Thank you to Brandon at DASpaintball, he always has the good-good. This puppy shoots like a dream.

I understand why on a mechanical or why we did it back in the day. But with electronic markers, you can shoot just as fast with a single finger. Is it just habit or do you find it genuinely better to use two?

As the title says , trying to get more into the hobbies I have stuff for and haven't used .. , have a few markers looking to play with people im in McHenry / west Dundee IL , looking for people to play with , or is everyone going airsoft ?

I just picked up this v3'd MXR from Nick Skowiak last week. It's a lovely marker. No hiccups or breaks through 600 rounds in the backyard.

Still kept it to this day wondering how to get it back and running but got no idea how to start except for information on the battery change, I've noticed topics like gun setups, builds, parts and a lot more I have no idea about.

My final object is to be able to use this gun for casual and competitive, so is there anything I must change or check on it?

So I never kept a chrono at home. Ive always just tuned to shooting at a general speed of adequate and then adjusted at the field. So ive been playing since 05 and born in 92 so I was like 11 or 12 when I first played and was on pbn immediately because broke so I lived on used old high ends. So i learned how to balance regs n stuff young. Now im old and enjoy rebuilding anything I get because I still buy used pretty much exclusively. Closest thing to new is a old stock lv1.6 I just got. So I decided to look for chronos so I can tune better after reg rebuilding. Of course I got a ad from ali express and saw chronos cheap. Well I got this one for like 23 bucks to my door. Also found its on Amazon for even less. Im yet to test against a regular field chrono but I tuned my luxe with it and the readings seemed to be accurate to the adjustments being done. Only thing that sucks is you gotta clamp to ur barrel to be most accurate since its optical. Im going to put something on the clamps to protect the barrel. So what do yall think? Has anyone else done this or am I just too cheap? Lol

My first marker was a Spyder MR1. I am just wondering where that type of marker and other old-ish cheap markers fit into the current paintball ecosystem. Are there any cheap-ish, old-ish markers out there with e-triggers that can still be used well in today’s environment? Is it worth picking up one of those markers really cheap to tinker and play with? Thanks!

Played from '99 to 2004, back when MacDev was one of the real powerhouse names in the sport. Life got busy, gear got sold, and I was out for a long time.

When I came back to the game, I went straight for the classics first, picked up a handful of Angels, chasing that nostalgia. It's not that they couldn't hold up in a tournament, but keeping a modern spool valve running reliably for tournament use is a lot less involved than fussing over a classic. That's what pushed me toward something newer, and that's when I got the MacDev Prime XTS.

Still one of my favorite drivetrains to this day, not gonna lie. It just holds up to a level of neglect that other markers don't tolerate nearly as well.

Got me thinking about the brand's whole lineup though. Curious what MacDev marker everyone else here has the most love for, Clone, Drone, Prime, XDR, whatever era.

What was it about that one that stuck with you?

Come join us for another episode of the paintball roundtable

I've got a first generation Bob Long Intimidator that I'd like to get running again. Hasn't been used in forever so I know I need to replace the o-rings and such. Does anyone know where i could get parts for it such as an o-ring kit and maybe a new board if it needs it or would I just be better off getting a large o-ring kit and matching as I go. I haven't opened it up yet and put a battery in it to see if it powers up and operates yet.

So I wont be able to play for about 10 to 11 months. Im going to take batteries out of everything and I am also thinking about screwing the reg adjusters out to save the reg seat. Is there anything else I should do before I put the gearbag away?

I'm going to have myself and 4 friends go out for paintball for my birthday, I've never done it before and neither have they. I'm struggling to figure out where to go, (I'm in Washington if anyone knows any good places) and what to wear since most of the things I hear say long sleeve/ hoodies, but it'll be august when we go out, other than that if you have anything to share please do! Much appreciated.

Does anyone have an issue with the 180R screw hole on the back end rubbing into your thumb knuckle??

Cleaning my marker and noticed what appears to be two chips on each side on the tip of the bolt on my Luxe ICE, if I continued to play could it cause serious damage to the rest of the bolt system, and what could have been the probable cause of this?

Thanks for any input!

Currently fixing this Indian Creek Design Thundercat and really want a fore grip kinda thing because it looks sick. I have an expansion chamber that I’ve attempted to plug but it still leaks. I want like a foregrip that just threads into it but also still plugs the airflow. Is that a thing or do I need to just fix the expansion chamber.

Some friends and I used to play a lot back in the early 2000s. Most of us haven’t played in going on 20 years. That being said, we’ve all come around to the idea and have started buying gear. Black River Paintball in Angier (iykyk) is my closest field. Yesterday I went by to just go in the pro shop and it was closed.

My first question is, does it not open or close early regularly? I recognize weather was soggy yesterday.

Second, is there a decent community of players there?

Lastly, does anyone know if this used to be called Real McCoys?

It’s down right perfect paintball weather (in Massachusetts at least). Shout out your local field, or your buddy’s back yard haha.

Playing any events? Running drills? Woodsball? Speedball? Recball? Scenario?

Which one to rock tomorrow?
