blade 02

[jimjimnyjinkins]

im hoping to get this gun. i was wondering what i need to make it work?do i get reagular c02 or the little capsule things.also is it true it wont be alowed on the feild?plz help

The blade 02 uses 12gram cartridges. But IMO the $$ spent on a blade is better put towards a more "reliable" gun and one that youll be happier with. Like a spyder victor or xtra. In the end youll spend more money on co2 cartridges than the gun. I couldn't possibly recommend this to anyone, but if your minds set, yea it only uses 12grams which you put in the back and screw a cap over( to puncture it).

i agree that its also better to put your money towards something that will last

look for a cheap spyder or tippman for a good starter gun that is easily upgraded

the blade just really wont be your money's worth

oh ya i would too but the thing is that my mom thinks that paintball guns are extrodanarly dangoures. so when she sees like a c 98 she thinks gun. but this thing is plastic and looks like a nerf gun. so if i start with this ill be able to get a better one later. so can i use a reagular hopper on it?

[gdog5]

oooo, i c. well try and get her to go with a talon ghost (not much better but still will outlast a blade and has that nice plastic look).

did anyone notice that the msrp in the review for the talon ghost is 90 dollars?

hmm thats wierd.

[jimjimnyjinkins]

hmmm it looks good but i kinda like the look of the blade 02 better...the see through plastic thing is just bad looking i think.hmmm...

A Tippman 98 custom is made of really strong composite(a kinda resin plasic but 100 times stronger), it will not break unless u take a hammer to it. U are better off buying a Spyer, something like a Victor or Victor 2. Spyders' have many upgrades and work's alot better, and u can use co2 tank instead of blowing tons of money on 12g cartiages.

blades are junk. they explode. iv had 2 blow up when i was around. if your mom thinks paintball is dangerous now, wait until your blade explodes. NOW thats dangerous. and a word of advice, tell her paintball is safer than golf. strange, but true

[jimjimnyjinkins]

nononononono she already know\s that.its actually safer than bowling go figure. its jsut the look of them that makes her nervous. so if it does blow up shell let me get a better one.

[gdog5]

Still, go with the talon. Their marker to blow up rate is lower!

thats crap, maybe thats for the package? still thats way too high.

[jimjimnyjinkins]

alright so the talon it is. i found a good deal at action village so it looks ok too...

Maybe. but still.. wouldnt a talon package be alot cheaper than that?

[tippydaddy1119]

O juist thought id point this out markde the 98 custom is not made of plastic, its all aluminum, i think it might of been a typo but.....jjust thought id point it out

http://www.pbreview.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=216266 i figured one of you would have shown him this, but anyway let your mom see this, and as tippydaddy said the 98c is not made out of plastic:pissed:

The option of a constant air adapter on the talon makes it a smarter buy than the blade.
