i mean i just got my gun, i moved up from a spyder shutter, when i had that gun i looked up to bushies and imps and slightly tricked cockers. now that i have this gun i want an angel or HIGH end cocker, i havent even had my gun for a month. . . i think no matter what i do i am always going to want something better, any one else have this problem? richy i know you do! haha you though about trading you gun for an LED after having ot for like 2 weeks . . . :laugh:

well, where do you go from a marker like an angel, e-mag, timmy, matrix, or excal. these are top of the line, professional level markers.

i think a lot of people that have these markers continue buying top of the line markers, their reasoning is beyond me.

i think it is human nature to want the best of the best. i just got my spyder a few months ago, i used to want to upgrade but now i want a new marker. a lot of people want to try other markers as well.

Actually, I am happy w/ my setups. I have a tricked out E/98 with a home-done paintjob that I like. No more I can do to it (literally), so upgrading that isn't an option.

My LP Raptor works great, and I just finished making it vertical cocking.... I'm happy with that.

PT Xtreme, nice little semi pistol, accurate, decent on CO2... great.

However, with this top of the line stuff... I'm actually done with all that. I have the top of the line for whatever...... what I'd rather be doing now is getting a blast from the past.

Meaning buying markers like a Nelspot 007, Splatmaster, Tippmann F/A and SMG-60, Bushmaster SI, etc.

I'm a lot more interested in these markers than any new marker that comes out, or any current top of the line. With choice of which to have, I'd sooner take the SMG-60 to an IronMan edition Angel LCD.

ya well they are constantly trading their guns, most of them own at least 3 top of the line markers, and want to trade for other ones just to "try sumthing new"

Well...I have a M98 with a couple of upgardes (listed below). Its almost completely stock except for the double trigger and WGP reg and CP Barrel.

I have been happy with the setup before the reg got put on (I don't know how well the reg works as it is still in the shop and I haven't gone and picked it up yet).

But all in all I have been happy with my M98 and if/when I get my Bushmaster it will be relegated to backup status as I don't have the heart to sell it because its a good marker no matter what anyone else says.

The only time some1 ever be happy wit there gun is when it shoots so good that they never get shot. And when this happens paintball becomes boring cuz u have no challenge. And besides being shot is 1 of the fun parts.

I'm happy with my marker and wouldnt trade it for anything unless it was a milled timmy or I could sell the new marker, buy another timmy and have cash left over

I've got a Custom 98 as well...expansion chamber, double trigger, and the Flatline.

I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. I don't think I'll be upgrading. Doesn't break paint, (well, it did a FEW times when I was installing the flatline, and didn't have it in all the way...but other than that), and it's fairly accurate. I'm pretty happy.

And Monkey Avatar boy...stop talking about other people's grammar when you don't even bother to capitalize "I". Ok? Thanks...

Ok...I've only had my gun for a couple weeks, so maybe I'll be singing a different tune in a month or two, but here.

I'm completely* happy with my stuff. I have a spyder compact deluxe w/bottomline, nitro, and a sp progressive barrel. I want a dropforward, just because I think it'd make my gun a bit more comfortable, but I'll live without it until I get a job. (when I go back to school.)

It's all in how you look at it, as with all things in life, I think. I have a marker that people would've killed for back in the day. I can live with that, since I don't compete with people where an nicer gun is going to make a difference. I think they key to happiness is realizing you have enough. Hell, I'm happy I have enough to eat and I live in a free country. Everything else is bonus.
If you compete though its a different story...you need to be on equal ground to enjoy competition.

I'm happy with my setup until I see something (upgrades) I want and/or get the money to improve.
