paintball Gun for fiancee

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

I'm using his id right now. He loves paintball and as a wedding present i would like to buy him a new gun. He currently has a shocker sport 4x4 turbo ( found reciept). From what I understand the type of game he plays is based on speed and who can shoot more paint around massive inflatable "bunkers". I would really just like some info and which direction model wise and what company is reliable. Thanks

You realize that he'll be able to see this thread?

 

[bootymac]

Oh!!! Can I be your fiancee?!!?!?! I'm just starting paintball and looking into guns. From what you said, I'm guessing he's doing Speedball, so take a look at the Speedball guns at Armotech

I want this sucker

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

Nah he doesnt look at anything past a few hours old. I talked to the guy at a local paintball here and he wasnt a great help. I believe it is speedball the group of guys he plays with are trying to qualify for comps, so I would like to get him one that will stand up, any suggestions on a model

HAve you thought about asking his paintball buddies on what would be the paintballers wet dream (besides you of corse ) ?

There is this thing called the Today screen, you'll see a link for it in the top right...your past 20 posts are displayed there. You better post in 20 threads after your last post in this one.

most of them have there head so far up the arse and can't give me a straight answer one says angels are great the other says there crap....and i would like to stay 3,000 or under if possible

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

$3,000 cap? Holy crap

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

well he really enjoys it and has done so much and spent so much on me and itll truly surprise him. I've tried looking back at the computers history to see what hes looked at but its all paint and parts

3 grand!!
Oh my... you could buy anything paintball related for $3,000 dollars. I was under the impression that the best most expensive guns where like $5-600 with accessorys.

EDIT: I guess asking him what his wet dream gun is is out of the question? Or maybe having his buddies do a snoop job, like have them ask him what he wants and then report back to you?

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

whats better than a shocker, and i know he wants one that will do two types of air ?

Angels I've heard are the best. Even when I go paintballing (only twice) I only know about Angels. Supposedly one of the best brands. And a $3000 cap is huge. I'm sure with some searching you could find one, but I've only known some guns to be in the few hundreds, maybe 1 or 2 in the thousands.

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

his last gun was about $1500 by the time he added some type of micro chip

Just my thought.

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

Oh. I've heard the good ones have double triggers, some kind of anti-locking mechanism, laser crosshairs and such.

Depending on the type of game you may want to look into a secondary weapon for him - A paintball pistol if necessary.

I could only think of CO2... the other maybe either compressed O2 or N2? The other gases are usually poisonous. Well elementally that is. Or maybe some butane with a fire adapter.. so when he shoots there's like a blowtorch.. hahah.. that could be dangerous!

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

I tried his buddies but they are too interested in other things when hes not with me, and i really am not big on being in lots of contact with them

well shows you how much I know. I have played it twice and only used Tipman (sp?) 98 pro or whatever. A good gun for rentals. Aint no microchip gun thats for sure. I never knew they had those. I guess if its automatic it would need some sort of chip to regulate speed and outward velocity and what not.

Well, good hunting and good luck!

That's fine. Best thing to do is searching for a paintballing forum like this one - only with paintballers instead of PC people. We know the difference between an Epox 8RDA+ motherboard and Intel hyperthreading and all that, but you want to know where the people are. Check out

I know he currently rents scuba tanks to fill up the tanks. the wet dream thing ....he swears he hasn't had one since 13... nah no fire...i have to listen to the whinning about bruised arse....cant take a torched one

 

[SeaSerpent]

I would recomend this gun or this gun.

I prefer the Bob Long over the Angel myself.

When you are ready to buy, 888paintball.com is very resonable.

 

[eLiTeGoodGuy]

this guy has a good pint.
the whole wet dream thing is just a figure of speech, like me saying "I have a sound system that would make george lucas cream his pants". Your a smart indvidual, you get the idea.
