    Thinkin of buyin a phantom

    Thinkin of buying a phantom, because Im wanting to try other forms of play besides tourney ball. Im thinking of gettin a phantom and puttin nitro and a revi on it (just so I dont have to shake the hopper). Im also gonna buy the 12 gram changer and tubes for stock play only. Im still gonna play tourney ball with my ULE mag, but I heard stock play helps refine your skills and accuracy for other forms of play tell me what you think.

    I'd recommend you start with the VSC and whatever barrel length you like (I find the 6 to be a little short, the 11 is great).

    Gravity feed breeches are relatively cheap, so if you order from CCI (not open weekends) you can get whatever anno you want and get matching accessories at the same time.

    for a lot more info on phantoms check out the official owners group.

      I will make the arguement that once you become good with a pump, you will be able to use it in normal tournaments. The only thing I cannot do with my sterling is run up the tape and shoot across the field as I run. Or try and bunker more than 1 person in the same bunker.

      So long as I don't count those moves, semi or Pump I get the same number of eliminations.

      oh and if you want a light setup look into the 13/3000 HPA tanks (do a google search) they are great nitro setups for pumps. ~300 shots per fill.

      Good luck and glad to see another player interested in pump.

          I was also serouiusly thinking of buying a phantom just for exactly why you want one. I would recommend the VSC because its not that much more then the other ones.

                GetRealPaintball has them. But does not list a price or ordeirng method so you would have to call them..



                Mine came from Rebel Rdige.



                They are pricey but dang I love mine so much

                    micro phantoms are fun, since they are like 10 inches long, but like every one else said, go with the vsc, you wont be disappointed. oh, and dont forget to get an oring spacer for it, so balls dont fall out the barrel.

                      you don't really need to get a revy. just get a gravity feed phantom and a $9 viewloder gravity feed. and if I were gonna get a phantom i'd get one with the 45 grip frame.

                      This is the one i'd get.
