Originally I played pump because I was REALLLY curious about it, and being that it did save me money it was a good way to justify it :) I play pump now becaue its fun and super light. Being 1/4 as expensive is just a bonus

Considering i spent around $500 on a t2, no lol. Pump is honestly the most fun and the paint savings are a happy accident. And about autotriggers, the main thing I use the at for is the snap shooting trick(load ball, as you are popping out shoot, pump and shoot w/ at another coming back in). When I first started pump I used my friends kp, which didn't have an at. Once you get the rhythm down its not needed

I play pump because it is fun and challenging. Save money is a plus. But I am a little bit of a cheap scape. I like spending good money on quality paint though. I wouldn't mind spending $100 on a really nice case of paint that will last me for a whole month.

I started playing pump because 1.) I was burning through too much paint too fast 2.) I wanted to work on my accuracy (which back then sucked). 3.) My buddy had recently acquired a Phantom, which looked pretty cool and was even cooler to see in use. However, once I started, I never went back, because it's SO. MUCH. FUN.
-- I don't always play pump, but when I do...no, wait, I always do.

I wouldn't say that pump players are cheap, but cheap people play pump.

I played 3-8 times a month all season and 1-4 scenarios with electros, I play 3-8 times a month all season and 1-4 scenarios with a pump, I play recball primarily, running down rental players with an electro is boring to me and discouraging to them,

running around with pistols or a pump is more enjoyable

to be honest i started playing pump, because it was cheeper. and because a friend of mine had his own little field playing pump would save air and let us play for longer. 4 years ago and i never turned back. i sold all my semi markers. for small games i play stock. and for bigger games i use a small tank and small hopper . now im at the point where if i was to use even a semi it would sorta feel like cheating. or im using wallhacks or something. but its very enjoyable if you play with good guys.

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical,
Liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media,
which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I started playing in the woods with a bunch of friends. Then I really got into the sport and mainly tourney ball, my friends never played as much as me (every Sunday and most Saturdays)so I naturally just got better than them. I played with them a few times after and they just didn't have much fun. The only guns I had were tourney guns and they had spyders and tippmanns. So I bought a pump and now I can enjoy playing with them again. I also just loved it enough to keep playing it alot.

I started pump because I could, and its nice to have one in your little arsenal. I enjoy pump, and I love having options when I get bored.
But as to saving money, id like to think that I have a pump to save money on paint, and sometimes I do, but if you've seen me play open class pump with an autotrigger...oh god I empty pods like a mofo.
But I didn't really play pump because I wanted to save money. I do it because its a different style of play. But hey, if I end up saving more paint with my pump, hell, more paint to use for lanes with my electro next game.

I started playing paintball with a pump arond 1997 because it was cheap. When I could aford it I bought a semi-auto. After a few years of that I started playing with stock pumps for fun. Now I haven't played with anything else since 2009. I'm having to much fun and don't know that I'll ever stray from pumps again.
