tippman. its more upgradeable so you can do little things at a time to it, and make it slowly into a super gun!!

although for not much more money (maybe less) you could go for a second hand mechanical autococker which would beat either of those guns into submission to be honest.

as for a mask, go into a shop, try some on and buy the one which feels most comfortable for you.

upgrade your co2 to air
get a response/electro trigger frame,
get a revvy hopper

none of these have to be bought straight away as you have a good base setup, however you may want to aim for this stuff at some time in the future.

definitely get an air tank first and as soon as you possibly can.

ill take your advice on the air, but im goin "sniper" so i think all go with a remote and a stock after the air. i dont know what a revvy hopper is. but ill look into it.



im really into this sniper stuff... i dont shoot alot of paint anyway so it works, and im small, and i live in the woods so i have practice walking.

itsal good. anyway im working on crawling, i got the high crawl down, just ned practice with the low crawl.


also any tips for paintballs? when i got my barrel the sites i loked at for reviews said that its good to have expencive paint because it has a better shell consistancy. im on a tight budget so im open to sujjestions.

thanks all

Do you have to bring your own paint at your local site then? I would highly suggest not using brittle tourny paint in your flatline, for the flatline you dont need really stupidly hard paint, but just make sure its not brittle. It will probably be a good idea to ask where you got your tippmann whats a good type of paint to use in the flatline.

EDIT just read that your on a tight budget, better tell the guy at your local shop your budget then!

It's really important to remember that whatever game you play, decent paint will make more difference to your accuracy, reliability and ulitmately than all other barrel upgrades, differences between guns and ups put together.

A mech Tippman shooting decent paint at 3 bps is better than an Ego shooting soup anyday. Of course, if you had an Ego shooting decent paint... :)
