Phantom,
could be considered the best pump by many. (now, im going from info
people told me, I have only held one) They are pretty light, have a
good smooth, easy pump, and looks kick ass when you have them setup
right. You can check out www.stockclasspaintball.com for more info.

I rather use the 12 gram co2's than a tank, you can get a case of 12's fer less than $20. ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!

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. -------------

I would never spend 200 on a pump. No matter what they say about it. -------------

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. -------------

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.. -------------
