Forget about the guns, what about the masks, what mask to get that doesn't fog up as soon as you move?
I have only done paintball the rental way so I have never had the equipment to experiment with. If you can not find anyone that knows of one that does not fog up, I persoanlly would try to drill a few extra vent slots/slits to increase air flow in an old mask before I tried a new mask. Not sure if this would work or even if the masks would split or not, but I thought I would tell you what I would try.

be vewy vewy kaeful when you twy that, I would never drill around in my mask. I know from some tests with old masks, that you can push em well out of boundaries, but still thats no reason for me to risk my eyes.
Yes true and considering my background I am surprised I missed this warning also 
But yes if you try drilling, start with vey small bits and keep them to the lower aspect of the mask, say around the manufactured vents or around the chin region. Also, for drilling into plastic, try heating the bit a slight bit before hand. This will allow the hole to open a little easier, this has worked with other plastic objects have worked with like arm, wrist, and ankle braces, but the plastics could very easily be of different make ups.
As P'uck said try this on an old mask before you try it on a nice new shiny one.

**** that, I wouldn't recommend doing anything to your mask except adding manufacturer approved equipment.
The reason I mentioned thermal lenses is because once I installed one I never had a problem with misting. I've currently got a Dye i3 pro which works great. It costs ú60 in the UK, imo it's silly to try and find a cheap way to protect your eyes - I SAW BIKER GROVE YOU KNOW , poor PJ 
In this case definitely do not modify the mask in my way

What can you do to minimize the fogging, except being very fit and not give off any heat.
I've sort of told the guys already that I'm king of the hill so now I need every edge I can get to back up my claim.
LMAO!!! That is why you try to let your actions speak for themselves.
From a physiological standpoint, if you can breath through your nose more that will help dehumidify the air a little more. This takes being in pretty good shape to do at higher intensities and is by no means the cure all.
