I finally found a gun I love, my F8. I haven't been able to play much because of 2 broken ankles since I bought it(3total).
I found out tonight that since I've been out, the only local PB shop closed. The nearest one is about 50 minutes away and it's a field that attached to a somewhat-amusement park, so it's super over-priced. That leaves me with Dicks Sporting Goods and no HPA fills unless I find a scuba shop. So my 3 HPA tanks will soon be useless unless I go to a field that's a long ride away..., this leaves CO2. What guns do you guys suggest? I'm not really into tippmanns, and I guess spyders are fine. I'm thinking about a Classic Mag with either a Hyper Frame or rig up a spyder frame. I'm super bummed. Suggestions? -------------

I tried CO2 in my Classic and it didnt really like it much. Especially if you get a hyperframe. I am surprised that living around Cleveland, you don't have more choices. How far are you from Akron/Hubbard area? There is an awesome field there called Battlefront.. I guess I don't feel so bad now. I live in a little po-dunk town and have to drive 45 minutes to Fort Wayne to get fills. Was always jealous of you city slickers. lol.
Have you tried http://www.pbreview.com - www.pbreview.com to see if there are any other close fields? ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

I'm in a suburb of Cleveland, and there used to be quite a few around, just not anymore. And I'm fairly far from Akron. Definitely not worth the drive just for HPA.
I'm bummed, haha. I've always wanted to try pump, but, I wanted the pump to be a spare... -------------

Well that sucks, sorry. Don't the fields where you play have HPA? Or do you mainly play renegade? I know everyone hates on SP, but they do run on CO2.. Also I was thinking about it and I can;t remember if the Lvl 10 bolt is compatible with CO2. It could have been the problem. Good luck. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

We have a lot of land and a friend of mine has an airball field.
Hmm, I did like the feel of my friend's old Ion with CP trigger. Of course, that is the gun that had a CO2 tank so frosted and cold that the one kid licked it and it kept part of his tongue... -------------

Really? I thought classics ran with CO2, bummer. Even with a Palmers?
I may look into a cocker. I've always thought they were interesting. -------------

Ive ran my classic with C02, but it never liked it. Never tried it with a palmers. I would definitely NOT want to run C02 with a hyperframe, unless you control your shooting.. -------------
