need cheap/accurate for woods

i played speedball and woodsball today for the first time in years, and although i liked both, i definitely did better at woods (borrowed my buddies' tippmann something or other (seemed similar to the 98 i used before)

anyway, i'm looking for a gun that is cheap (under 100) but is most importantly very accurate (i read that matching the paint to barrel and stuff is very important and i read up on the barrel lengths and stuff). i don't take all that many shots per game and i definitely don't need any crazy paint job or super fast trigger, or any type of sight. i also prefer the tank to be on the bottom for use as a stock.

what do you recommend?

If you did good with your friends tippman, get a used tippman. They're very reliable, as you have read, with a good barrel as accurate as anything else, and will fit what you want perfectly.

thanks. although i liked the gun, the only thing i didn't like was the long trigger pull. one of those dual trigger thingies should remedy this, right?

Yes, you could even get a reactive trigger, or an etrigger for it (although either of those would put it beyond what you wanted to spend off the bat). Another gun you MIGHT have an interest in is a used autococker. The trigger is very adjustable on them, they're very reliable, again with a good paint-barrel match have great accuracy. Many people are intimidated by them however as they take a bit of knowledge to work on. Once properly set up though, an autococker is as simple for routine maintenance as a tippman. And used mech cockers now are going for under $100.

it's a type of paintball marker. essentially it's a pump marker that recocks itself. there's many many brands and models of it.
