Phantom/Semi

I'm going to order a Phantom and was wondering what was going to
happen when it came to close quarters w/ semis and it dawned on
me. Why not make a selector switch on the Phantom so you can
switch to semi when it gets in close, and back to pump for
everything else. it would work like when to switched it to semi after
every shot it would cycle the pump putting a ball into the chamber
and then would shut this off when switched back to pump. Tell me
what you think and how i could do this.

pump real fast...

That kind of defeats the purpose of having a pump...

Alternatively you could just play with a semi and fire single shot until you get close to someone.

I know this is a dumb idea and I admit why not just play pump who cares if a semi player is dumping paint on you get used to it cus that is part of the fun of playing pump

But here is an idea if you really want to do this.  You need a RT like piston on the side so that every time the gun cycles it would push the bolt back and after it finished its movement an internal spring would push the piston back into position.  If you wished to go pump only you could turn a closing screw much like the one on the RT so that no air would go to the piston thus making it so you have to pump. 

Just saying in my defense I have never seen a phantom in action nor do I know how they work.  This is all based on basic facts that I know and I could easily be of base on this. So this is only an idea so have fun with it and don’t kill yourself trying to make this work.

If you can figure out how to make a gun switch between pump action and semi at the flick of a switch, i think you could make a ton of money.

i agree

The Benelli M(something) 12 guage shotgun allows you to switch between pump action, and Semi-Auto.  I don't see any reason why you couldn't do it with a paintball gun.

Go, learn, realize that you feeble attempts at life are meaningless.

Oh and a gun is nothing like how a paintball gun works.

    Hold down the trigger and pump it. It should fire like a semi.

If you play pump and are worried about being bunkered then get a pump pistol and have an A-5 on a combat strap (like a sling) and if someone is getting close switch. That should make them think twice about bunkering and if it doesnt light em up like a cuban cigar. just kidding.
