reloader would be good enough, I use one on my etek.

edit: just checked on the sale post I think you're looking at. Not the same hopper as mine but should still be adequate ( I use the reloader b). if you're going to be playing at Sab make sure you can configure that EOS to semi auto only at around 9 or 10 bps as that's paul's limit for hybrid days. I think anything goes (apart from full auto) on the walkon days

when are you next planning to play? what kit do you have at present?

 

[jack_judge]

you may want to invest in a dive tank if your playing at sab great place but air fills can be a b!tch we used to go there alot until we branched into tourney ball great bunch of lads there

I Thinking Of Justing Going To Local Feild And Refilling

 

[JohnNerush]

Im going to either:

buy a dive tank and get it filled when needed or buy 2 or 3 0.8l bottles and get them all filled the day before, dive tank is prolly the best option.

I am going down to essex the begining of august to play, tbh that will be the first time ive attually played properly.

Ive been shot and fired a couple of guns thanks to a friend, it disnt hurt as much as i exspected and thats the only thing that would have put me off.

After that i will be going down to sab hopfully for the august walkon (3rd sunday of every month?) and again providing i enjoy it i will be getting a bulldog membership and going atleast to the walkons and then the hybrids ontop hopfully. Money isnt an issue currently so im gonna fill my boots while i can.

Yea on the note about the gun, i have spoke to paul on and off about guns and i will ensure the gun is locked to semi, to be honest i would rather take pop shots than act like im shooting an m249 machine gun.

Hopfully when i get fitter and can run faster/bounce off the floor properly i can try supair.

i have some experiace with the epiphany/ eos, they are orite guns

the only difference between the eos and epiphany is bolt out back

good sides they are quiet, nice trigger, very upgradable, pritty efficent, look sexy

bad points very heavy, hard to take apart, same inards as an ion, and personally i hate the asa

if your picking up one new then, for that price you can get a 05 ego off here, if not seriously consider the pmr, mini, i know alot of people recommend them but they are really good guns

 

[JohnNerush]

In answer to your question, i currently have:

One piece camo suit
misc cammo clothing
boots and trainers
kit bag
elbow and kneepads
bandana and balaclaver

still need:

mask
marker
hopper
air tank
misc items < batteries, marker maintance gear etc

basically need the important stuff. Im going to buy one of the masks from sab i think, looks like a good deal.

 

[arg1271]

Not wishing to take anything away from Paul as I get on pretty well with him, but I'd check the classified for a mask, Paul's are OK to start with but for a bit more cash then a set off here would be much better.

You'll need a pot pack as well to carry paint - I have a couple of sale if you're interested.

If you play to start playing sup-air you'll be ditching the camo and balaclava pretty quick.

Air wise I'd strongly recommend you spend a bit extra in buy a 1.1 fibrewrap bottle, much lighter and you get more shots off a full fill. Buying a steel bottle usualy means you end trying to sell it after a couple of months.

 

[JohnNerush]

Lol i knew i forgot somthing, battlepack and pots, what are you selling, ill deffinatly be up for buying one.

Ill have a look at masks, im not worried about paying more for one due to it being the most important piece of equipment.

Welcome.

As arg1271 said you're probably better off just spending a bit extra and getting a Fibrewrap 1.1 bottle instead of buying a steely now and then a fibrewrap 3 months down the line when you're fed up of the weight.

Same goes for marker, you're probably better off buying a higher end second hand one than a lower end brand new one. Ions can be picked up for around £100 and are good for the price. Along with PMR's or Mini's (just got one myself) as mentioned.


Live 20mins outside of MK (near northampton) myself and looking around for some walk ons in the area so might see you around some time.

Yea deffinatly, i can get to northhampton easily and i think theres a couple of paintball places up there also. im really impressed at how friendly these forums are, not like many others out there. Ill deffinatly get a fiber wrap bottle, i dont like the idear of remote hose and bottle on my back. Ive sold my ipod touch so ive got some extra cash to play with now too.
