[Archangel Kid]

First: Brass Eagle Talon/F4 Illustrator

Current: none.

[Miscue]

68 Classic Automag

[WaffleBaron]

First: Spyder Aggressor XT w/ delrin ACS bolt

Current: Umm... yeah, thats it. I'm looking at some Classic Mags though.

First - Tippmann Model 98 Custom - still have this bad boy, call it the Anvil, as it's drop-dead reliable.

Second - ANS Gen-X Autococker - no, not the GX3 with all the cool milling, the pre-98 slab-sider with a slide trigger. Still a pretty damn good marker, but sold it years ago.

Third - CCI Phantom VSC - never really got to play with this one a lot before I had to turn around and sell it off to pay the electric bill or something. Want another one at some point.

Fourth - Tribal BBT 2.2 - My first Tribal. What a marker, had almost all of the (at the time) available upgrades, and this bad mamma jamma flung ropes of paint. Sold it to a friend to get him onto the field more. Didn't work out due to other aspects of his life, so I'm probably going to buy it back at some point.

Fifth - Tribal BBT 2.0 - Surrogate for the original Tribal, part of a new project, the Tribal Work Horse Collection.

Sixth - Tribal Twister 2.0 - basis for my ultimate Tribal Makeover, Project Pepper.

Seventh and Eighth - Tippmann ProLites. Backup markers, got both of 'em for $50 total, and resurrected 'em for about $10 more in replacement bits.



Okay, tired of timelining this, and most of the rest of these I've gotten in a 4 month period, and I can't remember exactly in which order I picked 'em up.
Tribal Fluster 2.0, another Twister 2.0, Mephisto 2.2.
Tippmann SL-68 I and II, 68-Special, Pro-Am, 68 Carbine, Model 98 (which is being turned into a pump... no, really).
Jackal RDL 'cocker uber marker, The Doctor Project.
PMI Trracer.
You get the feeling I like Tribals and Tippmanns? Now, I don't own it, but I did buy my lovely lady a 'Mag Classic to entice her more into the sport. Yeah, it's mostly mine at the moment, but by giving her ownership of her own equipment, I'm hoping to get her more involved with it. We'll see if the experiment is a success or a failure.

Pre2k PGP.

JT Excellerator 5.0

when i was 11 (95) my dad was on a league and i begged him to let me play. after a month of mowing the lawn i was able to buy the splatmaster. when he stopped playing i inherieted his VM, damn that thing is heavy! i bought my mag in 2004 and finished upgrading it about a year later. the PGP is in pieces right now as it's being converted to semi. i bought the excellerator for my old man this christmas so he won't be able to fall back on the old "you kids with your fast guns will murder me" line.

JT Excellerator 5.0

How's that gun? I've heard nothing about them. They look sharp and they seem to be decently priced.

[peewee]

My first gun , I believe it was in 91, 92. Scorpion Elite semi. I had played with Nelspots & a spat master. Then I ran into "The magic markers " paintball team all sporting mags & the rest is history.

[NoLifeLeft]

1st: Spyder TL+ (only gun I've ever sold)
2nd: Black Magic cocker (has since been E2'd)
3rd: Angel 2K2 LCD Fly
4th: Toxic Imp (only stock parts left are the body, frame and noid)
5th: CCI Phantom VSC
6th: ULE E-Mag
7th: Sniper pump (on its way here)
8th: Lapco Grey Ghost (As soon as Colin ships it! Supposed to be soon. )

I just can't sell guns anymore. Guess that makes me a Gun Hoarder.

1. spyder compact 2000. i loved this gun till the very end, should never have sold it.
2. jt excellerator 4.0 -no other gun gave me this many headaches. completely unreliable.
3.angel lcd 2k1- awesome, loved it. amazing gun at the time. but i bought it used and the previous owner really did a number on the internals (shims bent, inserted wrong, etc etc), down the road it caused all sorts of problems, i sold it
4. automag classic w/pf(tko package)- amazing gun, very consistent, accurate and reliable. this gun felt like it was made FOR me. didn't have many chopping problems either.
5. impulse- i sold the mag thinking i needed more speed. i was wrong, this marker was another big headache, max flow problems, noid problems, and horrible shootdown. this marker was not worth the effort to get it up to par.
6. intimidator- traded the impy for this, just so i could sell it to someone else for more. played with it once, it was ok, definately not for me though.
7.automag pf (tko package)- couldn't wait to get another one of these bad boys! still have it to this day
8. emag- just the logical step up :) later sold it for the xmag
9. xmag- great marker, but i decided to try something new since i already had a mag, sold it.
10. 2k4 viking- best electro i've ever owned, shot very smooth, felt very refined and solid. but i realized i really just am not that fond of electros, wanted something mech and more customized.
11. custom mag from the magsmith- i love it, this is my baby and will never be sold or replaced

[Hexis]

1994: Tippmann ProLite
1996: AGD Minimag (Green!)
2003: AGD ULE E-Mag (More Green!)
2004: WGP Orracle (Even More Green!)

Got em all, but I think the ProLite is not working so well. It doesn't handle neglect as well as the now ReTro-Minimag does.

pmi piranha
mini-mag. level 7 oh yeah! had everything possible for that time period(intelliframe, warp loader, freak kit, rt valve, ect)
PnP supercocker, purple/silver splash(sexy as hell) mech.
green bushmaster 2000(i wanted one since 99 when i saw my first add for one in a magazine) gun broke somehow, and i didnt know much about icd guns, so i took it to a shop, and my parents never went and got it back, so they sold it.
then, i got out of paintball for like a year...

and baught a silver sn#00079! bushmaster 2000. complete factory stock. got a feedneck, and the usual stuff, chaos chip..

then i saw a great deal for my dream gun, sonic bushmaster. no longer made. picked it up for like 300. it has a cp reg, chaos board, ccm feedneck, cp barrel, 25mg switch,kapp adapter, cp on/off, and i LOVE it.

i traded my silver bushy to my friend for his impulse, just to get him away from Smart Parts, and get to ICD, and i sold the imp. Hopefully he still has it, havent talked to him in a few monthes since i got out of paintball temperarly to fix my car.
