What guns have YOU owned, and how well did they perform?

[Digits]

Like the title says.. Post up about the guns you've owned and give a short little review..

I'll start I guess..

Well you could of probablly guess, this was my first gun.. And ermm.. Well it performed like most first guns would.. It shot, and shot rather crappy.. Heavy trigger, crappy accuracy, you know. Atleast it was made out of metal though lol.. But basically it shot just like any other blowback would.. Probablly a little less good though.. I remember sticking my finger in the feedneck when it wasn't aired up, just cocked.. And it hurt.. Alot..

Conclusion: Don't buy this gun, it was probablly the biggest waste of money I have ever spent in paintball.. I tried taking it back to Canadian tire, but they wouldn't let me lol.

P/F Hopper left Mag

This was my second gun.. I was really interested in mags at the time, and I found this puppy lol.. I don't think I even played a game with it with the stock frame, the gun shot, but I quickly updated this beast with an intelli, and level 10, and it actually came out looking quite good:




Now I got the lvl 10 and everything set up very nicely on this gun, and it actually shot quite well.. This is the gun I used at my first tourny.. Unfortunatlly there were 2 experienced teams (1 nov, 1 rookie) at this tourny, and it didn't hold up well against the electros.. I think I maybe got 3 eliminations the whole tourny.. It was still fun though, for a first alteast.. I still remember being deathly afraid hiding behind the laydown can.. Overall though, this gun shot pretty well for what it was I kind of miss it to be honest, would of made a good backup.


Ok, thats all I will do for now, I have a few more to go threw so ya lol.

Pimped out Hypermag
Pic:


Wow.. Where to begin.. When I first got this gun it came as a ULE RTP (I had a hyperframe, and I bought it as an upgrade).. Now the gun with the stock frame was pretty good, even being a single trigger, it still shot nice and smooth.. But when I slapped the hyperframe on this puppy all hell went loose.. This thing sucked for me, I could not get the hyperframe to work properly on this mag.. I think I went 1 day of play where the gun shot good the whole time, but after that it just wouldn't.. I like mags and all, but i'm not a fan of hyperframes after this.

[MagManULE]

Well my first gun that I ever owned was a spyder tl I bought new at the store I was working at. I used it for about 6 months before I bought my 68 classic standard feed mag. That thing was so old it came with the original co2 only reg piston and wouldnt work with compressed air until i bought a new hybrid piston. I put a dye 45 frame, dye trigger, and reactor on/off in it and played with that for about a year. Then I got my cocker and built a palmers front block, put in the aka tornado valve and aka bolt, the belsales roller sear and lightened up the trigger, I outshot my revvy all the time but never broke thanks to my low recock. Now I shoot my home made gz timmy with the lcd clamshell, frenzy board, cp volumizer, cp trigger, shocktech bolt and mini rail, cp ram cap and lapco clamping feed neck with a ripped halo with the victory, I love this gun.

[Steelrat]

VM 68-Good gun for its time, its a dinosaur now.

Stock emag-Heavy and slow, but I didnt know exactly how to set it up when I owned it.

2k3 viking-Good gun when I got it (w/o eyes) was TRANSFORMED when I put eyes on it. Absolutely fantastic gun, never chopped, hyper efficient, didnt break. Pefect.

Freeflow ebladed lotus-Good gun, very fast, though like all cockers it occasionally did something wierd for no discernable reason. Was also quiet and efficient

Pewter Xmag-Good gun, nothing fantastic, though the X is the best looking gun out there. Slower than the viking, and a lot less efficient.

2k4 viking-Horrible chopping issues with the new detent system and small paint. Was resolved with the AKA modded bolt. Fast, effiicient, smaller than the 2k3. Another perfect gun.

Freeflow rhythm-was here and gone so fast I didnt form an opinion

ULE'd emag-Fast and light, very sharp looking, but there was a local player who liked it and wanted it, and I was never a gigantic mag fan, though I respect their design.

Green X-mag-Meh, same as the pewter, stunning looks, okay performance. Came and left quickly.

2k4 excalibur-Great gun, but i never got the trigger set up right.

2k4 bonebrake excal-Best gun I have ever owned. Not quite as fast as the vikings, but plenty fast, very efficient, and smooooooth. Also small and light. Fantastic gun, cant say enough.

2k4 featherlite viking-came and left quickly.

Shark Attack X-mag-easily the most beautiful gun I have ever seen, and very fast, but still not my bag.


And the saga continues...

Post pics if ya have them

2k3 BKO - Didn't really like this gun, a friend has one and has nothing but problems.. I sold mine before I ever played with it though.. It seemed to shoot fast, but just didn't seem like a solid marker..

