What marker do you use as a backup in the woods? I have a Pro/Carbine that I use now and am looking to get a new backup for the woods(my Agressor wasn't cutting it) , I really don't know what I want to get so I figured I'd ask around here.

Spyder Rodeo maybe $110

You have a procarbine... and you need a backup marker? Something is seriously wrong with that statement.

Well...I just want a new marker and consider it a backup marker.

Lord Headley · September 16th, 05:28 PM

hahahaha, that's more like it! ProCarbines never let ya down.

May i ask why you want a new marker? I mean, unless you dump some serious money down and get yourself a higher end marker, you're not going to find something that performs better then a ProCarbine, especially for woodsball.

If i were you, i would upgrade the Carbine the best you can. New barrel, hpa, and lighten up your trigger pull. If you can look for an aftermarket trigger frame, they do have them btw, very rare. There are lighter internals you can buy from AirTipps that have great reviews.

Carbines are very sweet markers, don't count them out. Yea they arent as flashy and pretty as other markers on the market, but they can definitely hold their ground. I still use a Carbine to this day, and i would never dream of balling without my carbine as a backup to my mag. New things are nice, but just remember, the saying "they dont make 'em like they used to" is VERY true in the case of the Carbine.

I don't wanna ditch my marker. I just like buying markers. I figure I'll use this one as a backup just incase I f-up my Carbine somehow.

BushmasterMAN · September 16th, 05:37 PM

thats a saweet carbine Headley!!!!!

**Brockocoli** · September 17th, 06:26 AM

i just got my new Piranha from xpaintball and will be using my victor for backup for now...would a procarbine be a good investment for woods???

**olddfatbulldog** · September 17th, 09:29 AM

Best gun for woods in my opinion. Compared to all the other guns I've used.

**GBRudy16** · September 17th, 09:42 AM

if you can get your hot little hands on one... I haven't checked lately but I knowthey are harder to get than when they were actually making the guns. Might be paying a pretty penny for one nowadays. God I feel old I remember when it came out.

**spedhunter88** · September 19th, 07:20 PM

ok let me just say this as far as tippmanns go u can not f them up there is no way they are like tanks my friend spen half an hour smashing his 98c up against a tree and a rock and it didnt break

**Brockocoli** · September 20th, 07:45 AM

ill get one in a while after i pay off all my stuff. Would i need a revvy/reloader for a procarbine or would a standard gravity hopper be a good choice....

and the price is about 145 on xpaintball...

**Roadkill** · September 20th, 08:14 AM

Grav is fine on a carbine

Sped, thats semi true, my freind used the wrong oil for a while and swelled his orings and now he has to order new ones.

**Brockocoli** · September 20th, 09:30 AM

lol yeah silentkill really messed his 98c up...be careful with marker oil

i've never met someone so stupid as to be able to f' up a tippy that wasn't fixable in the feild...

**disazterbound** · September 26th, 08:48 AM

its practically impossible to f-up tippys. and if your really gonna get a new marker invest in it, make it a good one. but that pro-carbine will last you a long time

**Apache** · September 26th, 07:31 PM

well if u leave out ur ball detent and forget to put it in u cant fix that at the field :P

**Roadkill** · September 26th, 07:45 PM

Ok, i got my sl-68, and i used it in a game of "speedball in the woods" (wtf?) lets just say taht round sucked cuz u cant play speedball in the woods very well. And it was low on c02 so i had to lob considerably.

**dhill0413** · September 27th, 11:18 AM

try getting a 98c and a response trigger....with an egg.

thatd be a nice backup
