What to do..

[Felsin]

I am more that a bit confused about where to go with my paintball marker purchase. For a week or so I have been looking at mags and had decided on a decked out mech mag untill recently when people told me I cant really enter any tournys with a mech mag. So once and for all I would like people to post any reasonable priced electro marker (500-700) that they feel is the best for my money and tournament lvl. Or If anyone would like to explain why a mech mag isnt tournament ready I would gladly listen to that also. Thanks

you can enter ANY tourney you want with a mech mag as long as your not bouncing like a mad man.

Likw Couponqueen said, just don't bounce it. Hell, I think its not worth it to bounce anyway.


But, if your still not sure I would pick up a BKO with PDS or buy a used Angel. Or, maybe, a cocker. I think that they are to much of a pain though, more time fixing then playing.


Its basically Speed=BKO or Angel, maybe cocker. Accuracy=Cocker, maybe mag. Simplicity and reliability=Can never beat a mag at that.

So you peeps dont feel that I will be at that much of a disadvantage using a mech mag in a tourny as long as its set up well? I really want a mag just because I love simplicity and reliability I just fear noone will ever let me on their teams or want to be on my team in tournys.

interested in a bushy with pds? roomate is selling one with ups :P

[Felsin]

thanks but im not yet at the point of purchasing one. Im still saving up my paychecks while I wait for my shoulder surgery to be complete.

look into the used market of used trixes and like 2k2 timmies. ive seen great deals on both of them.

I'd recommend a Viking, super reliable, and rip hardcore, I own two of them, so I know

You can pick up older un-ACEd Vikings for about $550-600 now, and can find WAS/ACEd Vikings for about $700, sometimes a little lower. These are prices for 03's and below, the 04's are a good bit more expensive.

I looked into bko's with pds and they sound pretty good outa the box. Sound like the need a new reg and a bolt and they are set. Do they perform at tourny lvl?

[gc82000]

Tourny level is the level of the player not the gun. look at Tippman Effect and Spyder factory. They are pro teams that use entry level guns. It really is the player and not the gun.

I actually had a guy come to our 3man with an RT ULE, I checked it for excessive bounce (had none) and made sure he chronoed the right way... I felt special knowing how to do it right

Don't worry about it, unless it was bouncing like my gun, you should have no problem, mine was bouncing at 17-18bps constantly

[Phobos]

buy an impluse for ebay. I love misspelled auctions!
You might be able to get an Emag for that kind of money on ebay or in the clearence section of Actionvilage.

Teammate is selling a E-orracle wiht nexus kit and other ups for 6-7 if your interested, and honestly, if you wanted to play for my team, you better be able to hit 15bps, or have DANG good skill to make up for it

[C_22]

For that cash, I'd look for a used Matrix (which wont let you down) or a bushy which is also a great+smart choice.

[Felsin]

if I got a 2004 bko with vapor valve, vapor bolt(maybe), AKA Sidewinder,micro rock lpr, and a AKA mitey max then would I need to get pds on it? Also would i need a chaos board or would it already rip enough. Thanks
