    My trip to the shop today :-D

    I sold off my expensive gun, and after not finding anything good on the internet, I settled for calling a local shop. As luck would have it, they had a few guns on sale. I went there with the intention of picking up the cheap Piranha Evo they had, and one of 25 lightly used Minimags they have for $99 each. However, instead of picking up the 'mag, I bought a used Phantom pump from '97 for $75. It looks to be completely basic, with the fixed barrel.

    I still want to pick up a Mini though, but I figured I'd have a lot more time to get one since there are 25 of those and 1 Phantom. They also had a few old 'cockers, one basic GenX, and one really old custom 'cocker with some sick splash ano. Unfortunately, both were more than what I wanted to pay since I definately wanted the Evo.

    Anywho, happy fun yay for paintball. Me likee elder school stuff.

        Are those Minimags field rentals? Which shop? I might try to get them to ship me one. $100 for a minimag (even stock) is great!
        My feedback is available here.

          The Evo seems great so far. It's very solid and PMI did a good job with the wiring. The only problem is that it kicks a lot if you're using a light setup. You can't beat it for the price as far as blowbacks go.

          The Minimags were rentals, but not the kind that limits the velocity and what now. It's just a stoc/grey powerfeed Minimag that has seen limited use.