Pic: N/A

E-Cocker
Pic:


This was the first gun I got that was solid and could actually rip.. The one thing I really didn't like about this gun was that it always had bounce, no matter what.. But the gun never broke down on my when I owned it, hell it didn't even come close.. I personally wasn't feeling the e-cocker thing, I liked the gun when I had it, but as soon as I shot my friends trix, I knew I had to have one.. So if e-cockers are your cup of tea then you might like them.. They personally arn't my fav though..

Nasty X Shocker
Pic:


This was an alright gun when I bought it, it ripped hardcore once I flipped the microswitch and adjusted the trigger.. But still it wasn't my cup of tea.. The gun was fast as all hell.. But after using a friends trix for a tournament, I came to realise that it wasn't what I wanted.. I loved how smooth the trix was, and the shocker just wasn't doing that for me.. Besides.. When I used it at the tournament I had nothing but barrel breaks, and I ended up using another friends trix in the end anywayes.. If your into small guns, this might be your thing, but for me personally.. I didn't like it that much.. It was fast.. But thats all it was to me.

Post pics if ya have them

Yeah right, SteelRat never has a gun long enough to take pics :rofl:

[WickeDKlowN]

Tiger Shark - Cool at the time, but eventually learned it wasa big pile of crap.
Raptop Silver Eagle - Again, cool at the time. I think I still have it somewhere...
Mag - This mag took many forms. It went from a SF HR 68 Classic I got from PBGear to a Micromag to a PF HL 68 Classic to a warped Mini-Mag. All of it's forms were great, but I miss it as a Micromag the most. Now my friend has it(I think) and as far as I know it's still a warped Minimag
Mini-Cocker - Bought it off PBN, was a great gun just not my thing. Sold it and moved on.
Tribal Fluster - Bought it in peices, assembeled it and sold it. Never got to shoot it
Rare Unmilled Tribal Mephisto - Came fairly tricked out, so I parted out most of it to do some crazy stuff to it(I like to mess with guns, but not to the point where I really screw them up like cockers). Ended up needing cash and sold the peices I had left.
'99 Cocker - Shoulda learned with the 1st Cocker. They're just not my thing. I traded it for my old MiniMag then eventually traded back when I stopped playing and didn't really care(regretting it now).
Another Rare Unmilled Tribal Mephisto - On the way... but this one is completley stock so I can have some fun with it

Tri-Fade NYX
Pic:


This is by far the best gun I have owned to date.. It was everything I was looking for in a marker.. Fast, Smooth as all thats holy.. It's just.. A great gun, I would recommend a matrix to anyone.

[magman007]

Well from the top...

Spyder shutter- My first marker, and it was a trooper, it performed very well, even compared to the other markers ive had

Classic mag- Performed great, i loved it, but i soon sold it for a..

rt pro. I loved this marker, it was amazing, and im still considering getting another, because i miss my old one so much

Kapp cocker- the kapp cocker, i never owned long enough to try out, so i traded it for a

Emag! the emag was a great performer. It was awesome. I loved it. I even home annoed it, to make it my own.

i sold the e-mag for 450 and a VSC phantom to get...

THE SFL E_MAG!. i loved this thing the most, it performed alot like the e-mag, but i loved it more, it was a SFL, you gotta love it

The VSC was a solid performer as well, and i went balling numerous times with it here in chile, because of the high paint prices

Sold the vsc, and bought a sydarm

The sydarm was really uber cool, i really liked it, it performed well, but after about 3 months, it lost its appeal, even tho i kept holding onto it.

Sold the sfl to edwierd, and bought a Toxic Trix, this was my baby, my best performer, till the gun i have now. It outshone the mags by far, and i hate to say it, i love mags, but i felt it was a better gun.

Traded the toxic for an angel speed. Why i dont know. I liked it, fast, easy to shoot, but i couldnt rip on it like the toxic. So io decided to get me some money, and buy a dm4.

I sold my sydarm, sold the speed, and bought a dm4.

I AM INLOVE with this thing,FAST, LIGHT ON BALLS. ACE!! It rocks my world. I reccomend one to everyone

[O_o]

Ok, i'm bored so heck why not.


AH yes, good ol m98, tough as a rock. Great gun, I had lots of fun pimpin it out, always worked great but eventually had the nacking to move up


Cocker was a lot of fun also, leanred a lot about the workings and pneumatics.


Another higher end cocker, the pneumatics were better so it was smoother. But I tried out an electro and it felt sooo good so I had to upgrade to an electro.


Traded my cocker for this bushy + cash back when it was an ugly POS. Little bit of work, upgrade some parts and it was workin pretty sweet. Unfortunatley though it was in used condition. Great gun though, shot fast enough (at the time) and felt good.


