"good" and "sidearm" should never be in the same sentence. Dont even waste your money on sidearms, theyre expensive, crappy and worthless.

Only "sidearm" i'd ever thing about getting is a tac-8. And that's only for fun. Learn to control your fire and to be more accurate that's what you need not a useless sidearm.

1.A sidearm weighs more than like 2 pods.
2.A sidearm holds 10 rounds. a pod holds just a bit more.
3.A sidearm costs several times more than a big podpack
4.How are you going to carry it? Oops! add the cost of a holster into the mix.
I have a friend wh insists on carrying his PT into woods games.
I have seen him get lit up several times becasue of it.
Heck one game I had great concealment at a dog leg path corner in heavy foliage. He was coming around the corner and I see him lower his gun and draw his pistol to take a swat attacklike corner around the brush. I was chuckling so hard I almost couldn't squeeze the trigger.
I did though ;).
I have a delta and it is great, but we all use it for diffrent variations on scenarios.
Ex:
Downed pilot. 2 teams plus one downed pilot. Pilot gets the pistol.
Team one - return pilot to friendly territory or eliminate opfor
team two - eliminate pilot or eliminate opfor
pilot - Hide and try to figure out friend from foe.

So buy a bigger pack, more pods, and carry the paint.
Also, I find it funny that Jesus Christ has an army... since he was a pacifist and all.

That's not what it means. It means that he is a follower of the Christan way of life. "Army" in no way means that he is going to hurt anyone.
And just get a bigger pod pack, a pistol is really not going to help you.

American Heritage Dictionary -
ar·my (är'mē)
n. pl. ar·mies
1 A large body of people organized and trained for land warfare.
often Army The entire military land forces of a country.
2 A tactical and administrative military unit consisting of a headquarters, two or more corps, and auxiliary forces.
3 A large group of people organized for a specific cause: the construction army that built the Panama Canal.
4 A multitude; a host: An army of waiters served at the banquet. See Synonyms at multitude.
I understand the question.
Technically the use of "army" in Christian army is appropriate, but given the common usage of the word, it still seems to be an inapropriate name.
Of course, I think we know that framers of that particular phrases's real intent is to not just 3 and 4 but to inferr a bit of 1.
That united christians are a "force" to be reckoned with. The same thinking that coined that phrase is behind the idea that you can pray the homosexuality out of someone. Or boycott local businesses because they might sell items that don't conform to christian morals. Or shoot abortion doctors.
Yeah I'm a christain. I'm just not joining the army.
***************************************
Peole can argue that I am wrong and that the strict definition of the word permits for non aggressive armies.

–verb (used with object) 1. to make pregnant; get with child or young.

Funny how you have probably never heard someone say, "Let's pray so that we can impregnate you with the spirit of Jesus."

Please be tolerant of others beliefs. And yes I read it, the whole impregnate argument is totally irrelevant. Just because it is not the common use does not mean that is not what is mean by it. It's called context clues(reading between the lines).

Don't be ignorant and people will respect you.
In answering the question; buy a 7 pod pack and you should be set for a couple games.

well to kind of copy parinoid, the definition of amunition or ammo is
ammunition
noun1. projectiles to be fired from a gun 2. any nuclear or chemical or biological material that can be used as a weapon of mass destruction 3. information that can be used to attack or defend a claim or argument or viewpoint; "his admission provided ammunition for his critics
how i see it. paintballs are ammo acourding to 1

if you REALLY want to buy a pistol, i would say go with either the Tac-8 or the Zeus. and if you could find one, a sydarm. (its pretty much just an automag pistol. same gearing and valve and all...)
the idea of the sidearm is that you only use it as an aboslute last resort. dont pull it out and try to get all tactical with it. unless you want to work on your skills, then just go in w/ a stock class vest and your pistol...

Its pretty pointless to get a sidearm.
Your sig says stock A-5. If so, spend the money you would buy a sidearm with, and get a nice barrel. Or a bigger pod pack.
If you want the best sidearm, go with the AGD Sydarm. Good luck finding one tho.

Buy a talon ghost and throw it as hard as you can if you run out of paint. Then when it splits into two pieces, the co2 will spray paint everywhere. Somewhat like a throwing-mine-thingy.

now children, arent we getting a bit off topic?

Yes daddy we are getting off topic, now can I ride my tricycle???
Bottom line, dude, don't waste money and buy a freaking sidearm! like said earlier, buy a crap gun, and throw it. JK, JK, JK. But really, they are a waste of time, money, and even paint, keep your tippman, buy a new pod pack, buy more paint, and take more time aiming. Do this, and I think you'll find that you're a lot more accurate.
As for the christian army thing...
EEric22, I honestly think that you're taking personal stabs at M16redneck because he's Christian, and you're jewish. Don't get mad at me for saying this, you both have your religions in your sig, and untill you two stop bickering this will be considered a religious argument. Now I don't want to here anymore about the whole Jesus and Jewish thing. ENOUGH:grumpy: :paranoid: :banghead:
