A PGP will build skill and make a man humble and areciate anything else, like an autococker. Also with the tactics you learn with a sc gun you can become very good at the game and conserve a lot of paint. The only down side is that his friends that started out with semi's will laugh at him and(as we all know) the peer pressure may discourage him from trying to get better with it and he may hound you for a "better" gun. I myself started out with a Tippman model 98 but turned towards the nostalgic PMI'sand KP because I love the classics.But everyone is differant =)
P.S. (extremely OT) anyone have or know someone that wants to sell a 68 or 67 mustang give me a reply
