why settle for a tippman 98 when you can go for an ANS autococker?

I would reccomend you stay away from Tippmanns, they are not that great.

I would reccomend a Spyder Imagine, $65 refurbished, and they are amazing entry level markers...

hey guys whats a powerful gun thata can create the most power/ force, because i have a 22 inch barrel at home and we have alot of wooded areas that i kow like the back of my hand and i love sniping so id need a gun that could be adjusted to actually take advantage of the long barrel but i have a feeling if the gun isnt powerful enough to ya know propel the ball ill be s.o.l

Let me know

forget sniping along with the 22" barrel. unless you're allowed to shoot at whatever velocity you want of course. most places you have to be under 280fps. so no matter what barrel or gun you have. the balls are only going to go as far as the velocity that they are fired at will allow them. most like 14" barrels, gives u enough length to press against air bunkers without being overly long.

also if you like building your own gun and tinkering and shlt then i suggest buying an autococker. they are probably one of the most moddable guns out there, cool looking too with the 3way, ram, and moving backblock.... i actually have a mint advanced concepts autococker body that i'd sell for $50shipped. probably have a bunch of other cocker parts around as well. but if you want my TES i'd sell it for $200 with a dye hyper 2 inline reg. unimount drop, and j&j ceramic barrel.

Yeah, and after around 300fps your accuracy will not be good at all. Also, a 22" barrel is not good... Anything over 16" (although 16" is a little too big IMO), is just overkill. The paintball generates its full speed during the first 8-10 inches of the barrel, after that it is just losing velocity due to friction. I would reccomend a 14" barrel.

And that "Sniper Spyder" on eBay is a POS scam. It is a horrible marker. I suggest you get the Imagine, it has an electronic trigger frame, and is very upgradable for when you move farhter into the sport.

Autocockers are good guns, but not good for beginners are all. They are far to complex, and require high end parts, like HPA, which he will probably not use on a budget.
