Terrible guns that are fun to use

[Jonnydread]

Spyder victors. They are just so stupid simple, and loud

E force piranhas on full auto, same reasons

I've never had good luck with electro sear trippers. Granted most of my experience was in the early 2000s with a Halo-A, but the memories of chopping haunt me.

Full-auto SMG-68. You need to feed it liquid CO2, it's hilariously inaccurate, it's got a stupid combination of tiny magazine capacity and high rate of fire, it shoots valuable clips out the side at high velocity so you're always distracted by chasing them down during a firefight, the hammer slamming around probably weighs more than an emek, and you're constantly keeping an eye out for the magazine getting bent out of shape and stopping function completely.

Despite those things, it's...just the best.

I've seen the videos they look bonkers

I wouldn't say they're terrible, but my ProCarbine and my A5 are a bit of a challenge to use. The ProCarb has a very nice Dye stainless barrel, so is decently accurate, but the trigger is just god awful heavy and crunchy compared to the later 98 and A5. That being said, it's light compared to some of my mags, and it points very well. I just wish it had a trigger setup like my A5. My A5 is setup as a quasi pistol with a 50rd Tac Cap, Benchmark expansion chamber with asa port so I can run a 3.5 Co2 tank under the marker. The trigger is actually quite good on it. It's very fun, but a bit of a handicap to use. That was the point though!

You could always swap out springs... common mod back in the day was to use a SL68-II trigger spring.

I find M98 and A5 triggers almost TOO light.

My Factory F/A... 140 round hopper meant you ran out of paint fast, and you had to wind the hopper every so often or when you ran your hopper empty so it would feed, but you couldn't wind it too much or you'd break the clockspring. Using CO2 meant you'd fill it with liquid once in a while and puke snow out the barrel and cocking slot until it cleared out, too.

Full-auto put a big smile on your face, though... and with the BOA barrel it felt like I could put the paint wherever I wanted.

I miss that thing.

[Cunha]

the F/A was still being advertised when I started playing so I've always wanted one of those. They seem reasonably reliable, and so very tippmanny.

[russc]

A Factory F/A with a cyclone would be amazing.

Well if they didn't chop, they probably wouldn't be part of this thread

Maybe it's because my first gun was a Stingray, but I consider myself something of a connoisseur when it comes to jank.
I've gone out of my way to collect a bunch of stuff that is interesting but objectively awful, mostly because I tend to play at the same fields over and over and have been trying to find ways to keep things interesting to me, and sporting when playing against renters.
To that end, I have discovered and documented that there's a whole galaxy of different jank out there.
There are things that are dated but reliable, like Splatmasters...
...super intimidating to look at, but incredibly limited in capacity...
....things that are both limited in capacity and range, but also terribly unreliable due to poor ammunition choice...
... pitifully limited in usability altogether...
...and ultimately one might find oneself using a paintball gun that is not in fact a paintball gun at all.

Empire Trracer. It may be just a nelson rehash, but it's still a Nelson. I put a tactical Kaner kit on it, lipstick on a pig.

[ghilliesuit]

Well I have to go to the stingray Ii. It was light. Loud. Reliable. Well mine was reliable- not sure if this was luck or the norm though. It was a little rough on paint with CO2 but no more than most STBB or inline mechs.

Stingray. I love back bottle setups & the grip is very comfortable to me. Also, the composite body & frame are virtually indestructible. They’re also pretty loud & that trigger.....oh man that trigger. A blister on your trigger finger at the end of the day was pretty much guaranteed. Fun guns though.

[The Inflicted]

Ever heard of the Kimel AP-9?

[homerj]

I had not. Love that grip frame.

When I got back into the game in 08/09 I picked up a used BT TM-7. It was awful looking but hey, basically a mini tucked inside a plastic clamshell. I needed something to get the job done at Electro woodsball events and this gun totally delivered.

[Darknite667]

T68 firestorm Pistol. There is just something about a STBB pistol setup to shoot on 12 grams with a 10 round spring loaded tube fireing in 3 round burst/full auto that is entertaining. I dont like constantly feeding it 12 grams and paint from tubes every 10 seconds so it has a reverse mounted asa and warpfeed (and shortened apex barrel) installed on it now. Its a cinderblock when fully loaded but its a fully automatic cinderblock that shoots around corners so it puts a smile on my face whenever I use it.

Empire Trracer. It may be just a nelson rehash, but it's still a Nelson. I put a tactical Kaner kit on it, lipstick on a pig.

I really wish I hadn't sold mine. Do you have the springfeed kit for yours?

[Jonnydread]

Same here. Definitely a little rough around the edges, but a solid pump with nice options.

[spikeball]

Tippmann Gryphon. Ugly but is super lightweight due to it's plastic body, its hoseless, and has 98 internals, so it's robust where it really counts. Outer shell absolutely sucks.

[kevin qmto]

Gotta go with the Sheridan Equalizer. Back bottles are awful but I love using the darn thing anyway. Most people are shocked that it works at all.

[iamthelazerviking]

I remember seeing your vid. Rip some ropes.

[pghp8ntballer]

I love playing with my stingray... but I’ve never had an issue with it.

But not easy to play with and a boat load of fun? Original Nelspot. No not a 007. An Oiler. No pump grip, no ball stop in the feed tube, stock internals, no cup seal pierce pin, and the original leather holster. My best and favorite shots and games have been with only my oiler Nelspot in my hand!

I have a lot of fond memories playing with autocockers and Angel LCDs. Some are shattered by ooey gooey barrels due to my terrible rhythm on electro triggers.
