Thumbs down Promaster for woodsball?

So my uber rich father in law wants to buy a new gun (his tippy 98c I guess is not good enough anymore) so he picked up one of the pb mags at Walmart, and saw a pic for a Promaster.

So now he has it in his head that this would be a great gun based on the looks/stuff he finds on different sites (does not know what a forum is thank god).

Now I would love to have a Promaster, but he is wanting this thing for the games we play our family/friends on his land in the woods. A Promaster confinded to simply woodsball, taking shots at me once a month.

I told him that spending that much on a gun for what we use if for is kind of like driving a car to the neighboors house when their door is only 20 yards from the front door. I asked him if he was wanting to get into tourny play, and stuff at some of the different fields around, and he said not really.

He basicly wants to know if this thing is going to be as durable as his tippy and would this thing be a great woodsball gun? I know it is a top notch gun, but I have no expierince with one.

He has a 98C with a flatline. I am guessing that this thing will shoot farther, and more accuratly? Durability would be a little less because it has a board?

Maybe it's because I know he doesn't need it, but I just have a bad taste in my mouth, and if he gets this thing, I am a dead duck with the Tippy A5 I am about to get.

the gun is fantastic, very light and fast. Also accuracte b/c of how it operates (electro-pneumatic gun) It can be used in the woods like any gun and would dominate. Which sucks for u.

Is it right for him? Hell no. The idiot probably wouldn't even be able to get the clammy open. I doubt he could preform the maintnace it needs like lubing of regs and the ram.

Does he even HAVE compressed air/hpa? If not, don't allow him to get this gun. co2 will destory the noid causing the gun to not work. that's it as far as durability. The gun could take a beating on the field, but i don't think he could keep it running tip-top shape.

Besides, get a nice barrel on your A-5, an E-trigger, and some camo, sit in a bush, wait for him to come by going
*Shootshootshootshootshoot*"Where areeee youuu?!!"
And shoot him in the goggles.

Well I think he forgot about the new paintball gun, because he ended up buying a new shotgun instead. He is super nice, but loves to blow his money.
