Got to play paintball today, had a blast. Eyes went down on the G6r half way through the day... couldnt didnt have the correct size phillips on me to get them out. Wish I would have taken a picture of the eyes when I got home to show you guys... there was so much dirt in my gun and on the eyes I've never seen anything like it. I also don't quite understand it since it wasnt muddy or anything, and I know how to dive properly so no core samples for me.
Either way, fun day. Much needed stress relief

Playing in a really dusty environment? Either that or your pods/paint where dirty. Only thing I could think of. Back home in Bakersfield we have that problem a lot. I have thought about getting a Vic instead of a g6r because of how much dirt and debri got into my marker. I pretty much had to break my gun down completely after each day of play and clean it thoroughly.
My guess would be pods/paint... but its just strange how much dirt was in there. Obviously there has to be an explanation for it so I'm just going with that.

I use a paint roller as well, but after a full day of speedball on dirt my gun is pretty well coated with dirt. I usually have to clean my eyes, hopper, and run a swab down the breech by lunch. I wish we had a nice grass or turf field.
aside from putting a fresh "windshield" (i think is the term) nothing else really.
my first bike, so im going to make any mistakes here, and go from there.
so far for my 2nd time on an actual machine, i get to 2nd gear up and down my street, and i only stall out when slowing down cause i instinctively pull the clutch trying to brake, as it it magically turned into a 3rd brake.
I'm already regretting my purchase. 200 kb/sec download of 16 ****ing gigabytes means this stupid thing is going to be downloading until like 2 am. Steam goes 1.5 mb/sec. Yeah EA this is why people don't use your ****ty steam knock-off. God forbid you actually spend the money to make your mandatory service competitive.
**** EA. It's not even the big things that piss me off about them (because I don't buy their games...usually) it's these little things that just show how little they care about being a good company.

i love it.
Careful with the front brake, hydro brakes are very easy to lock up. Use the foot brake and downshift.
