Depends on how serious you want to get. Just got my roomate a mini that shoots great and plenty fast. It's not as smooth or quiet as my g6r but I get just as many eliminations with his gun as my g6r. I payed $150 for it used. Plus tank and a good hopper and mask you're looking at around $500-600. But you could easily spend way more then that on just the gun. Just avoid cheap guns because you'll end up just buying another gun if you keep playing and it's a waste. Search pbnation for good cheap used guns because of you get a decent deal on a used gun you won't loose much if you decide to sell it down the road.

gotta240 · 12-23-2011, 03:57 PM

Lets put it this way.......last time I played was a good 10 years ago.

At that time, tipman was shit, spyder was the lowest you'd want to play with, autococker and automag was the gold standard. And Angels(full auto) were the shit that only rich people had.

I'm looking to get back in with on the automag/autococker level of todays guns. If that makes any sense.....lol. Guns I used to run were 500-700 for the gun. Sounds like thats enough to get something decent in todays market....no? Do people play with full autos any more?

shit, they might as well.

brainfood · 12-23-2011, 05:27 PM

Full auto isn't allowed at most fields people usually ramp now. So after 4 trigger pulls it ramps to 12-30 bps depending on the gun and board settings. The invert mini I picked up that I mentioned above ramps to 15bps no problem which is more then fast enough. Mechanical and electric cockers are still available used but not that common because there are just a lot nicer guns out now. Most older cockers have been converted to pumps now like my oracle.

gotta240 · 12-23-2011, 06:01 PM

haha. WTF... This is crazy to me.

PUMPS?!?!?! Like, one pump, one ball? Is it just to make the game more difficult?

Ramping?- So it turns into full auto after 4 pulls of the trigger? Or it just shoots as fast as you can squeeze?

Pumps died off lie 15yrs ago when the spyder came out. They really were the only ones that could get at me. Sucks getting hit in your bracing hand cause that's the only thing sticking out.
Even closed bolt semi's put some top spin on the ball when you start rocking and rolling. You can get a lot more range out of a pump with its flatter trajectory. What's old is new.

Ramping works different ways depending on what league you are in. Some you just have to pull the trigger at a minimum PPS(7.5) others you have to pull the trigger 3 times then hold it down. You are still capped at 10-15 balls per second. They use devices similar to what they use for shooting competitions to count the BPS.
There are also illegal ramping software for leagues and fields that don't allow it. They have usually have variable BPS or it stutters shots to make it look normal. Need a minimum PPS to initiate. Activating the mode is usually hidden also so it will pass tech.

ya pumps is the way to go
i have my autococker that i converted and its sick

gotta240 · 12-24-2011, 03:17 PM

Why is it "sick"?

Cause its different? Or cause it shoots flatter as the guy above said? I dont see how turning a semi-auto into a pump is "sick"? Not being an ass or sarcastic, just still trying to grasp the idea.

DS562 · 12-24-2011, 03:44 PM

honestly, if you're the economic player, pump is the way to go. you can play an entire day with 1000 rounds. pocket hoppers held what? 50rnds? and because you're shooting significantly less than semi-players, your gun's valve recharges more consistently giving you virtually 0 drop.

SoCalDrifter · 12-24-2011, 04:03 PM

anyone looking to buy any guns i have a few i dont play anymore so i could give you a good deal on my guns and equipment i used to play D3 so have alot of good stuff if you need anything send me a pm

Not only this but I notice most pump players tend to be better when using a semi auto because they are more concentrated on each individual shot vs spray and pray. My whole reason for switching to pump was that It's
Much easier on the wallet. It's also fun to take people out that have much more expensive guns, and they look at you and see that you don't have anything fancy and have a huge look of disappointment

omgRWDgoodness! · 12-24-2011, 04:11 PM

I totally forgot to mention this! If any of you have the game Half-Life (the original) for PC, there's a really fun mod for it called Digital Paintball. I'd say it's pretty much as close of a paintball experience as you can get short of gearing up and stepping foot on a real field.

To download it you just have to Google "Digital Paintball 2.1" and choose a source. Make sure you don't get "Digital Paintball Gold" because that's a different version. Add me on Steam if any of you guys decide to try it out, my username is '_fortune'.

rpierce · 12-24-2011, 04:26 PM

I haven't played for a few years. Ran out of money due to motorcycles and cars and the like.

Here was my last gun. I don't have any final pictures but it had a Tadao board and I eventually got a white anodized 2 piece Marq barrel to match before I sold it.

DS562 · 12-24-2011, 07:26 PM

^ one of 2 guns i always wanted. the other is the karnivor.

Tantwoforty · 12-24-2011, 09:59 PM

I love my orracle pump budd orr gave me.. i play with it whenever im not playing a tournament, if you can do anything with a pump you can do with a ego, playing with a ego is like killing a fly with a flame thrower.

brainfood · 12-26-2011, 09:42 AM

I play half day with the pump usually and half day with the G6R, I get a lot more satisfaction out of pump eliminations especially playing against people with ego's that are ramping. Pump has also made me a better semi player because I plan my shots a little more. Wait that extra half second to get a clean shot instead of just shooting at the first thing that moves.

Silverbullet · 12-26-2011, 02:58 PM

Suprisingly I've never played pump, however I am looking to build a custom Autococker for walk on play. Shooting a case and half weekly is a killer on my wallet lol.

I know WGP was praising closed bolt technology back in the days... but I can't believe people still think this!!

Just about all bolts is just an open face venturi bolt from Spyders to Cockers to Proto Matrixes to Egos. Theres no backspin technology going on.

The only way to get more range out of a paintball is using a Tippmann Flatline or that other barrel that puts a back spin on the paintball, but quite honestly, at that extra distance, the paintball wont break on any impact.

I thought I was the only one who played that haha back when I did most of the pros played it too

bigs · 01-03-2012, 10:46 AM

Here was my gun before I sold it. Not the prettiest, but I loved it.

yokotas13 · 01-03-2012, 12:53 PM

i have like a 2003 cocker i want to pump lol. i never really play anymore though
i play airsoft more than anything

brainfood · 01-03-2012, 03:04 PM

Just pick up a ccm kit Grant. Pump is a lot of fun and so rewarding when you get someone with an ego or electro that is ramping like crazy.

yokotas13 · 01-04-2012, 04:37 AM

i play airsoft with two g18cs and a grenade launcher against guys with machine guns.

im used to being crafty

Tantwoforty · 01-23-2012, 02:40 AM

I finally put it back together

tommytwo40hands · 01-23-2012, 09:30 PM

I love pump becuase this gets too easy, i can avrage about 28 bps on simi.
even with my pump i use a vlocity or empire b or some force feed hopper becuase i shoot my pump faster than most spyders.. ill bring like 4 pods out with me and go through all 4, but im talking like having to apply pressure to people and such and playing very aggressively
unless im playing a tournament ill almost always play pump.. i only bring out my ego wheni really need to put the hurt on someone lol
