I am green to paintballin' and just bought a Rodeo. I don't have any experience so I can not say whether or not this is a decent gun. It seems to get the ball pretty much where I want it with no technical difficulties yet. I have had some people tell me I should make it a low pressure shooter. I am confused because the manufacturer says to set it at about 800 psi. What is the advantage of lowering the psi, besides quieting the gun? How do you keep the velocity up when you lower the pressure. Is it worth my time and dime? Is my gun a decent starter? Also one more question, is it worth spending $80 to upgrade my frame to an e-frame and make it an auto or would I be wasting my money and causing myself problems? Thanks for any guidance for a newbie. P.S. I had lots of fun my first time out this weekend. I am hooked ;-)
