When I was like 13 I had one of those 20-30$ Walmart guns and although it didn't have the range of my buddies 200/300$ gun, that thing really punched in the range it had.

I only found out because me and him were in the woods playing and every shot I got from his was easily brushed off. Every shot I had at him with that cheapo gun had him on the ground. It really punched within 100 feet or so. He got so pissed that my crappo was that painful he made me swap with him and I got to use the nice gun. But OMG did my gun hurt so much more to get hit with. When I realized how painful that one was we both stopped playing for the day.

That thing left welts like you wouldn't believe. Edit: Although I was easily picked off in the long range :)

Did you guys chrono your guns first? I know firsthand that 285fps leaves moderate welts at closerange and no welts at longrange.

My friend has 3 paintball guns and today when I asked him what to get, he said he'd sell me his spare Spyder Xtra with a 20oz tank, hopper, mask, everything (except paintballs) for $80, which is actually a really sweet deal for it all.

That is a sweet deal. Pretty sure the gun itself is that much, so...

I'm looking at $270 for everything. Gun package (Gun, Tank, Hopper, Mask, Pod Belt, Squeegee, etc), new barrel, tank fill and a case of 2000 paintballs.

jump on that deal if i can find pics of my gun i will post pics of it

Yeah.

List:
Tippmann 98 Custom Pro
-Drop Forward
-Double Trigger
-ACT

32 Degrees Icon X
-Drop Forward
-Double Trigger

GenX Facemask
GenX Pod Belt (6 pods, 1 tank)
6 "pntball.com" pods (where I got the gear, lol)
20oz Spyder CO2 tank
200rd hopper (with a Giro and damnation-inc sticker on it so I don't get it mixed up with all the other black hoppers =p)

pics:

sorry for the horrible backdrop, it's my bed :D

Edit:

The Tippmann, hopper, tank, pod belt, facemask and pods cost $200
The IconX cost $20

=D

Got a Proto 14" barrel for the tippy (Gonna sell the Icon X). Mirror finish inside, thinner barrel walls than the stock barrel, better porting, it's just an all-round better barrel. $30. Got a Liberty Stocks M4-style telescoping stock for $50. Gonna get paint tomorrow. Can't wait.

Sure is a pretty lookin' think, imo.
