I love playing speedball with my blazer and pump kit. I tend to shoot more people that way than i do when im shooting any of my other fancy electros and such. People tell me its because you cant spell blazer without lazer.

Im considering trading my minimag for a pump, is that a good idea?

I don't have enough money too even buy a tank for it, so Im kinda in a dilemma...

Just got my micro-phantom. 8" barrel, verticle air system, acid wash green.

and to add to my post above ... i had leftover paint from lastime and 12ies so...

2.14 for chicken nuggets on the way to the field
20.00 field fee
22.14 total spend to play a day of ball w/PGP

That's a lot for chicken nuggets. :)

I paid $19 for a day of paintball yesterday.

$13 for entry
$3 to fill my 3.5 oz
$2 for Gatoraid
$1 for Cheetos

I spend about $30. Field fees around here are all $20, and I figure I spend about $10 on paint and air combined(averaged). I bought a case a couple weeks ago, and I'm guessing it's going to last me about 4 months... :P

$28 or $22 for all day.

I can barely afford to play, Im looking for a good gun that will allow me to play in any game, any time. I can get free co2 by my friend, but I would have to pay for hpa from the store. My minimag is not totally finished, Im missing the sear, trigger rod and pin. I'm also gonna need a tank and some other stuff if Im gonna play with hpa. I have nine tenths of a minimag that I might trade if I can get a good pump or something along that line... Please tell me what I need to do.

Wait til you play an all pump only game on the speedball field. It gets crazy cause theres a lot more movement than in a semi game.

What makes you think there is more movement only in an all pump speedball game???

When my pump club plays on a speedball field against all semi teams the games are just as fast .... and we usually win the first 3 or 4 games .... then they want to mix the teams up.





I don't remember if that's an old hit on my shoulder or if I was already out and the camera guy just wanted to take a picture of me. Who knows ... Here's a vid of the game though ...

Ahhh ... i see your delima ... well pump will definately help that ...

I'd say that pump isn't completely necessary ... just play with limited paint ... i'll send you a stick feed i made for my mag that fits in an elbow ... if you want it ... you just won't have a pump ... send me a pm with your addy ...

If all you need is a sear assy ... i'd almost be willing to bet that someone here has a spare they can part with ... check the pay it foward thread ... it never hurts to ask ...

forget HPA get a 9oz ... that should last a couple of days if you play with limited paint ...

Then again you could sell your stuff and get a decent tracer or maverick ...

For the last month I've been playing for $5 a day ($5 entry for a college ID discount + use paint from before). A total of $10 if you count the garbage plate afterwards .

But yes, I totally agree. Pump speedball is wicked fun. Nobody else up here pumps, at least none that I've seen. I love all of the wierd looks and snickers I get when I walk onto the field with a pump with all of the "advanced players". There's nothing like one balling an "agg" kiddie in the goggles, or bunkering one (or two...its happened) in the snake and hearing them mutter all frustrated "I can't believe I got shot by a pump". It never gets old .

LOL ... there was one time I ran the entire tape on the right side of the feild ... they were all looking the other direction or looking down or who knows what ... All I know is the the horn blew ... I ran my butt off. Bunkered their back corner guy, one shot the other back corner guy, then one balled the rest of their team from behind.

They were all like: "Where'd he come from??" and "Can we play another game that lasts longer please??"

I think that game lasted 15 seconds .... So yeah ... one balling/bunkering/gogging, and out manuevering everyone is the best.