Not really mine, but it was mine. Bought for another person who ended up backing out so it was mine for a while until I sold it. Egh, it was alright. Angels were never my cup of tea, the frame felt bulky and I didn't like the fact you had to have a special tool kit to adjust simple things like the LPR or take out the ram.


Bought this thing cheap, $350, everything in pic except bolt and clammy, had a GZ frame. Also had WAS 2.7 so it was great, shoot pretty sweet. At the time Bob Long wasn't selling any bodies separate so I traded this cuz I didn't like the look of a classic body in that fade.


The viking was great, shoot sweet and all. My dislikes, it's ugly . .. also kinda bulky. Due to the fact it didn't have eyes I wasn't able to use the full potential of the WAS board in it. Also, it was BORING ! Seriously, it never leaked or anything, i never had to take it apart to tinker with it which I like to do :P


Next up was my 2k2, again great gun, consistent, fast as heck, almost perfect. The main reason I sold it was because it was off balance with a Halo since the frame was so far back so that kinda bugged me.


Now this gun was very close to perfect. Fast, no chops, consistent, low rise (unlinke the timmy), skinny. For some reason though, it was a tad heaver than a regular b2k3. I'm also a fan of more radical milling so this wasn't all that flashy. Sold this since I hear there's going to be 04 venoms . .


Picked this sucker off cheap ($550). Well, it looks freakin sweet as hell, but performance and feel was different. Didn't like that fat trigger, pretty heavy, and didn't shoot so good/fast. I can say though it was probably due to the fact the pneumatics sucked. I had to have the CON at 60 just be able to load balls in with a Halo.


Now THIS was the perfect gun. Looks great, feels great, shoots hella smooth and fast, chop proof (did a gravity loader test). A lot more balanced with a Halo than the regular timmys, it's also very light. But you know what . .. I can't afford to play after spending my money on this :rofl:

Comming soon . . . gloss black BoneBrake F-series Bushy

[68automagpwnr]

First gun i had was a tigershark, i mostly just shot it around my yard, never knew anybody who wanted to play. Shot pretty well. One day i took it apart and had to burrow my friends shark to put it back together, my friend forgot about it and so it became mine.

I traded one of the sharks for my friends samurai, boy was that thing the biggest piece of crap i have ever seen. It started out ok, but it then turned into a pump and it would chop like crazy. NEVER BUY THIS GUN unless you like messing with guns and trying to mod them.

My next gun was a Tippmann 98. I bought it off ebay for 68.00 shipped with a 16oz tank (VERY NICE DEAL). It shot really well but i never played any serious games with it. My Neighbor fell in love with it and i didnt want to sell it so he ended up giving me 150.00 for it (LMAO YES!)

I used this money to buy a Black Dragun from my friend, it shot very nice, i played at a few places with it, eventually the flush cocking mechanism got so screwed up i just threw a stock spyder bolt in it and sold it on ebay for 124.00.

My friend who sold the black dragun had a broken 68 classic mag (messed up powertube) and so he sold it to me for the money sent to his paypal for the dragun. I bought it in hopes of getting an Xvalve. That was about 2 years ago.

Since the gun was broken i used my other friends spyder for awhile, i then bought it from him, it was a green camoed spyder SE, he had bought it from a shop and they had slapped a few things on it that were missing, like a spyder tl trigger frame, and a dove tail (not supposed to fit a dovetail, they ghetto did it with a small screw) I bought it for 65 bucks, that gun shot very sweet, i never chopped a ball with it i was very happy. Its for sale by the way, 50 bucks or somethin idunno, i dont really need it anymore.

1 year ago i was gonna buy an xvalve for the 68classic but i blew a ton of money for the 4th of july and was close but it didnt work. Last month i bought an Xvalve, finally! This month i bought a ULE body, Kapp grip extender, screw down feedneck, AA barrel which im gonna use that and my old spyder barrel and some money to trade my friend for his 14 inch boomstick, and i just paid for an Intelliframe but i havent heard from the guy back NICK MOUFO (MOUFO48) but hopefully thats gonna be taken care of soon! The gun is black and silver alternating, the only thing i will have left to buy is a silver angel ball detent and im good, only real problem is the silvers arent all the same shade so it looks funny. BUT ANYWAYS, it shoots very nicely, i already waste a bit more paint than usual and the air tank my friend let me use was hardly reactive at all.

[C_22]

Wow... let's see....

My first marker was a SL 68 II pump and a Sheridan PGP. I got both on a sweet deal used. I sold the SL 68 II to a field owner and got a KP3 and a PGP by Sheridan instead. I still own both guns and they are still in working order.

Then I moved up and got me a VM68 by Sheridan, which was a great gun. So good I used it for three years straight in woodsball. By the time I purchsed my seocnd VM68 things had changed and new faces were about so I sold the VM68 and purchased...

