I love it. I have got a M98 custom. Good gun! Me and my friends usually divide up teams and play some capture the flag. Its a blast.

 

i have a pump paintball gun and i love it, i get togather with some guys and have wars every now and then, great pass time.

 

I love it! I have a 2002 WGP Autococker with a 45/40(??) aci tank with the bulldog regulator on it ive got all stock stuff on my gun though, but i wanna make my own huge drop but i need a longer bottom line. A macro line would be better though. I'd also like a new barrel. The local store, Official Paintball Games of Texas, marketed there own barrel called the hammerhead and its great, but expesive, so I;m lookin at cheaper stuff. I've just got a 3pod pack made by pmi and I only have 100round pods
Paint is too expensive anyways, so I dont shoot as much with the smaller pods, I guess its a pshychological thing. I dont know. Anyone in the Dallas area like to play? I like Official Paintball's feild and Fprt paintball. Anyone else? We should have Team Ford and play tournaments and drive to the feild in our trucks .

 

Do you have an Academy Sports near you?
3,000 paintballs for $30.
Hard to beat that!

 

Acadamy paint is cheap for a reason though, its not round. I had to use it once in my cocker and it was extremely unaccurate.
Ford 51, I love Official Paintball of Dallas its a great place to play and my cousin used to play for their team so I got to know the owner pretty well. Havent been up there in about a year. I got my Redz 7+3 from Official Paintball in Garland lol.

 

I used to play all the time about 12 or so years ago before anyone really knew what it was. I went to quite a few national tournaments with a local team and we did farely well. My last gun was an automag. I got it when it first came out so you know how long ago that was. I started out with a PMI tracer. NIce reliable pump gun. Great back up gun for when the semi went down.

 

i play every once in a while. im gunna try to get more serious about playin this summer. i have a Tippman 98 Custom right now. nice gun, easy to use, never had a problem with it at all. hard to beat it for all the accessories u can get for em. kind of a spendy sport...but its still fun.

 

Tippmans are very reliable, thats why most of the fields use them as rentals cause they never break lol. I used a Tippman Flatline once and it is scary accurate, I liked it, still love my Impulse though! Ya over the last few years there has been ALOT of upgrades for Tippman, electro trigger with burst and auto funcions and stuff like that. Ya it is a spendy sport but you gotta admit, its deff worth the money if you have a bad day

 

I hate my paintball gun, its a pirahna with an expansion chamber, venturi bolt, smart parts barrel, the thing couldnt shoot a paintball strait if it had to. Maybe i need to get some new paint though. I use the diablo blaze. I could seriously shoot around a corner. Thats how bad it is, i love playing, but i hate it alot, i love it when my gun works, but i hate it, cause my gun rarely ever works, i shoot like 3 ***** which fly out in wierd directions, then 1 breaks, then every ball after that breaks, and i give up.

 

Your might be buying paint thats too small. From your set up it dont sound like you should be choppin paint too much. Paint that dont match your barrel (too small) wont be accurate at all. Air escapes around the ball while its going down the barrel and can cause it to go all over the place. Next time you go to buy paint take your barrel up there (a paintball shop not wal mart or acadamy) and open a bag up of the paint you want and put a ball in the beggining of the barrel. If it falls through its way too small. It should say in the barrel by itsself. If it does, put it up to your mouth and blow on it firmly (if that makes sense) and it should pop out rather quickly. If it seems hard to get out and you have to blow on it over and over its too big. What happens with small paint is that when it comes through the elbow and into the gun infront of your bolt, itll let another ball in just enough for it to catch the bolt and chop. Also when your paint is too small, while its going down the barrel so much air will be going around it that it will cause it to start bouncing off the inside edges of the barrel just enough to break. So now you have paint in there and its so clogged up that sometimes you will just start choppin more paint. What you can do though if you dont carry a squejy, turn your gun upside down and fire into the bunker and that will get some paint out, then start firing normal and the paintballs will clean out the rest eventually. If you want another gun all together though, get an Impulse or if your donw have the money for one of those get a Flatline tippman. If you dont already know about what the Flatline does, the barrel starts out flat then curves up a little then flattens out agian, that puts a backspin on the ball and its extremely accurate.

 

Most of you play with 100 dollar plus guns and special euipment. The last time a played we rented our guns and played a place called the boondocks, where we got creamed by a bunch of 13 14 year old kids. That real embarssing

 

I play but I always rented. You get much better with time.

 

LOL thats happened to me too. Never underestimate the younger ones. Some of them have good guns and know how to use their skills to make their gun perform the best. What gets me is th young kids with Angels and Impulses and Shockers and Cockers but dont know how to use them. The gun doesnt make the player. It was 4 years before I got my first Cocker then I got my Impulse I love it.

 

Thanks for the reply wezol5484 , the paint seemed to work ok with the stock barrel, but still unacurate, so it might just be the size. I might try the stock barrel just to see what happens, thanks for the tips

 

Not a problem. Any more questions and Id be glad to answer if I can. If I remember right smartparts barrels are more or less a smaller bore. You might try PMI El Tigre paint or Marballizer. Both are good paint and you wont find it at walmart. Now its been a while so dont quote me on these lol.
