Hey yall like to know what your first 3 paintball guns were. Ill start.

1)Diamond GT - Ouch! desperate and rooked out.

2) F4 Illustrator - a lot better than the last p.o.s

3) LX Mag - Woot!

[Mossman]

Been done before.....

Anyhow...I'll join in anyways :)

1st 3 i ever owned......

Tippy 98
2k Cocker
Spyder Shutter

I sorta just bought the cocker cuz it was a good deal, so i traded it for the shutter and a bunch of cash.

My next gun after that was RT#69....so i guess that's my 3rd since i didnt own the cocker for more than a week and never used it

[nastymag]

here is my first 7 ( in 3 years)

1. f4 .... not bad for what i paid

2. AUTOMAG! ( never let me down )

3. 2k cocker ( it was nice ... when it wasnt leaking

4. Automag! ( i liked my first to much)

5. Spyder2000! ( because its fun to have one)

6. compact 2000 spyder( because i didnt pay for it )

7. LED Angel ( wow ... who knew it could shot that nice)

8. V sport Shocker ( because the brick ..shoots realllll nice)

[LaW]

I like to just name them all.....

in order of when i got them, i don't own them all still however



pgp (still own, gotta love this thing :) )

stingray (sold :( Ran it with a bottomline, 114ci hpa system, sp all american barrel and a venturi bolt :) )

spyder (Proof that you can put 500 dollars into a spyder and you only get about 150 back :) )

vm68 (sniff sniff I miss this one)

tracer pump (still own somewhere)

smart mag (sold valve and some other parts on it)

sto cocker (no more)

impulse (no more)

angel led (no more)

hyperretromag (hyperframe and retro valve on the smart mag)

[Curly]

1. Spyder Xtra (used it for maybe 1/2 day before i decided it wasnt for me)

2. Stock Cocker (had for a couple of months)

3. Hyperframed Vert feed minimag with eclipse splash kit (was a cool gun but it was a blender)

5. Sandridge f5 marble ano body

6. Blue to Wine Fade Emag

Ok, you guys are all making me laugh, cause I haven't seen anyone yet who owned a gun prior to there being semi-autos on the market.
My first gun:
Splatmaster (1987)
PGP pump
Razorback II (first gun I had with auto-trigger)
Shortly after this gun, I got a Phantom, and some guy showed up to the field I played at in Eugene, OR with some new semi called an "Automag".... Needless to say, it didn't work very well in cold weather on CO2 ;) So he was on the receiving end of my 14" Phantom quite a bit. I didn't know at the time that Tom had really designed the gun to run on HP, and I thought it was kind of a piece, so I bought an F1 Illustrator, which was a little more reliable at the time. A couple years later, I bought a Mag, and really liked it, then I sold it, and bought another one, which I played with in Panama for 4 years (got my picture in APG playing in Panama with that mag). Well, there have been many other guns, but enought reminiscing for one day...I know there are a few other old timers here that know what I'm talking about :D

5. Normal VF Emag (I LOVED this gun... only had to sell because of college... stupid college...)

[Evil Bob]

1) Nelspot 007 (1982), bought 3 of them, carried 2 since they were so damn hard to load (10 pound spring bolt action) it was like shooting an old black powder pistol.

2) SplatMaster (1983): Had it for two weeks, then someone figured out how to make a pump arm out of PVC for the Nelspot 007 and we went back to using the Nelspots again, sold plastic garbage splatmaster to a friend who used it once for a day then gave it to his cousin for a christmas present.

3) PMI PGP (1984): Bought 4, modified 2 of them with longer barrels, butt stock, did all kinds of crazy things with them, awesome marker for it's time.

Nah. It is possible to put replace the Ironmen name on the Ironmen Intimidator by another one (don't ask how, I'm not in charge of this and don't know how this will be done). Hence the Crossfire Intimidator :)

[Oregon_pb_]

Trracer Pump
F-2 Illustrator
vm-68

[Cyberious]

Nelspot 007 (still have it!)
Splatmaster
PGP
PMI2 (probably my favorite and firs one with continuous air)
Nightmare (if I remember correctly it came out of the box set at 500 fps!)
BlackWidow (very accurate)

This was in the time when paint was 3-5 dollars per tube of 10.
A case of 1000 was 80 bucks wholesale.
Full masks were optional.
Paint came in red or blue, was oil based, and did not wash out.
Chronographing was shooting the marker into thin wall board to see if it splintered.
A high rate of fire was 2 bps.

How's that for a trip down memory lane?
