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

[Acer12]

Black Maxx only cost me $50 bucks.
really low end gun but it worked fine.

Next was a J.T. Excellarator 3.0

It sucked

Then came the J.t. Excellarator 6.0

worked fine for what i paid. shot well only real problem was the barrel.

after that i baught a used black magic. the guy that sold it to sent it to me w/ a broken inline reg. i had paid $500 dollars for it. Once i fixed it, it shot great. i loved that gun.

after that i baught an e-blade and an aim 21 eagle body. put it together and it F***en rips still have it and i love. its damn sexy.

1st - no-rise, chrome omega rail, retro valve, intelli mag; Very nice for a first gun, decently fast and never chopped

2nd - ule bodied, 1.37 emag; very nice first electro, just didnt like the hump back frame

3rd - ule bodied, x valved, omega railed, intelied mag; so far my favorite marker, very light and fast enough for recball. I wish i would have never traded it

4th - viking, never worked quite right, so i never had a good chance to use it

5th - extreme depot bodied, rogue rail, hyper framed, ult'd, x valved mag with q-loader; very very nice marker, didnt like the hyper frame that much

6th - ule bodied, rogue railed, logic vert framed, ult'd x-valved mag; Super fast mech, nearly walkable and very consistant. Sold it to buy a computer.

7th - "in progress", now that i have the computer, i am building another one just like the 3rd one, but with ULT, should be sweet

[Linkwarner]

sorry no pics on most of the guns.

Brass Eagle Talon (1st gen)
YEah, everybody loves the Talon, I loved the Talon, It shot after you pumped, and pulled the trigger, hopefully. But I wanted to know how it worked, and you can guess where this lead to.

Brass Eagle Stingray II
Ok, now upgraded to semi, I loved the trigger frame on the marker when I got it, it made your hands feel like they are in heaven, then you raise your new marker for the first time up to your shoulder, full 9oz tank and full 45 round hopper (I was too poor to afford a new hopper after I bought the gun), and squeeze, and squeeze more on the trigger, and then what seemed like an Ak-47 going off right next to your head, "RING" went my ear drums, but still that was my first real game of paintball.

32* Rebel
not much to say about this gun, uh, it was blue and had a screw off barrel?

Kingman Spyder 2000
Now I am moving on up in the paintball world, this gun just rocked. M16 grip frame felt just right. A really cool rear cocking bolt that made it so you wouldn't smack your mask if you got in close. But I still wanted better....

Air Gun Designs Automag 68 classic
all I have to say is that mags are the best and most realiable guns to date. Just kept it oiled and it was good to go. didnt like have a single trigger very much, so I just hacked it off, and slipped on a double trigger, and went out to the field and just rocked my own little world, but everyone else invaded my own little world with there Angels. not much more to be said about that day.

well that is about it.

[XbeasleyX]

Definate gun whore...

Icon Z - it worked , all I can really say.
B2K4 - no DM4 but no quadruple digit price either. Hasn't failed me, only problem was blow- back that caused chops which I fixed with a Vapor bolt. I'd sugest this gun to anyone who can't buy a $1000+ marker.

yup I'm a real gun whore.

[FallNAngel]

1. PMI Pirhana - One of their older models that my friend let me use the first time or two I went out to play. Technically, it wasn't a gun I've owned, but it was the first marker I played with, so I figured I'd mention it. Wasn't a bad first marker. Sometimes it chopped or didn't feed right, but what should I expect? Had some kick to it, but it wasn't a big deal with way. After playing once I believe, I was hooked on paintball. Having shot his autococker, I wanted one for myself. Just seemed way smoother, so the search began and I ended up with:

2. 2000 WGP CF Autococker - This was a pretty good gun for the price I paid and what it came with. At least at the time (several years ago): 550 for Redz pack, JT Flex Mask, 114/3000 tank (was advertised as a 4500 ), Palmer Stabilizer, ANS Quickpull, KAPP Frontblock, CP Barrel, WGP Hinge trigger and I believe a revvy. Shot great and was later upgraded with 2 different hinge triggers (Shocktech, then later a KAPP (hands down the best mech trigger I've tried)), bolts, barrel system (Scepter), etc. Of course, later I decided I wanted to shoot a bit faster, easier and reliable, so I got a Worrblade

3. Worrblade grip - I'm listing this as another marker as it changes the marker quite a bit. Timing was much easier and was much easier to shoot fast with. Unfortunately, ran into a few problems (binding sear for instance), which turned me a bit away from it. Eventually, I sold the Worrblade frame for very close to what I paid for it.

