Pump Marker

A NewB just poosted a Question in the NewB section on what marker he should get to improve his game Im copying my answer here as well since I think this is where it belongs:

Acctually I think U should post in the Pump Forum - We do try to help U know allthough I try to help here as well.

If U want to improve your game and U allready have a SEMI there are a couple of things U Will want:
* C/A - i.e. don't go stock.
* No bigger then a 12 oz tank, U won't need it anyway.
* A Anti-Syphon or a Syphon. I prefer a Syphon since I can use lighter springs that way.
* A accurate marker - since U will be fighting at a 1/4th to 1/10 of the ROF U need to make your rounds count.
* A light pump action with Slamfire - hmmmm thats the verb the right term is.... don't remember however it is when you hold the trigger and just pump and the next round is fired automatically.

I havn't tried the Hammer but ppl seems to like it, but I would recommend getting a Phantom, a springkit, a 12 oz syphon and then use Ure regular Hopper and other stuff.

The Phantom barrel os good-very good from start but when I played tourney (only Pumps were legal then) the phantomplayers got a better ported barrel and a new bolt for their phantoms. If U can find an old Sterling STP that might be a good deal as well allthough spareparts are a little hard to find.

Now all those markers are in the 200++ range if U don't want to spend that much a Trracer with up:ed barrel and a Anti-Syphon will set U up. A syphon is not that good on a Trracer since U have the valve basically right behind the ball and I don't know if there are any good bolts to buy for the Trracer to distribute the gas evenly.
