Just got my imagine and need upgrade tips

[spyderimagine01]

Plus im (semi)new to Paintball its self, and I don't know what half the crap is I plan on buying a new barrel, but not really sure what else. I have everything I need (I think) Co2 tank, barrel plug, hopper, 9.6(or w/e) volt battery, mask and spare parts. But is there anything else I need to have the basics? And is there any CHEAP upgrades I need? Thanks in advance

ALSO if someone could tell me EXACTLY what this elbow thingy does, that'd be great

the elbo is the little cheep plastic adapter that you use to connect the hopper to your gun. These break really easily. You should get a new feedneck b/c the plastic one gets annoying.

Ok, so do I HAVE to use it, or will it work without it?

[ad0131065]

if you want a hopper on your gun you have to use it or buy a feedneck.

A clamping feedneck is a great first upgrade and it is not to expensive. You can then think about adding an electronic hopper. A 12v Revolution or an Evolution hopper. You can also get a regulator to help stabilize the pressure. If you are going to play a lot it would be a good idea to get a High Pressure Air (HPA) tank. If you really want to mod your marker you can get it to run Low Presure. To get all the info you could want about upgrades for you gun go to Otters Bible site. Here is the link Paintball Bible

Welcome to the boards and ask away.
