Tell me if you think I should buy this used gun

[Eladamri]

I've been offered this gun by a one of my wifes friends husband and I know absolutely nothing about mags and other paintball equipment go for used so heres the list. The first list is stuff for $200 bucks.

Minimag, silver powerfeed left, pretty much stock except the vertical asa has been removed and a foregrip added in its place.

MPM asa with a 1200 psi gage on the side of it on a 4 inch drop
forward

3000# nitroduck paintball mania tank, not sure what size, i think probably 68ci, tank is dated 1, 99 so its good for a few more months without having to be tested, tank is like new not a single scratch.

vl2000 loader that works.

For 250 he will toss in the following things.

Dye stainless barrel 14 inch

Air America raptor 3000psi tank, again not sure what size tank, its bigger than the other one probably 88ci, possibly bigger tank is dated 11-97 so its out of date and needs to be tested, has a 42inch stainless steel remote attached.

A pod system with 8 pouches mounted sideways and a center pouch for the big nitro tank.

A reds 6 pod pack with indian springs super tubes

a couple of sqeegies and some other spare parts.

I know this is probably a great deal but if you could help me out and tell me an approximate worth id be really greatfull, esp so I can show this post to my wife and prove its a good deal. If you need anymore info let me know and ill try and provide it. Btw the gun does function, I shoot some air through it tonight and it worked ok, the trigger was alittle sticky but nothing major. I'm taking it in tomorrow to get all the seals replaced since its sat for over a year. Im getting to test it over the weekend and have till next friday to make up my mind.
Thx,

Seems an alright deal,

just what do you mean by the vertical feed been replaced by a foregrip?

Never heard of a Vl2000, only Vl200's and 12V Revolutions(and 9V). Think you mean VL200 which is really just a normal gravity feed hopper, you'll need a 12V or 9V revvy, cos there isnt that much "kick" on mags.

I'd go the podpack and pods, have a look at the air system make sure its alright, i.e. check its date :). If he has anymore barrels for it try and get them as well, cos you'll need a small selection for if/when you use different size paint.

When you test it dont worry about ball chopping you wont be used to the trigger and probably short stoke it. Just make sure it doesnt do anything weird. Which i doubt cos mags are built like a brick privvy!

Sounds like a good deal to me :)
However, ciaran, the VL2000 is an electronic hopper made before *** Eagle owned Viewloader.

[Eladamri]

no, the hopper is definately a vl2000, I have it sitting right here in front of me, it takes a regular 9v battery and has a 2blade agitator inside of it. One of the tanks is out of date and needs testing, the other one only has a few months left on it.

[Eladamri]

and i meant the vertical asa has been removed for a foregrip, not vertical feed, my bad

[ciaran.mooney]

My bad about the vl2000 just never, ever, ever, heard of it :D

Youngin! ;)

That was the first agitating hopper that was all in a nice package. The Original ones were the ugly stuff connected to an original View Loader hopper.

The VL2000 was the first, then came the Shredder, (great name, huh) where they added a 2nd 9v and made the paddle a big star tower of plastic. They even fooled around with flexible shells for the hopper, the goal being a bounce instead of a break on your hopper. Guess they didn't think a mass of broken paint would be a big deal in the hopper.

The Revvys were a slight modification of the design, the 18v setup was replaced by a 12v setup, which gives you a much longer battery life.

Oh! And after the Shredder came the VL3000, a 300 round hopper that looked like a huge black bannana on yer gun. No Revvy version of that monster.

Seems like a good deal to me. I'd pay the $250 for the extra gear.
