I rarely play anymore, and sold my guns about a year ago. Oddly enough, I work at a paintball retailer and field, but after dealing with all the morons who play paintball for the last 2.5 years, I'm pretty much burnt out on the sport.

god i haven't played paintball in forever. i have a 2001 sto autococker and a 2003 impulse. i know that isnt really saying much these days but they kicked ass back then. What are prices like these day? I haven't seen a paintball mag or even talked to anyone in paintball in like, 2 years? I need an update.

If you're looking for anything decent... expect to pay a pretty penny. Especially, if you're into the Tourny guns.

Actually, the sport is cheaper than ever. You can get a complete tourny-level setup for around $600. For more casual/woodsball you can spend about $300 or less and be set.

It's not easy, well its not difficult, but its hard to compete with teams from schools like UConn whose team gets money from the school for pretty much anything they need, not to mention a place to practice whenever they want and all the other stuff.

I haven't seen any Tourny gun worth a damn under 1k then again.. I play scenario paintball and don't keep up with Tourny markers. From what I remember if you want a decent marker you'll have to pump out the cash.

However, If you're finding scenario markers for under 300 you're getting a damn good deal. Cuz all mine cost me well over 600.

If you put some money into it, an Ion can be a tourny marker no problem. I was referring to something like a PMR with an Ultralite frame on it for $375, or a Mini for around $350. Now, you can spend $900+ if you want on a DM8 or a Eg08 or whatever, but the price/performance ratio there is not even close to the less expensive guns.

As for scenario ball, most of the money is on aesthetic upgrades (making it look like a real gun), not performance.

On a side note, there's really no reason to buy a cocker these days. The design is outdated and inferior to pretty much any open-bolt stacked-tube or spool valve gun.

Last guns I owned were the first version of the Black Magic Autococker and an Impluse whenever those came out (feels like a really long time ago). Did the Impulse ever really catch on? That thing was fucking fantastic at the time, especially for the price.

Most of my cash actually goes into upgrading the gun, not the cosmetics.
Though, some cash has been dumped into that as well.
My scenario gun has pretty much everything you'll find in a Tourny gun. But with it's current barrel.. I find it to be a bit more accurate than the tourny gun I have.
