My friend bought a BKO with many a things on it, and was happy that he finally had a paintball marker, and talked about "Mowing us all down"...Well, comes time for the next walk on, and, he doesn't show. "Huh?" We all think, wondering why he never came, even though it would have been his first game with his new marker.
Well, afterwards, I call him up, and ask where he was.. He explains to me that he didn't have enough money to play..I said, "But, uh, you had enough money to buy the BKO...Didn't you plan on actually using it?" He responds, "Well, probably not until September..This gun cost a lot of money"..I say bye, and sort of laugh.. I, myself, have a Spyder Imagine, and I am happy with it. Now, he may have a better marker, but I would rather be me. I mean, what is the freaking point of buying a marker if you can't afford to use it?
I frequent the low-end electronics forums(When I'm actually on PBR anymore)..And basically all of the threads are, "What gun?" threads, and these people have certain amounts of money, and people suggest what they should buy..Most of the time, people say the most expensive setup within the given price range, and the person thinks this is just a great idea.
Most of the time, the person doesn't take into account the price of playing, so they will be stuck at home with a nice marker that they cannot use, so it goes to waste.
If I answer a thread like that, I usually tell them to go with a Spyder Imagine, basically, because it's a cheap marker that works. Most of the people who post these threads have never played and just want to show off to their friends.
I had to get that off of my chest.
