xt or ext

I personally dont know. Not many people have a triumph so its hard to get help. You could just save up enough money until you can afford a electric hopper or buy a used electric hopper.

Or just save your money for a better paintball gun. I can see why, you are getting it. It costs less than $100. If you really are considering playing paintball as a hobby, and you can't afford a gun that is over $100, you need to find something else to do. Paintball is an expensive sport and on a one day outing, you could be spending almost $100. It all depends on the field and pricing.

The triumph series isn't even under the Tippmann category at some online stores. Kinda shows how dissapointed Tippmann is in their product.

Then get a used regular Custom Pro. It's going to look good right out of the box especially because the paint is extremely hard to mess up. It will stand up to the woods better because it has a metal body. It is way more customizeable than a Triumph so if there is something small that is bothering you, it will be easy to make it better or fix it.

I'm not entirely bashing the Triumph line. I am just trying to help you make a better choice. Sure the Triumph might be a cool tinker toy, but not something to use often.
