Here are some questions i have for people who ACTUALLY own a timmi:

Are they quiet-really, not like spyder quiet, but auto cocker quiet, or even shocker quiet?

Do they shoot VERY accuarate-not like a shocker accuarate, but almost like that?

What kind of gas source should i use-HPA or Co2

What is a nice aftermarket setup for them-like drop 4wrd, secondary reg, ASA adapter, internal mods, macro, micro or steel hose?

Are they light when properly configured-say about 4 to 5 lbs?

Are they good for snap shooting-too long with stock barrel, if so what is a good aftermarket barrel.

Any other stuff u did or would reccomend

Please answer if you can! I've decided that the planet shocker is 1.-too much, while i spend 200 dollars more on it, is it really worth it? and 2.-too good for me ;)

I don't own one, my roomate does.
Yes, quiet, (spyder's quiet ? eh?)
stock barrel is accurate too...
I suggest HPA 88/4500
Drop forward, mods etc. Your choice. Macro hose suggested
yes about 4 pounds.. very nice..

get a shorter barrel. 10" work great.. and accurate too

I own one. Here we go

Stock, it is maybe one of the loudest guns I've ever heard. I dont mind it though, so I havent corrected this problem. You can do an LP mod which costs you 0 dollars if you have an adjustable air source (either an adjustable nitro tank, or an inline regulator) that will make it quiet like you wouldnt believe. only sound you hear is the bolt moving back and forth

Do they shoot VERY accuarate-not like a shocker accuarate, but almost like that?

Super consistent, and thus, very accurate

What kind of gas source should i use-HPA or Co2

HPA for sure. Though Bob Long wont confirm this, I believe your gun will explode if you hook it up to a CO2 tank. Actually, it will work, but not so good

What is a nice aftermarket setup for them-like drop 4wrd, secondary reg, ASA adapter, internal mods, macro, micro or steel hose?


The gun doesnt come with anywhere to put your air source, so you will need an ASA and a drop forward as well as some hose. Macro, Micro or SS is a personal choice and you can use whatever you like. I like the SS myself. I'd recommend the LP mod, you can do it yourself, or get someone to do it when you order it. Shouldnt cost 2 much, it's only about 5 minutes of work.


Are they light when properly configured-say about 4 to 5 lbs?


Yep


Are they good for snap shooting-too long with stock barrel, if so what is a good aftermarket barrel.


Stock barrel is pretty short actually, and will work nicely for snap shooting. It's a pretty good barrel actually, not just a pipe like some markers come with


Lastly, I just want to point out how good this marker is. With the Anti-chop eyes, you can shoot a full 14 bps and not chop a paintball. Few other markers can make this claim. It's pretty dead on consistent as well, so the shot groupings are nice and tight. Somewhat more efficient than the shocker too :)
