Thoughts on Lapco Grey Ghost?

[Shirow]

Been reading about them a bit. I'm contemplating picking up a stock class pump next year. Still love my mag but those days when $ is tight and I feel like something different, it'd be nice to get by with a smaller amount of paint.

Just wondered how many people here own/have shot one and what your thoughts are.

Put a small hopper on your marker. Go out with only 50 balls... PERIOD! Don't carry a pod pack.

If you are worried about money, I'm thinking the few hundred for the GG would buy you quite a bit of paint if you only took 50 balls each out. I mean think if you went SC, and had to get the 12G's all the time, plus the 10 round tubes, plus the new harness. Factor in how much you would take on the field at one time... say... hmmmm.. 20 10 round tubes for a total of 200 shots. How many will you shoot in one game? Say all of them. Well there isn't much difference in that than there is taking a pocket hopper and grabbing one of those little 2 pod pouches which can often be borrowed from the field and just take 2 small pods or 1 140 round pod out. LEARN to shoot less.... you don't have to buy a whole new set up to do RESTRICT that. You already have all the gear, just have to learn out to work it.

Oh and as for the GG... I don't care for anything that allows roll outs...

[Shirow]

True enough, part of it is wanting to do something a little different too. I'm with you though.

The new one has a detent in it

Well if ya want it just to want it, then by all means.... Just find it funny when people figure that buying a car that gets 28MPG for 10K is better than sticking to their truck which is paid for but only gets 25MPG.... That 10K PLUS Insurance and all the other costs can buy you a good bit of gas for the 3MPG difference.... Sure over time it may work out...

So yeah... iffin ya want one, go with one... Can't give ya much else as I know others here have em and can give you the low down...

I didn't know they finally got detents put in though...

Good to know.

Yep, I'm totally with you there, if that was my only reason for wanting one I definitely wouldn't do it.

WK2, I don't have a 13ci to test with right now, but does that rig get much more than the 50 rounder off the air supply or is 50 about it? I'm assuming you've got it set up for about 650psi output off the tank reg?

Let me get back with you on that... I just put together this set-up and my tank is out of air... I will go to my local pro-shop probably tomorrow (depending on work schedule) and get some air...

but according to http://www.scubatoys.com/paintball/paintballshots.asp it should get about 130 shots...

i use a 13 its hardmounted to my tacone longbow and 130 sounds about right.. it finishes all 5 of my feedsticks(100) and has enough to fire more i used to have 180 rounds in sticks and it wouldnt shoot all of it so i got the 22 tank for that LOL but sold that off and stuck with 5 feedsticks aka 20 a stick

I 2nd the limited paint comment.
I usually use a 100 round Sport Shot shake n bake on whatever I'm shooting.
Tried pump and personally its just not even as close as much fun as playing with a mech mag.
