well i think i am getting a new gun and right now i have a tippmann modle 98 and i was thinking of getting an mini mag or bush master 2000 witch one do you guys prefer i would get an auto cocker but my brothers timing is always messed up

I got a spyder compact java edition, its nothin special but im going to be getting a freak barrel soon. but seriously, i would go with the bushmaster, I hear autocockers are really hard to get the right timing but they look better. You cant go wrong with a bushmaster though.

I used to play but i quit cause i started racing last year. I am sellign my new gun i got at the end of last season.


I have a Spyder Xtra with a Aftermarket Bolt. It has bottom Line,expansion chamber and drop forward. It is a sweet gun adn i can shoot fast as almost any normal cockers. Even the guys at the feild i play are amazed how fast it can shoot on not break balls.


I am sellign with a 16oz tank(used once) 2 hoppers,a 3 pod carrier adn like 7 pods. I hvae all cleaning Supplies and i haev cleaned the gun throughly after both times i used it.

I bought it at the end of last season and i only used it 2 times. I only have shot a 2000 case of balls outta it.No more No Less. It has been in original box in my room ever since last year,last tiem i played. I am sellign to get part for my quad. I am willign to sell everythign i have with gun for 125+shipping. The gun now goes for 152.95 on most sites. It has been used 2 times adn cleaned boths times. I can;t reiterate how good of condition it is in. Pm me if interested i will let ya know everyhting i have with it.

i play paintball.... i have 2 guns, Spyder SE, TL plus, and a Rainmaker with an ACI 13.5 inch zero gravity barrel.... if i were you i would go with the cocker... timing is an issue... but it is by far the straightest shooting gun ive ever played against.... bushmaster is ok but id get an impulse or a tribal over the bushmaster... just my personal preferance.

i play some mostly speedball but not as much as i used to cause i started racing i have a spyder tl plus with many silver parts that have been grinded i cut the top of my gun in half like where the cocker goes in at and cut the cocker so it looks tight i also grinded the whole trigger frame and grinded several parts it looks pretty good i gota get some pictures

I played with this kid that had a wgp cocker and he kept having to mess with the timing.
thats just my opinion

get a AMG they are good guns for the money i say either a AMG or a impulse unless you play in tournys but word is they outlawed elctronic trigger frames in tournys but i say impulse or amg or heck if you even have the money get a angel haha dont forget go nitro or go home

Hey everyone. I own an 01 cocker. I have to say that it is truly the best gun I have owned. I think it is the best gun out there for the money IF you have it timed CORRECTLY when you first get it by a trained WGP airsmith and then DON'T mess with it. I have heard alot of people having trouble with them as soon as they start jiggleing with the timing. I also have 14 inch boomstick and 12vhopper. Would like to get hooked up with HPA but haven't done so yet. Go with the cocker, if you want a great value entry level tournement gun. Just my two cents!!:D

The cost of equipment isnt cheap for high quality stuff. But the most expensive thing is....PAINT!!!
I spent over $100 everytime I played ($97 for one case of paint, you are forced to buy only field paint at most places).
But whatever ya do, dont think being a "sniper" is kewl

yah if I ever start it will be when i get my quad done or we sell some stuff and just buy a fully built 400ex or 250r then i'll pry get into it. I don't think i'd like the tournies and stuff as much but just going out with friends in a forrest or by a abandoned bridge and playing games

It all starts with the woods. Then you get addicted to the rush (addrenalin) of the game. The speedball and tournies are all you'll wana do cuz its so fast, its gets ya thinkin, and Its a freakin rush! Just talking about it makes me wana go out and buy a custom Cobra Mamba IR3 Angel ($1700).
but anyway, buy a gun and equipment (pm me and I'll set ya up) if ya ever get some extra $$$

you say your looking for a freak i've got a brand spanking new one that was used three times it is the total system plus it has the stainless steel back a 16" front for woods play and a 10" for speed ball i am asking 130 for it i orignally payed 220 for it, and yes the kit only cost 184 but remember it has an extra front and also the stainless back which adds up and yes it's for a spyder or spyder clone just pm me if you interested i also have a jt gear sack that i want to sell and the jt speed system with the collar four pods and the harness to go around your waist everything is in mint shape just make me an offer, i have no guns i already sold them, i sold a bushmaster 2000 that i sold for 1200 that was a complete custom there was none other like it and i sold an aka merlin mini cocker (sweetest gun i ever owned) and a sypder shutter that couldn't be classifed as a shutter cause it looked nothing like a shutter, now that i look back i think it was stupid how much mone i dumped into paintball. oh well

Yes it is dumb. The main reson for it is to guard a rear position. Anymore being a sniper in paintball is being a back player. I guess I play back untill I know it is secure then move to front. No more of that crap for me once I get an E-99:D.

