Hi what do you think I should get next?

[Robeenio]

orrrrrr


you could just stay in the woods if you like it!

lol!

simple as that! people think that there is this natural progression where you have to be a tourny player

by all means come to a tourny and see what its all about and have a crack

but you will find it is sooooo different to playing in the woods

and if your talking cheap and awesome firepower

then the ion is the way to go believe me!

and if you decide that the woods is your thing and you havent upgraded but still want that little bit of extra fire power, the ion will still do or an sp8 for a little bit more but looking a hella lot more the part!

hope that helps!

Well thanks for all your replies so far but I think an ego might be abit too much for me at the moment as their resale value is quite high. I definately do want to play tourny after trying both I only but the tactical because it was meant to be abit better than the comp for only a £10 more but then I find it actually had panel grips and only a compact hinge trigger instead of the wrap around grip and hinge trigger it was supposed to come with which ticked me off. But anyway I don't really want to upgrade to an ion as one if I am going to upgrade I might as well spend about £60 more for a much better gun, also I have seen the stock ions shoot and sure they have a shorter trigger pull but I seemed quite able to keep up with them and be just as consistent and finally I have a strange affliction which makes me unable to buy what everyone else has as I like being different, just dont ask me why lol.
I think I will just be getting a pipe kit now as I didn't know that a cocker thread fit cockers, egos and timmys and when I do upgrade the only things that will be in my prices range will probably old timmys egos and maybe angels so odds are I wouldn't lose much but thanks for your help.
But just one more question it appears the angel airtime gear release has been delayed yet again and I was really wanting to wear it for my next time playing tourney as I really really don't want to be the only one wearing camo again as that was embaressing plus I can only get it dry cleaned which is crap so the point is does anyone have any suggestions for any other playing gear like dye or something as playing gear is something you can't research very well on the net.
Thanks again for all your replies

I recommend any pants that have built in knee pads. They will give you some protection while sliding, but allow freedom of movement. Examples include the 2004 and later JT pants, the 2005 and later Evil pants, the Eclipse pants, and 2003 and later Dye or Proto pants. I'd shop for fit and price, after seeing to the knee padding.

For a shirt, if you don't want to wear camo, just get yourself a long sleeved black tee shirt and put your team name on it with masking tape. You are new to tournament, and you aren't expected to have the latest fashions, so wear whatever is comfortable to play in. If you end up joining a team, you will likely need a matching jersey anyway. Don't spend money on stupid stuff. Paintball is expensive enough.

Upgrading loaders, air systems, and autococker barrels is seldom a bad idea. The tank and loader will be useful with any gun you own, and the ac barrels will be useable on Cockers, Egos, Intimidators, Matrix guns, DM4, DM5, DM6, Proto guns, Promasters, and Defiants. Autococker threaded barrels won't work on Angels, most Shockers, Ions, Spyders, or Tippman guns.

The absolute best thing to spend your money on is paint to shoot through your gun.

mate - you came along and played - that was cool enough on its own - **** worrying about whether you were wearing camo or not - nobody cares bud (we didnt)-spend your money on playing and getting involved first anything else you can get from some of us cheap - priorities mate.

apologies for drunken spelling - come and see me on the 12th and well sort out some second hand tourney gear - either the keltics or the clan will have some spare gear they can sell you if you want it

So in conclusion what do you think stick it with my marker and get some of the upgrades I'm thinking of (or other that I have missed) or try and upgrade to a better gun?

Hi Blaster, personally I would save up for a better gun. You can get some great deals on these boards, ranging from second hand Ego's at £350 or Eblades for around the £220 mark. Similarly Matrixes are a good bet also, maybe a DM4 or 5

I would get sorted with a better gun initially rather than looking for 'shiney' things

Hi thanks again for all your helpfull replies I have decided to look for a new marker. It was my B'day yesterday and I got quite a bit more than I was expecting (I'm so popular plus my bank intrest for the year has ame in on the same day which was nice) so i can probably afford to have a budget of about £370 or around £410 if I find someone to buy my marker and hopper (unlikely) for this I would probably be looking for a halo or velocoity or halo and markers I was thinking on the lines of elctroed cockers (as their nice and cheap) or preferrably a karni as they look sweet. And also to try and keep all the newb questions in one place, does anyone have a list or something of all the guns that have ramping software and whether an eblade comes with ramping as I don't want a ramping gun.
Thanks yet agaiun for all your help

 

[seany boy]

Pretty much all guns come with ramping nowadays, remember you can switch to normal semi, you don't have to have it ramping all the time

Why don't you want a ramping gun? Everyone wants a ramping gun

 

[Dskize]

buy an 05 EGO dont waste your money on cockers no matter how much you are trying to be 'different' it's not big or clever and you will regret it - buy an EGO and you'll have some change left for a halo - they are BY FAR the best markers out there in second hand land for that sort of money - ramping is something you can turn on or off on a marker so its irrelevant unless you need it which currently you dont . Buy an EGO am I making this clear ? Buy an EGO

sorry not trying to tell you what to do buy whatever you want and be different and unique (and shot out and pissed off) no wait a minute .......yes I am ....Buy an EGO

see you on the 12th

P.S Buy an EGO
