AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I am getting ready to get a eletric gun.....i dont really know how they work so if u have any tips on them tell me plz....i am thinking of getting a e-force gti
First, you need to figure out your style of play. If you are heavy into tournaments, get a DM4,5,6,C or a Shocker. If you play the ocassional local tourney, get yourself an Eblade cocker or an Ion or the like.
Recreational speedball, the plethora of E Spyders or the Piranha you mentioned. Or a used Emag.
Second, you need to look at how skilled in repairs you are with these guns.
These are just some of the things one should consider before buying an E gun. Really, the first question should be:"Do I need an Egun?"
If you are looking at a Piranha I would recommend stepping up to the Evo - break beam eyes are a great addition and well worth the money. I do not beleive they came on the E-force.

If he was heavy into tournements, he'd know everything you just said.
All you need to know is that everyone of the E-guns you see, will as fast as you pull the trigger.
Most require HPA systems and relatively little to maintenance, depending on how hard you abuse them.

you really have to get an electro REALLY wet to actually break it, 98% of the time, the mechanics of the marker fail in water before the electronic parts. I have played tournaments in downright downpours, and the water, mud, ect, jammed up alot of markers, but, there were 0 reports of any fried electronics or anything of the sort at all.

sooo no taking it in the hot tub with you! Wayyyy off topic has anyone else played with pb markers in a pool? not with paint, but fill the barrel up with water then blast someone in the back....
on a much more serious note, i would NOT buy any "upgrades" for a long time, or until you have identified a specific problem you know to exist that routine maintaince will not fix. Lots of kiddies get suckered into hundreds of dollars of upgrades just to get the same performance they had out of the box. I know i was once upgrade crazy myself!!!
Tom was the last of a now extinct breed, a breed of players who build a community, a breed of owners who gave to the sport never taking more than what they deserved. I hope to see you at the feild again some day....

i've submerged my mag and shot it afterwards.. but not when the barrel was filled with water.. that would be some funny stuff!
also.. don't get a crappy new electro.. get a decent used electro. i just picked up a barely used wrath for $150. you can get a basically new and possibly even uppd ion or wrath for super cheap in bst.

yeah, if your willing to buy used, thats absolutley a better route, you can pick up a used DM3 for ~$250 which will perform as well as any top of the line marker.
If you want an e gun ions are a decent option. They are cheap and can fire relatively fast. They are the most common gun that I see around (other than Intimidators). However they are very ugly since they are mostly plastic (why they are cheap).

This will be like the 100,893,453rd time it has been said. The Ion is not mostly plastic, it has a plastic outer shell...
