Is a new Promaster a safe purchase? - Page 4

I have a few Rainmakers in various states of modification, so I think that makes me part of the 'ghetto electro club'.

Aces
I have never used a rail.

I picked up a Promaster yesterday, in a bright shiny clear anno. It is going to be my first Duracoated piece. I buzzed through a hopper this morning, just to make sure it was working.

The rainmaker is honestly ALMOST too cool to be in the ghetto electro club. I am talking about sad rejects.

Old Proto matrixs.. eventually the original matrix but as it stands there is some love for those guns.

Tribals. Used to have a strong owners group but it seems to be more or less dying.

But really - I am talking things with no value whatsoever. Things we can dremel "piece of turd" into the side of.

Really - you cant make them cool..they must be heinous.

People cant want to join..they have to see your gun and think "what a pile of dog doo" and then you have to shoot them.

Honestly - people often realize pumpers are good player, but what about people with pathetic electro's with no fan club and really no love whatsoever. The ultimate understated gun rig. Impulses can join this club because they are like 90 dollars now.

Maybe its the sub 100 dollar electropneumatic club. Cant be a sear tripper because those never had any value (except mag sear trippers which have a fan club and do not qualify for the ghetto electro club)

Aye. A Spyder with E-frame, or an E-Piranha. No love there.

Mmmm garage sale guns.

BunkerTheWorld · 09-25-2008, 10:06 AM

I ran one for about a year and a half, 2 years and never had any problems. I loved that gun.
It was completely stock, too. Except for the CP ASA w/ rail, because if you buy brand new, it doesn't come with one..
I ran mine with a halo frontman and it never really chopped balls on me either.. And when I took it to the fields around here, people were amazed to see how well it ran because everyone looks down on ICD Promasters.

I would highly suggest getting one, though.

I just got a brand new Lasoya on ebay for $120 shipped. I swear they would have let it go for $100. They have them with buy it now of $149.99, and I made a best offer. I'm almost temped to offer $80 for a second one.

If you keep watch on ebay for firstcall paintball listing. Once you see a promaster listed at 100.00, make a best offer of 60.00 and you'll get it.

Shipping cost 16 bucks though, so you end up with a 86 dollars shipped promaster.

I just got 2, 2 days ago.

I ran one for a bit, then realized I hated electros. And I am currently in the process of retrading it for an A-5, which is what I traded for the Promaster in the first place. A-5's are just so much simpler. Not to mention they run on CO2.
