Paintball Economics

[paintballfiend]

So...
I have been using my mag and Phantom for some time and I am developing my skills little by little. However, I think it's time to make a new marker purchase. The thing is, I want to figure what will cost more. I was thinking about getting a Promaster/Fusion/Viking/Cyborg/Angel, an electro, but then I would have to buy a fast enough hopper (Vlocity, Halo, Reloader B) to feed it. Or, I could get a Paradigm Pro, but then I would need a barrel, I was thinking Redz Peppersticks. I already have a Ricochet 2KX so that would be fast enough to feed it. The thing that worries me is the paint cost and weather the Paradigm Pro would fire fast enough without any bounce or buying an ajustable tank.

what kind.

what kind of mag do you have? What is your set up?

[nathanjones008]

x-valve

it is cheaper to trade in your old valve and buy a x-valve then to buy a whole new gun.

A force feed hopper is a big + on any marker, mechanical or otherwise. I would say especially on something without eyes.

Vlocity + Cyborg = <3

Viking+Halo=insane
Viking+Vlocity=spraygun(for me at least)

I have a 68. I used to run it on a PMI 45/3000 steel tank until it crapped out on me and a Ricochet 2KX. I plan on getting a warp feed for it and buying a carbon-fiber tank, maybe a 70CI stubby.

I wanted something lighter and with a better trigger. Getting a Paradigm Pro just seemed like the way to go.However, it I decide to go electro then I still have to decide what to get.