4. Around the same time as #2, my fiance started playing paintball. She decided she wanted an Autococker as well. The one she picked online was a RF '99 that also came with a barrel and Nitroduck pre-megareg adjustable tank. This thing was the spawn of satan, and she'll agree. First the ram was busted... which my friend replaced (THANK YOU!). No matter how much we tried, we couldn't get the thing to pinch paint (which is extremely helpful when using cockers); it would just slice the paint. Was also rather difficult to stop the lug from slipping as well. The tank eventually broke down twice, and after being repaired was sold for a MaxFlo. Seeing as how well her cocker was doing, we sold it along with the 114 tank I got

5. Using the money from #4, I bought her a 2k Dark Angel my friend had for sale. Much easier operation for her. Turn on, safety off, and pull the trigger. No more having to worry about timing (which I didn't mind with my cocker) or half-stroking. Just pull and it'll try to fire, every time. After setting the MROF down enough for her Revvy and Evo2, she was off to the races with no problem....well, not much. Her MaxFlo had a problem as it wasn't recharging fast enough. Turns out somehow a piece of shell got in around one of the springs. The reason we got it in the first place was so we could rebuild it if we needed to... after seeing the problems it had and reading how often you'd likely have to rebuild it, I bought a 88/4500 Hyperflow. No problems... until the feedneck broke. At first we thought the body threads were stripped... later we found out it was the feedneck itself. By then, we had already bought

6. A 2k1 Dark Angel for her. Got a clamping feedneck for this one which solved the problem of the feedneck coming out. Paid way more than I should've for it, but it's what she wanted and we're finally done. After putting on a clamping feedneck on #5, we sold it along with the MaxFlo. So far, she hasn't had a problem with the 2k1 Dark Angel and having added a JAM bolt and Halo, rarely chops and is plenty fast.

7. Somewhere around #5, I got rather sick of my Worrblade. I couldn't stop it from bouncing and knowing I had problems with it before, just turned me off of it. Although the reflective eye never gave me a problem, it was sometimes something that made me think "Am I going to have problems with this?" So, I sold it getting much of my money back (thank god).

8. Having saved up a bit, I finally decided on my next marker. A MacDev Cyborg. Fast, efficient, light, and small. Not overpriced either. Was a tough choice between this and a Matrix, but I just liked the idea of this marker better. I like being able to see the bolt moving back and forth... something just uneasy to me about only knowing my marker is working right by the paint coming out of the barrel. Only have a few minor problems with it but what marker doesn't? All around a great marker.

9. Somewhere in there, around #5, I had bought a pile of parts from someone on PBN. FBM cocker body, Evo2, Shocktech frontblock, etc. After putting it all together with other stuff I had laying around and buying a part or two, I had a working 2k compatible cocker ready. It was all just for resale though... never got a chance to even sweetspot it.

Umm..gun whore? lol

[CrimsonGhost]

Galaxy glass

[P8ntBallBoom]

How can you....remember them all?!?!?!

[canemaster]

TopSecret and Eatem Alive have the most exspensive batch

[afultz075]

1. Spyder TL Plus - First gun, didn't have it for long, it was your average spyder, 'nuff said

2. SL-68 II - This thing was a blast even though I sucked with it, pretty accurate and rock solid

3. Pro-Carbine - I upgraded this a bit, it was fun, and very accurate with a Lapco barrel.

4. PGP - cute gun, I just didn't have to time to play stock, i'll try again one day

5. Minimag - my first venture into higher-end guns. I LOVED this thing. I put a 10in. Ultralite and used Nitro on it and it performed great, very tiny as well, I shot at least 10k rounds out of this and not a single chop in a game with the lvl7. I sold this two weeks ago to one of my best friends, he's happy with it as well.

