Re: How much $$$?

My A-5 was easily over 1k which is why I had to switch to something else. I owned it for for 2 years and it felt like a monthly car payment!

I bought my blazer, paid 900+ for it and added a few things later. New barrel, Stabilizer, Pump Kit, Grips and a few other various things. But in the past year I haven't spent more than 15 dollars on it other than feeding it of course.

Re: How much $$$?

I had 900-999 but i wouldn't doubt it for a second if I'm way under with that estimate (thats only my A5). Just from buying the gun changing the set up 3 or 4 times and putting in regular maintenance $$(ex. o-rings, oil...) for the last 14 years, i bet if you add paint into the equation im upwards of $20k+ or so, when it comes to paintball i try not to think of the $$ involved if my wallet allowes me to play then im out on the field. i picked up an extra job so i could play 4 days a week if need be.

Re: How much $$$?

I just want to say thanks for making me tally all my A-5 purchases.... Damn is all I have to say… putting it down on paper was an eye opener!

Should we start A-5 anonymous? I think I have a problem...

Re: How much $$$?

My Ion's got about $450 pumped into it so far, and my A-5 has eaten up even more.

Re: How much $$$?

My A5 had about $250 in it+the $200 originally.. My Pyre has $35 in 'ups'(3.5 oz tank).. But cost way more than my A5.
