I feel like showing off my gun, but I also have a problem. I want to get a new reg, and I NEED a shorter 3way. for 3ways I've narrowed it down to Bomb Orracle/CT Hollowpoint And the reg Torpedo Gladiator CP Reg Shocktech Reg I would like the hose fitintg at the bottom, as I would need no new pieces :D Any suggestion? Thanks.    ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

you can lube it without have to retime it. just take of the frame and slide it the rod out of the 3 way, just dont bend it like me... lol ya the bomb is really smooth, leaks are easy to fix, hollow point is really short, and smooth also, CT if you adjust it right you can get it really short, but i heard it adjusts itself gladi, or cp, or sidewinder i might add there all about the same price -------------  |

YA I've thoguht sidewinder, just harder to get in Canada, and I heard the shocktech is a CP clone, so wouldn't it be better? Thanks for the help so far. I've trying to get at this point a really fast mech. ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

cp reg = awesome on cockers. if u want a really fast mech, do as ppl said and get the bomb and also get the mp-4 ram. <----very smooth and fast. -------------

Hmm, Really dont know ne things bout three way, i have an ebalde so it comes with a 3 way. As for the reg, i use a Palmers Stab. on mine and it worked great, especially with a gauge. But from you list i say that the best reg you listed is the gladiator from mec dev. -------------

| I'd go with the hollowpoint. Sick color scheme, I love chrome/silver and stuff, that is what i want on my mag |

Thanks all. I'm getting white Dye Stickies tonight, and the
CP is really accurate and cheap I got it used for about half off,
but It annoys me how much the chrome is chipping off. chunks will
get snagged just putting my barrel condom on :( Anyone know somewhere in canada to get the hollowpoint? Thanks. EDIT: YA pb we both got PMI tanks and 12 revys too. ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

If you're front block pressure is low, the Bomb won't seal completely. Mine leaks some of the time, but it still works great and has a wicked short trigger pull. If you have the money, go with the Hollowpoint. I've never seen anybody with the Orracle one, but I heard it's good too. I think that either way you go, you'll be happy. As for an inline regulator, go with the Gladiator. I bought one this spring and I really really like it. At first it had this weird consitency thing going on, but I called MacDev and they helped me fix it in 3 minutes. They had put the seat in upside down or something, so I just flipped it back over. Now I'm + or - 1 on a chronograph. -------------

Thanks, That's what I needed to hear. I jsut can't find a place to get the hollowpoint, so I MAY just buy that used bomb. As for the glad, If there isn't a CP in stock today, I'll buy the glad from canadianpaintball.com ------------- 2k4 Viking SCM, MM JMJ roller trigger WAS 1.6 WAS eyes, WAS switch Dye Minidrop CP on/off |

I recommend the Blonde and Redhead.
And if that lets you down you can always trade in the blonde for 2 brunettes. ------------- RLTW |

I could have bought a hollowpoint, but then decide to get the
bomb... I was in a hurry and we couldn't find the shaft, so I'm
still using my stock one, I chopped 3/4 games (ACtually, I
shortstroke 2 games, and since the balls were big they popped in the
barrel.
