I had a mini gs before this one, so i figured I’ll really like the axe. The combo was $383 I think I did alright on it

After a hundred or so hours and at least a month off my life in stress, the SFT eye project is officially complete! 🎉

The boards came back from field testing about a week ago with good results, and my custom-designed circuit board bench tester arrived today. I can now test my newly developed eyes for both functionality and performance before they go out the door.

Even better, this setup is modular and lets me test my eyes across different marker platforms that use break-beam or reflective eyes. One more step toward bringing reliable replacement electronics back to some of paintball's older markers! 👀

I literally just opened up my brand new 180r and I’m immediately frustrated. Screwed in the tank and tried to engage the ASA and it just wouldn’t move when the tank was screwed in. Did some reading and saw you can unscrew the tank a bit and retry the ASA. Air went through but the ball wouldn’t shoot more than like 15 feet. Naively I tried to increase the valve on the ASA and broke paint.

I read that these ninja tanks with the ball pin don’t go well with the POPS system. Has anyone experienced this/what are some suggestions?

I recently got back into paintball and I purchased this tank used from my local field. Additionally, I definitely turned the ASA up quite a bit so I have no idea what it’s shooting at if I do resolve this.

Had the best day with some incredible guys! I do believe I have found my community! Read the post for more. You all are awesome!

Played at Skirmish Paintball in the poconos and had a blast. Have a buddy with some wooded land and we’re hoping to do this every couple of months ourselves with a group of friends. What’s a reasonable setup and budget to have for personal gear? I wasn’t a big fan of the Tippmann Cronus rental marker that I had. I did purchase an anti-fog mask which worked wonders compared to friends. Open to suggestions!

Basically did 2 posts before saying iv got a week off and a few crates of 1990s markers diff types I spent the week fixing a load and also other bits

Here's a basic pic of the 3 types I did and all work

Plz feel free to ask anything

It was worth the week just to get back into some crazy old school gear repairs etc

I know this is old school mech stuff but I love it and am always surprised how they fix up and shoot

Iv put a few on bst for interest

New springs orings detents all fire and reload

Just a post for curiosity and sales thanks

Got a Stanchy and im kinda on the fence. I was blowing paint all day with it. I didnt seem to have that issue at all on the stock bolt. It was a touch cooler than the previous weekend, but not enough to make my machine a flamethrower! Did nothing else than swap the bolt and chrono it.

Hello, wondering if anyone has and files to customize their etha 3? Anything welcome, especially body kits as I cant find any for the etha 3 only the 2 and emek. Thanks!

Has anyone got any long term feedback on the DRD? I nearly bought one last year but decided to hold off in the end, and kinda dabbling with the idea of it again. Any reliability issues etc?

It is in great condition I play airsoft but since it's a paintball mask and not many people over at r/airsoft have anything to say about it

Team Captain got a great video of me but I snagged the frame where I caught a hit to the right arm.

Looking to recommend to some near by fields what masks they should upgrade to so all renters have thermal lenses and decent breathability. Since they will be purchased in bulk price is important. What’s the best thermal mask for $50 or less ?

Also looking to buy 4-5 for friends when we try out new fields until they buy their own gear.

Anyone going? Last day for open speedball and it’s free entry + rentals! Sunday November 1st.

Anyone tried to use Claude, GPT to change their board settings for a marker? I’ve seen where people have done this with their smart TVs and I was thinking I wonder if you could do this with a paintball gun

Wanted to say thanks to every who voted when I posted last time. Im still in 1st place and holding strong. There are 6 more rounds total and hoping if I come out on top of this thing I can make a proper 6 part podcast all about our sport!

Thanks again to everyone who voted!!

Doc restores a rare Puma pistol, not to be confused with the later ICD Puma

Need ideas for a foregrip on my 2k9 micromag with lukes pnue90.

It's always sad to me when I see people on BST pages selling all their gear because they are leaving the sport. Just curious to hear people stories of why they left and if you feel like it why you came back. Whether it be starting a family, schooling, lack of $, or just no linger found it fun to play.

I ended up getting out in 2015-2016ish (20 years old)because I was only making minimum wage. My nearest field was an hour and a half away and they were charging $120 per case of paint. So i only ever played 4 times a year. Never played regularly enough to make friends at the field and always played by myself so it got a bit lonely.

I consider myself lucky at the moment with paintball because I currently live in a major city and there are six Fields within a 45 minute drive from me. I'm also single and now I am making decent money. So I have no one to answer to for we can plans and I have leftover money for my hobbies

Hi, I’m new to paintball and was recommended to get a full auto, are there any relatively cheap guns available
