The thing is, people where i play have guns that cost up in the thousands. My friend said we should go buy some old pump guns and wipe everyone out. This would hone your skill of shooting, seeing that half the people on other teams go through a hopper every min. I also think that it would be a very interesting and challanging experiance. (by the way, my spelling sucks) -------------

1) If you are playing in the woods, then maybe. 2) If you are all really really really really good, then maybe. 3) If the other guys are really really really really bad, then maybe. 4) If neither 1), 2), or 3) apply, then you will be destroyed and hate every minute. |

lol ya me and a couple of my friends tried that....not that great of an experience. quick game tho lol, but still the difference in ball speed...accuracy...and overall performance of a marker plays a large roll in who will win -------------

you're probably going to get stomped at first, but stick with it and you'll hold your own. ------------- A gun is not a weapon... It's a tool. Like a butcher knife, or a harpoon, or...uh, a...an alligator. |

just make sure it's accurate and comfortable for you to shoot, different people like different styles of pumps.. and some downright suck so watch out. -------------

You people oposing this need to think. A shot every second will hold someone down. A shot every 2 seconds will hold someone down. And it only takes one shot, to get someone out. -------------

[/QUOTE] that's when the counterbunkering comes in. if you're experianced, you can tell exactly what's about to happen, and prepare for it. i love it when i gog someone who is about to bunker me. they never see it coming...... imo, stock class gives you a little advantage due to the lightness and the compacticity of the marker. i love not having a hopper. It's the best feeling ever whenever you get someone out with a timmy using a pump. For me, the feeling is worth it.[/QUOTE] Well said. that is exacly where the one shot comes in. I was pinned down behind a tree by someone w. an A-5. He was movin up and was about 2 foot from me and i ran out of paint. Prally woudnt have happend w. a pump. haha it was awesome though. -------------

Go for it! Don't listen to these guys that are saying the gun and bps is everything. The main thing is have fun, whatever you do and whatever marker you have. I think you can have a lot of fun, and become a better player, with a pump. Team Blowfish plays competativly in the NPPL with pump, but this kid can't play at his local field with one and have a chance? Sure he can! |

Yet another reason im thinkin about it. If we go out their w. pump guns, and get use to them, how easy would it be to win a game with a semi. -------------

Hard initially, but learn to snapshoot with excellent precision and you're set.

We play with tippys where were at and we are thinking about going out and buying some cheap pumps. A lot more challenging but alot more fun. Go for it. ------------- Only Hugh can prevent florist friars. |

I love playing with my pump, regardless of what I'm up against. It's
very challenging when you have to play against a team of paint sprayers
and you're armed with a pump but you learn to be much more efficient
that way. I went a whole day using only about one bag of paint instead
of my normal 2 or 3 and I did some damage still. The biggest difference
is that I wasn't lazy like usual and I made use of every shot instead
of relying on the fact that I could shoot quickly. I had a lot of fun
playing speedball with it too, that was intense. You think you get a
rush playing with a semi? Lol, you don't know what a rush is until you
try speedball with a pump. Find a cheap pump and give it a shot, you
should enjoy it and save some money on paint too.

Here is the thing. I want to get a pump, but i want one that will use a C02 tank, and a regular view loader hopper. I know you dont use much paint, but with as few paintballs as one w.out a hopper will hold, i dont think i would last. The games last too long. If you have seen one let me know. -------------

most pumps can run ca vert feed, just stay away from anything that internally loads a 12gr and you should be good. Stock breeches and 12gr bucket changers can be swapped out piece of cake. If you are just getting into it and don't want to spend a lot, I would suggest a Maverick/Trracer or an SL-68 II. Otherwise you are going to be spending quite a bit more money. If you want to spend over 200 the possibilities really open up and you have tons of choices to make. Might want to check out stockclasspaintball.com they have tons of information and the people are very knowledgable and informative. Good luck. -------------