6. RT ULE - I built this thing out of scratch. It's getting tuned by Tuna right now as well as getting a RogueRail but I probably won't have it long because of my emag, I just felt a need to complete it after hunting down all the parts.

7. ULE-Bodied Emag - I'm getting this tomorrow, I can't wait!

[ghideon]

Tippmann 98 - Bought when I got back into the sport again. I had set up very nice, 20oz anti siphon, Palmer's Stab, Lapco Barrel, nice drop, RT trigger kit. It would pinch paint and it got about 1500 shots off of 20oz fill. Still have it, but have since parted it out (the Palmer Stab I kept, see below). Great starting gun. Chopped one ball in a year's worth of play.

AGD E-Mag - Bought used off eBay almost two years ago. Came with a barrel and Level 10, for $600. Aside from the ground screw having too much anno on it, causing issues (prolly why it was sold, but it was a 5 second fix) I have never had a problem with it that was not caused by me doing something stoopid. My primary marker. Every now and then some kid thinks it's an old Shocker, and we have a little lesson. Every time I play with it I get a little faster with it.

CCI Phantom VSC - This is what you bust out when you know you're feeling dangerous. Last time I played with it I was snap shooting back and forth with a guy who had an E bladed cocker. He got lucky, cause I hit him in the crotch but it bounced (he was fine). On the next exchange, I got him in the leg. The only downside is I have to answer more stupid questions from the kiddies. No, this is not a scope. It's just a red dot sight. No, my stock feed tube is not a scope, either. No, there is no hopper on this. Excellent gun, especially considering the price, and all the little parts you can get for it to re-configure it. I run it off 12grams and a 4oz bottle of CO2 (using the Stab w/the bottle).

AGD RT ULE/ULT w/Y Grip - Picked this up maybe three months ago as a backup/loaner gun. Everytime I use this marker there is something about that makes me feel like I'm invinicble. I play more aggressively with this marker than I do with my E-Mag. Not that I don't try to lay down paint with this guy. I can outshoot the Richochet AK with it, and sometimes I can outshoot the HALO TSA. Another excellent gun. I love to show off the mechanical trigger to people.

[Snapps]

Spyder Shutter: it shot fine, it was your average typical low end gun

2k1 Impulse: Was my first "nice" gun, shot fast, added some upgrades, then made the mistake of grabbing a HALO A....that thing was crud, and made my impulse crud so I sold both to build a AIM bodied c0cker

Custom AIM C0cker: this was supposed to be my dream mech gun, however i soon tired of the project and sold it off to get...

Xmilled B2k2: Wow this was nice, was light, fast, y, it had it all (i dont know how so many people over look it and grab a impy) Sold it to get...

Custom Raced y C0cker: ugh...this was a mess, came to me in pieces, never had the will to put it together, traded it off imediately...

2k2 Impulse: never shot it, traded it off for

2k2 Custom Anno'd Orange BM: still havent received this gun, the person has a name of Cooksey on AIR-Powered.com, i say we beat him up since it has been 2 months since i have sent out the Imp

2k1 Raced STO: In the mean time I bought another raced c0cker, this time it worked alright, but not my cup of tea

2k C&C Angel: traded for this a week ago, waiting for it to show up, planning on selling this for another gun

And my journey continues...

[G3PB]

Oh geez.....Bushmaster Pump, Tippmann SMG-60, and how many of you guys have ever seen a Lapco AutoSpirit...the gun, not the barrel? These were the olden days. There is no way I can remember how many guns I've gone through over the years. What I can say is that I still have my old Lapco Gray Ghost pump, and I still have what's left of my first Mag from around '93 or '94...although the only original part would be the PF body. Oh yeah, I still have my Eclipse Angel. I picked it up a few days ago and the battery is still up on it; hasn't had a charger on it in over 4 years.

[slasherdan]
