any ballers?

Same here... I used to. I played on a pro team for over 10 years. One day I added up how much money I'd dumped into the sport and realized that I could have bought a HOUSE. Quit shortly thereafter. 
Very custom autococker, literally no stock parts left on it.

Havent played since, well... a month after i got the Supra.
Tippmann 98c
BT folding stock
rocket cocker
air response trigger
nice venturi front bolt
bought a billet valve cover and it was shit, never played with it
stock barrel and Tippmann Flatline barrel system
stock CO2 system
stock feed
Thats as far as I got and I was happy with it. I played 'extreme' woodsball with friends for many years, but half of them decided to finally go away to school and there is really no one i enjoy playing the game with anymore. To many cheaters and such (little kiddies) are hoarding the sport and making it no fun. :nono:
Id like to play again sometime.
Im interested to see if anyone who still plays has tried a C3.

I've got a MiniMag (serial#MM12037), AutoMag(serial#35578), and Minicocker(serial#3996)...old school, one of the first 4000 Minicockers ever produced.
that is old school. i used to shoot an angel speed, followed by a beaut apollo lcd. sadly, had to give it up due to money but shortly thereafter got my hands on the supra.
still photograph/airsmith for my team though, we play in a few tourneys around here

Hee hee... my cocker serial is well under 1000. Without taking it out of the case to look ('cause it's at home) I think it's #772.Troyota said:
Worse than that, it was actually my third marker.

AWWW SNAP YO!
YOU IS BUSTED!
Damn Grim...that is deff. Old School. My first marker was an original Spyder...before Kingman started making all kinds of different types of Spyder. (Even before the Spyder Compact.) I traded it for my MiniMag which is still an awesome marker (probably not by today's electromarker standards) When I stopped playing and keeping up w/ the sport the Shocker 4X4 and original Angel were the only electropneumatics out. Now it seems if you don't have one, you are a nobody. BTW anybody catch the NPPL tourneys on ESPN...they are airing as I type.
I still play, but not anywhere near as much as I did before I got the supra....passions sort of shifted, but I haven't sold off any of my monsterous marker collection. Don't know why either
Right now I've got:
Cobra Mamba LCD
Fully custom milled/ano'd Kingman EM-1
Fully custom milled/ano'd MQ E-cocker
custom ano'd tribal twister w/some custom internal goodies
custom ano'd system X vengeance
Custom milled/ano'd/halfblocked 03 sniper
Airstar Nova 700
Air Power Vector B
Kingman Hammer A
AGA .62 (think revolver-esque)
custom dremeled/painted Tippmann SL-68 II
Pneumatic Designs Storm
ICD BM2K (stock...OMGWTF!)
Les Industries Joker Ace
custom milled GTvE (undergoing pump conversion)
green Tippmann A-5
green Tippmann 98 Custom
Not to steal anybody's thunder...my whole collection's worth under 4 grand even though with the custom work it cost about 10...i used to have a classic RT mag that would runaway faster than any ramping I've seen if you fingered it just right. And I also had a phantom that would shoot anywhere from 140fps to 400fps depending on the day. At one point I do believe I had a grand total of 21 guns, but most of the old ones escape my memory.
Anymore I just play pump in the woods...and a little speedball here and there. I used to be all about speedball and tourneys and stuff, but now it's more or less a recreational hobby.
and GrimJack, who'd you used to play for? Was your cocker one of the old bud orr "garage days" ones that sell for as much as a good turbo kit, or one of the later factory ones that re-started serial numbers i think twice? Just curious, I'm all about the old school and custom stuff, as you can probably tell from the guns I own...and it's always fun to hear stories about what paintball was when I was still running around in diapers

I played for a team called WolfPack - I know, terribly orginal, and there must be 100 teams around the continent with the same name. They've been retired since the early 90s.
Definitely one of the originals, I think the sticker price on mine was $3250 Canadian - just over $2000 USD at the time. I was good friends with the Canadian distributor, got some field time with the original cocker prototype - which didn't really work very well at the time. Mind you, neither did anything else except those damn clip fed Tippmans!

wow not everyday you meet somebody from the original wolfpack. Granted by the time you guys retired I wasn't even in kindergarden...I can say things have changed since the 3 foot long tube feeder days, but I can't say I remember them because I never even started playing until 2001. Call me a bit obsessive about the old school days, but I'd have loved to play in a time when it wasn't portrayed as a fast paced shoot 'em to crap then whine when you get hit....sport.
lets see...my "setups"
#1 main marker psycho ballastics lightning
CP shorty reg
PE E2
PBX Mq valve
WGP tickler LPR
#2 backup cocker WGP Outkast
WGP BM inline
STO ram and LPR
#3 backup AGD Classic 69 Automag
stock
#4 backup Tippmann 98 Custom
milled body and new paint
CP flame drop
ACI expansion chamber
2 freak barrels
2 halos
1 revy
HPA tanks to run everything + a 20OZ co2 tank for the tippy
my backups spend more time as loaners then me using them, and i never have to worry about any of them going down, and if something goes wrong, its easy enough to fix

Yeah i started around '01 too and I hate how the things have changed. I before i got my Tippmann, I had a Brass Eagle Tigershark (pump, haha). That was a nice gun, esp. since i bought it for $10. But it rocked for woodsball.
Then i got my tippmann because it was my b-day and i was the only one shooting a pump marker anymore, even though thats the best way to play. :naughty: After that I was getting money and looking to upgrade my gun but I didn't want electronics so i went with the air response trigger.
This brings back memories.
