Allright so since im a cool guy im looking to buy 2 pistols, Thats correct 2, Since I was 4 ive allways had 2 handguns and im used to it and trust me I can shoot two things at a time and so my local pro-shop only carrys Delta 68's and it seems that most of the hand guns are pretty close to the same. I want a fast and easy reload and reliable gun. A Zues G2 I was looking at aswell but I would have to order it. I will probably let freinds use one if they would like but I would keep both on me and use them as much as I could. Im also looking to get them in black and silver (Delta 68's come in both colors) and im naming them Ebony and Ivory, yes its from Devil may cry but it also means black and white or somthing like that. I play speed more than bush but I also play bush as much as I can. -------------

Whats so good about the Zues though? because I can't find anywhere in canada that has them, well maybe the dudes at my place will order a couple for me....And another thing is how heavy they are, Im no weakling but face it using somthing in both hands is nice to have light but I guess I sometimes try to use my A-5 with one hand....Not so good accuratsy... -------------

I doubt you would ever be able to play like that against people with a normal marker but if you could you would be a total bad |

| If you can only get the Deltas, they are still fairly good pistols. |

| Zues G2's are the way to go for pistols. Though they are a bit different than using a normal marker and pose a challenge, but they are still cool. |

PT Extreme cannot compare to the Zeus. The mods you can do to the Zeus are amazing! The only real draw backs to a pistol are the lack of ammo. But for scenario games and indoor ball they are great.
Lots of times our woods-ball team play scenarios that limit the amount of ammo you can have in a hopper. Example, we play a scenario that you can only have 10 rounds on you. Then when you shoot someone out you can take whatever ammo they have left. We also stratigicaly place baggies of 10 rounds in the area we play in. This forces the players to aim and shoot instead of "spray and pray". And teaches them to conserve ammo. -------------

Why not just by a pump for those advantages? For the $400 a pair of those will cost, you could get a single marker that would be more effective. They do look cool though and I am sure they have a place in senario play and mischief. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

| Zues WSP , just like G2 only has a blowback slide, and has a quick-cap(i think thats wut its called) loader for fast loading, they are badass |
Posted By: Ace. Canuck
Date Posted: 03 August 2005 at 8:50pm
Well I am as good as I say  And I hate pumps, I gota A-5 and now I want my signature style, Two kickass pistols. And yeah I was looking at the WSP so its like a g2 but with blow back? thats intense. And with the quick cap is it quite easy to reload? I know I can get 10 round pods so some how dump them in that tiny clip....-------------

Hey Canuck, I've got an Ariakon Overlord that I ordered from
paintballgear.ca a while ago. They ship out of BC, with free shipping
over $100. The Overlord is awesome; it comes stock with a Delrin
bolt, has the fastest swapping magazine (though the Ariakon Combat
Pistol 2 will have an even faster one), and has great CO2 efficiency.
It's about $155 Candian from paintballgear.ca; they tend to have the
best prices on this. I'd highly reccommend it. Zeus's can be hard to
find in Canada.

Your going to have to master the one handed reloading, because if you empty them at the same time you will really be caught with your pants down. What types of games do you plan on playing with these pistols? Everything, as if it was a conventional marker? Good luck, that would definetely stick out on the field. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Stick out as in there will be no one else on the field running around with dual pistols. I thought your intention was to have one in each hand and thats why you want 2 pistols. Which means you would have to work something out for reloading. Since they don't get hot you can use the behind the knee technique to hold it maybe. You will have to practice fast one handed reloads because 20 rounds will go fast when everyone else has 200. Find a holster on here and see if it will work with your marker with some modification: http://www.uncle-mikes.com/ - http://www.uncle-mikes.com/ Although, I go to a holster shop in my city that has old Cuban leather workers that mold the holster to the pistol and your body. A professionally tailored holster > any out of box holster. Although, kydex wouldn't stain from paint like leather does. *Edit: Also, it is more difficult to hold a pistol still since you cannot shoulder it, they have a crappy short sight radius (distance between front and rear sight) and people are usually relatively very poor shots with them, even after months of practice when compared to carbines or rifles. The laser will help but you shouldn't use it to avoid damaging other players eyes and telegraphing your position before you shoot. You can see the beam if your looking towards the source (Tyndall effect). The normal markers you'll play against are "carbine" size and more aimable. You will have to spend some time practicing the long shots with your pistols, since you only have 10 rounds in each right? Small margin for missing your target before your out of play to reload. Only hunting and blackpowder guns in Canada right? So since your 14 and Canadian you don't have any real practical pistol practice unless I'm wrong. Practice makes perfect... steady hands are tough with the adrenaline going. I hope the best of luck for you, since I don't think it is the most tacticaly sound equipment, you have your work cut out for you in a game. ------------- Think and give them all you have from the beginning, and never weaken! |

Arikon has the ACP pistol, and apparently an overlord. Go to their website and ask around. I asked the same question over there but ended up with a Phantom (pump gun) and much happier.
