What made you decide to get a dragun/odyssey?

[DarkeWolf]

Subject line kinda says it all. Figured it would give us something to post about.

My TES is the first paintball gun that I'd bought. I got it as a total newb, just getting into the sport. I was hunting around on ebay looking for a gun to buy, and calling a buddy of mine like, every 15 minutes or so asking him for his opinion of the ones I was looking at.
He was telling me go spyder, or tippmann, stay away from piranha, stay away from Silver Bullets, etc etc etc.

I saw an advert for a TES, running about 178 new at the time. It said "intimidator fast!" and I didnt even have a clue what a timmy was, so that didnt mean jack to me, lol.
so came on here for my first time, and was reading the reviews on them. I saw that it could go 20 bps, so being a newb, that was a big draw. Everybody was posting about how fast, and how hot they looked, etc etc.
I called grizz, and asked him what he knew about them. he didnt know, but said that they were talked well of.
I liked the look, I liked how everybody said it was fast, so I got it. Have had her ever since.

I was looking around for a gun every day fro like 2 months, I am tellin you I searched ever gun on every online store there was, I went back adn forth between different markers and read reviews on them

I finally came accross the TES on actionvillage and fell in love. I mean I didn't just like it it was love at first sight adn I had to have one so I asked for money from all my relatives and used my uncles paypal account to buy it fro 225 shipped and was happy I did after going through 3 low end markers in just a couple months

I bought mine when it was being advertised as "The first marker with eyes under $300!" I had shot a tippmann before, owned a victor, and all my friends were getting A-5's (A-5's were just coming out) and I was either going to get an A-5, they were $270 then, or a tes for $250. I bought the tes thinking it was full auto not doing research on the compatability of the parts (asa, reg, grips, feedneck, etc.) and bought it anyway. I wanted something none of my friends had seen before, and now I have something no one has seen before.

I loved how it looked when i first saw it, I went out to go shoot it, put it on Auto20 and held down the trigger... it shot once, but then I went inside and read online that it doesn't have full auto but that made it field legal, so I was even happier, Since then it has always been that way, my gun would do something I didn't like, but once I fixed it, it would be awesome

got mine in a trade with a airsoft gun worth 25 bucks. sold it for 140 dollars when i found out that dragun wasnt a company anymore and barely any aftermarket ups. ----ethan

[LivingForChrist]

I traded an autococker for my TES cause i realized i was not an autococker kind of person. I heard good things about the TES so i thought i'd give it a try, and i liked it. And i really liked that it had an eye, so you can imagine how ticked off i was when it didn't work.

[DarkeWolf]

LFC- yeah, but hopefully, your's is gonna be a cheap fix ;)

[armorlite]

I wanted my T1 b/c it was a different kind of gun. A different operation style than any other at the time. Plus it had eyes and was capable of shooting really fast. Reading reviews and stuff got me wanting it.

[Psycho_warden]

I was tired of wipers, because at the time, I was playing purely stock class with my Phantom. So I decided to find a decent semi that didnt cost much, at first I was thinking an E-spyder, but I was online, and saw the Torid X, read a few reviews on it, and then ordered away. I kinda regret trading it, it was a great gun, and was easily as fast as my X-mag.

[teswkit]

because i was too poor to afford a real intimidator

[DarkeWolf]

because i was too poor to afford a real intimidator

:laugh:

yeah, I hear that, about being poor. Timmy's cost quite a bit too.
But that Drammy that you've got, with the anno job on it, is seriously sweet.

[Wendig0]

The reason why I got my Torid X was because my old mag (that i miss sometimes:( ) well i screwd up the valve and it took 45 bucks to fix it so I just decided to part it out and I got a lot of money doing that. So then I was getting electric thirsty and I searched for the best blowback (low end), and I stumbled open a Torid X.

My torid x has been very good to me, most of the time im glad i got my torid x. It is truely a nice marker and love it dearly!

My next marker will probably be a promaster!

