I have to question your motives of buying it if you're scared of playing with it. If it's your first marker you made a big mistake in buying it. Go ahead and keep it, buy buy a $100 spyder and use that for at least a few months, learn how to take care of it ,etc etc before using that ego. there's too many things you can do to break it if you don't know any better.

(sniper,shadowrunner,hammer,sabre,demo,
mercinary,support,medic,paladin)

ok yea then I'm just straight regular woodsball I just thought using the ego would be fun since i get owned using the a - 5 and everyone i'm playing with is using an ion so a ego should teach them a lesson and people tell me different things with a 68/4500 tank how many shots should I get cause I'm at like 3200 psi left and shot 453 shots?

I personally never use my speedball marker in the woods. i do this for a couple reasons but the main one is that I have the worse luck when it comes to paintball markers, so I never bring out my Quest in the woods.

That and it saves money to play with a slower marker. Hence why I play with my pump in the woods.

But I am not using a freakin pump thats for sure I would rather use the tippmann then a pump but just for fun I will just save my money and use the ego and just be careful not to dive into the dirt

And that has what to do with the thread?

You do realize i pwn ego's with my pump. It's about the player not the marker.
