What was your first gun?

A Red Black Dragun Basic.

True.

1st gun that shot paintballs was a Blue raptur from walmart. Broke, and had it replaced then broke agian and bought a spyder lt+ . So my first Real gun was a spyder

[Clare]

Classic mag :)

[FreakBaller12]

spyder tl plus

[Load SM5]

Well my first gun was a splatmaster (I know they're plastic, but they were a real gun back then) My first non-plastic guns were an old Hammer Pump and a Tippman Pro-Lite.

[exedotbat]

Tippman 98c

Back in 94, classic mag with remote, expansion chamber, braided hoses, and a spacer kit.:D

Just sold it a month ago with a Z-body, Dye 45 double trigger frame, OTP 1st gen 12in. barrel, shocktech drop, ANUS (A.N.S.) Phase 2 (most worthless thing on the planet), and some aftermarket on/off valve. Basically the only part on old Maggie she came with was the rail and the reg.

:( We saw good times together. But it was time for a change...::sniffle::

[Gadget]

A Tippman Pro-Am - got it in 1993. Had a recoil like an Armalite and was just horrible, paid a small fortune for it as well. :mad:

[No sKiLLz]

I can't believe a new Classic is still going for the same price I paid for it 9 years ago.:eek:

[Brak]

model 98 custom...used!

[ChuckWag78]

Pre-star Minimag. I got it new the summer before my soph. year of high school. WOW that was like SIX YEARS AGO!!! Where does the time go?

[hitech]

A BE Nightmare. And yes it was.

[afrankart]

classic powerfeed mag

[silentdeath55]

ahhhh... those were the days......

My first gun was a verticle rebel. I did some sweet(if you could call it that)customizing on that beast. Then i sold it to some newb for a whole lot more than i paid for it, and bought my trusty ol' 98 custom(later to fitted with a flatline barrel which i bought for half price.) Then i sold that to another newb(who later sold it and bought an RT Pro).

Then we get to the present, my good ol' minimag...I love this gun. Looking to upgrade to an e-mag or x-mag in the next few years though. I will never buy another gun that is not Airgun Designs made.

[Paintchucker]

[Skreemer]

[Daroy99]

I had a 1st gen spyder that i borrowed(spelling?) from my friend for an airsoft gun and he broke the airsoft gun so i took his paintball gun. It turned out it was a complete piece of crap, had to get a new bolt, valve, cup seal, spring, cost me $50 to get it fixed. It has the old silver single trigger frame, and the screws that hold the back in.

[Halliday]

Model 98

[yeahthatsme]

ummm...heres how my list goes:

spyder sport
spyder e-99
retro mag
matrix lcd
gz timmy

[jaylock33]

[Halo2x]

a completly beat up used and abused Ex-rental model 98(and i still have it lol)

[andreb]

1990 PMI Piranha pump and a 40 rnd. ammo box

[Dryden]

hitech - you are correct!
andreb - that was a great gun!

Mine, going back 15 years:

1) Brass Eagle Nightmare 12"
2) Carter Tri-Car
3) PMI-3/VM-68
4) MiniMag

I enjoyed all of these for one reason or another, especially the BE Nightmare. The Nightmare with 12" barrel was modeled to look like a shotgun and had the report and recoil to match.

Of all the guns I didn't own, but had the opportunity to play with, I always liked the Razorback II, Phantom, and PMI Piranha pumps.

[Riddler236]

Tippmann 68-special.

...And believe me, you don't want to read the list of all the guns I've owned after that. I have it typed up and saved on my computer just so I can keep track. :)

[stebs]

1) Hammer pump
2) Viper M-1
3) MY MAG:)

[LittlePaintballBoy]

search;)

[no_doz]

by the way, im jsut wondering what gun u guys had as ur first other than mainly plastic ones, like talons, stingrays, tigersharks, or blades.

[Steelrat]

Sheridan VM-68. I still have it, and am in the process of selling it, but it kills me to lose it. A true classic.

[Muzikman]

Well, the first gun I owned was a Trracer. The second gun I owned was a Mag. I bought them about 2 months apart back in 93. Still own both but neither see much daylight...though I did just pickup a new in box Chameleon kit the other day so the Trracer might see new life:)

[DWill]

A Brass Eagle Talon, which broke after my very first game, which sadly forced me to take it back to walmart :D. Have had a classic mag ever since.

[ZCute]

TKO mag package from PBGear.com 6 or 7 months ago :)

[slushee]

[reefer madness]

stingray 2 and it still works

[andreb]

Yea Dryden, those Piranhas were very good guns! Very low tech but still. In my first tournament ever I got penalized at the chrono for shooting a guy at 366 fps but the dam gun had no velocity adjustment :rolleyes:

I alway wish I could find a used one for sale like the one I had(the short model) and clean it up and refinish giving it a new look.

[edweird]

My first was a old school Splatmaster pistol...

back in the olden days of NSG and Gotcha!

[fester]

[NatogDarkheart]

PMI-1 with the top tube cut off and a pvc direct feed glued on. California rig CA, and a 30 round feed tube. Also had an autotrigger on it...

Second marker was a Derringer Mach II, a nel-spot clone.
First semi-auto was a spyder compact.
Then i got a '98 cocker.
a classic automag now with ULE.
A stock-class PMI-1.
And the latest addition was an e-class orracle.
