Okay...im new to paintballing and got a Pirahna on reccommendation of the paintball store clerk. It was an STS pakage deal and i was happy with it for about a week when it stopped firing. I took it in and the guy took it apart and all the pices were screwed to hell so i got the brand new STS for free as an exchange. Once again i was happy for a few weeks untill i realized that the parts on the inside were totally screwed to hell also. However, it shoots fine. Now, i want the opinion of some skilled players here...what the hell should i do, cause im sick of getting screwed by Pirahna. thanx ------------- I snuck up on the bunkered enemy wondering if i should ask him to surender...naw... |

since your new i suggest a a-5. if you have the money for the dm4
save up for it. although the dm4 takes much more maintnance than
the a-5, and isnt that very good of a beginner gun unless you take time
to clean it and care for it. it is a great gun but high
maitanance.

Dont get the Dm4 Most likly you'll screw that up 2, start with something smaller, seeing that your also a newb, So i say get a BKO for like 325 dollars, or get a Prostock autococker, or a vision impulse or shocker. Seeing that you only had a pirahna, i say you should start small and work your wall up to a dm4. -------------

Get the a-5, it's easy to clean and a very good gun. you can buy a Dm4 later if you want. and i'm sure the poeple at the paintball store you got your gun at are very nice, but have you considered they're just plain stupid? ------------- i reject reality and substitute my own |

or a spyder....*ahem* yeah, get a5 now OR u can get the dragun tes and seeing how u have a somewhat helpful proshop they can fix all the problems the tes comes with. if ur lucky, ur tes might not come with ne problems. but it is an awesome gun for a cheap price.....its like a spyder-timmy conversion clone. -------------
