Yeah, you don't want to see how much stuff we have. :blink: 8 Action packers full of gear. Over 30 Guns. 30 masks. 50+ C02 tanks. We even got the point where we made 4 complete guns out of just misc parts we had laying around.

I've owned well over a dozen high ends.

One at a time....I'm a minimalist lol, I currently own one Vanguard Demon and I'm contemplating getting another or a used Creed as a backup but I know for a FACT my wife will think it's a waste lol. Maybe I'll just break into the parts kit I'm getting from Vanguard and have a backup engine and board, if something goes down, swap it out, back to it!

Gosh damn that's so much stuff. I wouldn't own that much stuff. But like somebody said, it's your hobby! That's why I wanna pick up an ego 11.

Ask that Pirate guy if he thinks having more than one gun is worth it.

Protip: Pretty sure he said he had 300+.


Over 100, but nowhere close to 300.

I have 8 myself. Three are older guns I bought new back when I i was young to the sport and will never sell.

4 come with me to the field all the time. An AGD RT ULE Automag for pretty much all play. A DP E1 for a super tight semi auto speed ball set up. A Tippmann A5 as a loaner or for long balling (flatline or apex). And my Tippmann SL-68II for almost everything, it my go to gun I started in this sport plain pump and still find it the most fun.

My last marker Is a empire Trracer. Had this for a while. Not sure what I wana do with this one. May sell it since I use the SL68 far more than this. Currently it sits on my TV stand as decoration.

I can understand the appeal of being a collector, but financially its a waste.

Most guns I ever had at once was 3, and it drove me nuts trying to decide which one to use that day. So for that reason I'll only ever own 1

I tend to get Toy Story syndrome with my belongings, it's like I feel guilty if I use one more than the other.

Only if you like things that depreciate.

I'm not saying it's a wise investment strategy, but not every marker loses 50% of its value when the next year's model comes out. :)

You're still losing money though, just some guns faster than others

As I said before, I can see the appeal in collecting, but personally I thinks its a waste of money to have more guns than you will use.

3 guns at one time is still considered "multiple" :tup:
And if i had money when you were selling that Rev-i of yours, I would have snagged it. ;)

Not true at all. Some markers don't depreciate, and others manage to appreciate over the years.

When Murphy's law strikes, you'll be glad you had an extra marker or two. Even minor problems like shredding o-rings take up play time, so it's often quicker to just switch to a different gun. You get more playing time that way, and you'll be happier in the long run. Plus, if you want to take a nooby out to play against people with their own equipment, they can have your backup and be a bit more competent.

I never said it wasn't multiple haha, that's why I no longer own 3, I found it to be a waste of money.

Care to list what guns you can buy for MORE than they cost brand new?

Other than the obvious SL91, Shuxe 1of1 guns.
