THE OFFICIAL PAINTBALL POST
I love paintball
Do you?
What kind of marker do you have?
I have a tippman A-5 w/ response trigger, sniper barrel, and laser sight
Comments
A5 with a flatline. I prefer fire control so I use the stock trigger, I mostly play scenario and I am usually either a general or part of his staff so I generally don't have need to "spray and pray". However I have some friends that usually stay near me that do use said methods that keep me nice and safe.
I just came back from a game this weekend based on the book blackhawk down.

This is like the third topic youve made about Paintball... not that thats a bad thing...
Anyways, I said it before and ill say it again, Phantoms are the way to go! Best gun ive ever owned, I prefer it over the custom cocker I had (almost nothing on it was stock, new bolt, new front block/3-way, cocking rod, double trigger, barrel, regulator...) If you see someone at your local field with a Phantom, ask them if you can try it. The accuracy is about as good as it gets (due to its insane consistancy of about +-1-2 FPS difference between shots, compared to a tippmann which can average over +-10FPS) its extremly light weight and its a challenge to play with. Its also much more rewarding and saves you heeps of money on paint.
I also have a Phantom... One of the best guns I have owned... I've played paint ball since '97 and was one of the first people getting involved in paint ball with a few buddies, and its grown out of control now...
I have modified my Phantom with little things with the internal parts of the gun, (pins, springs etc)
I remember my first gun was a pump action, can't remember make or model, but yes it was pump action, and I had alot of fun with it...
My next gun after that was the STINGRAY, and then shortly after was the piranha
love it,
i just have a regular old Tippmann 98 Custom w/ a 14in barrel. nothing special but hey it gets the job done.

I don't really get what the big deal is with pump/stock class markers.
I know they allow you to carry less stuff like paint and air but I heard they're less accurate and you have to "rock and cock". Plus you have to cock it everytime or don't you?
i do Kick some ass in PaintBall! tactic is the key!
Whoever you heard that theyre less accurate from needs to get their head checked. Pumps tend to be MUCH more accurate, at least mid range ones. Phantoms can, and I kid you not, land ball on top of ball on top of ball from 100 feet away. You will be blown away by the accuracy the first time you shoot one. If you have a stock class marker, then yes you need to "rock and cock" but it becomes second nature afterawhile and it just becomes so regular that you do it subconciously. But you can get vertical and side feed pump marker (uncluding the phantom) that allow you to put a normal hopper on.

Oh i have, 'Sup Air and Speedball are even more of a rush when you play with a pump, its always funny when people think 'oh that guy only has a pump ill just rush him' then gog him when he runs to bunker you
Speed ball is way fun, but I like to use tactics with my buddies in the woods, with man made shacks, bunkers etc...
I play on a team, and been playing all winter against people who challenge my, and my friends team.
We play, we're currently on top 3 in our area for wood ball, and challenging first place in 2 weeks... Wish us luck :!!
haha ya i know what u mean with the pump. But one time i rushed a dude with who had a pump and put 9 in his face b4 he could get one out
edit: o good luck levi

Exactly the same here, all I have added was the 14 inch barrel.
i have a good old 98 custom
whew you dont want to break a tippmann
its hard to do but when you do it they are a pain to fix ill tell you that
i have trouble with paintball even though im remotely good
im too tall and lanky to play and it hurts my legs when im bunking for 10 minutes or so
i got a tipman 98 which somehow has eaten 500 bucks, in customization and how much the gun itself costs.
punch i feel ya being tall in paintball sucks some major major butt.

im actually in a league where your only allowed semi auto guns and theres guys walking into the woods with like autocockers and shit and they are firing so fast you can tell it is full auto and the refs dont catch it and that makes me mad
and those guys with all the pods!!!!
i want to run up and be like hey
this is a fun sport not war
and they get hit in the pods and dont go out
my god i know what you mean those people who spend like thousands on their guns. i consider that slightly retarded, tactics will always overcome firepower in a real gunfight, only in speedball do you actually have to have those guns in order to be higher end. in the woods or in scenario its all tactics and who spent what on a gun only matters with accuracy at long range which tipmans can get equal to with flatlines, and other such crap.
the only weapon type thing i would spent that much on is a real katana made at least a 100 years ago, with real folded steel that was folded at least 500 times. made by a real artist.
that is infinetly cooler and better then one craptastic gun.

only sometimes do tactics beat out a really good gun....it can depend really but most of the time i get punked with like an indian creek or some crazy crap
o yeah and remember when you have your nice flatline and about 500 splash balls and one of them breaks and your over in the corner like masterbating trying to get that broken ball out of the barrel and fixed and that kid with the huge ass nitro tank and the JT jersey is like hey i have pods bitch and shoots you down like a little girl
Vamp, I heard that you can cut trees with katanas. I would spend 500 dollars to cut up the neighborhood Bradford Pears. Those trees can't even take hits from my AS guns without getting dents.

ROFLMAO, i would use a poleaxe for that and i have one. but i am not totally proficent with it. come to think of it i would never trust me with a weapon none the less 19 knives, 3 european style swords, 2 spears, 3 axes. just because i would cut down the trees, the mailboxes, and anything else that happens to stand in my neighborhood. but they havent caught me for it.
but we dont have many trees in my local desert, and the ones we do plant are very tough, i would love to try to cut one of yours down.
PS what FPS is your gun at.

HEY! I used to carry around pods -_- When I had my cocker. Its very easy to go though 100 rounds per game, so pods come in handy. Mind you it was much more expensive. Then I switched to the Phantom and I used about 100 rounds per DAY, usually about 6-8 games. I also learned to make everyshot count and you have to make smart moves or you can be in some big trouble.
The people with the autocokers are shooting semi-auto.They're using a technique where you alternate you middle and index finger on the double trigger and it shooters wicked fast.
Btw my fps is at 280.
Which video card do you have slotted in your head to get FPS like that?

Lol you can't be serios. FPS stands for feet per second
BTW someone said something about them wanting a Katana made like 500 years ago and folded over 5 times. I found out that my uncle(who's vietamese) grew up in Japan and he has like 3 Katanas like that.
