Paintball

[Drum]

Well, I like Mar's point... whichever you might choose, we all win as P=ballers having two companies making us guns like these.

Also, I will mirror the other points about buy better paint. You could shoot good paint through a Nel-spot and still do better than guys armed with S6's and Pyres and shooting that crappy white box mess.

There is, imho, no way to spend enough on a gun to make good paint out of bad.

Good luck,

I have an VF S5 w/ AT'ed CCM J2 frame and delux kit -- later moved it over to my Rf 99 Free Flow. Normally I play w/ short 9,12 and 16oz tanks to help keep the shoulder in tight and the weight to a minimum. I also run RF evolution snipers on a regular basis. Ive tried out Grendels RF Pyre008 and Chappy's S6... I play w/ 20mm red dots on everything. Makes the first shot more likely, and the second one dead on. I dig oldstyle kaner barrels, belsales hardware, pps stabs, and keep a sly kit handy for when the paint is less than round or heavily seamed.

Sounds like you like Snipers -- grew up w/ them so to speak. I highly recommend you run w/ a pyre for a day or two before plunking down the coin on one. With an s6 you know what you are getting into. Its a light S5 - and a bit quicker.

After messing w/ Grendel's Pyre some, I dont have any desire for one - but I cant really put into words why. Likely Im just hung up on what Im used to.

Tip of the day: up your pressure some and back off your main spring on your snipers... Try a 10" tip and some shorty co2 tanks. those fat 9's are nice and cheap... 13CI w/ Myth is kind of kinky, no?

a little more background, as well as the source of my funding and the desire to fill the hole my buzzard used to fill.
WTT/WTS Buzzard for Pyre

well that being said... seeing as how your markerless and all.. ive always been more of a phantom guy myself, or you could have palmers make you something thats a little more your taste.. i really like those grey ghost 2000's as well

Thumper has played with my s6 now ex s6 as the vert thing just not my thing on a pump. I now run a RF FF running low pressure on, dye ul barrel, ccm pump with rainman hitman mod and i can hit anything i point the barrel at. If ccm made a RF S6 I would be all over it as they are great pumps, PPS you get what you pay for as the saying goes as you pay top dollar you getting a top notch marker

I say the '06 ghosts are better than the phantoms. The phantoms, though, have the versatility and barrel selection....I still haven't heard of anyone who's found a spyder-threaded barrel that will fit on a '06 Ghost yet.

Anyway, if he's used to sheridan-based markers, then recommending a nelson isn't helpful. Both may shoot darn straight, but if you're more used to single tube, then going double tube is going to seriously feel strange and not so natural, and vice versa. And then there are those ambi-tubers.....about as common as those ambi-turners

Yea, I just parted with a really nice buzzard... my only complaints being the nelson valvetrain not cycleing with the speed and ease of my CCM'ed sniper and that the .689 barrel was really not doing so well with paint that rolls out of a .682 barrel... I have bought several kinds of paint from several places and that seems to be the norm for anything that has been in this climate for very long.

Ive had several phantoms, never learned to like 'em. The new ghost is sexy, but after that buzzard any nelson would have a very tough act to follow. I've ruled it down to the S-6 (being the latest and greatest incarnation of the sniper platform) and the pyre (being, on paper at least, the ultimate pump gun).

My laidies, the buzzard will be going to Hawaii and the purple gun will probably be parted out and the body put back on wallhanger status... Looking for something to replace that pair... and its gonna be a S-6 or a pyre

[Tracker]

yeah dont let me get my hands on that body.. ill make a slideframe mech out of it

faster than you can ask "what the heck?"

Well, I honestly do think that as far as sheridans go, the Pyre IS the ultimate pump gun in design. The S6, though, is the prettiest sheridan-based pump I've seen. I do think that for all pumps, Carters are the prettiest guns out there, though.
