some new gear

[TheHood]

Hey people who are reading this. Im new to the forums so welcome me.... WELCOME MEEEEE!

Okay

Iv been paintballing for about a year and I'm saving up for some new stuff. Right now I have a Bone Daddy [ I got it for $50 incase your asking], HeadCase google system, 9oz Co2 tank and a Ricochet AK hopper.

I'm fine on the hopper, but I need new goggles and a new marker. Any sugestions?

I was looking at the Spyder Rodeo, it seems good for me, [cheap, looks cool, preety good stock].

Also, any sugestions on a mask? I dont really want to spend more than 75 or 80 dollars on it.

One more question, about how many shots can i expect from a 16 or 20oz Co2 tank?

Thanks in advance.

buy a decent mask first m8,ie jt flex 7 ,proteus ect,it is the most importent piece of your kit.
then i would recomend saving up for a decent marker ie cocker,impulse.
or buy second hand and get a package deal,ie angel lcd,air,hopper or whatever other marker you want

Like Le-Pig said....you have had one basic blowback marker...they are all pretty much the same unless its a Timmy...so, get yourself a marker that can grow with you , like a Cocker, or a Impy...maybe an Angel if you like to spread your paint about...

There is no way I can afford an impy or Angel anytime in the near and not so near futer, well, untill i get a job i guess...

So any ideas for something under $300 Canadian?

Cocker mate..and you probably could afford an older Angel LCD maybe...but I would go with a nice cocker, then get it E/Worr Bladed!!

Hmm.... it still seems a little pricey to me.

I only go out and play maybe once or twice a month and I dont play in tourneys so I dont really need tourney marker that can fire 25bps (cause i cant pull the trigger that fast xP)

Pluss with an Angel or a cocker i'd need to get Compressed Air or Nitro and thats another $300-$700

 

[Skeet]

You can get a standard ish, secondhand mechanical cocker, with a swing trigger (double trigger) for the money you are talking about...max rate of fire, maybe 8 BPS but..its a cocker and can be upgraded as little or as much as you like...anel LCD wont do 25 BPS!! Look about on the forums...i mean, thats about £170 UK isnt it..you can get a cocker for that..in fact, I know a guy over here who is selling an RT Automag....you would likely have to pay shipping tho...but they do rock.

Mask wise I would seriously recommend flex 7/Pro Flex, these things are soooooo comfy. So many people have them in the world im sure you can get to try before you buy

 

[TheHood]

Okay, i looked around.

I the cheapest used cockers I could find were going for ~500 canadian dollars.... thats about 300 Euro or 360 American. That plus a mask ($60), Co2 ($45), and some other miscelaneous items i need comes to much more than $650... I cant afford that :'(



So, do you think a Rodeo or a inexpensive electro or semi would be a good idea?

Trouble with inespensive markers, is that another way of describing "inexpensive" is CHEAP...which is exactly what many markers are...how much did you pay for your current marker and how long ago?
