Been playing Recball recently after coming back to paintball after many years off. As a former tournament player I have really been looking for ways to keep an aggressive fun play style while not running down the side of the field and shooting everyone in the back. First I put away my G6r and pod pack in favor of hopper ball with an emek. But now I am looking for more fun and I think stock class is the way to go!

Now the fun part, choosing what type of pump you want! Super light and mobile, look at a Phantom. More solid and smooth, look at a cocker-based pump. Or just want to dip your toe in, find cheap Azodin. Then figure out just how much money you want to spend! -
No, you don't "think" you need a pump. You KNOW you need a pump.
I would say ease into stock class. Get an open class like a good sniper build (and I don't mean an Empire Sniper, I mean a "cocker pump") OR play with the Phantom or whatever stock class marker in open class then start switching over.
Stock class isn't for everyone, while I have enjoyed it to a degree it's not what I prefer unless I was playing only with other SC players.
But that's just me.Comment

Stock Class is a hard jump from Semi lots of things you have to be aware with that are not actually playing the game and you can not depend on rapid fire to get you out of most situations. I tend to recommend playing open class first before jumping into stock class keeps the frustrations down while your muscles are creating muscle memory for a pump.

Thank you for the advice. I have played a little bit of stock class when I first started playing paintball but quickly got swept into the tournament scene. I want the most challenge I can get right now because the local field I play at is mostly rentals and very chill recreational players nice electrosComment

Definitely borrow a pump to try it before you go buying one. It's fun, but it's also a totally different thing.
I though I wanted to play pump, but it turns out I enjoyed the gmek play instead. I still shoot less paint, but I actually have a chance of catchign somebody running, and it's not a dire situation if the paint isnt' perfect and won't break.Comment

This! Paintball is really fun when you treat it like a bad loadout challenge in COD, Halo, or Battlefield.

The junk class game we played earlier this fall was some of the most fun I've had playing paintball lately. I used a tigershark, a single shot pgp that was chronoing at a blazing 220 fps and a pump Spyder that was farting so bad I was burning a 13/3k every 60 or so shots. It was glorious and reminded me of the type of nonsense that happens when you're new to the game.

This is the way….
Stock Class I recommend the CCI phantom with detents
My favorite open class are CCMComment

Pump is the way, and every once in a while it’s fun to use stick feed on a automag or emekComment

I actually am starting to enjoy using stick feeds more and more on stuff that really shouldn't be stick fed. It makes trigger control much more important and I feel like it makes me play smoother than if I'm just pumping like a mad man. This is currently my favorite thing to use.Comment

Where are you playing? The northeast has a killer pump groupComment

Stockclass is so much fun, you could check for a phantom or modify a sniper for 12g and stick feed. But the best way is to go with a custom brass sheridan.
this one is a good deal

And there is several member here that work on them for freak or freak XL mod the barrel and 12g quick changer and service kit can be found here at PGP junkies

If you also want an open class pump, this 2k3 sniper is a good deal with the slice kit and you could buy a stick feed or small hopper from paintball dna to go with it. Eventually you could upgrade for a single trigger slider frame
