          if you are worried about hooper hits check ou the ricochet loader for the A5s. I know a guy in the local scene that rocks an A5 he is no the fastest shooter but he does well in his game.

              Get a long drop and a short barrel. Tippmanns are great guns, just way to long of a gun for speedball.

                    Then why do most all of the players in professional paintball footage have long guns? I like my gun long and strong...

                    back on subject,
                    used bko with eyes 200-250?
                    used 3000 nitro tank 50-100
                    hopper egg(ewww) or halo. 60 for used egg, 80-90 for used halo.

                    OR you could wait until you find a new job.

                      I higly reccommend you save up your money for a nice gun that you really want. Remember, good things come to those who wait

                        my father said that, and i did it, and now i have this awesome warpedmag rt z grip blah blah blah life story...

                        so wait for a while. And if you want a speedball semi auto gun, get a mag, best smi out there (as far as i am concerned, more reliable and less needy than a cocker) and there is an unlimited amunt of ups you can get, and then there is here, a whole sight deticated to it where people like me help poeple like you.

                          Great advice.

                          Only get a different gun if YOU want it. Any gun can be used for speedball IMO

                              The long barreled guns you're seeing in the tourny footage are used for bending an inflatable around your marker, thereby making you much harder to hit while you can shoot since you're tucked in so tight.
