yes, how long have you been playing? i have been playing for 3+years and just bought a trix last month, it all depends on your skill, and cahs flow i know some people that have guns that they dont need, like an 11 year old with a dye cocker? thats ridiculas.

you have a black dragon. So if you are looking to upgrade, tell us how much you would spend on a gun, including what you could get if you sold you other gun.

well if you only play 2x a month.. then i wouldnt really worry about it... 2 months is a long time...
but its up for you, why buy a high end gun if youre going to play 6 times a year?

Huh? he said twice a month, which means 24 times a year, not 6.....
And I suggest a cocker, BKO, or stock imp (maybe a new hammer assembly or something).

I think you should stick with the dragun. You have plenty hight rate of fire and a nice barrel. I think you should Upgrade.

If you have $300 get a bko or used impulse, $450 evil omen. Or you could get a cocker, but he had a electro, and if it happend like me, as sson as I fired a electric gun I was hooked!

I like my gun but i know the cockers imps BKOs whatever are superior. I have little cash and I play at my local woods field. If the gun works decent on co2 its a big plus.thanks guys!

heh..I was going to post something like this..I had it written earlier today..but decided against it. I'm in the same situation as you..I probably play 4-5 times every 2 months during the summer..and I don't know if it's worth it to upgrade either. The only reason I want an Impulse, is I like the trigger feel of an electro, and if I had a gun that worked well with HPA I could play when it got colder out...then the next question is, do I sell my Tippmann, or keep it as a loaner gun, so I can take my friends paintballing, and hopefully get them interested...I guess you should ask yourself, do you ever find yourself in a situation in a game where the upgraded marker would have made a noticable difference.

play with what you got, the experience/skill you earn will do much more then any marker will do for you....

Your gun is fine, just keep it and play with it and when you got the extra cash, either upgrade it, or slowly save that cash for a new marker in a long time.

thanks everyone I decided to stay with my gun. I am running an antisiphon 20 ounce soon. I will just get a v force mask now becuase my spectra is BEAT. The lenses are scratched to oblivion and the ear flaps are held together by tape and tye wraps.and Yakbo your question in the end of your last post is a very wise one.thanks everyone

well i would say a cocker, or you could get an automag, a clasic mag for arround 260 and upgrade it to rt maybe a new body and such as you get better, or you can do the same with a cocker or a impy.

keep your gun find out what matters to you in paintball like BPS or your guns Accuracy and Range then decide whether your gun can suit your playing "needs" or if you need a new one. since ur over 13 according to you grab a publix bagboy job or become a waiter any source of income will do.
