Lookin for a rec gun

[bratch]

I'm an old timer who hasn't been around in a long time. I've played alot of tourneys and had most of the top end guns.

Saying all that I was talking to a buddy from high school tonight who said some of the guys we graduated with are playing renegade ball every weekend. They have a few Tippman 98s and another gun thats about the same caliber. They also have a Co2 fill station.

That being said I've been gone so long that I don't know whats out there anymore. What are the nice "rec" markers on the market today? It needs to run on Co2.

If you decide on a A5 or 98c, I have a small collection I am selling off and I'll make you a nice deal with accesories.

I'd recommend getting in contact with Tunaman and getting a nice classic mag.

For a mechanical, Mags are just about the best around.

[trains are bad]

If you are to be running CO2 I would not reccomend a mag of any flavor. A tippmann would be fine, but for something nicer I would reccomend a nice mech cocker. Also, make sure to check out the new SP ION.

For the Budget oriented Joe who's looking for a high Firepower:Cost ratio there aren't many that can beat the Spyder Imagine or other inexpensive eSpyder. Tippmann's the way to go for those with a slightly more robust budget, either M98C or A-5, or one who simply doesn't want an eFramed sear tripper. There's the tried and true Phantom as well on the shadey side of <$200. The Ion is out there now for around $285, similarly with the Diablo Wrath. Used Cockers are generally pretty cheap, there's the WGP Trillogy serrier cockers now which go from I believe $130 to $225 from base model to fully upped model. There are a lot of options out there for less than $300, and the cost of "Tourney Grade" starts to get thick around $500 on up to how much your Platinum card can support.

Reader's Digest: Spyder, eSpyder, Tippmann M98C, WGP Trillogy, Phantom, Tippmann A-5, WGP Autococker, Ion/Wrath.

I say for rec and running off co2 get a tippmann 98c. Yesterday I went out and played with a rental 98c* in the rain and it got soaked. Worked perfectly! 'Course, I bet mags can do the same thing, but not on CO2.

Tippmann 98 Custom!

*I was playing with a rental because my mag's on/off pin snapped and I need to get it fixed

ive been running a mag on co2 for many years now, never given me any trouble(bought the valve 7 years ago and havent rebuilt it/ had any trouble). there are a couple tricks with braided steel hose you can do that pretty much eliminates the need for even anti siphon.. if youll make a loop extending above the body(above the inlet....taller the better) it will keep enough liquid out of the gun to not cause issues(mostly). i would personaly want a good classic mag, with an antisiphon co2 tank and a good hosing setup for recbal(hey wait....i do have one). nice reliable gun, good rof and plenty of upgrade potential(enough for me anyways). Might also look into pimping a rainmaker out if you want something e-grip, but kinda unique

If you need to run CO2, I'd go with a Tippmann A-5 (like the 98 but better... plus you'll never need to buy a hopper for it) or use a cocker with anti-syphon.

if i were you and were just screwing around and playing recball every weekend, i would get an A-5, if yu are in the woods, otherwise get a cocker, if you decide to really get into it, you can get an eblade kit later, or gt a mag, buthay work beter on nitro.

Why is everyone all about the 98c? If I were you, I'd look into a Prolite.

if you deside to get a timpman, go prolite ,it has proven it self overtime

[mobius]

One way or the other, Tipmanns are great recball markers.

Thanks guy. I actually have an old Dye Cocker lying around my house somewhere in pieces but thought it might be a little excessive for playing with some buddies at someones house.

I'll have to search around and see what I can come up with.

I don't think they ahve been made for awhile. If you can find one make sure hammer isn't rusty.
