    Perhaps I should go back to a mech? /slash/ gun troubles ranting

    Well, I went to play some ball Friday night, Sk8ermog was there (lucky for me). I had a lot of fun, the most fun in fact I've had for like 9 months, or however long ago July was. Except for one thing. My new Defiant had problems the whole night, ultimately ending in me ditching it to play with an extremely sweet halfblock-bladed-lava cocker loaned to me by Sk8ermog.
    My gun was chopping, randomly leaking, sometimes not shooting, inconsistant velocity, the works. not only that, it is unbalanced, and has a ugly feeling trigger.
    [Wow, great job ruining any chance of selling it ]

    I'm wondering whether it might be worth it to go back to a mech, perhaps try using a mag for once. My cocker gave me trouble, but at least half the world knows how to fix it. Regardless, I need a new gun. What I REALLY want is the trigger pull of a super high end, like that eblade, but all of those are much out of my price range. Right now I'm looking at value of the gun, plus not too much.

    Thoughts, comments?

      What about something from ICD?

      Then again I love my mags, probably why I have three?

        Yup, I've been considering an Ion. I'm not sure I'll have enough money for one though, and then there are the normal issues associated with a new product.

        Something from ICD? ICD made the defiant. :P

          If you want mech with a tourney pull, you can wait for the PTP Pneumatic trigger to come out.

                Yeah, I was thinking Freestyle. Single tube blowforward... The Defiant is just a Bushy with Cocker threads, right? I've never used one...
                I went like this :shooting:

                  mmmm, the taste of flaming at night. As was stated, made by ICD. Furthermore, when was the last time you shot a timmy?

                  Defiant Was a bushy with cocker threads, correct.
                  Freestyle? I WISH I had the money to shoot one.

                    Well, if you had about $300 for a new one, and then sold the Defiant for about $300...TADA you have $600 for a Freestyle. Is my math off?

                        you're the same kid who said cyborgs were timmy ripoffs like a week ago. I'm wondering, do you know anything about paintball guns?

                          maybe this will help persuade you a little more

                            Sure, if I had $300, and paid $300 for the defiant.
                            I paid (won't actually say) but sub $200 for it. And have actually $0 cash right now.

                              Well that puts a damper on things. You want to buy a backup MiniMag?
