I do not understand why paintball products are so REDICULOUSLY expensive. Some of the things that are just small pieces of plastic cost like 100 bucks. It's so stupid. ------------- Procrastination: Hard work pays off in time, but laziness pays off now |

| tsk tsk tsk. Get a job. Save some money in a paintball fund. It's expensive because thats what the manufactuers want and enough people pay that much already. Not flaming you but seriously its not gonna change so just submit to overpriced goodies!!! |

Its because of manufactoring(sp) cost. Sure, maybe only .10 worth of
plastic is in there, but you have to buy the machines(or pay people,
not so much these days though) to turn that .10 cent piece into say a rocket cockII. |

i agree, paintball is very overpriced. But they will always charge what people are willing to pay

think of it this way, a paintball gun is like a car, you 'll do just fine wit a nice cheap one and it'll get the job done, but if you want to bring out the bling you'll have to spend more. -------------
