hi all, just joind the forum, I live in Stamford and have just taken up the sport. Looking at getting a tippmann us army project salvo marker with rap4 22inch fluted barrel, ncstar dp-130 red dot site, and other additional add ons...any one had a go with this...im on the understanding its internally the same as the 98???

yeah the salvo one, bravo one, tango one, annd have the same workings and internals as a tippmann 98 tho are you looking to head down the mil sim route marker wise, or would you consider something that could be a comprimise between the two styles(mil-sim, tourny)
have a look at the Planet Eclipse Etha, you can get whats call an EMC kit and its basically a shell that sits over and around the top [art of the marker/ barrel and gives you rails to mount things while still having a tourny style performance wise while still having rails for anythin else you'd need
jus a sugestion about another possibility that wouldnt mean after a couple of games if you decide you'd want to upgrade already
id stay clear of the 22" barrel firstly, jus as theres no such thing as paintball snipers and the 22" would make it massively barrel heavy and a pain to lug about on the field 14"-16" is kinda the max of sensible limit for alot of people
not trying to put you off jus trying to give you some more info is all

Hi there!
Welcome to the forums!
Rexy has got some really good info there, and it's true that there's no such thing as a paintball sniper, after 14" barrel length you stop gaining any added benefits.
The Etha is also a top class marker which will give you the best of both worlds.

cheers guys, I am pretty much aware that all the add ons in the world are ever gunna make the marker a real sniper. But as it seams your all into woodball and this is my preferred tactic I thought I would mix it up and go a little realistic. Ive looked at other markers like the tippmann x7 frost bite, I like to have a heavy to hand gun that besides im also looking for 2 pistols as back ups .
