which marker for woodsball & few shots

[jnjloo]

hey,
I play woods ball with some friends (8-10 or so) and we play about 90% of the time with limited paint, about 50 rounds/ game. cheaper, have to be more accurate, ect. (I know alot of people don't care for it but.......)

anyway, I'm looking for a more accurate gun than the spyder shutter i've used for a long time. I like to sniper mostly and want to hit the same place with each shot instead of having them weave around each time like I have now. Distance is good certainly, but reliablility is upmost. I prefer c02 tho I know nitro is better, as I already have a co2 tank and like to be able to fill in the woods, so wouldn't mind using a remote line and hardware if needed. I am not a fan of tinkering (so I'm reading probably autococker is not my wish), just want a reliable gun. I'm looking at mag's (obviously), and don't know which one would be suited for me. I had decided on a rt pro, but when reading more about it, it says specifically it is designed for fast shooting, which I would like to be able to do, but don't need too much (by that I mean rapid fire, not 15balls/sec). I see the tac-one looks good, but I'm looking for a used gun, and there aren't many. Also looking for one with a angled feed so I can use a red dot scope (just the way of things).

Any help is appreciated, I know NOTHING about any markers other then spyders, besides reading up a bit on mags and the level 10 and such.

thanks

sounds like a pro classic might suit you well. you cant use a red dot with the SS bodie but you might be able to find a tac 1 body used for a fair price.

If you want to get a mag you will need a classic valve if you want co2. And then a remote or anti siphon CO2 really helps. Look for a powerfeed automag or minimag that has a siterail. Then you will be able to mount the red dot. Do you have an agitated hopper? If you don't even though you won't shoot too much paint a good hopper is a good idea just in case.

I prefer pumps in limited paint games. My phantom or my old CCM had always worked well, for simple you cant beat the phantom. I'd take a look at a right hand gravity feed bottom lined phantom.

Woodsball is all I play, and I know about shot conservation. One case will last me and my brother for a good 4-5 hour day. I started out playing with a compact 2000 and a TL-Plus..... Then I moved to a minimag with a lapco bigshot barrel and x-chamber (cause a 20oz co2 tank lasts all day plus about 200 more shots at home). You can't go wrong with a minimag or a pro classic.... heck, you can get a pro classic and slap a minimag body on there for an extra $10 and not have to get an after market front grip. I'd say look into those two markers - best bang for your buck hands down.

thanks alot guys, I"m looking!!!! (might check out the a5 with a flatline too, sorry , but have to look around)

[ahellers]

save your money and dont get the flat line, its not all its cracked up to be. if your looking at tippys check www.tippmannowners.com for advice.

Yea, the flatline does have a little better range, but accuracy sucks.

I would second a pro classic, any mag with an x/retro valve won't work with CO2.

You won't be shooting that fast with a pro classic and a single trigger frame, it's easy to take care of and it will fulfill all your needs.

roll yer own:

Sir would that be a punisher skull on the side of the bike grip??

Sniper... ugh... Don't get me started...

Anything with a classic valve will suit your needs. Classics run great on CO2, will not be out shot by a mech frame (pneumags not included), and the durability, reliability, and eas of maintenence are unparalleled (almost).

Just be sure to keep liquid out of the gun. Any Automag valve hates liquid CO2. Run a tank vertical with a shoulder stock, run remote, get it anti-siphoned, whatever; just keep liquid CO2 out of the gun. It tends to break o-rings and seals, and after too heavy rapid fire, will make your gun lock up for a minute or so.

*Zox, awesome Automag! I've never seen anything like it! Truly original!

i do own a Punishers rig, but that one is a dead-by-dawn original

we kinda do like the skull thing

alot

Thanks for the input. I'll look for a classic valve and go from there. as i'm new to mag's the 68 is a classic valve right?

and I'll do the remote setup and start with that.

thanks again

I'm basically looking for what's in the pic (assuming it can take a co2), just need to keep it within my 350 ish budget.

thanks again!!
