pump guns

What's wrong is that you don't seem to be able to allow others to have the choice. Someone else says "I want a pump" you say, "Why on earth would you want that when you could have a mediocre semi auto for the same price." well something to that effect anyway.

Different strokes for different folks I guess, but have you even ever gotten to use a pump gun? Much less seen a high quality one like the Phantom?

When did he say that he ONLY wanted a pump? He is, in this current thread, asking about GOOD PUMP GUNS. He may own a good semiauto, you don't know. He may be purly old school. That may be his game.

Different strokes for different folks. Some folks prefer the stroke of a pump.

Good pump for under $300, look at The Phantom or the Sterling. (See PGI in the near future for that review...)

As for why shoot a pump? Dude, some of us LIKE being able to play all day on 500 balls.

(I'm NOT a happy camper right now, in fact I'm kinda in the mood to DEMONSTRATE why I like to shoot a pump gun. Volunteers?)

Debunking the flatline

Some years ago Tippman brought out their Flatline ot Skyball. They set up this shooting range that had a banner hanging in the center, the idea being that most semis had to ARC the shots, and htey'd hit the banner. The Flatline could sent paint out that far, no problem.

Ok, fair 'nuff. But we walked up with our Phantoms and Piranha pumps (old guns), and took a few shots. In my case, after one to get the actual range in play, I could hit thier target with my Phantom.

"I'm not impressed." I said. And, yes, it chronied at 280. And, I suppose that if you're not used to range like that, it's impressive. But, I can match it with a Phantom.

It was kinda funny to see players try to get as LOW as they could to arc a ball JUST UNDER the banner, and miss anyway. :)
