Well picked up myself a New pump gun (Empires remake of the Classic PMI/ACI Trracer/mavric) should be trying it out a bit tomorrow at the local Big game. Wanted to get myself a decent cheap open class pump again as i miss my Phantom some times and the PGP although a hoot to use is hard to run when playing with too many people (the whole never piss off seven people when ya carrying a six shooter deal) . Looked at the SL68II and the azodine fp but liked the autococker threads (share barrels with my Automag) and simplicity of the good old trracer (pluse its old school even if its new so fits in best with my all old school fleet (all of witch i purchased new) But anyways Figured id post up some pics of my Fleet with the pics of the new beast. First up a fleet pic minus the new addition.  Closer up to my old carbine. Still in my books Tippmanns best marker i love shooting this beast and apperently so does my younger sister she has claimed it HERS now LOL. It does have a 14"J&J ceramic barrel but no pics with that on it pluse looks so good with the stock X7 barrel.  My old faithfull AGD 68 automag classic. Loved this gun form day one. upgraded with a rt on/off a ULE body and a 14" Proto barrel thats been working great. Still have my stainless body and twist lock stuff but decided to try something from at least the last decade LOL.  And the new beast loving the look and feel will report on how she works tomorrow after the big game.  ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |

That bottom rail on the pump handle is just begging for a vertical grip.

Nice collection there. Im just not a fan of having to shove a rod down the barrel to adjust the velocity on the new generation trracer -------------

Well back for my gun review a bit late LOL. My OTHER hobby (motorcycles) just swallowed a bunch of time and $$$$. I absolulty love the Trracer. Great accuracy, pretty smooth pump stroke, auto trigger works in a pinch and its just a fun shooter. Some things id like to change though. As mentioned that pump handle will work well with a vert grip, two i think i want a red dot sight for a good refferance as the stock sights a bit too low to see with a nitro tank and a mask on. Other than that everything performed better than expected and to be honest the down the barrel velocity adjustment is kinda nostagic to me (my first gun was the same way) and kinda cool garners some odd looks from the younger crowd. As for my first BIG game. There were points that were amazingly fun but it could have been a bit better organized. But mostly it was spoiled by poor sportsmanship (alot of people shooting WAY hot) and constant wiping. But over all was a fun day and the feild was very challenging. ------------- AGD 68 Automag Azodin KPII Sheridan PGP2K Tippmann Crossover XVR Tippmann ProCarbine Tippmann SL68-II Tippmann TiPX |
