I just wanted to know if pistols are just as strong as a marker and i know there not quite as accurate since they have a short barrel. But i wanted to know if they are worth buying and if so which one?

That all depends on what you intend to use it for.  If you want to play a standard game with just a pistol, you'll be disaponted.  Of course, if you already play with a pump against a bunch of full auto guns, then you'll know what to expect.  On the other hand, if you play scenario paintball, a pistol can be usefull.  Especially during close quarters and room entry types of firefights.  As for which one, I have used the Zeus G2 and since both Armotech and Airaikon make several models of this same design, one of them should suit your fancy.

im talking about like a good speedball weapon which i know soundsa stupid to some of u but this is rec speedball  becuz pistols are a lot lighter and since im really accurate and only need 10 balls to win a game is the pistol a good choice for going against people with stock 98c?

this was only 3 hours of playing. and in a full day with ppl my own skill lvl i can get 30 ppl with 100-150 shots in about 8 hours and get out probably 3-4 times. i just ghost flank them. see which direction the ppl go and if they both go the same direction sprint off down the field on the opposite side and its oiver. but if they split up ill just stay up and when they pop up to snap shoot gog them. then move up the open side. thas what i do.... flank them.

Yes, most pistols are semi-auto, the pump you,ve seen is the PGP, it's been around for close to 20 years and still gets the job done.  As for using a pistol for speedball, try one and find out.  I do know that you can run faster without all the gear weighing you down.

Ya or at least not with good players.  Have you ever had to run through a rope of paint with someone goin about 20 bps on your running lane and bunker?  YA then its a little harder.  And when youre on a team then the all dont just go off in one dericetion but rather send one guy right, one guy left and one guy center if you play young guns 3v3.  then you need to use about 250 shots per game and they and maybe none will even hit anyone and it could stil be a good game.  Try this type off speedball and then get back to us on how many people you hit in 5 games.  Ya and about the pistol Id get a Delta 68 or save up the money for a faster marker.  Pistols are fun to use though...

dude i've played in a tourney before and used 1 hopper the whole game.. i know how to play anyway i know about lupus orw/e and my a-5 is stock besides a flatline on it.

you'd have to be retarded to try to use a pistol in a tourney or like invincible. i just want a pistol so the rec players arebn't intimidated byu a tourney player and will actually play with me and stuff. plus they like he's got a pistol! just rush him!
