I compare this sport to golf. You can get by with inexpensive gear, but if you want to upgrade there are a zillion and a half ways to go and gadgets to add.
Tweaking your gear is part of the fun, imo.

Welp, as long as there is a huge advantage to the gun, then I suppose the price is justified. Better to splat then be splatted on...
DD - there is a HUGE difference from low to mid and mid to high end guns.
Where you get "jobbed" is in the minor variations within each bracket.
For instance you can buy an Angel 4, or you can buy the Angel 4 "Joy Division" edition. (Joy Division is the name of a popular pro team.)
The JD edition has slightly different milling (a leopard is engraved on the
side of the gun) and it has a different color scheme (leopard print anodizing), but performance wise it's the same gun as the stock A4. Yet the cost is
something like $200 more. You're paying a premium to walk around with a limited edition. But then again there are tons of examples of products like that in life, so this is but another.

Cool, I guess those high level guns come in handy in speed ball as wellOriginally Posted by [AK]Squidly
They're bought almost exclusively for that purpose.

I'm about to spend about $60 upgrading it with a T-joint expansion chamber and foregrip
You may want to consider spending a little more and getting a Palmer Stabilizer regulator instead of the expansion chamber. They retail for about $70, and unlike x-chambers, you'll never have to worry about liquid C02 bleeding into your valve, and it will do more to even out some of the velocity spikes.
Or bite the bullet and upgrade to compressed air. The difference in accuracy is remarkable.
