bryce, my neighbor has an old splatmaster that he never used in a game that he is willing to part with for 20$. it doesn't leak or anything, would it be a good pump to use in a scenario or is it flawed?

[brycelarson]

well, if you consider that adjusting velocity is terrible, they're slow, inaccurate and inefficient flaws - then yes. they're flawed.

they're a blast - but they're so far behind the performance and technology curve that they are a tough choice for serious play.

splatmasters are retardedly simple.

But I don' think they were made in the late 80's

I think it was somethign like '83 when the first one was made "for the survival game" lol.

[brycelarson]

yup, first ones in '83/'84 - made through the late '80s.

[littlekidwithdahat]

How much did these guys retail for 25 years ago?

[fairweasel2323]

i have the splatmaster rapide the semi aouto version but need a magazine for it. anyone know where u can still get the mags its square believe it has 4 tubes inside each tube holds 5 paintballs.

[CTSDavies]

oh and yes, it was the very first paintball gun to be released for the actual use of paintball (or survival game)

However I think the LX700 (I'm not sure if that's the actual name, I can't remember) was the first gun to ever fire paint rather than bullets. It was designed for practicing your shot though with a real gun.
