Bah...there is not such thing as an "auto" gun, everyone must shoot semi automatic guns. The difference is that electronic guns allow you to shoot guns like a mouseclick.

On another note, I've got some nice electro autocockers to unload if anyone is interested.

i used to play a few years ago with a bunch of my friends. We usally played with semis but sometimes just went pump. Anytime i mention playing with pumps, people who play now laugh and talk about thier super-duper auto aiming and shooting mega markers. It's kinda scary.

I've never been a fan of autos just because they waste so much paint. I used to use 500 round for like 6 hours of play. Now its seems like people go thru 1000 in an hour

yeah, i want to get into it but i don't feel like dropping 500 bucks and asking my friends to do the same. i don't see how it is so expensive for a decent gun. it's a freakin metal tube with a loading mechanism and something to release the air

 

[intogamer]

is there such thing as a paint ball pistol?

 

[bootymac]

Used to play, had a cheap Spyder Xtra. Too expensive for a student

They are not AUTOS...!
The more expensive and advanced guns benefit from electronic firing mechanisms that make it much easier to shoot quickly. Since these guns require less finger force it is easier to fire while holding the gun steady, at a tough angle, on the move etc...

Anyone who has played with a high end gun knows the difference.

i've never seen one, but i'm sure they exist. they probably run on the CO2 cartridges that used to be on the rebock pumps

Angel LCD, back in the day, or Shockers........revolutionized paintball.

Unless you have around 500$ dont expect to play with the big boys....

They're close enough to auto for me the damn things shoot like 60 balls a second or something insane like that. Just seems like a waste of paint to me.

i like the armotech M4 lookalikes.

I had a friend who was all about PRECISION. He'd go through maybe a dozen paintballs a game...almost every single one a kill. I still don't know how he did it...I didn't waste a lot of paint, but I went through like 500 in 4 hours.
