[DragonTamer 13]

damn! $11,200?!?!?!?!? the pricyest gun i ever saw was only $1,450

[jinx]

gun: $11,200

Complete and utter bull****.

Gear:
Gun - Smart Parts Impulse Rat - 525
Hopper - Viewloaded 12v Revolution - 30
Paint - Case of Diablo Blaze - 60
Nitrogen - Bulldog Nitro - 249
Mask - JT Nvader (need better one) - 20
Barrel - Smart Parts Freak Barrel - 120
Plus all the little accessories

That's that's just one gun. And I'm still working on it.

Note that I also play alot, more than you all probably do.

And yes, I've spent alot more than 1000 dollars.

[Prodigy]

Yeah thats a lie. There is no way possible any gun could cost 11,200. Anyways:
Gun: Tipmann A5 with E-Grip (http://www.tippmann.com/systems/image/egrip/egrip.jpg), A-5 Solid Stock (http://www.tippmann.com/proshop/image/psitems/a5stock.jpg), - 540 Dollars
Hopper: Ricochet 2000 - 85 Dollars (Not what i use on my A5 but the one I do use on other guns)
Paint - Chronic Paint - 60-70 dollars depending on where I buy
Co2 - Stock 20oz. - 30 dollars
Mask - JT Axiom FX10 - 72 dollars
Barrel -Flatline for A5 - 150 dollars

Most of this I shopped around and got for half the price. I was using the prices that I found on the official sites. ALot of this stuff I bought at an army surplus store which charges half the price. Just goes to show you what shopping around can do. I think i've spent around 1000 dollars, not to mention I've been paintballing for a few years so its alot funner, and I know what to buy. :) Plus alot of me friends paintball. They have Oracle E's though. I still think my gun is alot better.

[Chimaera]

Tippman 98 custom - double trigger, red eye scope, metalic green caseing.

a spyder is a good gun to start with,esp a 99 avant,avant's will get in accurate after a while but spyders have a whole lot of upgrades,so if you get better and would want to get a new gun,decide if you want to upgrade the avant,theirnot bad,but in my area,alot of people start with spyders and mine was imagine,so if you think of paintballing,think of spyder to start out since they're decent enough and can get the avant for 150

[Prodigy]

Get a Spyder Rodeo or something less then 160$. If you dont like the game then you wont feel so bad. Or rent a gun the first time you play, or borrow one. If you do like it get a spyder, they're like the civics on the paintball world, cheap upgradeable and pretty dang good. Once you get pretty damn good I would get an auto****er like I have, or a tippmann A-5 Like I have also. I'll sell you my auto****er 2003 ACV for 800. :) Fully upgraded :p.

actually Prod, he should geta Xtra, because you get it for a cheaper price and its the same thing except it has a guage and it was a different color design big whoop, so yeah i say he should get an Xtra

[Prodigy]

Ah ok, my bad then. Im not to hip with the Spyders, I've never owned one really so I wouldnt know. :p Thanks for the correction though.

[DragonTamer 13]

i think you should start out with a kit from Brass Eagle. then move up to a Tippmann, then let your imagination run wild v(mabey, potatoe gun? :D )

lapco big shot 14" barrel - $50

through the years of paintballing, i would definately say i've spent over 1000 bucks.

in my opinion, a great gun to start with is the 98-custom. it's not expensive at all, very upgradable, and from my experience, very dependable.

[JLAgua]

My friend here says he's spent bout $150 bucks, but he got a really good deal from a friend on gun and basic accessories ^_^

erhh dont look at me... the only time i've shot any kind of gun was a 32mm handgun at rabbits and a rifle at more rabbits back when i was 12 ^_^ that and my b.b. gun but i havent touched any type of guns (xept for squirt guns) in the last 5 years :cry:

WOW KINGMAN... you call yourself hardcore... thats gay

the Tippman A5 WTFPWNS your spider flash...

and why do you need 2 airtanks?? i bet there 2 co2 tanks

[AzN_GaNjA]

i never said i was HARDCORE u fool...jeeZ
and if u read that CORRECTLY AS IN IF U CAN READ PROPER ENGLISH i said that u have to spend at least 1000, i only spent about 500....

and there 2 air tanks...
i hook em up 2 an air compressor....
and an A5 SUCKS cause it freaking gets jammed all the time.

[Prodigy]

and an A5 SUCKS cause it freaking gets jammed all the time. We could read it if you typed it properly. And A5's dont suck. I have one. I've maybe had it jam once, and that was from dirst and sand and debris. Also they dont call them "air tanks."

you never did call yourself, but when you said HE WASNT and you didnt say YOU WASNT it was sorta implying that you thought you are ... i think .... :uhh:

and also.. A5's are pretty good...

The tornado system is new to paintballing, and should bring new stuff to the game...

also, i think the A5 has alot of trigger settings.. like a responce trigger
Semi-Auto
Full-Auto
3 Shot burst, and more..

also, im not shure if it has one, but maybe it has a breech sensor?? so then the it wont break your paint!


ALSO!!!!! you dont gotta spend 500$ to be "hardcore" Someone can give you a gun, you play, become really good.. then your "hardcore"

if you spend 1,000 dollars on paintball and you suck, that makes you a ****ing poster kid.. and thoes are gay, forizzle.
