It's all personal preference. Too me it's just a waste of money. But if you think that you would have fun with one then get one. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

I hear that they are way fun to shoot and are easy to use. I say yes. At my field there is a close quarters indoor speedball/hyperball field where its just bunkering everyone and the guys with pistols do best. ------------- My guns name is Mr. Max in remembrance of my dog that got hit by a car: Tippmann A-5 Ricochet R-5 JCS double Trigger Tippmann E-Grip Flatline Barrel Do you have the need for speed? |

Not worth it, the ONLY time it would ever be worth it is if your gun breaks in a game and I have never had that happen. |

for use as a primary marker, definately... for a backup, probably not. ------------- A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator. |

yes definately in seniro games, you might run out of primary ammo in the middle of a fire fight and then you have your trusty back-up sidearm. (see link bellow)

If you like scenarios then I would say yes. I have a crappy one that I
got cheap ($45 for a PT Xtreme was a good deal) and there were a few
situations where I found myself looking to use the pistol rather than
my A5. I usually use it for suicide runs where I need to move quick
while taking a few shots or if I'm in the middle of a big fight and I
run out of ammo. In that case I'd use the pistol to help me get out of
the fighting. I have also played a few pistols only games and those
were really fun. If you're not into woodsball or scenarios then I would
definitely advise against it but otherwise I would pick one up just to
mess around with. My PT Xtreme is Xtremely crappy so I wouldn't
recommend getting that one but I hear the Zeus series by armotech is
good. ------------- oreomann33: Everybody invades Poland Rofl_Mao: And everyone eats turkey Me: But only if they're hungary Mack: Yeah but hungary people go russian through their food and end up with greece on everyth |

Pistols look cool but only get one if you really want one otherwise you will be unhappy

| If others were playing with pistols too, then sure. Otherwise, I'd get pods and just refill. |

get a delta 68 soooooo much fun plus if you need to scare the crap out of sum 1 its perfect (you know buy it black put c02 in it no paint and dry fire scaredmy friend when i first got one)its totally practicall in a game put your gun down or on your back if you have a sling and rush them with the pistol its easier cause its lighter and smaller ------------- Gamertag: Kataklysm999

My friend has a delta 68 and has had some serious problems with leaks
so you might want to search for a bunch of reviews to see if that's
common. My PT Xtreme leaked at first but I fixed it by adjusting the
CO2 holder so it would press the 12 gram harder (little adjuster by the
lever), I don't know if the delta 68 has that or if that would fix it
though. If the delta is the same price as a zeus though, I would go
with the zeus. I don't think I've heard anything bad about them yet and
they've been around for a while.
