i havent posted on here in about 2 years but wutev. i'e been using a 98c flatline..you know the noob setup? well i love tippmann products, everytime i have used a different brand it breaks. so now that i havent been a noob for around 4 years i think its time for a new gun. the X7 is in death struggle with the c3, i would like a pump but i am not sure about the c6, the x7 looks like a flimsy version of the a5. which wouold you reccomend? only post if you own one of these guns please

The X7 is by no means flimsy. I've played with a C3 once and didnt really like the feel of it. I would say to go with the X7. Mods are coming out for it now, so you can upgrade to your choosing.

I don't really like the feeling of the c3 I have played a couple of games with one and if you want a pump the c3 is deffinately not the way to go unless obtaining co2 is an issue. As for the x7 I have never used one but I have heard lots of good things about them. Also for future reference this should be in which gun is best.

If you do want a pump , I'd look at a Phantom (which I've never owned) or getting a mech cocker and putting a pump kit on it (which was the motivation behind my getting the Prostock , but so far , I'm liking it as a semi - mechanical marker )

Unless you like your gun to be very milsim, I would just buy an A5 over an X7.

Well, I think you might run into some setup problems with the C3, finding the right mixture and whatnot. This might discourage you.

I would personally get the C3 over the x7, just cause you already have a semi-auto that is highly customizable. But I would try to get to a proshop to test them out.

Keep the 98, it is not even a noob setup unless you want it to be.

Save the money you'd waste on a gun just as good (A5 or X7) and upgrade the 98!

yeah im not gonna get a c3 for sure...if im gonna buy a pump it will be a phantom, and it is true i have a semi auto already and is quite customized. so im gonna buy some more stuff for it, an offset weaver rail and a red dot site and stuff. the x7 does look like a bamf though!
