Wristrockets are slingshots.

Pistols are weak. they use 12gram CO2 cartridges and have 10 rounds tops. Just get a normal marker, 200rd hopper, 20oz CO2 tank, better control, range, etc.

You can get a Tippmann 98 Custom Pro with all the gear for about $200.

sure.


That's where I got mine from. Comes with the 98 Custom Pro, A 20oz CO2 tank, a 6 pod belt, 6 pods, a squeegee, oil, and a facemask.


Pretty much if you go to the pb store and charge your tank and get a case of paint you're good to go.

EDIT: Oh, but that package is a little more expensive because it has an electronic grip... meaning that you can set the firing modes. NXL Ramping, full auto, semi-auto, etc. It's cool.

If you don't want to pay the extra for that (anything above Semi-Auto is illegal at most fields anyways) you can get a 98 Custom for about $160 from that same site.

Also, I know the paintballing crew I chat to online like to use actionvillage.com

yea
ive ordered from paintballgear.com...which is part of action village

only thing i suggest to think about an Egrip is think about what kind of ball you want to play

if you think youd enjoy playing in mud. rainy days....youll have to be very careful with an Egrip

heh

oh man, I practiced doing rapid fire on a peice of cardboard (somehow the paintballs just bounce off of the dirt in my backyard and fly off =p, when I put cardboard up against the old satellite dish at least it slows them and keeps them in OUR yard) and it was awesome.

But yeah, I personally wouldn't get an egrip. My gun is already good enough as it is -- and I have even more rapid firing mods on the way. R/T and Cyclone ftw

what camo pattern do you guys think I should paint my gun? I was gonna paint it then polish the internals. I am thinking woodland digital or woodland BDU style. Mostly because here in norcal we have mostly just grass and trees and stuff.

Maybe a tan/green "plains" type digital, one that blends in well with living plants as well as dead grass? Those are the two main environments here -- dead, long, tan grass and green living plants. And when I play Speedball, well, not worried since there's no real camo there. =p

What do you all think?
