I'd like to see an acid wash accenting the hills and valleys on the rear half milling. If I can convince the wife, I just might have to order one up for myself.

Splash is one of those things that looks better in person. On the Internet you are looking at a flat image so you lose the depth of the milling and the complex anno hides it more.

Very true! Though I still think there is some validity to losing mill cut clarity with more "distraction" on the gun. I do really like a wild anno though so don't take me as a post flamer.

If you never played paintball and then saw some BL guns you would swear he is paying some type of hommage to HR Giger with the milling... Not a bad thing IMO. Kinda evil organic.

You talking about with the dramatic ribbing effect? It's pretty true. While most guns go for the "streamline" look of a luxe, GT and to an extent the DM line. Bob tends towards almost skeletal look that giger went for.

Maybe the splash ano is a good option for a person who likes the marker but is not thrilled with the milling.

Ok just heard an efficiency claim from HB of 16 pods off a 68 with 2k left....confirmation? Even from a fanboy, that seems a bit exaggerated.

Paintball News Rules |
- No Upping threads. If you have something to say, please do, but don't post in the thread just to take it to the top of the forum.
- Do not post "1st post", "1st", "First post" or anything similar (or with any other number) at any point in a thread, even if you post a comment too. It is really annoying and it will result in a ban.
- If you don't like something, say why instead of just calling it ugly, lame, gay or any other name. If it is old, simply post a link or report the post with a link to the older News thread.
- Please don't post links for places to buy items. That encourages stores, sponsored players and other people to do it and spam the site.
If you have questions, please post them in the Talk to Mods/Admins forum.
