Hey guys, i've been trolling around for a while. been playing for a pretty short time now, but i caught the bug, and now i'm hooked. My original marker was an older 98 custom



played with it for a while, then found and Alpha black on CL for a steal. picked it up last week



just lookin for a low-pro cyclone and e-grip now and i'll be done for a while.

here's the two together



havent gotten to play with the AB yet, but we're going out next weekend and i am PUMPED.

nice guns man. points for the cutomization!

I like the front grip on that Alpha Black.

Thanks guys. i'd also like to find a drop forward similar to the one on the 98 but in black for the AB. i just always found that it gave me a great freedom of movement with the tank forward and out of the way. i've thought about going remote, but i'm not sure. it just seems like the tank would get in your way when taking cover behind a tree, or especially in undergrowth. I end up crawling through 2' tall weeds to get to a good position about once every two or three games, and it just seems to me that having a huge tank on your back would get annoying. Anyone want to chime in with their experience with remote tanks?

I always run a remote when playing woods ball. It really helps with mobility and keeping the tank out of the way. It also seems to help with the ping sound a co2 tank makes when shooting(annoying to me).

but do you notice the tank getting in your way while strapped to your back at all? we dont have bunkers to play in, so we rely heavily on woods cover and undergrowth. i just dont want my tank stickin out and gettin tagged every time

From what I have seen, they are not much worse than a standard pod pack. Of course it really depends on how big a tank you use as well. Of course the larger your tank the more it will stick out.

I personally stick with my tank on my gun as I sling mine on my back to switch over to my Tiberius some times.

Does anyone know of a good place to get a cyclone and low-pro hopper for it for a decent price?

depend on the size of the tank and how your vest is made. Im using a V-tac Echo vest from Valken ans love it! got lot of room for pods and u put my 48/3000 steel horizontally in my back, dont feel it at all. the weight is really well placed.
