Is there much people on here that play stock class? Could you give me some insight on how it is compared to playing pump? The Idea of it sounds rather fun to me.
Stock Class

basiclly the idea of stock class is for the craziest men/woman you get a load of 10 round tube and run around the woods sneaking up on people and scaring the crap out of them. But serious answer it for the type of person that can step back from the fire fights and use their head instead of their trigger. And read the game and play smart due the loss of fire power, some people like it some people downt.
True stock class is 10 shot stick or tube feed, and 12 gram CO2 for gas.. no bulk hopper or air. The 12 gram will only give 25 - 35 useable shots before you have to dump it and reload. Usually fitted with a quick change or bucket changer to speed it up, but still slows down ROF. Open class allows the use of HPA tanks and hopper feeds.. more practical in my opinion

What is Stock Class? Stock-Class is a unique playing style of paintball that requires different tactics and skills. The markers used have to abide by the rules of stock-class play which include: 1) must be pump-action 2) cannot hold more than 20 paintballs at a time 3) must be powered by 12-gram CO2 powerlets 4) magazine tube must be parallel to the barrel for the "Rock and Cock" effect. If you don't like the paint-guzzling style of play and are up to a challenge, stock-class is for you.
In today's world of rapid fire Paintball, Stock class has expanded to include pumps of many varieties. Finding true Stock Class equipment is difficult. As a result, there has been much confusion as to what is "really " stock class. We embrace all types of pump play and have included the later varieties of equipment under our umbrella.
True stock class- horizontal feed tube, powered by 12 grams, no ball gates, check valves, auto triggers.
Modified Stock Class- Allows auto-triggers, and either a constant air tank OR a hopper (not both)
Super Stock- Allows constant air and a hopper, as well as check valves, auto triggers, and other modifications.
Open class- Pneumatic assist guns, anything goes, so long as you have to pump it to shoot.

Haha yea I know what stock class is. I was just interested in the thoughts from experienced players
I play(ed) it vs punters for ages. Great fun, but i hated it on a sup'air field. Open class was more fun for me there
Thats what I was thinking, it would keep the paint usage right down. How much does a second hand vsc phantom go for on here?
Go open class mate, seen some cool Empire Sniper Pumps on here going for 300-350 ish. I've got one, great fun to use on walk-ons,I also used it at North v South 2012.
