/me wips out uber arsenal of Paintguns

I really hate to brag, but I have what is considered by most professional players to be the best gun on the market. (I play professionaly too) The Matrix LCD marker is as quiet as a mouse click (compaired to an angels loud but really not really loud poping). It is statisticly the most accurate gun on the market. It also is the second fastest (only the angels which are 1000 more can out shoot my gun) - 26.2 balls persecond. (All those elctro frames that shoot for you are for pansys who cant pull the trigger fast, I pull at around 18 - 20 bps. The gun is NOT automatic. Tournies dont let you use assisted firing modes, its all up to your hand.) The gun has an interchangable breach which means I can put any barrel on it. The gun shoots with an internal pressure of around 65 psi (compaired to everything else on this list which shoot at 200 or more, PS less is best). That means I can hold a paintball in the breach and in the feed at the same time and TRY to chop the paint. It wont do it.

http://www.thematrixcenter.com/pc/vi...&idproduct=127-Keep in mind that this is bare bones gun. Mine is tricked out. (custom milling, old school volumizers, better inline reg, bolt kit)

Next on the list is 2 Zues G2's from Armotech. I have all the addons you can get with them and then some of my own.
http://www.armotech.com/product/wargame/Zeus-main.asp

The next two guns are used in senario games only. I dont use them indoor speed ball and tournaments. The Matrix and Zues' are for that. The '65 is my outdoor primary. The '75 is my indoor primary b/c its shorter. (its worn on back outdoors but when I move into a town I switch up) The pistols also come with me with 4 extra clear 10 round tubes for each in custom stitched holsters.

Next up is the Armotech WG-65 (an M4/ M16 replica) with all the addons (note all addons for this are interchangeable with the WG-75)
http://www.armotech.com/product/wargame/65-main.asp - keep in mind on this one that I can make the gun look like any of them and more

Next is WG-75 which is a MP-5 Replica.
http://www.armotech.com/product/wargame/75-main.asp

Acctual Pics of my equipment are coming soon. I have no digi cam. PS if u doubt the power of my Matrix LCD ask (shit i frgt his name lol) on IRC.

Just be smart and buy a tippmann 98 Custom beginners package and try to get a 20oz CO2 Tank. Co2 for the most part is really cheap I get my 20oz tank filled for 2.50 and thats about 800-1000 shots I believe. When you buy paintballs be sure you gonna play a bunch of times and buy like 2000 online from http://www.888paintball.com or something

they also sell guns and beginner packages as well, this is where I order my stuff.

The Tippmann is a formidable opponent. Mainenance is a bitch, you have to literally crack the gun in half to clean. However it shoots well. NOTE: Avoid the Flatline barrel. It's curved to make balls go farther, but it will break a lot of balls in the barrel. It gets VERY dirty. However the accuracy is very good.

I have heard Spyders are unreliable, and mine froze up on me a few times but it was because I was firing like a madman and it was cold.

Another thing that I personally avoid is an automatic hopper. It has a spinning propeller type thing to make the balls go down faster. It works, but it can also blend your balls. Not fun. I don't have one.

I get my stuff from this old guy who I think was a Vietnam vet. He owns a surplus store. He can change from Hispanic to Veteran instantly.

Bighoss · 2003-11-06, 08:07 PM

yes defiently avoid the flatline, two kids I play with have it and they are always cleaning the barrel out in the field! I'm gonna order a Night stick they seem very good. I might go with the boom stick though!

Peacemaker · 2003-11-06, 08:34 PM

... Flatline rocks. If ur breaking paint ur using the wrong sized paint or u set it up wrong. I started with a tippy wit flatline. It was awsome.

firecrackerNC · 2003-11-06, 08:42 PM

Impulser here,just started my team few months ago,been to a few tournys,got a local sponsor.Best damn game eva!! oh and my friends got flatline and paint NEVER breaks in his.Only time it ever broke in his gun was when we played in 20 degree weather

uh theyre actually not plastic, theyre soluable balls made of vegetable oil

i have my own speedball field where i play with my friends, one has a Matrix LED, the other a Rat Impulse LCD, really nice guns, i use one of their tippys

if you want to become really interested get a higher priced gun, also use pbreview.com they review lots of guns and it helps to decide which to buy, and a whole 'nother forum to whore

dont listen to any of that. dont buy delta pistols, they're useless. the Armortech WG-65 is cool but not a real paintball gun. dont show him the matrix if hes starting out, its a $900 gun. btw, laser sights, or added sights of any kind are pointless and stupid. they're poser products. your Matrix LCD does not have 22 bps. theres no hopper out there that can keep up with that. not even the halo a or b. use www.shop4paintball.com

www.paintballgear.com is good too but it takes forever to come in. when I had a spyder electra DX it took 3 weeks to ship.

JetRaiden · 2003-11-06, 10:26 PM

As of now Im sponsored by Atwood Paintball, Boston Paintball, and next summer I plan on doin tourneys for either Freak or JT.

Kikinchikin · 2003-11-06, 10:37 PM

thanks so far for your input i'm going to try it out with my friend when he hopefully comes down this month from NC.

One thing that i heard from him (may not be true) but he said that if people freeze the paintballs and then hit you in the right place in your head it can kill you. Is this true? However he also said that its impossible to truly "freeze" a paintball, that you can make it really really cold but the only way to get a true freeeze effect would be to shoot it like right as you take it out of the freezer.

AztecWarrior · 2003-11-06, 10:51 PM

The only way to get seriously hurt is to take off your mask and get shot in the eye. NEVER TAKE OFF YOUR MASK. NEVER PLAY WITHOUT ONE.

Do not go cheap on your mask. If you can't see, you can't shoot. Goggles don't cut it.

Frozen paintballs could concievably fracture an unmasked player, but I don't think it would penetrate through.

Kikinchikin · 2003-11-07, 08:05 AM

right well he was saying if you got hit in the back of the head where some masks dont protect. Frankly if there is any risk involved with that, I will just buy a full head mask.

JetRaiden · 2003-11-07, 05:00 PM

Well it doesnt hurt that bad to get hit in the head.

One thing that i heard from him (may not be true) but he said that if people freeze the paintballs and then hit you in the right place in your head it can kill you. Is this true? However he also said that its impossible to truly "freeze" a paintball, that you can make it really really cold but the only way to get a true freeeze effect would be to shoot it like right as you take it out of the freezer

yes if the gun is cronoed high with freezed balls it probably can kill you if you get hit in the temple. they usually check all the paintballs you use to make sure they're not frozen.

Do some research man, halo B and A feed at 22.6 bps. Warp feed can feed at 28 something bps. The WG-65 IS a paintgun, it shoots PAINTBALLS. Its just a sim gun.
I dont have delta's the Zues G2's are better (barrel extensions and such). The laser sights are worth something. They are extremly bright and I can shoot off the hip with the sight and be fairly accurate (on the Zues Pistols they rock). The scopes are for looks and looking at ppl from a long way. But u can use it to snipe if theres no wind. Dont call things poser products if u dont know what ur talkin about. They add realism to the weapon. ITS A SIM GUN. Getting laser sights on a speedball gun is pointless. But puting that stuff on a gun that is biult for it for ppl who wanna show off. I am an experienced 10 year player of paintball. dont even think of tryin to shoot me down.
