Looks like a good package, how did you get a vigilante for 5.95? I'd change the Crossfire for a PMI, but the crossfire is still a good tank, and if it's a package and you cant change it, then it's still a good setup

[Halliday]

Will those Sticky Grips work on an LCD. I guess if they are clear you could try to see thru them to the display?

[Jc9784]

I got the PMI I was wondering can I make this gun a low pressure and if so how?.I messed up on price on Vigilante it's $69.95.If the tank is preset can it run on 850psi?? Isn't that too high? Or will the regulator allow me to adjust it?

[elTwitcho]

I'm pretty sure the Bushmaster is Low Pressure anyhow, which means you're going to need to get a LP spring with that vigilante. An LP spring lowers the vigilantes output pressure by alot, and you can only get a vigi down to maybe 400 psi without the spring. The PMI outputs at 850 psi, but your vigi will lower that down to a usable level for you gun and shouldnt give you any problems. That's the setup I use, and my vigi with LP spring outputs at around 190 180 ish, so I think you'll be fine

[Jc9784]

Thanks alot man I will be contacting you in future for more information on this subject I will be competing (spelled wrong)in tourneys very soon with it.I hope it performs just as everyone elses I have reviewed I might even start my own Tourney Team.I will send pics to you of my Bushy when it is all ready.Thanks

you do get to see the cool circut board though...

Unlike the Angel the LCD on the Bushmaster is on the back portion of the battery tray. Because of this the grips won't interfere.

[Halliday]

Looks like Jc9784 is set as soon as he figures out that reg.

[Pakman]

Is the LCD on the new Bushy really worth the extra 80-100 bucks? I mean, I read that it only displays shots fired, balls per second, and game time. You can't even use it to change modes or anything like that. I like the Angel LCD a lot and am thinking about getting the Angel LCD because of all the things it offers, i.e. thermometer, 26 user-programmable modes, balls per second, vibrating game timer, etc. (Mainly asking this because my friend is not sure whether or not to spend the extra money on the B2K2 LCD)

[Jc9784]

Good point man I didnt know all that stuff I might just go with the regular Bushmaster then at $440.I mean with another $100 I can get it anodized and stuff I found everything I need for it.

16 inches is kinda long, especially if you're playing sped ball. get a 12", or a 14" If you must, at most. just an opinion though...

[Halliday]

MY Shocker came with the SP 16" and I was worried about the length too.

It's a great barrel, but I also have a J&J 14" ceramic and for $60 it's AWESOME. A great all-around barrel.

Just a suggestion.

[Nemessis]

You know what? The Lcd bushy isnt all that, I really suggest you put your $$$ into a regular bushy. Alot of bushy owners are saying this and even some of the lcd owners arent impressed with there $100 more expensive gadget.

[spydyman9]

I am also thinking about getting this gun accept not LCD and with a dropforward but it sounds like you have a good package there I would get it if I were you

[Jc9784]

I read up on the LCD on the Bushmaster and from what I have heard it is not worth it.For one the LCD screen is dim and you really can't see the stuff on the screen,it is nothing like the Angel LCD's.And the turbo on the LCD doesn't work at all I have shot this LCD Bushy and it is not worth it.If I were you I would stick with the regular Bushy..PERIOD!!!

[july_favre]

Get a stock bushee and get every chaos upgrade made. Once I get mine, I am getting every mod they have. Check this out, it will make you droolwww.dcpaintball.com/

also check here for low pressure and any other bushmaster info- http://www.geocities.com/bushmaster2000_tank/

[Reckoning]

LCD bushy is cool, but I'd rather save my money for some mods. LP springs, new trigger, etc. I'm gettin my Bushy soon, so I'll post up pics and specs whne it comes in. Yah, it'll be moded :)

[july_favre]

The bushmaster is about 250psi out of the box. Macdev stuff will allow you to go lower. i wouldnt aim for low pressure though, instead go for a more efficient gun and low pressure will come along with it. You can get your bushy to run 150psi and maybe lower but you will get about 4 shots from your tank.

[Reckoning]

Well, LP springs as in the MacDev LPR kit.

[paintballer56]

if your trigger happy go with a 6+1 harness u will use up all your paint real fast

[Reckoning]

I play a good deal of speedball, and most tournies are speedball these days. I'd say if yer going that way buy a speedpod system (that holds 140 pods) like JT's.

For everyone with Bushies, I want to see pics of your guns!
