Upgrading to a different gun

[black tri star]

I am at a point in my game were my skill has taken me as far as possible, but my gun is slowing me down, and some times rendering me as effective as a newbie on the field. To give you an idea, my balls bounce at 25-50 feet when runing the fps limit, the balls are inconsistent; varing from fps, range, and grouping. I have already upgraded the barrel to a 14" and the hammer spring. Should I just bite the bullet, play a few more games, and save up enough money to buy an E-mag or sell the gun and get an electronic spyder. At the moment I am leaning more towards the E-mag. What can I do to bring my gun up to my level?

It might help to know what kind of gun you have?

If it was me and i could afford an emag, there would be no choice!

Electro spyders are good, reliable intro electro markers, but they are still an electro spyder and not an emag, if you get my drift.

First of all, dont get the spyder. Second dont buy/talk to maximum paintball, they are bias agenst mags, and WAY overcharge. I would highly recomend the mag, but look at some other guns that might be in the price range there, like BKO's, Imps, Omen's Cockers and maby some angels. One of the guys i play with (plays for RIP Maximums team) is selling a Angel Speed Demon for $800 lmk if yoru intrested.

gabe, if i can call you gabe.....did you just say that a good/upgraded electro spyder and an emag are on par????? are you so full of you know what that your eyes are brown?.... if you consider a good upgraded e-spyder an intimidator... than yes,,, they're on par.... but man...spyders dont have antichop, they have about 4x the reciprocating mass... and they are milled to crap tolerances, meaning inconsistant performance.... get my drift????

It's good to hear that you are leaning towards an E-mag...rock on.Fisrt of all what is your current gun you play with?Your budget also has alot to do with your next choice of marker.If you have enough to get a E-mag then do so you'll never go wrong owning one.If your budget is not all that big ,a spyder does'nt sound all that bad ,the spyder(electro) may have more upgrades but you can't compare preformance with a elecrto spyder and a E-mag. Mags have better consistancy....Good luck on what ever marker you choose to purchase IMO the E-mag is the way to go :o

I am Running a black Maxx, i know it's a wal-mart gun, and under my current budget I can upgrade to the Emag no prob.

Get a trix.. If you can handle playing with a bit heavier gun (if you had enough for a DM4 then it wouldn't be heavier at all) then this is the gun for you..

Seriouse.. I've shot many of markers.. From shockers, to e-cockers, to BKO's, to trix's.. And absolutly nothing has compared to a trix with a pipe kit for me. Plus they are very simple guns, very reliable (or so I think, as long as you lube them I can't see you having a problem), they are wicked fast.. And I mean wicked fast, especially with that Tadoe board and eyes.. They have no kick.. There just beautifull guns ..

Except you will find yourself going threw alot more paint.. Half the time I end up borrowing a friends trix when I play, and I normally, with whatever gun I own at the time (always e) only go threw 1-2 pods and a hopper a game.. Now whenever I use the trix thats at pretty much atleast 3 pods a game..

I think your completly bias for a trix, ive shot MANY guns also, and i think FOR THE PRICE, the BKO is the way to go, 270 for the gun, $50 for a good barrel. You can run CO2 through it, and with the right barrel its going to be as accurate as any other gun out there, and stock they have 20bps capiblities. Tri star, if you have the money and can afford it, get the emag, its going to be as good as any other gun out there for the price.

a BKO is awful,

if you are looking to get into some more serious play without spending serious coin I would go with a used Emag or Angel LED, futhermore if its your only gun the emag is where its at.

Who Said The Emag And Spyder Are On Par?











........!!!!!!!!!

Go Shoot Both

[black tri star]

ok I've shot both guns i was thinking about buying, I understand how both guns work mechanically, proformance wise, but I am a back player who goes through a hopper and a pod a game, on average i rarely shot over 7 bps, i'm looking for accuracy and extreme reliability

[AGDlover]

ya look around maby you'd be better off with one of thoughs new Piranhas that have the eye and LCD screans look into one of thoughs

[tjmpaintball06]

ok 7 bps... get an evil omen, = wont chop, faster than 7, consistent velocity which equals better accuracy, upgrades starting to appear, looks cool, cheaper than emag and other crap.
