Awesome, i hope you enjoy as much as i've enjoyed mine over the past two or three years(shes calling for more upgrades again
).
some words of (hopefully) help and advice:
1. DO NOT GIVE UP. this is going to be very hard, more then likely you will be owned again and again the first few times you play. with practice and experience with the Phantom things will improve.
2. have a good attitude: DO NOT blame the gun when you get worked over as previously stated. try to laugh it off, and have good foresight, realizing things will definately improve with time. people well make fun of you for using a pump, dont let em get to ya. make fun of yourself with them, it helps.
3. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE: self explanatory, but mainly it seems to be more and more important to learn snapshooting in speedball games. i'm assuming you already know what snapshooting is, but just in case, its BASICALLY kepping the target in your minds eye while your behind the bunker. aim at the target, pop out, fire, pop back in, dont watch the shot. the idea is your trying to get off an accurate shot with as much speed as possible so that the opponent cant get you.
4. as for barrels and accuracy: you might want to get detent rings if you dont already have them. call Mike up, they're like $6 i tihnk, and the keep small paint from rolling out. i can explain it more if you like. ALSO, check out the J&J Edge kit. its pretty cheap(around $100) and has multiple backs for different bore sizes. comes in a variaty of colors. USE HIGH QUALITY PAINT! you're definately going to be saving money on paint, so you might as well buy the good stuff.
5. random other stuff: use the crossman twelve grams as opposed to the brass eagle ones(known for improper seals causing leaks). MOVE ALOT! COMMUNICATE ALOT(loudly)! TEAMWORK is KEY.
hehe ok im done now...I'm glad you chose a pump, eventually you will be a better player, and you're going to save a ton of money on paint.
Good luck,
Jig
P.S. spell checker has expired apparently, so i apologize for my lacking spelling. oh, and i use commas imporperly all the time..sorry..:o