Hey bro....ur in Lexington area right? The group i do most of my riding with do a good bit of paintballing too. Its a little bit of a drive, but here in Florence (actually Crittenden), the paintball place (bout 100 acres) also allows us to ride our quads and make trails. They're also now allowing a harescramble track to be built on the property. Best of both worlds. Lemme know if you or anyone is interested in this.

stocktires
09-19-2002, 05:24 PM
Michael is right, big slow guys play back and shot a he!! of alota paint!!! Probably about 1000-1500 rounds per game (5-10 man). You always need a back man, or more than 1 if its more than 3 man. Thats you cover, not sniper (I hate that word, its so gay)
If I were gonna buy a low buck electro, I'd get a Black dragun or EM1 make sure you've got atleast a 12volt (x-board would be better) revy.
I might buy a Dragun if I come across a lil cash. Another Angel is a long ways away for me :(

Paintball is all about oppinion. Basicaly, get whaever gun u want. I have a spyder classic, then i moved up to the autococker. I love my autococker. Timing isnt that big of an issue. I have a couple of great sites that will tell you exactally how to get perfect timing. But ever since i got my 400, i havent touched my gun. I am just in love with quads i guess.:devil

lol i'm from central iowa, so its kinda a long drive but thanks anyways. But the reason it would be so long is i'm not gonna go buy some cheap gun and then work up to a 200 doller gun to another gun later. I wanna buy one good gun off the bat so I don't waste my money.

Good idea nausty, but you'll always want a better gun.
start with a nice spyder or a black dragun (NOT tippmann), those are the best guns for newb's. There simple, easy to clean and maintain and shoot good and are reliable.

09-19-2002, 11:57 PM
I main reason we need a back player where I play is because we play in natural terrain. We drive up in the woods and just pick a spot. Most of the time I have the team form a shallow V and follow them a ways back. And no i'm not fat, one of the complaints from my friends is i'm to damn short to see crawling through the brush.

I like the e-99 over the em1 and black dragun for one big reason....price. The E-99 only cost $230. It has 4 fire modes: semi, 3 rd burst, 6 rd burst, and fully auto. The E-99 is basicly an electro Shutter is what the owner of the local pro shop told me.

yes i play paintball also. i dont have a good quad, but i have a good gun at least. lol. i have a nasty impulse ($624.95) from www.paintballwholesalers.com with a black to dark blue fade ($75) 12 revy ($55) toxic dropfoward ($30) ans gen x-2 reg ($110) and a crossfire 68 ci/ 4500 psi nitro tank (210). and a dye tank cover ($20). thats a total of $1,095 dollars. lol. i enjoy playing mid player mostly, but occasionally ill play tape, or back player in speedball. i recently played in a tournament with my brother and friend in a three man tourny im maryland. btw i saw some red 400ex with an exhaust riding there jumping with a bike nearby if that was ne1 here. a impulse is a good mid starting person gun. i would reccomend it for a semi-serious speedball paintball player. it is better than a spyder with a grip in my opinion, but thats just me. my .020234 lol

I played paintball for a while. I never could have imagined doing anything else, but that all changed when I started getting into quads. When I decided to quit I had an Angel with A.I.R. and all that good stuff. I kinda hated to see it all go but that changed when my 400 got loaded into the back of the truck at the dealer. Ive thought about getting back into it but I couldnt see myself dumping huge amounts of money into anything but my 400.

cockers can be some bad mo-fo's! I've seen some set-up to where when the bolt is coming back in the breech to drop another ball it actually sucks the ball into the breech, instead of just letting it drop in.
Talk about never choping! Cockers arent simple guns, and they require a person with alot of knowhow on them to be reliable guns.
But Im spoiled and will never buy anything but an Angel again :D

IMPULSE = Poor man's angel, great gun, but SP does have a few lemon Imps. The vision eye is tiiight, get a new one if you get an Imp, cuz an order Impy will have the older vision eye, the new ones are much nicer! They're tall guns though and makes it kinda hard to play tight if you play front, its a perfect gun for a mid player!

stocktires, an impulse can be a great front man gun once it recieves the following... a low rise, and a vertical reg.
i have the vert reg and enjoy playing mid/front with my nasty impulse. the only bad thing about them is that they do not compare to a pimp autococker in woods (u cant beat the long shooting, accurate cocker... that is when they're working) the imps dont shoot accurately from long range, or shooting from far away.

Yes, very tru, I cant remember but there was a reason mounting a low-rise on an Imp was kinda a bad Idea, was it that only 3 balls stacked up? I Cant remember cuz its been so long since I wanted an Impy.
Its a stacked tube gun, so even with a lowrise and a CP razor drop with a 68/4500 (my fav-setup! its still wont be considered very short (I HATE stacked tube).
They don't compare to an Angel either...

stocktires, although you only have 3 balls in the chamber which i believe is the correct amount, a 12revy or higher will shoot the balls in fast enough most of the time. although u have to worry a little bit more about chopping, it is worth it when you can creep up in a tight bunker and snap a shot out at someone where you would normally get nailed in the hopper. oo and that angels cant compare, i dont believe that is completely true... for what u pay for, an imp is a great gun starting at a little less than 400... ok know angels begin at a little less than a grand and range well into the thousands (a couple grand at least) so when you compare the two, the imp is just as good of gun for the price... know i have a friend who recieved a brand new angel that was two grand... he tried out his gun obviously, and then mine. he honestly felt that mine was very similar in performance but mine is a pretty expensive imp (about a grand all together)
