spending hundreds of dollars in a match.
So to save the player's money paintball packages are available to them differing in cost structure and the equipment sets. Generally, the packages consist of items like a paintball gun, along with hoppers and masks. They also include air cylinders and items like squeegee and barrel plugs whereas the more expensive packages come with other paintball necessities like paintball oil, ammo packs and paintballs along with the other equipments.
The price of the packages range from 100$ to 500$, for example here are 3 popular paintball package deals with varying price structures-Kingman Spyder package (100$), Tippmann Tactical 98 package(259.98$),and the Tippman A5 package(489.95$).

For the beginners a less expensive package would do but it comes with its own pros and cons. a cheap package includes a paintball gun, an air tank, barrel plug and a hopper.
But on the other hand these paintball packages might be fitted with outdated equipments like the gravity feed hopper unable to fire more than 11 balls in a second and quiet useless in a tournament. What is more preferable here is an electro hopper equipped with a fast- shooting- rate feed. The mask and goggles quality are very poor causing problems during the game. So there are various paintball packages available in the market but it is for the players to decide depending on their budget and their efficiency which one suits their purpose the best.
