When should I buy it?

Yeah my parents think it'll promote violence in me and that I'll just shoot people for fun, hahaha.

Oh, then buy an army knife It's much more convenient, causes less sound and it's simple to take it to a college...

Question about the A5 vs the X7 - the X7 costs $100 more....but does it last, fix, and feel $100 better than the A5? It would be great if someone has used both to a decent degree, or could talk to friends with either of the two guns about them. So far I have found reviews on both, but no reviews that really compared the two.

Well if any of you are in the market or want opinions on the gun. I recommend you get a gun but be aware that paintball is expensive.

I was never a huge fan of paintball so my logic in this situation is probably a bit skewed. I wouldn't get it personally, considering all college kids are usually broke and any money you come across is much better served on food and booze. I would figure the novelty of a paintball gun would wear off within a few months or so, assuming that you're not using it very often at school, and it also brings the added chance of being caught and reprimanded for it at uni.
