    Guys I have a Big problem.

    This is starting to bug me.
    Basically this all started with me falling in love with the micromag. I want one so bad, but my mom wont let me sell me gun to get one. I think my setup is very heavy, sloppy, and ugly.
    The setup wieghs 9.5 pounds.
    The thing is, I cant make it any lighter.
    Its starting to piss me off, my mom wont let me sell anything because of how much you have to sacrifice when you sell used items. I agree with her because the most I could get out of my gun is 400 and I have spent atleast 700 (including things not shown in that pic) on my mag.
    Thats 300 bucks. It really is insane.
    Im just sick of my mag. Its reliable, but now Im realising how much I would rather have a lighter, more clean setup.
    I have 30 bucks and that also buggs me.
    I get 4 bucks a week.
    I need ways to make money. I can find some I suppose but none will give me the income I need to play paintball. I can get 60 bucks in one day once a month at my dads monthly coin show. Thats pretty much the only way I can get money, and I have to work a whole day doing something I know nothing about. Reffing isnt a choice because the field I go to you have to be 14 to even volenteer, and 16 to work.
    Im just really depressed and sick of my life on top of everything. I cant buy and not sell because of my lack of money and also because my mom thinks I put too much money into paintball. I play maby once a month, and I would play more, If I earned more. My mom says I dont play enough to be buying all these 'gadgets' for my paintball gun.
    Well the truth is, I WOULD play 4 times a month if I had the TRANSPORTATION and MONEY. Life is hard for a 13 year old paintballer. My mom wants me to get another hobby.
    Guess what, Im really not that good at anything besides paintball. I got a new hobby: mountian biking. noo I need more. She is really starting to make me mad.
    I suppose I just need advice, Im really upset.

    Well it sux being that young, old enough to do stuff but to young to pay for it. The only thing I can say is to wait until your old enough to get a job and get one. Just keep your grades up and don't get in trouble and life will get better.

        sorry to sound mean about this but try and do 50 pushups every morning for the whole rest of the summer. It'll get you into better condition to carry your mag around. I'm a fricken wimp but I started to do morning pushups and situps a while back before the summer started and I find myself in a lot better condition to play and carry my mag around... BUT, my setup weighs less.

          i have to agree with foo do some pushups. thatll make you stronger. id also lose the warp. your small enough as is and thatll take away a pound off your gun. but your still young so you still have to hit puberty and when you do youll be much stronger and will be able to handle your mag.
          keep it you dont want a micro mag. their almost the same thing as regular mags. ask 845 hes small and has a micro.

            My setup weighs about 4.5 lbs completely empty. I don't know how you make your setup so heavy but oh well.

              I know I need to do pushups, I was doing them, but then I got out of the habit somehow.. 9.5 pounds is alot to be running around the field with.. thats 9.5 with a full tank and no paintballs. I also think I should loose the warp. Except like I said, my mom wont let me sell it. I can take it off and let it just collect dust but I also want vertical feed if im going to not use a warp because I like the balenced feel.

              Edit: Foo, Im catching up to you in post #

                  very well put and im sure you can find someone who will give you good prices on the stuff. if you list what barrels they are i consider buying one off you.

                    It happened like this. The one on the top (PMI Ceramic) came with my gun. Then I bought a 2002 AA and the paint match was horrible. THE HIGHEST PRICE I GOT OFFERED FOR MY 90 DOLLAR BARREL THAT WAS ONLY USED TWICE WAS $50!
                    Anyway I ended up trading it for the black barrel(Taso Winforce) and my Taso Proseries is what I think it is(on the gun). The barrels that arent on the gun are only worth maby 20 bucks imo. Like I said, unless your willing to pay close to the new price, I dont think my mom would let me sell the warp.

                      i bout my aa for 35 bucks used so you should be happy you were offered 50 bucks. really dont like either barrel but how much do you want for the taso winforce? ask your mom how much she would have to so get for you to ship it to me. if our prices match ill probably be able to send you a mo this weekend.

                        Dude... I retired from posting... If i really postwhored like you, wes, and those other dirty fools I would have been up in the 5000's competing with phil.

                        Here's my setup but I usually use a nitro tank and I'm getting a longer drop.

                              ROFLMAO...

                              Sorry, but this post reminds me of when I was in those years. Striving to get a gun, having your parents annoy you "oh you should buy this that gun won't help you" this that, playing every... 2-3 months hahaha. oh well.

                              SUCKS BEING YOUNG DON'T IT?

                              Sorry to be so harsh, but thats how people were like when I went around whining like you.
