The Family Got Bigger

intimidators are a pain...  you have to oil and clean them out every 1,000 shots...  and people say cockers are hard to maintain...

but anyway, nice ego.  though i don't like the term "dark trooper"...  looking foward to seeing the sniper though...

^^ Thanks guys...

What is your reasoning for trying an Ion or a Shocker instead of going straight to an Angel?   Are you worried about getting used to a high end?   For a recommendation, I would say shoot everything you can get your hands on and see what fits you.   It may actually be that a Shocker is the gun for you.   The two main criteria for a new marker are:

1... what do YOU like

2... Budget

PB Markers are like anything else in life.   Don't over extend yourself.  If you like the A1 and can afford it... then why wait?   Go for it.   Coming from shooting modified mid-end markers, you will love it.   Just understand that you will be going through ALOT more paint without realizing it.

I understand d...

I think I am an idiot...<no selling please>

Whoever called me a whore was right.

Well here's my problem... I really don't ever get a chance to try guns out. I can hold them and stuff at the PB Store.. but honostly, on the field, EVERYONE has either a 98c, or an Ion... I've only seen ONE high-end gun there and that was some Dye gun...I like Ion but man...it's so light..I like to feel like I am actually carrying something (A-5) but with the Ion it's almost weightless to me....I guess I'll ask the store manager and see if I can test out their new Shocker... If I get an Ion though I'll wait until the newer models ship out to my local store.

Maybe I will get to test it out once I get out to the field to play with you.

Sunday is my play day this weekend.   DeT... thats just the stupidity of being a gunwhore.   I bought the Ego from someone that needed cash badly.   So I got a great deal and only got it as an investment.   Buying and Selling guns is much more fun than watching my E*Trade account!  LOL! Blonde... give me a description of your size.   I agree with you about small guns.   I like a little bit of weight.   Would you have an issue with buying a used gun?   If you would buy a used gun, what would be your budget?   Do you have a PayPal account?   Do you already have a tank?   High pressure or LP output?   Halo or VLocity (you'll need one)?   Answer as much as you can and I'll try to recommend something that fits your characteristics and budget both new and used.

I'm about 250pounds... 6'00, I used to have a Paypal not anymore. I don't have an HP or LP tank, I have an Evolution 2 Hopper (which I hate) no issue with buying a used gun as long as it's actually good (I would want to test it first) budget would be $200-400

Sorry Rico, I have this carnival thing going all on this weekend. My church is having a paintball outing and I am still considering meeting you or owning all the people in my group. I think they are going to play at hit and run and that is something I really don't want to do unless the price is really good.

Whats Up Nick with a Q?   The E-Blade does not function as an auto-trigger.  It will trip the sear repeatedly if you desire to walk the trigger, but it won't fire until you pump the gun to set the sear.   There was no modification needed on the E-Blade as all.   Just unplug the Solenoid and remove the entire front block.   You can replace the Pneus in about 5 minutes and since it is electronic, it is not necessary to retime the marker.

As for your DM5... it really sounds like you were using brittle paint and your tension was set too high on your Empire B.   But, once you break paint in your hopper, you are pretty much screwed until you are able to disassemble your hopper to get it completely clean.   Otherwise your eyes will continue to get dirty and your hopper will continue to break paint.
