What should I get? CAN I get anything useful? Here's a list of what I already own, or am planning on getting that the $20 WON'T go towards:
Tippy M98
SP AA 14"
32 Degree Gel Grips
Tippy Exp. Chamber
Tippy Double Trigger
Lapco raised sight rail
Tasco red dot
2 masks
2 tanks (1 20oz, 1 9oz.)
Ghillie Suit
CPPA Jersey
BE Gloves
Planning on getting a homemade dropforward/tstock
Planning on getting my gun annodized
I think I'll be getting a Full Boar RC/RVA for my birthday
What's left?
Anything useful that I could get to upgrade for $20, or around that much? I'm thinking there isn't...but I'm open to ideas...

well you can save it up for paint or use it to pay the field fee. i dont know anything really helpful that you can upgrade for $20. I'd just save it for a revvy, paint, or the field fee

That's what I figured. I'll never buy a Revvy. I like to make my shots count, so I don't shoot fast. ;)
Thanks for the help. I'll just use it to buy a book I've wanted maybe. Or a CD. Or DVD. Or something.
Oh well. 'Twas an idea.

hey thats good. there isnt many products you can buy with $20 that will significantly improve performance. use it for a book or a movie, marker oil or that barrel treament stuff. thats what i would do.:)

Hmmmmm....have you considered a two pod pack, like at Wal-mart for scenario games and the like? An extra 200 rounds is nice to have for those big long scenario games. And you'd have $10 left over.

Get a nitro tank, more consitant shots, then get a vigilante regulator, super consistant shots. More accuracy, seems like it'd fit your game style.

Anti-siphon?
On/off Valve?
Dunno...

I know I know
200 packs of top ramen!
Also get a powder coat from sin customs or hard coat
Annodizing = too much and can damage metals

Now that i think about it, you don't need the tank, or the Vigilante, just a Palmer stablizer, works great on CO poo.

I'd have to say the only things I would get are a camo hopper cover and a straight shot. $18 and $2 left for a bottle of hoppes 9 oil. A camo tank cover could be a good idea too. If you are only playing hopper ball, then a 3.5oz co2 tank would really lighten your load and you would still get 250 shots from it. The tank would take all $20 though. If you get a tank cover, you could poke a hole in it and carry the straight shot on the tank.
Btw, being a college student, I could always go for more ramen..........

i would spend it on a field entry . . . or some air and a little paint and just go screw around . . . or a battle swab/straight shot.

My hopper is camo painted/permanently ghillied. (I used shreds of burlap and shoe-gooed them to the hopper. I have another plain black hopper for speedball type games. Heh.)
Field fee? Where I play it's only $2 if I buy their paint. And I can get a case of 2000 Marballizer for, about $54. I'm not worried about field fees. ;)
I'll look into that Palmer Stabilizer Richy. Thanks for the advice all you guys.

Sorry but anno does not damage Alum. If any thing it makes it tougher. I been doing it to alot of stuff not once did it damage anything.
Power coating I do also its just another form a of painting. It has to be bake instead of all the solvent thats in normal paint. Anno only cost to much when you go to the wrong place.
Large shops charge you more for one piece than a group of stuff.
Reason I got into all of this stuff is cause of all the over pricing on the paintball market. If you walk into a shop and say paintball you better bend over and bring the lube cause there going to do you dry.

Ahhh...ok 133+. *chuckles* Nah. I'm a simple Tippy guy. I don't need an Angel to take you out. ;)
I stand by the motto that it's "not the gun...it's the man behind the gun." I"m more interested in getting good at the game, then having the nicest, fanciest gun out there. Sure, I want a reliable, consistent marker, and my Tippy with a couple of upgrades is good enough for me...
