Ok im looking to buy a cheap tribal, but whats so bad about um???

[tonysk83]

Ok i no tribals arent made anymore, and that airsoldier guy does modes and tune ups on up, but why did they go out of business, i remember someone putting up a list all the bad things about um, i no the good but i need the bad

also this is the gun im lookign at, im really interested in tribals because i heard awesome preformence, low price tag, and no one else will have one, which i like to be different

o yea, also they seem like they jsut come with a gas thru foregrip, do i need a reg, which i assume i do

[CrazyB]

That's not a gas through, those are stock regulators. They probably should be replaced, they have a very low long term working rate. Also Have Blue(from airsoldiers.com)'s chip that offers mode is Warlord and is unaviable, but they come with different firing modes if that's your thing.

I heard the company tanked due to CEO stealing money, but I cannot confirm. I would have to say the bad is that you have to know how to maintain and setup a marker. If you do not want to mess around with it from time to time, you shouldn't get a tribal. On that note I am not saying they are complicated, they are like an impulse maintance wise, but it's a little more responsibility then a spyder or a tippman.

My personal luck has been 5 tribals, 2 have been in perfect playing condition when i got them here, the other 3 needed(some still need some love) work before they could be fielded, this is mainly due to AOC missettings, solenoid abuse, and broken wires, all of which just require a bit of patience and a bit of work.

[tonysk83]

i heard the wires are really thin and junky, also did u see that auction i showed u??? is 229 good deal, also it says never used, which is hard to believe, also im willing to spend moeny on it, but lets say will it preform well to about may, then im going to deck it out and mill it

gettin tired of posting..

AIM me at BenD550 with all your questions, I'll anwser them all

I personally would not buy that gun off ebay.. It could say new and in box but I don't even see a box present. If you are going to buy a gun, do it off somebody from PBNation.com.

The tribal community there is a tight one or check the one for sale at airsoldier.com

I got a tribal off ebay and it was total junk. For that much money, you are WAY better off searching the boards and getting it from a reliable user.

Stay away from Ebay =/

I e-mailed the seller of that marker twice about 1/2 an hour after he posted....... In the first e-mail I asked the seller how he knew it was "NEW", he said that's what he was told when he bought. In the second e-mail I asked if he had aired it up and fired it to see if it worked. He never replied & it's been 2 days.
I say you can do better.......

[Drakha]

Yes, I would definitely stay away from ebay.

I've bought guns off ebay(that's how i got my addicted) but Trading on pbnation has yielded much better results.

[Drakha]

That buyer sounds shady as well.. Claims it works but has never even shot it. PBNation is definitely your best bet or somebody from pbreview... I'd check with fearfactory or airsoldier as well.. Those are probably the two most trusted tribal guys who can do just about anything for ya.

You pay $200 or so (229) and get this awesome deal on a Tribal from eBay. When you finally receive it you find yourself here or on PBN asking for help 'cuz it doesn't work right, if at all. Soon after you'll probably end up sending to Air Soldier or Fear Factory to get Michael or Rich to fix it & install some mods. Maybe spending 100-200bux. You'de be WAY AHEAD getting one you know works from a trusted source........
my 2 cents :)

[Person]

That link you posted looked like a dealer, so it was prolly hanging on his wall of stuff for sale and wasnt selling, Id email him and ask if he has the tool kit cus he prolly has it sitting around somewere in his shop, would be a score.

[Moral]

If you're interested in a new tribal, i have two tribal twister 2.2's that have only been test fired. Ill post some pics later when i formally sell them, but if you'd like to make an early offer, feel free: Moral@graffiti.net
