Just wondering what everyones first gun was. Mine was none other than my good ol stingray. I remember when i used that puppy. Man those were the dayz. I had a trigger finger strong enuff to pull a semi uphill single fingeredly. I remember i put a scope on it to intimidate all my friends with their talons when we walked out into the woods......drip drip....


i think im gonna put my mag aside for my stingray for a game next time i go. Just for the feel of the god ol days.

We have a thread on this already, do a search.

Anyway, my first gun was a mag.

"The Rose That Grew From Concrete"

Did you hear about the rose that grew from concrete?
Proving nature's law is wrong,
It learned to walk without feet.
Funny it seems, but by keeping it's dreams,
It learned to breathe fresh air.
Long live the rose that grew from concrete,
When no one else ever cared.

I got hooked on the game about 3 years ago at this indoor field on Long Island. We used the Tippmann Carbines I think. Anyway, myfirst gun was a Model 98. I did a whole bunch of upgrade that I go from M98center.com, I added the hpa upgrade and the flatline barrel.

Now I shoot the Emag. And Mags are where I'm staying.

First gun was a Talon, which i loved even though it is pretty much the worst gun they make('cides the blade which wasn't out yet)... I built a custom 14" barrel out of PVC, a coupler, and vblack spray paint, but a red dot sight on, made a custom grip...

I then bought a 'Ray 2 when I started playing at the fields(as a newbie)

I then got a Custom model 98 after I started playing rec-ball, and formed a team. I've modded the hell outa that gun and always took AWESOME care of it.

I'm now waiting to get my splahsed blue(smart parts) Powerfeed Mag in the mail... Any day now! As soon as I get it, my c98 is going up for sale http://www.automags.org/ubb/frown.gif

I still have my talon though, as a nastolgic thing, and I think I'll always have it http://www.automags.org/ubb/smile.gif

I can't believe it, but apparently I am too old because my first marker was

Line SI Bushmaster Deluxe.

At the time, it was the only marker to have on the tournament scene. Back when semi-auto was still a dream and "constant air" (what most of you guys would call a 12oz CO2 tank) was new. Little silver CO2 cartridges EVERYWHERE on the speedball field.

My first unofficial paintball gun was bought at a toystore. It was called "Gotcha." I then had a PGP (that little pistol one (i was young). After that, I got a pump Nelson Nasty Boy (don't really remember). Then in 93, for christmas, I got an Automag. I have had it since. I just paid for an X-mag and been told to expect it in June.

My first/only gun is my mag. The guy that got me into paintball had a cocker. We went to the field and I used a tippman carbine rental. I was hooked. When we went to the store, he showed me a used mag and said that would be the one he would get if he were going to get one. Five years later, some mods, still shoots great.
