i can't put into words how much i love phantoms. really, i can't. its a feel. when you pick one up, you know deep down inside this is the gun you will live or die behind.

I just picked up a Acid wash Green/Black Phantom on pbn This will be a stocked, ghostringed, "long rifle" and my slate phantom will be a nice indoor / airball gun. Oh How I love my phantoms.

I love my phantom. I've owned it since october of 2002, only now am I getting a hopper adaptor for it. I've had a punisher's undercocking kit on it for the past couple years and I think it's the best addition I've ever made to a gun. I can't wait to hear the oh-shit's when I bust it out with the hopper on at the next pump day.

I dont think i could ever play with a stockclass setup, especially when half the players have full auto tippys or an electro.
I love my 50rd hopper, but it still doesnt last to long when autotriggering.
One time i heard this one player tell his friend that he was was eliminated by the "pump player" and he argued that it couldnt be me because he didnt think there was any way a pump could shoot that fast.

It's funny,

I play at Predator in San Antonio, TX. Sometimes the refs will intentionally divide me up with the high end electro guys before dividing the teams. It's pretty awesome when the refs consider the guy with the phantom a high end user!!! It always gives me a chuckle

My uncle bought my Phantom in the early 90s. I use it today. Only additions is a bottom line, CF body, and a CCM frame. Still shoots lasers.

I usually play at Paintball Knights, but once I get my Phantom back up and running, I'll head over to Predator and hopefully you and I can have a good old fashioned Phantom showdown.

i let my cousin shoot my phantom tonight, he said it made him want to start playing paintball. i told him most newbies thought that pumps were stupid, and he called them idiots

i love mine, it is soo nice.

Sweet idea Menso!

I'm lucky to get out there once a month though! However go over on Sundays and you'll find all pump play after 2:00 pm. I know some of the guys out there and they are a bunch of quality players. Al from the proshop is also out there playing on Sundays usually.

For me nothing is really nice about them. I like them because they work well and parts are cheap.

Really nothing to complain about with them. Just good guns.
