Sorry if you want me on your team this bad you're going to have to do better than that! I want at least 3 sexual favors. :p :love:

[Kyonye]

fine...3 favors it is.....now get your ass up here!!!! :p

[Peacemaker]

Upstate NY? I live in upstate NY. And I like Ivan have the beloved gun. And its not just a gun. Its THE gun. All bow down before the Old School Matrix with Q loader, in shipping fanning trigger, arrdvark slam bolt, and in shipment Trinity Mini Reg.

Please try not to drool at my jaw dropping 29bps RoF.

(Please note that the RoF will soon be increased with a hot new Tadao 5.0 board)

[firecrackerNC]

where exactly do you live?


My Cyborg shoots 30 balls per second at it's peak...Gladiator Reg is by far the best, the sonic clamp is definately worth it. LegionAir is the best screwin tank available on the market.

I play at elementz, been to some tournaments at FPP in albany..

I see you use the Q-Loader too...How is it?

hey firecracker, what do you have on it?

I was also looking into the new ION for a backup gun (although I wouldn't be able to use it because under my MacDev sponsorship I can only shoot the Cyborg). I know they had to recall them because, like the Nerve, thet mass made them and distributed them so quickly. but the ION looks so SWEET...

[firecrackerNC]

Uh lets see, a 14' Freak barrel kit, Halo B hopper, Wazzi board(sp?) Vision, Tape worm, big ass drop forward, Crossfire 4500psi tank 88ci Dye sticky grips, thats all I can think of now. Im probally mission something but o well.

[Kyonye]

i'm looking into to getting a Tadao board for my Cyborg...He's working on it now and hopefully it'll be worth the money. It is Tadao Technologies so it should be good.

[Peacemaker]

I live in the vacinity of Albany, I do have a car and such so trips arnt a burden on me.

The Q Loader, how should I describe this thing..... um... its like a woman who cant have a clitoral orgasm... you need to hit the G spot.... The Q loader is a bitch to get running 100% but when you do... holy shit, get out of my way. I timed my self and I emptied 500 paintballs in around 40 seconds (bout 5 to acctualy shoot 1 out of 5 pods and then a couple more seconds to chamber another pod)

The Tadao board is what is going to put my gun back on top. With a set of eyes and the Tadao 5.0 board the RoF has not been determined as its just too fast.... no one has peaked it out yet, man or machine. Right now my gun is like par with the others, but with this little tweak, it will be the best gun around again.

[Kyonye]

Where abouts do you play? any fields or in your backyard?

[LiLKiLLeR]

I live in the vacinity of Albany, I do have a car and such so trips arnt a burden on me.

Where near Albany are you? I'm over in Voorheesville (near Guilderland).

As for the paintball I don't play now, but I plan on buying some type of gun soon so I can play this summer with a couple friends. Anyone have suggestions on what I should get for my first gun? Nothing to expensive...just a nice little gun for a noob like me :)

[Kyonye]

Well, first and foremost, what is price range?

I always say for any beginner to pick up a Tippmann 98 Custom, or a Tippman A-5 (A-5 is more expensive, but not by too much). Also, Smart parts just came out with a new gun called the ION, priced at $300MSRP...It's a nice gun for it's price.


For you, as a beginner, I say pick up a Tippmann 98 Custom or a Tippmann A-5...reason being is because they are easy to take care of, and they are very reliable Paintball Markers...also, they aren't electric...to start off with, you should always go Mechanical because they are easier to deal with and take care of. I started off with very low-end guns and worked my way up. don't by a spyder, not that they are bad markers, They just aren't that good. out of the 98 custom and the A-5, i'd go with the 98 Custom...Cheaper and just reliable with almost the same bps (balls per second). A-5 achieves 15bps and 98 customs achieves 12bps.

Also, when you get a gun, first thing to look for is a new after market barrel (basically means non stock barrel)...the stock barrels on the tippmanns aren't that good and you can pick up a 12" J&J Ceramic for around $30-$40. with an after market barrel on the gun, it'll be much more accurate.

really the only problem is see with tippmann's is that they're air hogs but not really as bad as people think...you can shoot plenty with them with a 20oz CO2 tank....

Good beginner Setup:
JT Proflex Goggle system
Tippmann 98 custom
J&J Ceramic barrel (or any other good barrel, such as the Stiffi)
20oz CO2 tank
Either VL200 hopper if you are gonna play woodsball
or VL Revolution 12volt with X-board if you are gonna play speedball

I know this isn't really on topic, but it's on the topic of paintball.

I have recently purchased a 500 round box of "ReBalls." They are like the name implies reusable balls. They are a semi soft rubber. I say semi cause you can squeeze them just a little bit but not completely.

