Im new to these forums, i have been playing wood ball for about 2 years. I have a Tippmann M16 tactical, its a nice gun for me.

What site do you guys recommend to buying gun parts off of? I want to get a laser and maybe a flash light also a longer barrel..

Welcome to the site.

With that said, forget about the laser because it won't do you any good. The flash light might be fun for night games, and remember anything longer than 16" wouldn't be a good choice for a barrel.

i was going to go with the 14in barrel.

So laser is a bad idea, i want to install a grip but from what i researched i have to buy a new hand guard which is 100+ bucks.

14in is what I prefer in a barrel. And laser is a bad idea because the paintball will never go where your pointing the laser. And honestly I wouldn't buy anything for that marker but, a good electric hopper, HPA, and a new barrel. For a barrel look at the J&J. Nice barrel for the price.

An electric hopper would have helped me today....i cant even count how many times i had to shake my gun during fire fights, lol.

ya dont go crazy with upgrades for a entry level marker you can never turn it into a mid level marker or a high end like some people will argue. a good hopper will make it so you do not have to shake it and will not chop paint, HPA will make it more consistant and more accurate (by a small amount and not in every condition) and the barrel will help with accuracy and if you go with a J&J it will shoot out breaks very well (something most barrels can not do very well) after you have those three things stop and save money for a new marker, nothing you do to this one from this point on will be worth whatever you are spending on it

well ok....but like i said its a good marker for me...i dont plan on becoming an elite paintballer and i dont see the need to spend 500+ dollars on a gun.....but thanks

what he is saying, is that you should spend money on things that are worthwhile. A flashlight is only worth it if you play at night. A lazer is not worth it at all, plus it's dangerous to point at people.

Indeed
I'd rather buy a case of paint and go paintballing then buy a laser anyways

A nice hopper, and a J&J ceramic barrel will be fine for you
Look into the Invert Too hopper or the VL Eye-Force

ok i see, i know the light is just for looks bascialy.

That's a waste of money in my opinion. Why buy something you'll never use?
