Stairway, how is that Vlocity working out? My Halo is pretty beat up, (thats why I didnt take a pic of it, lol) looking to get a new hopper. Saw some Halos w/ 9v mod, might pick one of those up.

Saw some Halos w/ 9v mod, might pick one of those up. Dude I personally love this thing. I had a lot of problems with my Halo (the eyes kept getting messed up) and then it finally just broke down. This thing is fast, pretty quiet and way eaiser to take apart and clean then Halos or Reloaders. I have heard that some people are having battery life problems, but mine is pretty damn efficent, but that could be because I am only using it on Modes 1 and 2. It looks really tall and ugly but its started to grow on me and its only maybe a quarter inch taller then my halo. Its front profile is really nice too, the two times I have played with it I havent gotten any hopper hits from the front. ------------- |

My fkin gun developed an air problem today at the field, and I have absolutely no idea how to fix it. It is constantly leaking air from the rear of the bolt assembly. Think I might have to send it to Dye and have their techs look at it. Even with the air problem I was still ripping faces today, had to refill my 68/45 tank after every game though, lol.

That sucks man, hopefully Dyes tech service is better then SPs. I played with my friends PM6 yesterday for a few games and I loved the thing. I may consider getting one of those instead now since its so much cheaper then the DM6 and Hyrbrid Shocker. ------------- |

I know a sport where teamwork, agility and reflexs are keys to wining is definatlly not a real sport like Football. Give me a break humping some other guy in wrestling is definatlly much more of a mans sport. In 10 years Paintball will be bigger then wrestling and track and will be a mainstream sport like football, baseball and basketball. Its already the 3rd largest extreme sport (right ahead of snowboarding, BMX and Surfing). ------------- |

Paintball is indeed catching on. ESPN is picking up the tournaments from across the country now. Give it a few years and it will be a lot more mainstream. Side note for Stairway mainly... I think I got my gun fixed. The DM5 has a Low Pressure Regulator on the back of the gun, right below the bolt assembly, and I set that all the way down, then set my Hyper2 reg all the way down, cranked up my LPR to 75psi, and cranked up the velocity on the Hyper2 about 5 full turns w/ the allen wrench. No more air leak, and it seems to be shooting fine. Can't really tell how much FPS I'm shooting since I don't have a chrono. Most likely shooting pretty hot right now though.  There is a local paintball store here, I'm gona give them a call tomorrow and ask if they have any techs that can check out my DM5. See if they can give it the "once over" for me. ------------- |

Anyone can shoot a gun, i've not seen one paintball match that required agility... I can sit and hide behind a bail of hay for 5 minutes pretty easily. The reflexes consist of what? Poping up and shooting at a large target.... I'm not trying to start a fight, it's more of my opinion, i'm sure you feel that way about the sports I mentioned. |

I've done both and wrestling is the more difficult, by far. Football on the other hand.... ------------- -bullet buffer-

Front players in paintball have to be able to move up the field and
fast paces while being aware of everything around them. All
players have to be able to bump from bunker to bunker which includes
speed and agility. I play front for my team and I run 5 miles
everyday 3 times a week. Paintballers are athletes but I doubt
either of you have played at tournament level, you probably went out
with some friends and played in the woods. Thats not the true
sport of paintball, tournament speedball is a fast pace sport with
teamwork, stradgey, and physical fitness. Besides paintball I play many other sports including football, baseball and basketball. I have played these sports much longer then Paintball yet I feel that paintball is harder then them all. Paintball is not just being lucky and shooting people when there heads are popped out, its being able to build skill in areas like bunkering, snapshooting, and laneing. Its about teamwork and how well your back players can cover the front so they can advance up the field. I dont expect either of you guys to understand this because you probably dont play tourney paintball and just have played some rec woodsball in your life. Paintball also requires alot of physical skill, I have been knocked out during a game for 2 mins which has never happend in football or anyother sport, it also requires physical training; I lift weights 5 times a week and have do cardio 3 times a week. I cant comment on the wrestling thing since I have never been into it, but my teamate who wrestles says that its alot harder for him to condition for paintball then it is for wrestling. I dont want to start a flamewar but I hate when people who really dont know anything about paintball start talking sh*t about it. ------------- |

And trying to discredit us by saying we've never played tourney level paintball is a double edged sword... Have you ever been in a tourney level wrestling match? Don't get me wrong, paintball is fun, and it does require athleticism, but it is certainly not the most demanding sport out there.. ------------- -bullet buffer-

Don't get me wrong, paintball is fun, and it does require athleticism, but it is certainly not the most demanding sport out there.. Im not trying to discredit you guys by saying that, but there is so much of a difference between what most play called rec (ussually woodsball) and tourney speedball. Im sorry for being out of line earlier when I accused you two of not knowing what was going on, but it pisses me off when paintball is discredited as a competive sport and passed off as simple no skill game. Im not saying either of you guys said that kinda stuff (except MadDawg saying paintball wasnt a "mans sport"), but you were leaning in that direction. I dont want this to become a Football vs Paintball thread because I love both these sports. I think we should just drop this argument and just go back to what the thread was inteded for. I found this article from the L.A Times about Paintball. The article was written after a guy who had no paintball experiance spent time with one of the top teams in the world San Diego Dynasty. There was paragraph from the article that I think really reflects what paintball is: Originally posted by Alex French I submit that paintball is a beautiful and complicated sport, one that requires body control, hand-eye coordination, quickness and speed, sheer toughness and that odd mix of patience and abandon that we call courage. It requires the simultaneous engagement of all the senses and an acute awareness of one's location in space in relation to other moving bodies. It requires one to conduct the complicated calculus of risk and reward during moments of duress. -Alex French L.A Times ------------- |

People in baseball and Football break bones and have complete blackouts....the only time i can see you getting injured in paintball is taking a shot straight to the face without a mask or tripping while trying to run behind the "Dorito". If people play it...it is a sport. Now lets hug and be friends. -Jack |

And accutally when I was knocked out I took two shots to the back of the neck from a foot away (got bunkered in the first notch of the snake). ------------- |

In my opinion wrestling is by far the most demanding cardio and mentally demanding sport I have ever seen or played. Three minute matches can make you wanna puke because you are putting so much effort into just trying to get the better position. No one can f**k up the match exept you. Now I have been at turny level at wrestling (States 03) and I know it's demands, paintball no I don't. Maybe there is somthing hiding in there. Football is also in my opinion the most physically demanding sport. If you did not lift and run everyday over your summer you could forget starting and being competitive. Heh, I have had concusions before from running down the field full speed and tackling someone that was full speed as well. The trainers usually pat ya on the back till you are coherent then tell you to go back out there. Either way i'll drop this subject now because there is no need to make it a large flame fest. Maybe one day ill give turny caliber paintball a try to see it from your perspective. |
Not so fun seeing double for a while.
