oh by the way i also have another gun for sale, the specs are:

2000 Autococker
upgraded valve-Shocktech 3:16 valve
upgraded regulator-PMI regulator
stainless steel bottom line
will include 20 oz co2 tank, 9 volt revolution hopper, barrel, original case and tools, etc

new for everything would cost about $420 but willing to sell for $320. this gun simply surpasses the Shutter in performance but maintenance is quite difficult. if you have a paintball store in your area then i would recommend getting this gun because that way you can send the gun to the store for maintenance if not the field that you play at should have a airsmith and he would be able to do the same also. well once check out the website for pix and details on the gun and just post on this thread whether or not you would be interested.

yes the gun is indeed new but doesnt include a new barrel($50), a 9 volt hopper($30?) 20 oz c02 tank($25) so i think it works out pretty good. also if your still not happy let me know maybe i can work something out then

I noticed the paint post above and that raises a question. I was into paintball years ago (ex-Pres. of Shoot to Thrill indoor/outdoor fields in Sacramento CA) but back then paint was really the limiting factor. Gun quality made maintenance easier but didn't really feed a whole lot faster or shoot "much" straighter. So is current paint technology better? Or are "good" guns overpriced?

I love the concept of electronic valve control. I come from the days of adding a spool valve, piston, & home-made low-pressure CO2 regulator to a Sheridan pistol and re-welding on a longer upper barrel. Talk about nasty unreliable semi-auto's!

to be honest yes paint quality has quite vastly improved since the time your were running your field. you can ask most experts/professionals in the field and about 99.99% will say that paint match with barrel is the most essential thing you need to do in order to maximize performance out of a paintball gun. with the wide array or barrels and paintballs out there finding the correct combination can be quite tedious but is definitely worth the work as it pays off so dearly in the end.

tippmann pro-lite. had it for 6 years and i can still kill people with it that have newer and more expensive guns.

i paid 150 for mine used and it can kill a guy with carbine flatline system.
