Z Body...

[CSalomon]

Hey guys, I was wondering whether is it worth the money getting the Z Body for my mag. Here is my set up for my mag right now: X-Valve, ULE Body, Intelliframe, ANS GenX2 Regulator, Armson Stealth 13", Evo II, PMI 45cu 4500psi. I wanted to know because I'm seriously thinking of getting one. I need something more, I love the headshots I get from my mag right now. But I want long distance headshots. I know you have to buy a bigger bore barrel size like .695+. Just wondering if you guys would tell me the good and the bad aspects of the Z Body. Thanks a bunch.

I havn't had any experience with it, but Warpig.com did a review on it. Heres the link:

Thanks SpecialBlend for the reply.

its not worth it...it pops balls and it lowers fps...you need large bore sozes and ac threaded barrels...it IS NOT worth the price...i read the review and it only helped 1/2 the shots...just aim highier and dont pay all that $$$...thats my opinion...

[SpecialBlend2786]

Yeah, after reading the review i agree with RenagadeOfFunkRTPcf. I'd stick with the ULE body that you have right now.

damn straight you better agree...and the body is heavy and funky looking....FunkY is for me

[CSalomon]

Just jam a flatling on your mag, with enough force it would fit.

Ive noticed some of you have been registered for less than a year so I must state the above statement was a joke, a tippmann barrel will not fit in a mag.

CSal - why don't you just move up the field?

ummm... no.

The warpig article (which was probably the one you read) was flawed. They didn't use a barrel with large enough of a bore size barrel.

Here's someone who's actually used a properlly working z-body. Me, and I loved it. If you're a woodsball player, it's awesome; you get that flat trajectory that makes longer-range shots much easier, since paintballs break on just about anything.

Lvl 10 is a must-have for Z-bodies. You need to use a paint with a relativly brittle shell in order to get the maximum effective range with the backspin. Advantage shell (RPS "dry" Shell) is great.

I do move up the field. Where I play at there are nothing but noobies, so you are the only person moving. Once in a while you get a brave noobie but he gets out quick. Thanks for imput joey.

[PyRo]

K, and why do you need more range to get the "noobies" out. Just bunker them, if yoru so much "braver"

[CSalomon]

Mostly because they surrender before I get to them. But the subject is on "Z Body" not "Bunkering Noobies". But if I decide to make a thread called "Bunkering Noobies" I'll be sure to PM you. Fair enough?

What bore size barrel is needed?
What bore size paint is needed?
What boresize barrel and paint were used in that article?
What was is the fit like between the needed boresize and paint?
What is was the fit of the paint and barrel used in that article?
