More like a matchstick.And yet it still looked like an Invert Mini in your hands!
My first gun was a Line SI Promaster, then a Sam Patriot, then a Level7 Mag tuned by Dan from the Panthers.
Proper guns, none of this electro-trickery nonsense! They had proper cheating back then too - liquid CO2 in your expansion tank, BOOM, 350fps+
Ah yes, I remember the good ol' days. Double action triggers were the sh!t. I could shoot faster with a double action trigger on my old mag than you are allowed to ramp these days.
Mind you, you'd be chopping like a thing that chops. A lot.
I've still got one of them beasts, ridiculously accurate.Original Gat was an original Shocker, not the 4x4, the pnueventure (?) one.
It freaking rocked.
I bought a pump off ebay thinking it was semi, as my first marker, a Sheridan pmi pirhana in brass. Wish I'd kept it if only to put on my wall, was lovely when you polished it up.
My first setup I bought I got used from the guy at my church that introduced me to paintball. Tippmann Pro/Lite and BE Tigershark as a backup. Still have the Pro/Lite just for old times sake. It's very sentimental.
From there I got a really blinged out M98 that I still have and can't seem to get off of, then my Dark LCD, then about 60 project guns, including about 4 spyders, some spyder clones, at least 4 autocockers, a Bushmaster with a body that I custom cut that's still in pieces in my parts bin, then my Rock IR3 that I sold, and my current Force 4. The Force 4 was the last gun I'll ever buy new, and it was about that time that I realized that I don't play nearly enough to justify having a gun newer or faster than the one I've got. When I get out of school and get a well paying job so that I have enough time and money to play more than once every couple months, I'll buy a really nice new used gun for half of what some poor ******* paid for it new and finally know what the people who buy paintball gear off of me feel like

first marker was a mayhem merlin, second a budd ranger and then thirdly, a mech cocker converted to a mini cocker with some shiney bits added to make me look good infront the punters on a saturday morning at the site i used to work at
That would be because the original shocker had the physical attributes of a cast-iron workbench vice, holding itself in position between shots with weight and surface-area coverage. Frankly, i'm surprised it didn't come with hand/arm bolts to give itself extra grip.
