just use your tippy, forget the flatline barrel and stock, just pick up a jj barrel kit for it, it'll work just fine like that, but remember its still a big gun so playing back is going to be your friend...

but get a pump ;P check the b/s/t pumps on here also check

You can get so many great guns for cheap right now its ridiculous.

Personally I would pick up one of the following guns, and all are less then $250 if you shop around.

2004-05 MacDev Cyborg
Proto PM5
FEP Quest

All will keep up with just about any marker on the field. Plus all three are easy to maintain and very reliable.

Just my 2 1/2 cents....

im not a newb about taking them about and im not worryed about that ill get my local shope to show me how the first time i want to know what is more reliable and gonna help me play middle on the team me and my friends want to make

Well I would say get a Mini
other people would say an Ion,Vibe,Spyder etc...
others would say a PMR, Eos. etc...

A lot those are the people who have never had a prolem with their marker.
And some of those are people that own those same markers and have had problems their markers.

You just have to pick what you like the looks of and what feels good and hope for the best

I'd go with inpulse(for electro, mine has never had a problem) or a cheap used pump cocker. imp is heavier but it's EP, and can use co2, and with an aftermarket bolt it's decently efficient. pump cocker is very light, and will probably help you play better in the long run.
EDIT: Duh, mini, it's wicked, tons of other guns are going for rediculously cheap now, especially because it's winter.
look around BST and play with guns in local shops.
Don't worry about buying pants jerseys and stuff. Though kneepads may be a decent idea if you find yourself getting on your knees a lot ::maybedodgy::

[mouse87]

get an alien interceptor-it rips

[skydiver101]

i wouldnt go with the ion if you dont want to spend alot of money.i have one and i love it but i dont mind spendin money on ups.and youll wantto if you get an ion.i would go with an older high end marker or a new pmr i think theyre only 250 now new from proto.

This has turned into a "this gun rocks - the rest suck" thread. Time to go..
