How long did you wait to upgrade to a high end gun from your blow back, did you shot 5000 rnds before you upgraded or 50000, and what high end gun did u upgrade to:confused:
People upgrade when they have enough experience with there current gun and they know hoW it works. I would up grade to a cocker if I had the $$$

aww... thats soooo sweet! you put me in your sig!
I think you are the first sig I've been in.
but anyways.
I have a spyder 2000.... shot that for 10 months... about a case and a half through it a month. 3k times 6 = 18,000 paintballs though my spyder before I bought my cocker.
had my cocker for about 6 months, got tired of it, bought a matrix. have shot my matrix for about 10 months. I love it. putting eaisily three cases through it a month. next in line, waiting for some more icome to justify a new marker, cobra IR3. I think I am gonna go with the cobra over the dark, cause, well... it is cobra. everyone has dark angels. how many people do you see with cobra angels?

nah.. I havnt bought a new MARKER yet this year. not yet. got my matrix june of last year. probably be june before I can justify my IR3. so thats a year.
I've been in the sport 3 years, have had 3 markers.... so.... yea... but they have all been in the past 2 years.
anyways.
if you want to upgrade... go with whatever you feel comfortable with. I suggerst dont get a cocker unless it is higher end... sto or black magic at least. If I could do it again, I would have just saved the money from both the matrix and cocker, and picked up an angel.
ohh well.... thats me. you may not like an angel for some reason. (cause biased people who cant afford them get pissed they cant have one)

I **** you not, I could afford two angels and still have money left to buy an automag and an impulse or two (granted I don't have to pay taxes yet, etc.)......
I just....... don't see the need........ to buy them....... :confused:
call me stupid but what's the point of having a paintball gun that can hit a dime from 10 feet away when you already have one that can nail a half dollar?
*sigh* it's too hot for me to think straight, sorry

I upgraded from my piranha after a year cuz i figured if I didn't buy a tourney grade gun before my baby was born I would just have the fish forever.
Ive put 500 rounds through my PGP, at this rate it would take me 10 years to upgrade.

Who says I ever had a low end gun?
I started with a Sterling STP. Then purchased my first Sovereign (used) about 10 months later. 4 years later, I purchased another sovereign.

I just... stay on top of the times, when I find a gun I like better then my adrenalin, i will buy it...
I reccomend NOT getting that blow back and saving your money till you can afford the gun you realyl want, buying the blowback only makes the process longer and harder...
