i loved semis just fine... till i bought a splatty

well this is my first post so..here it goes

i have always played semi but then i bought two splatmasters on ebay.
it is so fun playing with limited ammo and air. i love the challenge
and theres nothinng better than getting a speedballer out with a 18 + year old bolt action pistol!

and now im love with these brass guns you guys are collecting!
and would love to own one!
which is the best to start out with?
CA, DF, stock class....which is the best optios to have?

is it more fun to restore one or get it in decent condition?

thanks beforhand for the help

In my opinion, brass is best in SC form. A pmi-1 is probably the best of the bunch in terms of handling, size, barrel length and efficiency. PMI-IIs are great if you want to use a backbottle or a nice air-through tstock to a remote.

Oh, and nice choice on the splatties. They're great little guns. The best sidearm ever made, in my opinion.

like Russc sez, the SC (feed tube) brass is the best, I prefer a pm-1, but some people can handle a pgp just as well.

Even ones in decent condition could use a little customization or restoration.....


another good choice is a phantom, but any nelson design will do, Traccer, Maverick.... etc.....

Piranha sb or LB if you shoot too much and don't wanna pay for 12 grams (like me.) or a PMI-I or p-68 for sc. or better yet, get a kp with 12 grams (although thats gonna be a little pricier.)

Welcome to our world.

I would recommend a PMI-1SC with speed loader and faast changer.

It's a lot harder to find but if you can snag one a Pursuit Pistol is an ideal little stock class brass gun. I just recently acquired one myself and I like it a lot more than all the PGP's I've tried, and more than a P68SC.

I'd recommend a PGP to start, they are so cheep and plentiful but hold value well. You can get one, try it, and sell it without losing more then what you paid shipping. They are always on the market and always in demand.
