Ok, so im probaly going to join a speedball team in early spring so i was just wondering what kind of gun i should get or if i should stick with my 98c and upgrade it a ton. The guns i was looking at where the Impulse with vision or without, BKO, and E-matrix which is a little pricy for me. If u have any other sugesstions then please tell me. Also i will be joining a 5 man beginners team type thingy with people my age YES....Im only 13.....so keep in mind i dont have a job so would have to earn the money from mowing lawns and stuff

thanks a ton

i see your basically looking into electronic guns, so i would look into a b2k4 with pds, and maybe a barrel if you can. i wouldnt recomend any type of impulse, they are shooty, inconsistent and very poorly made.... wayy overpriced too

if youd consider mechanical guns, i would look into an mag, such as the rt-pro, you could also look into an 03 or 04 cocker and upgrade some parts with the extra money you saved by getting a cheaper gun.

i agree u should look at a b2k4 - sell ur 98c b/c u will need to get an electric hopper and nitro tank to work with any low pressure gun.

personally i dont think mech guns can compare to electros so if u want fast, look at a bko or the b2k4

Heh... good luck finding a B2k4 w/ PDS...

I Agree Impulses Are Over Priced so dont go with that...  In the end its nor really worth upgrading the piss out of your 98c, most people end up selling there 98c...

What you may find thats worth while and doesn't cost a fortune are these guns...

  • WGP Outkast
  • Evil Omen
  • Spyder ACS Fenix
  • ICD BKO
out of all of those I'd probably go with the OutKast... unless you want a Electro then I'd get the Omen or the BKO...

Here's one you tard.  Impulses aren't overpriced.  You can find them for $350 and up if you actually take your head out of your butt for a moment and look.  If you're looking for your first electro, and are going to be competing with it, I would go with the B2k4 w/ PDS, or wait a while and get the B2k5 w/ PDS which should be out before Xmas.

It is the paintball detection system. The gun is made by Indian Creek Designs if that helps.

I would just go with the Matrix. Even if it is a little pricy you won't regret it in the long run.

calm down there buddy.

 impluses are overpriced, even at $350 (witch i havent seen but o well). they suck terribly, break all the time, are very inconsistent, and have terrible, terrible stock parts.
and what he was trying to say is that the b2k4 with pds isnt in stock alot of places, and it doesnt even say whether its in stock or not in the link you provided, my best bet is that it is currently sold out.

have a good day.

Ok so i think ive lowered it down to a couple I think its gonna be a BKO with PDS or that impulse above cause i need to buy a nitro tank and a electric hopper. Theres one more exception for the gun i looked at the evil omen and this gun http://www.firstcallpaintball.com/detail.aspx?ID=1186 dunno if their anygood cause theirs not much of a description but those are my four ill choose from. Oh and what kind of nitro and electric hopper is good?? I was thinking a stubby tank fiber wrapped and with the hopper a egg or halo so tell me if those r good choices.  And tell me which gun you think is best.
