I need a semi-auto that is very acurrate. The catch is it needs to be around 230$ USD max because i need to buy N2. Im probably going to buy on ebay. i was thinking a WGP or Smart Parts but im completly open to suggestions.

Do you need Nitro? I would say maybe and E-spyder with a new barrel perhaps? If you don't NEED nitro, I would say go with an Ion and anti-siphoned CO2

You going to have to find some stuff cheap.

You can buy something like this (http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=ngiHJDb_pByHD3SAcdBHjDxZIaf-LdtEaDU=?ProductID=qXbAqArbyckAAAD%2exehmCbZs) for the gun.

And something like this (http://www.actionvillage.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/en/-/USD/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=ngiHJDb_pByHD3SAcdBHjDxZIaf-LdtEaDU=?ProductID=vNGsFAY7YB4AAAD3t2elA_2t) for pretty close to your price. But note that the upgrades for the Trilogy series are *slightly* limited.

For the amount of money that you have... I would say get like a Spyder Imagine. My simple reasoning is this, buy a decent low-level gun/setup that you can easily afford and play/practice with it till the gun that you play with is holding you back and not your skills. You cannot buy skills and your post started off with beginner and tournament grade gun. Spend that leftover money on paint till your skills surpass the abilities of your gun. When you can do that, don't worry there will be plenty of teams that will look to pick you up on their roster... who knows, maybe one of them will be a full ride team that is fully sponsored.

And as for that Ebay thing... unless you know how to work on your gun that you are looking to buy, buy at your local store first. Every store that I know of have some form of extended warranty that surpasses the 30 to 90 day warranty that the manufacturer offers. And if it is used off of Ebay, you won't even get that. Cuz I've seen messed up guns that have ended up costing $20 to $50 to get fixed.

Just my .02 cents

Good suggestion, I was about to say that too. I have an original model Imagine, the green one :) I put a CP 14" chrome barrel, a WDP mini reg (it's ok, I'd' suggest a Palmers thought) a cp flame drop (chrome) a check it 15* asa, bandit bolt, I polished the hammer, installed a bandit valve put a lighter spring in, and a systemx feed adapter, all chrome accents, topped with a rico 2k works freakin sweet

i wanna get an ion or a gun of that quality ive played paintball about 10 time and im sick of bad guns so im willing to get a gun thats under 300USD.

i have alot of time to clean the gun but it cant be very problomatic in the field

im getting into speedball cause i always rush




PS: no electronic markers because im not getting N2 cause it is over my budget

trust me, when you have just started paintball, you wanna go the cheap road. The imagine has very few bugs, a decent ROF when you adjust the trigger, and plenty of custom aftermarket parts. You can make it freakin awesome, believe me!

The co2 will be fine. Your first upgrade will most likely be a barrel, after that it's whatever you feel like replacing.