... a 68 AutoMag classic. Oh and I also changed form Co2 to CA. That Mag never ver gave me any issues and I used it for three years. I still remeber Tom in the video it came with (VHS) and well, he has changed a bit

By then I left the bush and entered the world of speedball and the purchase of my first electro: A 2000 Angel LCD - not bad for a first electro, eh? -

I had that Angel for about a year and a half and again, it never broke on me. All I can say about Angels is that they are very well built solid guns. Overhyped? Overated? Overpriced? I don't care, the Angel is and will allways be the Angel.

From the Angel I went into a Trix... a KAPP Flame Trix. I liked it but not as much as my Angel. Since by that time I was on the order list for an X-Mag, I sold the Trix.

My first X-Mag came short after selling my Trix. It was a 2.4 Blue/Silver fade X-Mag. A buddy of mine who is an AGD dealer like my X-Mag so he offered me to trade him my blue/silver X-Mag for a gloss black 3.2 X-Mag. I accepted the offer. I still own that black X-Mag. I changed the battery pack for an old E-Mag plain battery pack and installed an Angel ball detent for looks. I like the simpleness of the design on the X-Mag and all the scratches it has acquired make it look dead sexy - for me at least -.

Soon after I made the mistake of buying a Black texas Storm Intimidator. All I can say about that gun is that there was never a game I played with that gun that it did not chop paint. The cursed thing was a paint blender. I sold it and have a bad opinion of Timmys.

With the Timmy gun I was going to buy a new gun: Eighter a DM4 (damn hype) or an A4 Fly (afterall, I came back to AGD products, why not try WDP products as well?). But, fact is I bought neighter. In a tourney in Monterrey I came up with a guy from Tijuana who was selling his Trix... an Ironmen Trix. In damn good shape. Bought it and equipped it. That Trix is fast, doe snot give me any problems of any kind, easy and fun to maintain (really) and it has broken about 3 paintballs in... 10 cases?

Now I've come to the point where unless it's a life or death situation (eve then I'll have serious toughts since I'm like a damn Fenician and want to be burried with one of my markers), I'm not planning on selling any of my current guns. Not only are neighter of those manufactured anymore and thus total classics, but I'm very attached to both. Yet, if I were to get a new gun someday my money would most surely be... nah, I change my mindo to quick.

G'day!

[Crighton]

KP3 first gun. Great pump, simply as can be, never failed, but it was a heavy beast. Sold it for a pmi-3 when I decided I needed to go semi. (doh!)

Pmi-3. Serious tank of a marker. Worked flawlessly for 3 years till I broke the seal between the asa and body. Sent back for repair as an empt reciever housing pre paid. Returned as a complete marker. Sold it to make some cash on the extra parts.

VM-68. Another super heavy beast. Still own this one. Never had a single issue with it.

Brass Eagle Poison. All I can say about this thing is what a pile. Broke constantly, leaked, ect ect. Sold it for an f-1 illistrator

f-1, light, fast for the time, had a couple issues with it after 2 years. The bolt hammer connector pin broke at least 3 times, And the reciever housing near the cocking handle started to mushroom out. Sold to a buddy.

First year cocker, Good lord was this thing a finicky POS. Constantly fiddling with it just to get it working decent for a day. Sold it because I was sick of messing with it.

Tracer, Simple and cheap pump. Worked great as a loaner for a couple years. Eventually sold to a buddy who still has it.

Talon, What can I say I bought it for the 50 round hopper . Sold it for 20 bucks on ebay.

Rapide, Fun gun, never leaked but the trigger pull was ultra heavy. Sold it because I couldn't hit a barn door with it past 30 feet.

Tippman carbine, Worked like you'd expect a tippman to work. Never had an issue with it. Sold it when I needed cash.

2x P68-at's. Decent pumps, the pump handles broke right where the auto trigger connected. The tinny o-rings from the asa to valve chamber were a pain in the butt. Sold the pair after restoring one.

Minimag. No serious issues with this. Slapped an omega rail on it, through the entire marker into a fit. Ended up using a milled classic rail and intelli. Still own this one.

68 classic, built from parts. Never used it before I sold it off.

Piranha e-force ext pro. Broke 3 feed necks off inside the reciever housing. Sold it after it came back from pmi for warranty work.

2001 WGP STO, bought it as a parted marker. Replaced a couple parts on it. Works fine now. Not ultra fast but I bought it as a tinker toy to begin with.

Tippmann A-5 Egripped. Works every time, I use it primarily for scenario games that allow Full auto. Only complaint would be cleaning paint out of the cyclone feed is a pain.

2k4 bushmaster, So far so good. Shoots ropes, light and consistent, I've had zero problems with it so far.

Mad customs pmi1-df. I love this thing never had an issue with it and it's never leaving my hands.
