Paintball pistol.

So I'm looking into a paintball pistol, as my A5 has this annoying habit of running low on gas on me while I'm out on the field.  It gets to the point where it won't feed a ball with the cyclone every time, and as you can guess, this is a very big problem if you're under fire or trying to suppress so your team can move up.  So I'm looking into a pistol to have with me when this happens.

I'm leaning towards the T8, but I think it's the only one I've seen that looks good to me, so it's drawing my attention, but I don't really care about looks, I want a good, reliable, accurate pistol.

Anyone have any other suggestions, or would the T8 meet my needs? There's not really any fields around here that carry pistols (that I've seen) and not too many players carry them, so I can't try them out first.

Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

The problem with carrying a spare Co2 tank is that it quits feeding the cyclone before (probably 20 or more shots) before it's out of air.  It would require that whole decompressing job of partly unscrewing the tank, firing a few shots to bleed pressure off, completely unscrewing tank, and putting new one on.  While not exactly a time consuming action, it does let the other team know what's going on, and that I'm pretty vulnerable for a few seconds.  

You might want to look into guns like the Delta 68, Ariakron ACP pistol, Armotech G1 and G2, There is a very rare and very cool Desert Duck 68 pump up for sale on ebay now, its only 3,550.00, haha anyways, PTxtreme paintball pistols, PGP's are supposed to be sweet but they are pump not semiautomatic, and RAP4's are all over the internet, don't know much about them though, I think i've always heard that RAP4 crap is well crap.

Get a paintball slingshot.

Buddy of mine plays slingshot sometimes.  Got into a dual at the local field with one of the regulars who refs there and is on a tourny team.  My friend snapped shot him out while he was reloading using a slingshot and paint he picked up off the ground.  :) The guy normally plays pump but will go out with the slingshot to improve his mobility skills.

I have a Zeus and ACP.  Both nice markers for pistols.  I like the ACP better just because it is lighter.

I notice you refer back to stories in the posts that I read of yours.

Pistols for a sidearm = silly. Pistols for pistol play = awesome!

I was mostly joking, but my brother and I think it would be hysterical fun to actually try this.  

just get a spare co2 tank?

3.5oz ftw.

You might also have a leak in your gas line,I have had the same problem before.Reply
