Tippmann X-7

I'm done buying Tippmanns.  I just want to upgrade my Tippy until it has had enough.

My next upgrades will be

Scepter 4000 Grenade Launcher

A bigger tasco read dot sight, I have the 30mm I want the 42mm.

The apex barrel with the UMS Apex mod and stick it onto a 8 or 10 inch JJ.  Or maybe I'll just use the 12inch JJ that I already own.  But I don't want the barrel to be too long when I put the Apex end on it. (I already own the flatline though).

I would get the apex that comes the m4 shroud with the rails around the shroud so I can attach the scepter 4000 greanade launcher to the gun. (Wait... I know I can buy apex's with m4 shrouds but do some of those m4 shrouds have rails on them - like this shroud?) http://www.specialopspaintball.com/shop/product_detail.asp?S KU=220+0007&SEARCH=SHROUD If not I'll buy the regular apex and that shroud.

Crossfire 68/4500 and get a pack to hold it so I can use my remote coil with it.

Palmers Male stabalizer

Full Digital Camo suit

Milling and then paint the gun and everything else on the gun even my mask the same color and same type of digital camo as my digital camo suit/outfit - and I'll even get a lens cover off the specopps site that has the same color digital camo as my gear.  --- I will be invisible!! lol.

Mod a couple other upgrades on my gun.

And then I will have an amazing woodsball setup. 

And then I'll buy the newest ego on the market for speedball. 

So no more Tippy's for me. My 98 is just fine thanks.

Awesomeman I like the 98 cause it's light (plus I did the 98 superlight mod) and many others. I don't know I just love my 98 C.

I guess cause I have put a lot of time and money into it but yes by the time I'm done getting everything I'll have spent over 2.5K on Paintball gear (and I'll only have a Tippy).  I'm estimating that I'll spend another $980 - 1K on pb gear to have my Tippy and everything including camo gear and I mean everything PERFECT.

So far I've spent $1844.87 CDN. Yes I've kept track of every paintball purchase, - it wasn't that hard cause I buy all my paintball stuff online. 

Do you want a list of everything I bought? In case you do. lol. Here's how much I wasted: (oh the prices include shipping fees to Canada - cause I buy almost everything on ebay). Oh and the reason some things are divided into different tables is cause I bought some things toghether and some things seperatly. (Prices are CDN).

Yes I've spent way too much on stuff that isn't very important.  That's what happens when you get addicted to ebay. (I'm a University Student too. - Not too good for debts.) My suggestion: stay away from ebay!

I forgot to mention I also bought a raised Sight Rail $46.01 US with an adapter $12.99 US a butt pad for my stock $6.99 US = total with shipping about $91.

Ya I spent way too much on my gun.

Personally I would rather upgrade my guns than to buy a whole new one. I would rather go get an E-bolt and LPK for my 98 than spend 329$ on a X-7. and that 329$ is BEFORE any of the milsim upgrades.

I mean, 20$ for a front sight? 25$ for a carry handle? 25$ for a magazine? 45$ for a front grip? and anywhere from 70$ to 150$ for a stock!?!?!

I know this is to appeal to those who like milsim, but if I wanted to milsim a gun, I would just buy junk from OpsGear or SpecOps for my A-5 or do some custom work to my 98 to make it into a gangster style tommy gun.

I just went through the build your own gun junk, and put on the cheapest add-ons to the gun and it costs 513$. that is just rediculos. 513$ for very milsim version of an A-5 which has a new cyclone EP that goes up to 20 BPS. hurray. now I just need to spend another 100$ or so to get an E-grip for it once they come out since of course you have to get this so you can utilise the more powerful cyclone. and a remote setup since of course a milsim gun cant have a tank on it. Oh and dont forget the inevitable new barrel you will need since the stock one will be trash like any other stock barrel and of course it will probably end up being some expensive specops barrel which has changable tips that look like the tips on real guns.

personally, its to much of a money sink. milsims are awesome when done right, but MAN are they expensive. if I was gonna do a milsim I want it to be unique also, not a copy paste your X-7 from their "build your own x-7" demo. Milsims are to be a work of art. it is much more fulfilling to create your own masterpeice that to just fork out a ton of money to buy it from someone else. I would much rather hold a gun which I have spend countless hours working on it. its much better when someone asks about your awesome milsim gun to talk about all the time and energy you have spent creating it than to say "well I bought it from Tippmann this way, isnt it great?!"
