    Time to step up (new gun)

    Alright. I've played paintball for quite some time now. Over 3 years. but I bought my tippmann 98 Custom about a year and a half ago.
    Throughout that time i bought a few upgrades
    RT kit, Teardrop, Stickies, Drop Forward. Nothin Special.
    And my friends started buyin impulses. I'm takin it a little more serious.

    I learned how my blowback works and how to take it apart and put it back togather. Clean everything without any problems.

    I think its time for a new gun. I'm not a big fan of my tippmann any more. its just not consistant enough. And the bolt sticks quite a bit, Although thats mostly user error.
    And there just too big. I started playing speedball and I can't stay tight in a bunker.

    Can someone please give me a suggestion as to what gun to buy. I know that it is personal preference mostly. But I'm just looking for a better gun. Smaller, Faster, More upgrades, nicer. Just please give me a few ideas of which guns to look into. And dont just say a Mag cuz its automags.org. I want some good suggestions.

    I have up to around the 500 area. but i wouldn't really want to spend that much or much over. Under 500 is good.

    I need some ideas before i make my decision.

    thanx

      Mags

      I didn't mean anything bad about mags.
      I just said not to say Mag right away because its an automag site.

      I'm sure they are pretty good guns.

              If you want to go new, I'd go with the Bushy, decent electric...

              If you go used, I'd find maybe a 2k1 Timmy, maybe a used Impulse or an Angel LED...

                  with keeping under the 500 area, im sure you could find a bushy and get a nitro tank at the same time

                          The M98 was my first gun back in 99 I used it for about 2 years...and I had a ton of upgrades on it....about 500$ worth(including my nitro tank)

                          you need yo change your O-rings on your hammer...if its sticking a lot..oil..oil..oil


                          well anyway...I was on a team where everone had a mag of somekind....I left that team a long time ago...but I always loved on how relaible the mag was....They where as sturdy as my M98.

                          So when i decided i realy needed a new gun...i ended up geting a killer deal on Ebay for a minimag...I bought it for 330$ with a ton of upgrades and a very nice drop forward....and I gota say....I love my minimag to death...is extreamly reliable...and extreamly easy to maintain...

                          Pluse with the LVL10 and Xvalve...man thats a killer combonation...the lvl10 is one of the best things to come to paintball...

                          With a mag you have a problem free gun...as well as endless room for upgrades and style...I think electro is overrated....unless you get a realy high end gun($1000+) or a hybrid system....cuz if your batt dies or your board malfuntions your screwed...

                          but after all it all comes down to presonal prefrance.

                              i aecond that skyboy. i say go for a mag. or step it up and get an emag( i know you only have 500. but u might be able to find a used one for that ammount.) if u get a mag, u get an electro and a mechanical. so its ur main gun and backup.
