save up and buy a good nitrogen tank (don't cheap out on the steel ones), you can use this nitrogen tank with you Tippmann until you have the funds for a new gun. Problem solved.

Depends mostly all on what you want to do. You plan on playing mostly all woodsball and scenarios/big games? If so then sure keep your Tippmann. Nothing is better for that area because you can alter it to fit any way you can imagine for the surroundings.

However if playing 'strictly' speedball games you can definatly look around, because for most people Tippmann isn't their first choice for hunkering behind that bunker.

So first figure out what area of play you are going to be in the most, and then go from there.

i wouldnt upgrade your tippmann, i mean the only other real upgrades are the ebolt and lp kit but those are failry expensive. anyways i would just leave your stuff as is and save for a new gun and have your tippmann as a back up... or try to sell your tippmann on the tippmann forums to a young kid that wants one. you may be able to gt 160-170 for your gun and a tank and a cheap 200 round hopper. and then you could try to sell your co2 tanks to friends for cheap and maybe make $200 towards a new gun www.tippmann.com

if thats the case i would just keep the tippmann as a back up. and just save up for a nice tank then a gun cuase you can always use the HPA tank on your tippmann as Aceman has said... and where do you play? if you want i can hook you up with a few different types of guns to try and use.


you could also try the Pirahna Evo with the Eyes it will cost you like $250-$300 but you can still use Co2 on it and its quick and fast and it has eyes so very little chops

i was in the same situation

i bought a very crappy steal tank though, dont do that, and i used it on my tippmann for awhile, till i sold the tippmann to a friend (riipped him off pretty bad) and saved acouple dollars and got a minimag. now i have an rt pro, though

if i could go back in time, id save up longer and be more patient, and buy a fiber tank, and then an rtpro, instead of rushing int it with the cheaper solutions
