tfreer85 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Sweet!! Thats really funny, I was thinking about going out and buying my first gun tomorrow. Without a complete thread hi-jack any recommendations, for a relatively inexpensive gun, low maintenance, just for playing around with? That thing looks like it cost one PRETTY penny . Thanks, Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBjt Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I would suggest getting a tippman model 98, cheap, reliable and very durable! My friend had one and he had so much fun modding it and it never failed him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I would suggest getting a tippman model 98, cheap, reliable and very durable! My friend had one and he had so much fun modding it and it never failed him! Tippmanns are pretty much bulletproof. I ran over one and only a few scratches. Not too big of a fan of the manual non-electric firing systems, but just my prefference. I suggest the Ion, but first upgrade you should get is to replace the trigger.

tfreer85 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Are these guys readily available? I.E. Local paintball shop should have one? Don't want to have to order online, if I don't have too. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rztmartini Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 i was going to reccomend the ion as well. its made by Smart Parts and has a ton of aftermarket support. its pretty simple design makes it light and efficient. If you are proper-maintenance concious then an entry level electro-pneumatic would not be too advanced in my opinion. I QUICKLY outgrew my electro spyder, and wanted a higher quality gun soon after. whats your budget? for <$250 there are a LOT of options for quality markers, the ion included. this gun would be FINe for a beginner to novice player's skills. the gun i got (pictured above) is a Smart Parts Impulse (No longer in production) and is considered by many to be significantly out-dated because of its double tube configuration and its weight (its pretty heavy). but the amount of aftermarket support is similar to that of a civic, and is getting cheaper and cheaper because they are no longer in producion and retailers are getting rid of thier back-stock. these can be had for well under $200 used with many up-grades. i got this custom milled gun with a lot of upgrades for $220. the first time i went out (last weekend) i got a lot of compliments on it, i guess because of the rarity of this version (AtomiX version). check out paintballforum.com for lots of stickies on choosing your first gun. the 98 custom is a tank=virtually indestructible. thats why so many fields use these as thier rental guns. but i love being able to walk to trigger on an electronic gun. like this forum, read and read and read before you commit to anything to be sure that you are fully satisfied when you do purchase a gun!
