Ok I have posted this before but this time my budget for a new marker has dropped. Im only going to have around 350 dollars to spend in a new marker. I really dont want to go over my budget, im looking for a gun thats light and fast. Something I can use for speedball but also take out on woodsball. Also I wont be able to upgrade for a while. I will probably be able to upgrade 1 thing on my new gun. Either a new barrel or new hopper. If anyone has any suggestions please post. Thanks ------------- Set Up A-5 R/T Flatline Double Trigger X Chamber |

If $350 is your gun-only budget, and you don't have nitro at this time, I'd say AutoMag. With the ULE body, they're light, they're fast right out of the box, and with that body, they'll take Cocker barrels. Good upgrade path with them, too. ------------- http://www.geocities.com/limitedpump - Limited Pump Paintball |

An A5 is probably your best bet. Any other marker and you'll realisticly need to spend $60 on the hopper alone. For speedball, look into the firepower upgrades like the R/T and the Double Trigger. ------------- "If you make it idiot proof, they'll make a better idiot." http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=125287&PN=1&TPN=1 - REQUIRED READING |

A5 would be great for woods and just ok for spedball but I don't
think you should look into the Response Trigger. Some fields prohibit it and most tourneys prohibit it too. But if you using it just for practice on speedballl fields then its all good. my #1 suggestion at an upgrade would be the barrel........A5 stock barrel  sucks ------------- One shot , one kill .....then pass the dutch for the victory dance! |

^^^ Really? Interesting... I knew the E-grip was prohibited, but I thought the R/T was allowed in most places. ------------- "If you make it idiot proof, they'll make a better idiot." http://www.tippmann.com/players/forum/wwf77a/forum_posts.asp?TID=125287&PN=1&TPN=1 - REQUIRED READING |

Well I already have an A-5. Its a great gun but when fully upgraded That thing weights around 10 lbs. Which is hard to run with when ur playing. Its like carrying an extra arm or something. ------------- Set Up A-5 R/T Flatline Double Trigger X Chamber |

| Get an a-5 with a r/t and put whatever money is left over into a new barrel. A-5's work good in speedball and woodsball. |

| Wit $350 I would recommend you switch from co2 to HPA (Crossfire 68/3000-72/3000 or 68/4500-72/4500 prices range between $160 to $190) and wit the rest, use the money fer the paint, field and food. |

Umm.. how fast does a mech 03 cocker shoot right out the box? ------------- Set Up A-5 R/T Flatline Double Trigger X Chamber |

Errr...other way around. Too many people can tweak their RT's to F/A-like bounce. That's why tourneys and most fields ban it. With the E-Grip, it's easier to tell what firing mode someone is on. |

tippmanns, cockers, and slingshots blow. You will be replacing soon if you get one of those. Dragons suck too.

guess waht guys, he already has an A5 he doesnt need antoher... but anyway definately a cocker over the others. I like BKO because there cool and fast, but you will definately need a fast hopper (probably and egg at least)$70 and nitro which will be like anywhere between $70-$200 depending on what size and thats way over $350 so i would get the mech cocker and a hopper. You'll probably be able to get around 7-9 bps on it maybe a little more. Noway should you get a T1 they seem nice now but when you are stuck fixing it and not playing it wont. -------------
