Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me with my problem.
I have returned to playing paintball after several years out of the game and wow am I overwhelmed at all the new stuff available.
I bought a Tippmann M98C to get started and have been thinking about making some upgrades to it. The owner of my local field said that I should not put a lot of money into a Tippmann and just buy a differant marker. He suggested an Automag. But he was real vauge about why.
So here is my question. Why an Automag? (Simple huh?)
Here are the things I don't like about my Tippmann.
1. Inconsistant shots. Even on Nitro, there is still too much velocity flux from shot to shot, which makes for poor accuracy.
2. Rate of fire. There is not much I can do to the old Tippy to fix this and keep it legal for the fields around here. None of them allow the R/T. I am not looking for super fast full auto but I would like it to be a little faster.
3. The Tippy is just too long. It makes moving around up front and snap shooting a little tough.
So, is the automag the answer to my problems? In what ways will it address the issues I have with my Tippy? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. I am looking at the TKO Automag package on Paintballgear.com. Does anybody know much about that package? It says it comes with a barrel but does not say what kind. Does that look like a good deal or would I be better off to just build my own package?
Thanks
Bryan
