Question for all the paintballers on MFK

[Plec123]

Ive got a paintball gun that looks quite a lot like an M16. Its a tippman but its called an "army black".
Its very accurate, and it came with a small CO2 tank (16oz.) and a mask.
The whole package was like $250.

As far as im concerned, i think the gun's great. It shoots about 290fps i think.

My question is, why do some guns cost over $1000?
What makes them that much better that they cost $750 more?

i used to play on a team there are massive differences from that one to the electronic markers. right before i got out i was wanting an auto-cocker, those were known for distance and accuracy at the time, mind you this was years ago...

hmm...
the CO2 pressure makes the gun recock itself automatically after each shot.

yeah but they used to have to be tuned a lot. kinda complex. but badass. here...

...wow. Lol.
I hadn't imagined they'd be like that.
So, that makes the gun $750 more?
Ie gotta be missing something here.

it's worth every penny. i had spent close to 1k on my old one and still would rather have had an auto-cocker

Im still happy with my gun tho.
