When I first started playing paintball was when I was 16, a buddy found a box of 20 or some splatmasters. Some of them worked, some didn't. We would go get those 12 gram co2 and 10 round test tubes from a local sparting goods store from a friend b/c you had to be 18 to purchase paintball equipment w/o a parent. Ignorance set in and our low budget had us steal ski goggles for eye protection from a local ski shop. All I can say is that close contact, low action paintball was enough to get me hooked. We would make "hissing" noises to simulate the release of one of those 12 g co2 to make your opponent think that you were changing, this would sometime get them to rush you thinking you were Vulnerable, makes them an easy shot. Those games, you couldn't find a bunker and spray and pray the whole game, you actually had to shoot someone. The funny thing is that every shot was a lucky shot, lucky if the ball breaks. Just something about those Splatmasters.

I went straight from a tippmann model 98 to an automag RT. So i'm different. =)

[AirChunck]

All yea, about that theory. My post-spaltmaster playing was w/ a borrowed spyder and my first purchased marker was in 97, 68 automag pf.

I went from a rental tipman pro am to a pnumatic design storm and a old school pgp to a three year retirment then a spyder and then a rainmaker that i traded for some beads and trinkets (now the rainmaker and a pgp have somehow been grafted togther .... don't ask then to my micromag retro and my shiny black ray of sunshine EMAG #152

I went from a VM 68 to Cocker (had it 3 days and took it back, exchanged for my wonderful Minimag) and the Minimag never failed me. Now I got my blue beast, E-mag w/ warp and all the goodies. Yum....

[Dubstar112]

well, before i got my mag, i had used anything i could.. i never owned my own marker

i used many markers till i could decide what i wanted. ive sucessfully used these markers for a day of play - untill i got my mag of course

- tippmann 98
- tippmann 98 RT
- Automag RT
- several angels- leds, lcds, darks..
- bushmaster
- Elcd spyder
- Em1
- chaos ANuS series cockers
- mag
---- after i shot a mag, it was over.. cheap price good deal, fun to shoot with..

WOOOHOO my first 2 page post....

[prodiGyBNTY]

2 guys on my team (including me) went from spyder to mag..however, that had MAJOR influencing with 2 other guys on our team who started/currently own mags...the other spyder guy also owns a cocker as his 3rd gun purchased...but he's one of those "i have to own everything" kinda guys

[prodiGyBNTY]

as a side note, my spyder is a better marker than my rtpro for recball! and ive used it the last 2 times out instead of my rt. but for any real action, i rely on my rt of course. like when there is a crowd of newbies and a couple of angeldolts come out talkin shiz about renties this and newbies that...off come the gloves!

[FeelTheRT]

ok, i'm not trying to flame nor dis you in any way... but..

1.) your theory is totaly not a theory

2.) I've owned a spyder but liked M98s better. I've owned an Automag, RT and Cocker. I'm not exacly sure what i really like, RT or Cocker... can't decide. I'm thinking about switching to Angel. But anywho, your thing is inaccurate.

[ThePatriot]

FeeltheRT dont u be tellin me my thing is inaccurate....once you form a theory about something like this and it is totally correct than u can flame me but until u do what i did, u got no right sayin ne thing

[RTrampage]

I went from using a VM-68 to a Spyder TL to what I have now, an RT.

[pumpamatic]

I went from SL-68II to a Mag, almost got a spyder though. I still do like spyders better. I can't stand how loud and that dumb clamshell design on a m98.
