Ok, since i know 2 ppl on here play paintball, i figured i'd start a paintball thread.

I used to play woodsball a lot when i was in 10, 11, and 12th grade. Where we used to play is now a housing complex. I had a crappy brass eagle gun, w/ a 9oz cartrige and 200ct hopper.

Im looking into buying a gun again. I like the new tippman 98 customs and the new A-5. I also like the Spyder imagines.

What do some of you use? Do you prefer woodsball or speedball?

woodsball.

here is what i use:
tippmann 98c
JJ Ceramic 12"
Double Trigger
Remote System

and i am planning on getting an Electronic Loader, side cocking system and the R/T system.

ive heard that the A-5 with R/T and the Flatline is pretty badass.

i have no idea what you guys are talking about but it sounds pretty cool.

I was thinking the same thing, Devin :)

My only experience with paintball got me expelled from high school. I had one in my car and someone ratted on me. The school considered it a pellet gun, and therefore it was a weapon. I could have had a shotgun in my car and I would have received the same punishment.

I only had my paintball gun for 1 week and my parents made me sell it to pay for the summer school classes I had to take to make up the credits. Needless to say, I got screwed.

ya we had some paint ball guns some cheap ones we all ended up getting shot point blank and they didnt feel to good.

I heard the flatline barrell is a waste of money unless you are a sniper. You would probably be better off with your ceramic 12" barrell.

Have you heard of the new tippmann c-3 pump being run off of propane? It works kinda like an internal combustion engine. Apparently it gets 50,000 shots from a single 16 oz. propane canister. They are working on a semi-auto version, but they need a way to expel the heat that the gun produces from the combustion of the propane.

Ok, enough ranting for now.

I'm not huge into it (yet) but I'm starting. My cousin pretty much sits on ebay and buys guns that are good deals...parts them out, switches them out, resells whatever, and he always shows me what he gets and such so I know some of the termonology...

but I think this weekend, which will be my first time paintballing, I will be using a Smart Parts Shocker or an Impulse, with TheFreak barrell and electronic hoppers and such.

haha thats about as good as I can do, no clue how good those guns are, though.
Heard some guy at the store saying Tippman's are very reliable. I know that's what a couple of my city's paintball courses use, are Tippman's, becuase of the reliability issue. And I guess in low temperatures (under 40F or so) the Tippman's perform very well over some other guns(Spider? Spyder?)

I tried...

I used to play a few years ago. My brother has a Spyder. (I think he still does) He modded it a little bit. The nearest paintball fields were 45 minutes away and it just costs too much overall, but it's fun.

Thats why woodsball is great! Only costs are the balls and to fill the tanks. I think its more fun too. I mean i personally have never played speedball, but it just seems like if you're using a fully auto gun, or if you can knock off an amazing amount of paint per second, it kinda takes the fun out of it. I like hiding and hunting people. We used to play on like 4 acres of wooded land, but its now a housing complex

I used to play woodsball at my house. We played in my 8 acres of woods. The best gun to me was the tippmann 98 custom. The spyders that my cousins used jammed every other round or so. Speedball just doesnt even sound fun. You have to pay to play paintball? Plus in woodsball you can make your own rules.
