: I just purchased a used Sniper 1, I have a Black Magic Autococker so I am familiar with the gun. I am not familiar with pump play and was looking for everyones advise on what upgrades the gun might need. It is stock as best as I can tell.

With any gun, hold off on the upgrades until you've tried it a few times. Then you'll know what needs to be fixed, if anything.

However, a few suggestions:

Since you have an AC, you know about roll-outs. With a pump it's worse - you depend on that first shot. Size your paint to the barrel.

I prefer the most fragile paint that will fit my barrel. Again, you are depending more on that first shot. Also, if you are trying more of the long ball lob shots (they don't often hear the shot comming), fragile paint like Hellfire really helps.

At first it helps to work with a partner that can back you up with firepower when needed - it's a great feeling when you're pinnned down to hear your friend's Angel open up.

Oh yeah, practice. :)

Welcome to the Force!
