PT Xtreme Semi Auto Pistol -where do they go?

[Dariunas]

The PT Xtreme Semi Auto Pistol, very nice. But, but... There doesn't appear to be hopper needed for it. So, er... how can you load the paintballs and how many can it hold? (I know this is probably another budget question, but hey...)

Look at the pic of the pt :

http://www.fatbobspaintball.co.uk/acatalog/Paintball_Pistols.html

If you see its kind of made out of 3 tubes stacked on top of each other - Well the bottom tube has the valve and hammer in it, the tube above that has the barrel, bolt and breech, and finally the top tube has the paintballs in it. It's a similar system to that used in rifle magazines - eg the paintballs are all compressed by a spring and thus get fed in one by one. However, it can only hold a few (10?) at a time.

Hope that helps,

Tom

Edit - Yes its 10 shot capacity, click the more info button on the page above and it gives you that info!

but the question is are these guns actualy any good?
a lot of reviews i have read say that they leak alot and arent brill pistols.

any one got any personal experiences with this pistol???

You can get an adaptor from 32 degrees which fits the pistol to use a hopper with it but seeing as a co2 cartridge only lasts for around 40 to 50 shots its fairly pointless. I haven't used it myself however I have a Zeus G2 pistol on its way from the States which I should have any day now. Once I've used said marker I will post a full review.:rolleyes:

Or you could get an old splatmaster deadly accurate but plastic and a bit bulky to carry as backup

i use a core zx pistol just the same as a zeus pistol. has a good accuracy will be hoping to use it at the star wars game. lol

[landmindscap]

Maybe if the Zeus ever turns up we can compare them at the star wars game.

no one actualy answered what i said so i take it people either havent used the pistol or they think its crap

[Scottie]

My m8 just got a zeus it is the exaact same as the core zx.

[Dariunas]

Yeah, I haven't heard great things about the pistol. A pity cos it looks pretty sexual.

I'm considering the Armotech zues as well. How much do one of the standard ones, no RIS ones set you back, land?

[Dariunas]

Star wars game!!? What? Where? Where?

Also, does anyone have any idea about what's going on with the
thing at www.playdust.co.uk ? It looks tasty, but it also looks like a paintballing pipe dream!:(

ukpsf.co.uk Star Wars senario game in October. I just got my Zeus G2 Today which is the basic now but it has an accesory rail underneath as standard. Look at the thread A5 Vs Autococker. I put stuff about it in there.

[Dariunas]

I want the Zues G2. It looks pretty sexual. But also hear good things about the PT professional. By the way, what about tha splatmaster for spares? How much you want for it? Unless someone knows where I can get a 10 round ube loader thingy from? Checked on ebay but couldn't find anything.

[zapp brannigan]

i was checking out www.xpaintball.com for hoppers and pots etc when i came across 10 round tube loaders.

[landmindscap]

Tube loaders are for the old splatmasters. I dont know who the PT extreme loads but the zeus has a 10 shot magazine that sits on the top and can be changed in seconds.

[Dariunas]

Hey land... what say you about the splatmaster for spares? Still offerage for saleage?
