Come on Cappie Be nice! Sure ya can Pat, I'd reconsider it though, Why not save your money for awhile and take the next step up get a Spyder or Piranha, I'd keep the Zapper as a back-up!

I agree with Killer Kat...save up for a better gun and use this one as a backup. I own one of these and i bougt it for 114$ canadian in a package that came with hopper, mask, squeegie and 2 paintball tubes with case....as long as you use some decent paint(i use zap cuz thats the best we got where i live) you wont get many (if any) ball breaks. You can order a bottom line kit for one of these. As for barrells..you can order a custom made one here http://www.barrelsofamerica.com/order.html And the drop forward...Well you can easilly make one or just order one...it should fit. And the expansion chamber...I havent upgraded anything on my gun but i think you can get a expansion chamber for it...I heard you could anyway.. The zap zxs-400 (now called the Point Zero model 83) with all stock, performs pretty well...I played just about 3 hours ago with it. Its good accuracy (i picked off 2 guys in the mask including my best friend) for about 30-50 yards. As for breaks well i had about 5 brass eagle balls mixed in with my 200+ zap ones and every Brass eagle ball broke:pissed: but i shot about 2 times and that seems to clean the short (8 inch) barrell decently well, and as for gas...It is Very efficient...i can get 25-30 shots off a little (is it 12 gram?) c02...And off a 9 ounce i can get 400-500 shots, depending on the temperature and you can probably get 6-8 balls per second (not bad). You can also lighten the trigger pull by just snipping off a few coils off the trigger spring. This gun is great for a backup, i reccomend you get a better gun then this though. I want a Tippmann m98, i hope i will get it for christmas.:blah:

I did that before I got my rebel. I put an x-chamber, new barrel (although it went on crooked!) and new hose. It worked for a while, but then a lot of liquid co2 got in my gun and it went downhill from there! But I still use it to mess around or as a loaner.

Don't let the elitists spoil your fun! As long as you don't use the wrong Loctite you can always take the stuff back off and use it on another marker. If you use the bottomline that the company sells for it, you won't be able to use it on too many other markers, but you can install a standard bottomline or dropforward onto a block of nylon, etc and mount it inside the grip. I don't really recommend a wood block, unless you cut grooves in the side for a nut and washer.
