http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/4938/ Check that out. It's a bunch of reviews about that gun. From the ratings, it looks like a good gun.
Azodin Blitz are nice. Especially if you wanna play some speedball and some woodsball. I have a Tippy X7 with response trigger. The thing is great for woodsball but, as with all Tippmanns, it's less than useless in speedball. Normally I just borrow my mates spare Ego on the rare occasion I do play speedball. The X7 is great for scaring noobies on open game days in the woods. It sounds like a Thompson SMG at close range, and since NZ gun laws state that no gun can fire more than one bullet per trigger pull (including Paintball guns), it's as close to fully automatic fire you can get. I've got it tuned to almost 16 bps. Not as much as a decent speedball gun with ramping, but close. And my gun can survive any fall and any weather conditions. I'd recommend investing in some plastic bags if you get an electronic hopper.
yeah it looks great. air efficiency is probably the X7s biggest weakness. especially if you're using CO2 (which unfortunately in NZ is the only thing most fields will have unless you bring your own scuba tank), it chews through a 20oz cannister in just over a hoppers worth of balls. so hopefully the phenom will come through on its promise of better efficiency.
I just tried out my Blitz yesterday and it worked really great. All I need to get for it is an electronic hopper because the one I have wasn't feeding fast enough, and probably a clamping feedneck. I don't like the stock feedneck on it. Other than that, it's very nice.
cooool, if you want more firing modes, just send it to azodin and theyll flash your board and give you like 3 shot, psp, pretty much anything you want as long as its not ridiculous, for free
Not exactly. *On topic: I'm going to be going paintballing next Sunday. I'll be able to try out my friend's DM6 he is buying from someone else.
I'm going paintballing for the first time ever on Saturday at a friends party...we don't have --- guns or anything (whatever the people at the place give us) so all you experts, explain it all. All tactics, all of what you mean, pain, which way your doodle hangs, everything.
Try get a good mask, with as few scratches as possible. A good mask is more important than a good gun. You could have a $2,000 marker (gun), and still get owned by a guy with a rusty old Tippmann 98C if you have a crappy mask. You can't hit what you can't see, and on a relatively humid day and a scratched up mask, you can't see anything at all. Also, I don't know if there'll be an ammo limit there, but either way you don't wanna be paying for tons of paintballs. Be conservative with your shots. Don't try shoot people through branches or bushes, because the paint will just break on them. Also, only shoot if you see someone, and don't just fire at any random sound you hear. Also, never take your mask off in a firing zone. You can get seriously f*cked up. Also never take your barrel cover / safety off in a non-firing area. You can get kicked off fields or shot in the foot if you do. Other than that just remember your army training.
Thanks for the advice. The second point, I was already planning. There is a minimum 56 ball limit to play and then you can buy additional ammo on top of that but I figure, why waste my money? Just conserve ammo and take accurate shots. I've played enough shooting games to be an expert in the field (you heard me) so I'll just be my super stealthy Sam Fisher self and just sneak up on them and <strike>stab them in the back with my knife</strike> <strike>shoot them at point blank range in the back of their head</strike> <strike>hold them hostage</strike> shoot them.
