/\ umm....sorry, its just whenever i read about the markers they never say if they use Co2 or N2...u know? Thats all, i was reading specs for the trix and the only thing i don't like about it so far is how long the feed neck is. but whatever i guess i could just cut down the hopper i bit... ------------- "According to Sue Johanson, theres nothing that can increase your manhood, trust me I've already looked into it for myself." -Zata |

Buy a pump, save all that money and use it for paint. Work on your game and get the fundamentals down cold. Then move up to a higher rate of fire marker. We have to learn to walk before we can run.

i think you should just go for it, i never *Actually* shot a matrix, i mean with nitro and paint, but i have held one a walked it a bit. Weight is resonable, the trigger is Pimp! the trigger is really nice, in my words i think the trigger is better then the dm4, Super Light! really easy to walk even for newbs. I dont know for sure but i heard that the matrix really suck on gas(gas hog) and that you have to get like a regulator or something to get it efficient? i dunno never used a matrix but i have use a dm4 and those are gas hogs, but there still beasts! so the matrix wont be much off. just get a nitro tank off ebay and your all good =) and besides all that, ITS DYE! -------------

Hey Badger, if some one owns at top of the line electro or mechanical marker(E-blade,timmy,Matrix, whatever) and they are just horrible paintball players, don't you think it might be possible own them all day long??? The gun doesn't matter.The gun doesn't make the player! Don't you see that? Your little sister should have made that clear to you! I watched a buddy of mine pin down a cocker, an angel, and an A-5 with a Brass Eagle Talon w/ a 10 round stick feeder running on 12 grams! He used manuever and precise fire to keep these three behind cover long enough for us to flank and eliminate them. It all comes down to you. ------------- Lady...

true that it all bout the player and not the gun but if it was two people with the same skill and one had an angel and one had an talon of course the percentage of that the angel guy would win is a lot higher then the talon guy its all bout common sense of couse 31 bps would punish a like 1 bps gun, also talons are the most undurable guns..... whoevers sister got lucky that her gun didnt break in the middle of the game.... Also the point of a fast gun is to keep someone pinned down behind a bunker so a teamate can advance on the field or for you to bunker the person also there a better chance to hit someone when the person is running with 31 bps compare to a 4 bps gun am i right. Its true it only need one paintball to get someone out, but there are other useful need for a fast gun. -------------

ok once again i need to tell people this THE TRIGLOY SERIES ARE NOT THE 05 COCKERS. THERE CHEAPER STARTER COCKERS SO THAT WGP CAN GET IN THE STARTER MARKET. THEY ARE NOT REPLACMENETS FOR THE 04 VERT FEED. Gezz its driving me nuts. anyway back on topic. Now dude i mean no offense here but if u dont know that high end guns require nitro, that probally means you may not take care of it right because ur semi new. I would suggest u bank that money, play for a couple more months and when u get to the point that u feel that u could compete in tournys if u had a better gun, then get the matrix becuase its nice gun. ------------- http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v467/paintballa01/d58a8ce5 .gif Angel Ir3 Cp barrel kit A4 board Cobra trigger |

I've read stories about snipers in Vietnam (one 1 Guy, mind you!) that have pinned down entire companies of troops with precise and accurate fire. ONE SHOT AT A TIME! 31 BPS?...sure, one hits me and the others are bonus balls! More than three hits and you're out and I'm still in the game. Okay!, fire away. I can eliminate you from a game without having to fire a single shot at you! SWEET! ------------- Lady... I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you to leave the store. |