I worked with Michael Spurlock's uncle so I got a good deal on my old M3 Sniper. After that Michael hooked me up with a couple markers before they hit the normal consumers. I currently own a Drallion and a Dragunfly Mech I just sold my O3 Mech to a friend who wanted to get back into PB, I sold my T1 to another friend who wanted to get into PB, I sold my Dragunfly LCD to a friend who fell in love with it and I gave my old Sniper to a different friend who needs to start playing with us. My collection has gotten small so now I have a reason to go buy a '06 Back magic :D

The Drallion is about to get a bounce beam eye, 25g switch and some other upgrades.

[Babboa]

because i was too poor to afford a real intimidator
:D ...me too
I got mine for the insane rate of fire many people were reporting with them. Plus the milling and anno were pretty sweet for anything in that price range.
And last but not least...A gun with eyes for well less than $200? I just had to have it.

[iluvmyTES]

well i saw it on ebay and i thought it was a timmy (my mistake) and bugged my dad. he warned me not to but i did and i was content with it until it broke. then i fixed it and then we permanently broke it so thats where im at

[mad dawg]

wanted a cheap electric cocker so bought the dragunfly and upgraded all the pnuematics. very fine.

[Bowser45]

I wanted a back-up marker and a marker that I could use as a project. I purchased a Odyssey O3 and a Dragun TES.

[jonezin_nj]

was looking on ebay for a starter gun fopr my brother-in-law. found it for $3.00 plus $70.00 shipping (?). i was worried that it would suck but it rocks. great woodsball gun. and my brother-in-law got my sucky rebel 02 vert

aw man...I hate that. Those peeps that put a really really low bid price, or buy it now price on something, and then put the cost of the item as "a handling charge" in the shipping and handling.
on some of that stuff, they can really grab a lot of cash off of people that aren't paying close attention.
73 bucks is a pretty good price for a dragun fire tho. most peeps are trying to get at least 100 out of them.

hahahahaha too funny! Ended up keeping the gun you were gonna give as a gift.

[deedo]

i got my 03x about a week ago. My uncle sent his 03e to odyssey to get the board upgraded and to get the 03x change. When he got i back i decided to buy it from him because it was basically brand new. The build quality on this thing is amazing very very clean. that and i couldnt resist the price for only 250 with barrel kit

[double_d202]

Well lets see.... It was my first time playing, i like the sport so much that I had to buy a marker. Well it was a rebel for $120 or a M3 Black Dragun Compact for $140. Never regreted buying it. Then I bought a TES because i liked the look and
it had everything I wanted at the time. Now its a T-1 thats bein striped down as
birthday gifts for my brother. Just need a new reg and drop.

[lil sniper]

I had $50 in my wallet and decided I needed a gun for ripping apart and a gun that noobs can use...well it worked,for a while.now its f*ucked over and I dont wanna fix it LOL..the odd people get a dragun that works flawlessly but %80 of dragun owners have problomse with there guns..mostly leaking

[DarkeWolf]

Are you callin' me odd???
LOL no...just kidding. Naw....mine doesnt have that many probs. Just doesnt wanna fully cock every now and then.
So.....maybe just slightly odd. Hahaha.

[lil sniper]

haha I actully like the dragun guns,I think they are fast for the price and they have eyes witch on mine still work good.its just dragun is pretty much non-existing company.so if your dragun breaks its just to bad(atleast thats the feeling I got):P but yes I have seen many draguns that work actully really decent.

[DarkeWolf]

Yeah, I definitely agree.....for the price, a dragun can be a really nice marker. And yeah, sucks that dragun isnt around anymore. We will just have to see how well REX fills their shoes, I guess.

lol yeah, btw...I Was just kidding around about the odd comments ;)

[lil sniper]

yeah I understand..lol I knew that was a joke:| haha

[Vexorized]

you guys know that REX sells their markers now right? on ebay, and on pbn on the NIB section of the BST's. 125 for Type R/Wrath, 180 for the R3/O3x, 160 for the RX/t1/o2, pm me for the links. kinda lazy right now.

EDIT: oh yeah, 100 for the M2/03m and 80 for the M1/Dragunfly.

[lil sniper]
