I am relatively new to paintball and I have only played about 10 games. My trusty Pro/Carbine has been serving me well but I want to get another gun now that I am enjoying the game. All I want is a gun that is actually customizable (pro carbines are a little bit) and will do well in wooded play(my main game:) ). But what are the "ups" and "downs" of the gun. Like how does it do on C02 (my carbine will last all day on its 20 ounce) I heard you could only last about 15 minutes on an a 5 with regular c02. I just need to know about its weaknesses and advantages before I perchase it to see if the paintball gun is worth it.

Thanks

If you have that sot of money to spend...then get yourself a secondhand Impulse or Cocker..Impulse is electro, the cocker wont be for A5 money...but can be upgraded as much as you like and they work very well...Impulse will run on C02, but N2 or Air is quite cheap to get started on these days...Cocker will run on C02 as well. AMost markers run better on Air tho.
