Phantom-whats the big deal?

so what makes Phantoms so awesome?  i dont know very much about the gun.  Im reading an article about the old school challenge in cali and most of the players r using them.  ive also heard other people throw the name around before.  what makes these guns so special and how much do they cost?

Try reading some APG magazines, they talk bout pumps all the time.

I have heard that Phantoms are the best pumps, but what about the E. Carters?

^^^some phantoms r setup to accept tanks instead of 12gram containers. 

the name "phantom"

look at her, her simple engineering and raw attitude.  ill take this
baby over a timmy any day

I love my phantom. I have mine set up for constant air, and I use a 45 round hopper. I like the autotrigger, the very light weight, the compact design, the paint job, and most importantly, the performance.

It's the most accurate paintball gun I own, especially considering it is still stock. I play speedball against semi's with it, and I do quite well. I only get out the 98 when I'm having an off day, but 9 times out of 10 I'm playing with the phantom or my pgp pump pistol.

The stock barrel doesn't perform like stock barrel. It's like a nice aftermarket barrel. The barrel is very quiet too. If you miss, there's a good chance they didn't hear you anyway.

I also like that I can get a new body and make it a stock class gun for fairly cheap.

The phantom is easy to maintain, as it has very few parts.

It's the kind of paintball I like to play, and it was worth every penny. I'd never spend the money on some of the upgrades a lot of people here use, but it's worth it to them for how they want to play. Anyway, I save a lot of money on paint.

he used the word "sniper"

Best pump gun ever. Some say that the E carters are better but there not. A phantom which is like half the price performs better then an e carter. Dont mess with the phantom..