I downloaded a few of the videos they have on that site and rehosted them. They might download a bit faster for you guys from my site. Their website is http://www.reball.se

Video 1 (http://www.tridot.net/images/stuff/RBvideo3B.wmv)
Video 2 (http://www.tridot.net/images/stuff/reball2.wmv)

They are pricey but I've shot the same 500 rounds 3 times already and once I shoot through them once or twice more they would have paid for themselves.

I use them for testing my gun, checking velocity, and for leaks and what not, and for just practicing some skills. Like Snap shooting, sweet spotting, left had shooting, ect.

In one of the videos one of the guys say you can use against people but would have to reduce the velocity to 220 FPS and they feel just like getting hit by normal paint. I have yet to shoot anyone or be shot by them so I don�t know what they feel like.

I bought my 500 round box from http://www.paintballgear.com for $150.

Reballs are incredible....My team has been looking into buying a few thousand rounds for drill and practices.

they hurt less then V-balls...but are far better than V-balls.

[Peacemaker]

I play at my field as much as possible and when they have a tourny I do as much as I can. The issue is if I have enough money.

I'm doing Playboyz Young Guns tourney this year (or so my brother says) along with NEPL Rookie or Novice division. I'm not in the PTI roster but I know Shane pretty well and apparently I might play mid for them.

[Kyonye]

Playing on PTI...I don't know if I should believe you on that....I mean i've never seen you play before but we all know Anyone could say that...anyway to prove it to me? That would awesome to play on PTI, seeing as they are one of the best in Div II...

Ill probably just end up with my own team in d3 for a little while, but I played with some dudes on PTI occasionally and got to know them pretty well, and apparently they said I'm welcome to play with them anytime.

also: Shane is a goddamn gunwhore. The kid owns every high end marker you can think of, its absolutely insane. Everytime I go there he's like "oh is that the 05 speed? I got one of those." "Is that the new proto matrix? I sold my DM4 and Im getting one of those."
I asked him how many markers he owns, I spaced out after he named 3 timmys in a row.

[thenyps.com]

Is anyone here going to play in the NYPS this summer?

www.thenyps.com

Ton's of CASH being given away....low price on entry & paint...all for the players!

Should be pretty hot!

Scott

[Mag-Mower]

spam bot?

[firecrackerNC]

I dont think so. It relates to the subject and all. As long as this isnt posted in every thread then im guessing just a normal person whos excited or is hosting this series. His name is Scott and he is the Series director, mabey.

[Peacemaker]

Looks like someone is watching google hits for any mention of tournys and reging on the forums to advertise it. Heh. Least it wasnt a bot. Or maybe it was?

[Kyonye]

yeah, i'm friends with him....two guys running the tournament are scott and jared...but i never told him about this site so he must have googled it. he probably saw the posts saying we were from new york and decided to post it. thats is also the series i'm competing in...

peacemaker, what fields exactly do you play at?

[thenyps.com]

Yeah, I'm not a bot :) I use google alerts and found the site because of a reference either to paintball or nnypaintball.com or nyps...something along those lines...

Scott

PS. Kyonye isn't really a friend of mine...I just let him think he is :) hahaha j/p Going to northside sunday?

[Kyonye]

no i'm not....it's a long drive, to expensive for me right now, and my gun is out of commision for the time being.

[Duffman]

Where is a good online place to buy paintball stuff?

[Kyonye]

www.888paintball.com (actual retail website)
www.pbnation.com (forums where you can buy from other Pballers)

I suggest the first one as a first pick..

[firecrackerNC]

I prefer www.paintballgear.com or www.specopspaintball.com for my woods stuff

[steffen]

bah.. ill *@!%ing wack you all with my new gun :evil: :D

[Ivan]

What the hell is that monster?

[Kyonye]

Looks like an Armotech...

[Giovanni]

It's a casing mod for airsoft and painball guns to look like the marine guns in alien.

[Peacemaker]

Yeah, but wtf is under the fucking thing?

[Giovanni]

Ask the guys who created the god damn thing not me.

[Ivan]

Then how do you know it's a casing mod and not gun built from the ground up? If it is indeed a case mod I would guess it's a VM 68 seeing as there seems to be no ASA in the rear of the gun, but the VM 68's used a gravity fed hopper. So that leads me to believe that this isn't just a case mod but a gun built from the ground up. Like Kyonye said, it's probably a Armotech gun. Looks like it's useing a spring loading clip style feeding system.

[Peacemaker]

Ooooooor. Maybe. JUST maybe. Its bullshit and isnt his and isnt a paintball gun.
