OMG! I am yet to see -PREDATOR- make an inteligent comment. The internals are what make the gun perform up to its fullest potential. Looks are not nearly as important. I don't know how many times I have to, or other people have to tell u this, don't make idiodic posts just to raise your post count. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Trigger Flatline (woodsball only) 14" Ultralite Car Stock (woodsball only) R-T (not installed) Shocktech Gas-thru Grip Macro-Line NW Drop Forward 68/4500 Nitro Duck Xstream |

A 68/4500 with some internal work will give you more shots than a 20oz. I can get about 1750 10 1800 on mine with polished internals, alum power tube and front bolt, lighter rear spring etc. With and RT, that will drop by 150 to 200 shots. I don't care how my marker looks, as long as I know that it is shooting well, that is all that matters to me. Laters and keep up the good work. ------------- aschiley36 aka: The_Weakest_Link |

good start.......88/4500 is great..it worked good for me. Also i believe get some performance parts and try to make it look good at the same time. thats the best thing you can do. ------------- http://www.theimagehosting.com">

You shoud care more about performance than looks. I suggest you ad a star bolt.

| where did u get your shocktech bolt from? oh and every one is askin how many shots they get out of a tank. shot equation is: for 3000psi tank: ci/cu x 10. for 4500psi tank: ci/cu x 15. just plug in the ci/cu vlue and mulitply by those numbers and u get yur shots per tank. |
