First time i've posted a picture, hopefully it will work. http://img284.imageshack.us/my.php?image=paintball0021wy.jpg"> So, yes, I am running CO2 as of now, but am looking into HPA as soon as I can put some money down for it. I know the drop is huge too, and lots of people dont like huge drops, but i like the balance, and it kinda matches the color scheme. Also, the grips are smoke, but the pictures kinda make them look darker than in real life. Tell me what you think!!! ----Forgot to say, the barrel on in this pic is a 14" whisper, it works for now. Will look into something a bit better later, along w/ the HPA.

Well, its a richochet on the cyclone, i figured it's better than the bullseye flat front on the stock cyclone hopper. The Richochet one is a bit louder, when the paint moves around, but its not a big deal really. ------------- Custom Paintjob, Polished Internals, Pen Spring, Cyclone Feed, Richochet Hopper, X-Chamber, Promark Trigger, Dye Sticky3s, Stainless Bolts, RocketCock, DOP Drop Forward, 14" Whisper Barrel |

So far so good. You chould consider a LAPCO Bigshot if you plan on sticking with 1 piece barrels. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |

Cexiness... Also, dude... Don't worry about getting HPA, your Tippmann doesn't care what gas it runs off since you have a Expansion Chamber, the only time your Tippmann will hate C02 is when its below Freezing Tempratures. -------------

Thanks for all the positive remarks. Its the first paintjob i've put on a marker, so it makes me feel confident to maybe do some more in the future. It started out as silver from tippmann, and once I put the black ex. chamber on, it seemed like a black---->silver fade was fitting. Once I start playing some more, hopefully I can try out some barrels and find one that fits my play. The LAPCO does seem to work out well for most people, but there are lots of good barrels out there!

PIMPIN, i know exactly how you feel. I looked through TONS of pictures to try and figure out what color(s) i wanted to paint my 98, and saw none that were black/silver like I wanted to paint mine. The day I stripped all the paint off, i saw a picture of exactly what i was planning to do... grrr. It almost made me change my mind, but i didn't. The good thing for you is, look at your gun, then look at mine. Mine really can't compete... sweet work. ------------- Custom Paintjob, Polished Internals, Pen Spring, Cyclone Feed, Richochet Hopper, X-Chamber, Promark Trigger, Dye Sticky3s, Stainless Bolts, RocketCock, DOP Drop Forward, 14" Whisper Barrel |

Weatherproof vs. more BPS.... the everlasting battle I think white would look pretty cool.

Yes, that front flat part is a bull's eye, and at least one person hits it when I go for an outing. Im just going to do them a favor and draw a target on it. -------------
