Hello teamliquid I noticed a the lack of a thread for my fellow paintballers and I to discuss one the best "Extreme" sports known to man kind.
I'll start the thread by posting pics and specs of my main marker for now.
-its a 2004 alias in a black shocktech body and shocktech clamping feedneck -really old board only has semi and the standard features such as dwell debounce (no mdbounce) and BIP. -360 bob long reg -Pillow bolt -Eigen ram -J&J edge barrel kit -Lurker eyes -Lurker Battery Harness -I think the trigger is from a dragon intimidator but I'm not sure because I'm not the original owner. -Old style CP twist on/off and CP gauge -Hybrid contract killer grips (THESE ARE AMAZING) -Hybrid adjustable ram cap -Vlocity junior hopper with gangster chip -Hope to get the board flashed soon when I get money from my summer internship and then I'll be able to leave this baby alone.
I like to play everything from woodsball to airball but I have to say woodsball is my favorite (when its not tick season!, which is almost never in maryland D: ). I've never played in any scenarios due to time and money but I would love to. Alright whos next?
|
oh man you're taking me back to some good old times with this thread.... maybe I should play some scenarios this summer
|
i regret selling my paintball gun so much. I put so much money into it and every moment with it was pure joy.
|
Now that I think about it, I need to start playing paintball as well.
Sweet gun, I just went with "what's cheapest", because I've only used it on other people once. It's a VL Crusader, which I assume is brand name for "terrible".
Call it the boom-pistol 'cause if you take off the barrel it's LOUD.
|
Thanks I might be giving this to my brother in exchange for his 06 borg because he likes mine so much.
|
My favorite, the Treshold
And my F8s

ooh A Dangerous power man eh? I've almost bought many of their guns over the years but always turned away at the last second. Thresholds were a limited run right?

I used to play paintball a lot when I was a kid. Got was too expensive. I'm pretty sure a cocaine addiction is cheaper than that sport I sold all my stuff except for my 03 GZ Intimidator and a few extra barrels so I don't feel bad posting on PBN haha
|
Lol I remember this one time at the field some newbie called a FEP Quest a shocker knock off. He almost got buried that day.

Yeah they made just under 500 of them.

always hesitant to any paintball talk on the internet outside of pbnation because i am usually talking about speedball and tournament play, and they are usually talking bout their super cool tippman that they have all modified to look like a M16 and how they wear full camo and gilly suits, BUT
I was presently surprised when i actually read the post.
I sadly dont play anymore though i used to compete but i lost over $5,000 in paintball stuff when my house was broken into last summer =(...
I HAD a White (limited edition) 08 ego with polish blue parts, and custom made grips with SubZero (as in the mortal kombat character) on em. Had a black/blue pm6 (was my first tournament gun). Had an Ironman Intimidator that was more for show and i never really liked using it cause it was old and really heavy, but got it for super cheap from friend of a friend sort of thing.
I still have my Autococker pump with Prostock body and deluxe pump kit. but i just dont have the money to go anymore =/. For 2 years i was at the fields every weekend, even twice in a weekend sometimes, but since all my gear got stolen it just makes me sad. =(.
Cool to see a paintball post that isnt just war stories about the day u dressed in full camo and shot some little kid with ur tippman
|
I can't imagine if my gear were stolen. Its not just the money I mean all the time I've spent with my marker learning how to get it working just right and all the effort I put into. It's like stealing a section of your life.
|
I haven't played in over a year being in Korea and all my stuff is in the US. I still have a Etek backup and use the now dead 09 impulse. I got serial number 001 too...wonder if KEE actually does maintenance on these things. I never got a replacement valve since since I didn't run into the problem.

pretty much how it feels... was the worst thing that i lost in the experience, because it had the most time/effort of anything put into it and collecting it all... =(. Was like losing my best friend =(.

I have a special edition DP fusion. will get a picture up when i go home. I also have a few tippmanns and spyders sitting around
|
Oh perfect timing. Some I ran into some kid I used to hang out with and he regularly goes to Skrimish in PA now. I havent played in years. Paintball is so so so much fun.
I still have my Spyder Classic
http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/5/
that I bought in like 2000. Not that I used it a ton, but that thing was fucking rock. Some moron bent my upgraded barrel, but give me one of those and I'd play all day.

Good ol paintball. Back in the days when I had a disposable income and could afford to play tournaments.
Guns I've owned.... let's see.... Two Egos A handful of Shockers More Intimidators than I can count, they're by far my favorite gun to shoot Some Matrixes A Vice Some Onyxes (great guns, wish I still had mine) An Invert Mini, awesome little gat
But of all the tousands of dollars I've spent on tourmanent level markers, my all time favorite is still the first one I ever owned: 02 vert feed Autococker that I put a pump kit on:
It's beautiful!
|
cockers are amazing, I've never owned one though because I never wanted to learn to how to time one.

@MaestroSC: disrespecting woodball are we? It's awesome to play! And it's cheaper and easier than speeball (which is far better to watch).
@Hawk: I ♥ Skirmish. I haven't been there in a few years, though

2004 Ion w/ virtue board and a few other upgrades 450$ gun with upgrades shoots like a 1000$+ never forget sadly paintball isn't a sport you can afford without sponsors when you're in school
