    Posted: 04 July 2008 at 3:36pm

so my friend owns a paintball shop/field and i work for him every now and then and usually he pays me at the end of the month.  Well last month someone ordered this from him and never picked it up so he gave it to me as my payment:

im new to the world of pumps/phantoms so if anyone knows of any important upgrades or problems to watch out for with this please let me know. thanks

phantoms are good. comman "upgrades" are a stock class body, 45 grip and vert 12gram.

Just buy a 12-gram changer, and then you'll have to have someone whip you up a custom 10-ball feed tube, because it doesn't have a stock class feed on it.

Beautiful gun.  I love acid wash.  The only thing I would do would get a 12 gram changer, even a 3.5oz CO2 would work, and a custom stick ball feeder.

Nice gun.

check out wevo, and you can buy anything and everything phantom.

wevopaintball.com i think, i'd hit it with a stock class body and feed tube, you can also get your 12gram there same color

heres mine, love it

just messing around with it because i shot it for the first time today and found out that its actually really accurate...

good?

(for the record i really dont intend on keeping the 12 oz tank or the regular size hopper... but i may keep the red dot when the stock comes in if it looks good)

they are the most accurate guns, but they arent better than any other gun, i think what makes them accuate is how ergonomic they are, and the fact that you aim it helps. and this was my first phantom, and it is my vsc setup, more beat up but the stroke is smoother

also, i like the m16 frame better. but thats preference

^^^tighten that screw.

First upgrade is you need to buy some detent rings asap.  get two kits, they're easy to lose.  3.5oz tanks are magnificent also.  Never need rehydroed and much more cost efficient than the 12 grams.

you also need a trigger shoe, otherwise your finger will get a bit raw...  but all these are pretty cheap parts.
