So after lending some markers to a couple friends to go paintballing (i did not go, I had the flu), Every marker was returned to me, except for one.  I asked them about it, and they said they did not borrow it.  After extensively searching my entire house, I had not come up with the missing marker.  Disappointed and unsatisfied, I had ceased playing paintball.  This marker was my true pride and joy.  This marker was more durable than a Tippmann.  It was more compact than a Shocker.  It weighed about as much as three brass tubes soldiered together....  After giving my friend one last call last night, I asked if it had turned up.  Surprisingly, he said he had found it and couldn't remember who's it was.  So I went by and picked it up.  After polishing it up, I have it assembled and fully functional.  Without further ado, Styro's PGP2k1.















Specs:
PGP2k1 (bought new in '04)
Palmer's trigger shoe (nickel plated)
Palmer's Speed Gate
Palmer's universal mount
Eraser mod
Polished down to brass
Tape on handles (for grip)

Why do you enjoy playing pump? It's something I've always kinda been interested in, but it being outgunned by a bunch of guys with semis just doesn't sound fun to me.

  I love playing pump.  Sure, it's harder to get eliminations, but the satisfaction is much greater.  Not to mention, it fits my financial needs right now.  I also like the fact there is far less to carry, and agility is greatly improved.

The original cap that kept the paint from rolling out of the front broke and got lost.  The zip-tie is more or less a temporary fix.  It works, but I would rather have something that wouldn't snap if taken a shot to.  Lets face it, we all get hit.

Nice looking gun.
