    Posted: 16 July 2005 at 1:39pm

Right now my setup is:

  • Tippmann 98c Rt
  • Richochet Apache
  • 20 oz C02
  • Dye Proto Switch Mask

Here are the upgrades I am getting in the near future:

  • 14" J&J ceramic
  • Paintball Jersey

And fineally her are the upgrades I am consitering:

  • Dye Sticky Grip
  • Custom Paintjob
  • Drop foward
  • X-Chamber/Palm Stabilizer

What do you think? Any suggestions or substitutions? I mostly play woodsball, but I don't want a gun I won't get laughed off a speedball field with. I know the 98c isn't teh best speedball gun, so don't tell me again. I'm not in the market for another gun, just upgrades on thsi one. Thanks.

Ok, I was thinking about Hpa, but I knew they usually are really expensive.

A good size tank (68/4500) will run you about $150, plus  $20 for a cover, and nipple protector.

In the long run, do you think it is worth it? How big of a difference does it make? Where do I go to get them refilled? My local paintball shop has a 47/3000 for $80 right now, is that a good deal?

Hey, Pate, it does feel good to be a gangster.

Why? From what I have heard, they are very quiet, light, accurate and self cleaning. I have not heard a bad review yet.

It's steel, and will only get you about 500 shots, so no, not a good deal.

HPA really comes into it's own during the winter, the consistency and constant gassy state really pay off.

ok, I know what you mean. If I do decide to get an HPA, it will be a while down the road. What about the other upgrades? What do you think?

I'd go for the palmer stab over the x chamber, otherwise all that stuff looks good.

Ok now forgive my noobish lack of intelligence on the topic, but what exactly does the Palmers do? I know it increases accuracy because the shots are more consistant, but does it also allow me to get more shots out of my C02 than I normally would? I have heard good things about them, but I also know they are like $100, so i was wondering what all they do.
