| Why are pumps so Expensive. The idea of a pump seemed realy cool. Super fun and challenging to shoot, save paint, learn better tactics and movement. But searching for one to fit my spec that isnt $500.00 plus has prooved thoroughly discouraging. I thought pumps being simpler mechanicly would be cheaper. Boy was i wrong. No wonder you dont see anybody using them in rec ball.

| Which pumps are you looking at? What are your "specs?" You can get a used Trracer for well under $100. Also, you can get a 2k+ Autococker and buy a pump kit (CCM Deluxe or standard kit) for under $200 after buying both.

| A new phantom, in 2 color acid wash, is like $300... If you haven't even tried pump yet, how do you even have "specs"? Not to be rude, but how can you know what you are even looking for?

| Maybe his specs are "Lapco Grey Ghost" PGPs are dirt cheap and Ebay usually has tons of them for sale.

| Just roughly scanning the first page of the pump section here and there are markers for 150, 220, 60, 100....all of which are good shooters and perfect for a starter in pump. As everyone has stated....not sure what you want that's 550. |
