What exactly is your budget?

Assassin0820 · August 5th, 01:43 PM

It can be any of those or any of them in that general area. Or around 200.00

Here are a few other i was also thinkin about

1. Tippman 98 custom platinum with ACT and a response trigger.

2. Tippman A-5

3. Tippman 98 custom platinum with ACT and a E- Grip

I don't like the A5, seems like a bigger 98 with a football on the side of the gun =/
I still like my vs1, great woodsball gun, and if you really want the flatline effect just get a apex barrel(pm if you want to buy one for the spyder).

Assassin0820 · August 5th, 02:34 PM

Is the Vs1 really good for woodland because that is where i play and is it really upgrade able

as asked before, what is your total budget? also, how often do you plan on playing? do you have access to compressed air?

**MyMonkey** · August 5th, 05:14 PM

Good questions above. HPA? How often? What type of play do you prefer? Do you like to lay and wait or run around spraying and praying?

I like to launch a lot of paint so I would get something that has a nice decent rate of fire like the Smart Parts SP1. That way, you can use it in other game types as well. I also like the Tippmans for woodsball, the A5 has a nice ROF.

I think he said around $200
So vs1(136)tank(15ish from actionvillage.com)Hopper(60 eye force) thats just alittle over $200
Assuming you get everything new, try finding a used one or something.

Assassin0820 · August 5th, 09:24 PM

I can spen a little over $200 is my budget i play a few times a month and i like to pop up and shoot so i dont wait too much.

Assassin0820 · August 6th, 08:23 AM

Thanks to all of your suggestions i am deciding between two gun

1. Tippman custom pro platinium and ACT painted camo

2. SP1 and some accesories

**tlmiller** · August 6th, 08:25 AM

I'd take the SP1 myself.

Assassin0820 · August 6th, 09:02 AM

thats what i was thinking but y

**tlmiller** · August 6th, 10:21 AM

It's not as overpriced as the Tippman, it's faster than the tippman, and not as likely to chop paint as the tippman.

Uphoria · August 7th, 01:01 PM

I have the tippy platinum series with the ACT and have shot about 2 cases of paint through it and chopping hasn't been a problem at all. Mostly just barrel breaks from when I was using crummy rec paint.

Assassin0820 · August 7th, 01:12 PM

well i have a Tippman 98 custom now which is what iw as going to get rid of becuase its such an older model but should i get the SP-1 it looks really nice and does it have a e-grip?

The sp1 is fires like a tippmann with a egrip, full auto, semi, and 3 shot? but its better cause it uses less air, drop it in water and bring it back up and it still shoots(great for river plays), and less kick/lighter.

lil_b9d1 · August 8th, 12:05 AM

I own the tippmann 98 custom Platnium series marker, and so far im loving it, no issues, very durable and up gradable.

***TheAznInvazn*** · August 8th, 12:29 AM

The SP1 does not fire like a Tippmann with an e-grip.

1. SP1 is a fully electro pneumatic spool valve marker (shoots very smooth), Tippmann 98c is a bulky blowback marker (high recoil, inconsistant, inefficient)

2. SP1 has a low force bolt (close to zero chops), Tippmann 98c even with ACT puts more force on paint

3. SP1 costs around the same as a stock Tippmann 98c, to get a 98c to shoot anything like an SP1, you'd need to drop some cash into it, while the SP1 is ready to rock.
