it has a back bottle, but i dont mind that it has back bottle

[psychowarden]

Some people prefer the backbottle. I have a back bottle stock class and I love it. The VSC get less shots per 12gram, I can get about 45-50 depending on the weather.

So good deal or not?

[etjoyride]

from what you said it sounds like a pretty good deal as long as the gun is in decent condition...however, it's alays easier to tell with pics

i bid and then sume guy sniped it
he didnt even bid before
it was on ebay
now im probly not going to get a gun for a while
i got soo pissed off

[marctooshbro]

should i just get that tippmann that runs off propane
it would be alot cheaper

[pachytriton]

I shot one of those-the pump stroke is brutal and it smells like burning propane. It's also mad heavy. The phantom blows it out of the water. Check out www.whitewolfairsmithing.com for good deals on new phantoms.

wecopaintball.com will hook ya up, the back bottle stock class configuration is one of the cheaper models, so it shouldn't be too bad brand new.

[pachytriton]

I was looking at getting one too, is there any major disadvantage to the sc back bottle compared to the vsc?

The C and the V are awfully close on the keyboard :)

Thanks bro, as to verticla verses backbottle.. I thought I'd hate back bottle but I love it on my buzzard, I'll stick with back bottle for good now. It's better 12 gram efficency with a back bottle setup vs vertical, but you have to decide looks/comfort vs efficeny I geuss.

[marctooshbro]

i didnt send the link to that onedude guy
also where has better deals wevopaintball or whitewolf

[50 cal]

Wevo has great prices. Check his in stock pics for some really nice Phantoms.

[marctooshbro]

should i just get a pump autococker it would be easer to find used and I could convert it into a semi
how much heavyer are they

[Recon by Fire]

A fine example of Ebay newbness :(

Auction snipers, they are out there....

Stay alert, stay alive.

[marctooshbro]

If i got a pump cocker then could i run it with C02

If you're still considering a Phantom (I love mine!), try The PHOG (the posts are full of great info, and the marketplace may have what you're looking for). It's a great board, with great people who'll be willing to help: http://www.bunkerboyz.com/phog/ (You can find Snipers/Cockers, too.)
Before I got my Phantom I did a lot of reading there and chatting with people; I learned a lot and bought my Phantom as quite an informed buyer, which is why I'm lurking here now - educating myself before adding a Mag to the list!! ;)

cool thanks man
