my friend bought a tribal fluster for 300 bucks CDN (no taxes) at
Skyball yesterday. I advised him too, knowing that they were good guns, and that that was a unbeatable price.

We right away (after watching Ground Zero own) went to a local field, and played some. He borrowed a 45/45 screw-in (800+ output) and a brand new HALO from some really nice guy who had a un-timed racegun.

conclusion: Tribals RULE! I find it sad that there is such a small support group for the guns, and that they are not common and popular. The guns are great looking, thin bodied, top-cocking, electro-pneumatic beasts. They have 8 dip-switches controlling the rate of fire, turbo, dwell time, etc. They are comfortable, light, and even the stock barrel is not bad. shooting banana banshee's the gun had great accuracy and consistency.

i find it sad to see these guns slowly dissapear, and am angered that this forum doesn't have a Tribal section.

any one else?

its just cause the company went down. there are still alot of good supporters and places to get work done on them. a friend of mine here in town does alot of work to them and they are sweet. people are just turned off of them because of the lack of support and upgrades . . . there still is some support and upgrades but not as common as for like an imp or bushy. . . nice markers anyway.

Yeah Davkad Tribals are cool looking...

I was talking to a guy at Pbnation (since cant get the info here :( )
and there is some shop somewhere that does pretty much only tribal work... So they said if I did get one (like I have the money) I could easily get parts for it, and that the Tribals 1.1 sucked but the 2.2 were just awesome...

So yeah, I agree with you davkad
300 cadn = $170 or so american? that's pretty good
