Yo dudes. I don't know how many of you dudes out there are smokers, but if youre trying to quit I would definitely recommend 'Allen Carr's Easyway to quit smoking'. Ive been smoking 1-2 packs a day for about 2 and a half years now. I read it in about 4 hours (Im a pretty fast reader), and went from smoking 1-2 packs per day to not a single one in almost a week. I tried at least a dozen times to just stop but it didn't work, I was considering $150 hypnotherapy until a buddy lent me this book, three days later I had stopped smoking and haven't had one in 6 days. If you want to quit, I would definitely recommend this book.

Good on ya. Keep it up.

I know one thing that helps me is staying away from other smokers.
I'm a monkey see, monkey do kind of guy.

Yes I get a real craving for it often and I feed that craving but if I steer clear of other smokers it helps as well

Unfortunately I cant really escape it, I live in a house that people smoke in, all of my friends except the odd one are smokers. It doesnt really bother me though, I like being the only person in the room who isnt smoking.

I own a phantom cuz it's pretty. But for actually USING a pump gun...Sniper allllll the way. Dan has the ticket here.

And smoking sucks...hoping quitting lasts for you Dan.

If you had some giant old school paint that wouldn't roll out of your barrel it might.

The Apex Elite has a massive bore as well, which makes rollouts a problem with them too. And since they have a fixed barrel its even harder to remedy. The Air Power Vector (the semi they made) has the same size barrel (.700) and it shoots darts, but since it's an open bolt setup with a wire detent, rollouts aren't a problem. Don't get me wrong, the pump stroke on the Apex is super nice, but I think I'd still take a Bushmaster. At least you can machine a smaller bore barrel down to fit in the Bushmasters smile.gif

As long as it's Nelson based, it's better than Dan's gun.
