Ok folks, heres the deal. Ive been playin for two years and I can admit I quite frankly suck, this could be because I havent played enough or Im yet to develop better PB skills. For instance, today I went to the field and go no one out except my friend in a 1 vs 1 match:| . Well heres the thing, first I think my gun may be part of the problem, it is a 68 mag powerfeed (classic), it cant shoot very fast, it a pain to AIM w/ the powerfeed, and I dunno, it just doesnt seem to shoot as straight and accurate as other guns, this, I wanna get another gun. Well today I saw a Matrix at the field and when the guy shootin it walked the trigger it was the fastest firing gun Ive seen in person, so I immediately considered one of these as a gun choice. I have a B day coming up, and with my B day money and with maybe some help from my parents I can afford one before they only sell 1000 dollar DYE ones. So heres my dillema, what should I do. I think it would be stupid to have a high end gun and suck, yet, If I wait to long I will no longer be able to get one of the 600 dollar Trix's, only the 1000 dollar DYE ones. So waht do u guys think, get experience before gun, or get the gun soon, Peace!

you dont need a high end gun just get a e-99 and a new barrel plus electic hopper and you should be fine and if you still cant shoot anybody you just suck

sargent, do you fail english?
i think that you should just go out and play, and if anything, get a new barrel. if that doestn work, sell and buy something nice.....
Get better first and make sure you can handle a higher end gun. Remember its more the Player than the gun.

I would keep the mag, and just keep playing with it. There is nothing wrong with your gun; you just need to keep practicing.
When you have become a better player, then you can decide if you want to upgrade your gun or get a different one completely.

the only way to get better is to learn from experience. Written words can only go so far. Just spend some of the money on upgrades, and the rest goin out onto the feild to play. Watching games can also give you a view from outside the feild. You can see what works, and what doesnt work, and apply that to your game.

practice your aim by shooting targets. Set up some empty plastic soda bottles and practice shooting at it. Once you can hit it consistantly try running and shooting at it. Try different things. You could also make target practice a game. Get your friend or friedns to play with you and fill your hoppers with 20 or so paintballs each. Then go one at a time and see who can score the most poitns. Have targets at different ranges and different sizes. My brotheres and I did this and it was a lot of fun. Also heres a good site that hase videos to learn from. They are free clips. http://www.webdogradio.us/video/
I posted this link in a thread a while ago but I'll put it here also if you want to check it out. I think its great for learning.

I think you should trick out your Mag with the money.

Just get a ULE body and x valve and you are set for 500. Upgrade one at a time. First get a ule body, then the x valve, then the grip. Maybe in between get a nice barrel with inserts. Upgrade SLOWLY. Also look at strategy guides and tips on the internet for paintball.

I deleated your post becuase it was completely unintelligible. I didn't understand a word, and by the looks of the reactions of the other members, they didn't understand either. What I could make out was more of a spam than an actual post anyways.

Dammit kid, use a freakin period. I can't read that garbled up mess.
I think you should keep the mag and play more often. Practice, practice, practice. You can't beat experience.

The best I could discern, that was directed to me, although he left out several letters...But judging from his infinite mastery of grammar, I should have expected no less. Also, I want to know exactly when I said I live in Rhode Island? Actually, I'm from Texas. I don't know how you boys do it around there, but down here when someone is desperate enough to have to call in the chinese ninja monkeys for backup, they usually retire their name and are henceforth known as "Princess."
