Lose the mag.

Do something custom and different. We have seen that  exact same gun hundreds of time. Do something to make it special.

Well, I kind of need the Mag because its my expansion chamber. Yeah, it looks clunky but I would rather have it than not.

I'm fairly new to paintball (first time I played was in October) and I got the basic necessities that my friends suggested. I was thinking about a Q-loader. I happen to get hit in the hopper every freaking time so  I might as well eliminate it

i would suggest getting an X-7 instead cause of the off set, low profile hopper plus it has a cyclone feed system which i like very much

ditch the mag expansion.  if you need a expansion chamber thats affordable i would suggest the vertical expansion chamber made by tippmann.  its cheap and works good for normal play

i wouldnt suggest a q-loader  id just stick with the cyclone feed "or it appears to be a cyclone feed to me"  or if you do want to change that hopper id just go with a regular motorized hopper.

to avoid hopper hits just tilt your gun very slightly to one side to get it behind cover.

 

but ya like snake said make it special but mostly just make it comfortable for you.  i always say shoot the gun first then figure out what you want it to do from there.

the stock tippmann with no mods is great for woodsball.  so you wont have to spend much money unless you want to.

i think the mag looks straight goofy.. and you prolly paid more than you needed to.. coulda spent less and got something better...

loose the flatline, at the distances they are sposed to increase range to, the balls actually are more prone to just roll down the target and not break...

stock.. eh.. i prefer using the tank as the stock.. but thats just me..

i say, slap on a CP barrel .689 bore, work on your stance as not to get hit in the hopper... and invest in Palmers Stabilizer or a cheap regulator that works with Co2.. most will , some wont ... also go back to a steel braided line if you are using Co2... macro + Co2 equals leakies if not careful

and i can gaurantee you it isnt the best functioning thing for the job.. most expansion chambers make the gun perform worse.. they dont allow enough liquid co2 for expansion and still doesnt keep a constant pressure...

regulators are better... and you can get them for around 30 bucks some of them... allows liquid and keeps pressures stable... like the PPS Stabilizer (these are around $70-100 tho)... best regulator for Co2 usage

Well, the one thing I don't like about the mag is that it is heavy. Numerous people have told me to drop pt and get a nitro tank and that will eliminate the need for  the ex chamber

that is an option too... more expensive but a very good option.. i would take into account of availabilty if places that will fill Nitro Tanks... because that tippmann will maybe only get about 300 shots out of a 45ci 3000psi tank......

and to get the same amount of shots as a 20oz co2.. youd have to get a 68ci 4500psi or a 72ci 3000psi.... which are both generally above $170 ...

id say stick with co2 since it is more available.. and get a Palmers Stabilizer .. cheaper... easier to come by...

Sell the flatline and mag. Then get the Palmers ctchofday is suggesting, and a new/cheap barrel. Like a J&J. I'd say then you'd have an above average woodsball marker.

One shot, One kill.... Oh, wait. What fun is that? TEN shots, one kill, and a bunch of welts on your back.

I like your gun for the most part i do agree with the other guys tho, the mag is an eyesore and its heavy, Different people have differnt taste though, if you want a mag that looks cool get a bossman mag it looks cool and its not to heavy.

Ima Sniper, Cause thats how i roll!

Looks fine all excpet for the mag. I would suggest either picking up a remote line or a regular expansion chamber.
