Well, I have just gotten into paintball recently(Week and a half ago). I first bought a game face vexor, shot that in my backyard(a full 20 oz tank) then got that refilled, ended up only shooting 5-20 feet with low impact. Went to dunhams, replaced it same story except half a tank of use. Then I just got a spyder sonix, barely used it. Went to a field to play for my first time.

I sat thier for maybe an hour, talking to like 4 people that were near me. They had an Ion, 2 impulses and I don't remember what the other one hadm but they were pretty cool. I went to chrono my spyder it was running hot about 330 and no matter what I did for about an hour or so, it was still running hot. It hit below 300 like 5 times in a row[Only 280-290] but then jumped right back to 300+.

Then after a while a guy I had been talking to had a Tippy in his bag and he said if I was careful he would let me use it. So I used it for 2 games. First game, I was out in less then a minute, but the second game is where I had the most fun.

I rushed behind a bunker, shooting where I saw them. I saw my teammates[same people I had been talking to] all getting tagged, so I was the only left leaning left and right shooting to make sure I didnt flanked from one side. I got onem but soon after that I got it good right in the mask, lost about half my sight[obviously just hit my mask]. It was great, I will probably be trading my spyder back into dunhams for a tippy 98c w/ RT.

OK thier is my story, sorry for the rambling.

Yea, in that game thier was not really much talking going on, but it was  1 more experianced player[who let me use his tippy]. Then thier was like 3 kids younger then me, and 2 other older guys.

When I do get my tippmann, my first two upgrades will be:
-Revy 12v
-Palmers stabilizer

Welcome to the world of paintball.

The first upgrade you will want is a new barrel. The stock barrel stinks. Look into the Lapco Bigshot or the J&J Ceramic, 12-14in should be fine.

NASA and the Americans spent millions of dollars and hundreds of hours to develop a pen that would write in space.....The Russians used a pencil.

The more you play the more you'll love it. Speedball madness for me today, every muscle in my body is sore right now, sweet pain! Can't wait to play again next weekend.

Good times indeed.

It was funny, but it was one of those situations where I wasn't sure what team he was on so I had to take the shot.
