Rebel....

[TMaxx06]

I feel like starting in paintball. I've done alot of reading (in my opinion.) I've looked around the net, sucking up info on paintball. (For like 2 years! :eek: ) I'm looking at the standard Rebel. I'd just be playing for fun with friend in my yard. Here's what I think I'm getting. (All is being bought from here. (http://www.countypaintball.com))

16 OZ CO2 tank (short & fat)
JT Elite X-Fire Mask, Thermal - (black/black)
32*Rebel BLUE
Plastic Elbow, 7/8 inch
Proball - Half Case (1k rounds)
ProFlex Squeegie

I don't know what to get for a hopper. I don't feel like buying any Revvy or anything like that, because I'm on limited funds (I'm 12, and I don't get that much $$$, so I don't have that many options.) Would a regular 200 round gravity hopper work, or would it chop balls like crazy? Also, how many shots should I get from the 16oz? Does this gun have any issues (seal blowing, etc) I should know about? Finally, does the Proball match up with the stock barrel bore, or is it too small, big, etc? If so, what's a good cheap paint. Thanks for reading this and/or helping. If you want to e-mail, feel free. Here's my e-mail. (the_matrix_747@hotmail.com)

Hey! A standard 200 rd hopper will do just fine. You might just have to shake the balls free from time to time but it is no big deal. You might get 600 shots out of the 16oz but that might be a little high. Cheap good paint, try 32* paint it isn't that pricey, but me and my friend like it.

Well i Think youd be better off buying a Spyder Compact (reliability wise), and how much was that package gonna cost?

[TMaxx06]

$158

well i dont know, i have a rebel, and i have had no problems with it, besides the usual stock problems, after about 6 solid days my original cup seal and bolt o-ring were gone, but my friend with a pihrana had the same prob, it happens with most guns, the only thing that sucks about rebels is cant get a different grip frame and cant use sights

[TMaxx06]

Do all guns wear out like that, so quick? Would it wear out slowly, if not at all if I only shoot about 200 'balls like 2 times a week (I'm not gonna be playing alot.) Also, does the manual come with intstruction on how to tear down and maintain you gun? Any pictures? How much are those O-Ring and Seals that ElectricHead had problems with? Does the problem go away after a while (after it's broken in)?

[P8ntballer]

Umm... The sear wore after about 5 cases (appx 10k balls) so I dont know, thats probably the only thing that went wrong on the gun. I never got a manual with it, but its not too hard to figure it out though.

Im selling a rebel xtreme with a 9 oz tank and a standard hopper for 160

the cup seal is not the gun being used up or whatever, you can get a new cup seal that as i understande it will never break for 5 bucks
