well, as i said earlier, i just dont understand how they work. also, i like being able to take out the bolt on a poppit and cleaning it and the barrel without de-gassing the gun. and for me, poppits are so easy to take apart and maintain because i know how they work.

[dehr]

fair enough i suppose. although the luxe is extremely easy to take care of

[sir bonusball]

are you really quitting?

[dehr]

already did. just have some **** sitting around that will probably be sitting around for a long time so ill probably just send it off to friends for the cost of shipping

[sir bonusball]

lol, well why did you?

[dehr]

many reasons. but to sum it up

1. sick of dealing with ****ty teamates. like "hey, practice is at 10. be at the field at 9:00, 9:30 at the latest so at 10 we are ready to go" and then half the team either showing up at 11, or not even showing up and when you call them hearing "oh, i forgot i had to do........." or "i just woke up so ill be late" and then they dont even show up


2. sick of trying to collect money from everyone for events/jerseys/etc


3. sick of everyone saying they want to play an event and then bailing out a month before the event (after they haven't paid also) and then someone else saying they have friends that will fill their spots for sure and those friends string you along for 2-3 weeks before you never hear from them again


4. sick of going to the field and having to deal with all the ****-lets who think because they have all matching gear they can do whatever the **** they want even if it involves breaking serious safety rules or just being a ****ing douche


5. having paintball stuff for sale and having to deal with this site and what it has become where everyone thinks they are a gun whore and will offer you $300 less than you are asking even if you are asking a reasonable price. and then dealing with people sending me ****ed up guns which when i get rid of to a friend the problems start showing up and it makes me look bad


6. tired of wasting my money on something that almost anyone else i played with didn't care that much because they were using their own money and their parents filled their bank accounts so they could buy all their **** and practice (showing up late as **** cause they have no responsibilities) and then paying for their tournament costs

7. my really good friend who i got into playing paintball with and have played with him almost all the time i played for the last 7 years pretty much quit due to other reasons (work, family stuff, etc) and if i wasn't going to be playing with him i didn't feel like playing with a bunch of flakes and worthless **** and i didn't feel like wasting my time looking for new people to play with



tl;dr
****ing flakey people, douchebags, and pretty much what 90% of the paintball world is now at this time

[sir bonusball]

mmhm. you shouldent let people who piss you off decide if you play or not. when you dont play because of them, it gives them more "power" to their douchey side. what i do when people dis-respect me is i make them feel sorry they ever did (username), but not to the point of them wanting to quit. and when people like you quit, people who i would personaly look up to for being so good and being around the game for so long, who played paintball for what it was, a sport and not to look cool (which i think happens alot). when people like you leave, it makes room for fagg*ts and *****bags to play and ruin the sport well, i think this was my advice of the day lol, and i guess what im trying to say is dont quit and just ignore those people.

[sir bonusball]

wow, i re-read it and this was pretty deep for me lol.

[dehr]

ive already quit. i havne't played since HB and the only reason i played that was because i had a group of friends who i was going to play with, and then the team fell apart but i ended up playing a pretty much throw together


but i am done with paintball, i have many other things that i would rather spend the time and money on. like my real guns, motorcycles, my car, new technology, going out with my friends who aren't flakes/****s, etc

[Shemp 5]

Dave you've got eveery reason to quit.

And the noid is definitly tight against the body. Make sure of that. Not the rammer, wsnt through that thre times

[dehr]

Then my guess would be that gasket that sits in the noid and seals it to the body. Was it leaking when you got it?

I can't speak for him but I know many people dislike spools for the reason that they can be finicky in cold weather, need more care/maintenance due to more dynamic ORINGS and, need the proper amount of lube or they will leak or have bolt stick. The closest I've had to a spool was an Ion which is an unbalanced spool valve and it was ok and actually pretty reliable, but I prefer poppets. I just like the ease of maintenance, reliability, and being able to pull my bolt pin up and run a swab through it if I have a break.

[Shemp 5]

Anyone have an 09 go nooid gasket? I need one.

As for the spool thing... I've nevr xperianced a spool being less reliable. I own two luxes. Never had a problem with either. Of them. And maintenance is simply pulling the bolt out and lubing it. I used my luxe in 20 degree weather without any bolt stick or any troubles. And I've never broken a ball in any of. My luxes. But if your really hell bnt on being. Able to run a swab through, the luxe is easier than an ego. If your iffy on spoolies, don't hate on the luxe. Hate on dye because THOSE are the markers you dnt wanna **** with

[sir bonusball]

I just realized how ****ing spoiled my team is. First time I've played with them since christmas and one got a axe pro, one got a geo 3 with his name LAZERED on it, a spire, an a crossfire graffiti tank. One got a axe, spire, and a ninja 68/45... Plus it was their parents who bought all this stuff

wish you would have asked a couple months ago when i had my ego9 as i probably had one

and i have had 3 luxes, probably 20 dm's/pm's, 15-20 shockers, some clones, droids and never had an issue with them. granted i do live in socal and am spoiled by weather

lol. and they still probably have no respect for their stuff or the game cause everything gets handed to them


i purchased a kahr pw9 today, get to pick it up on the 15th. im excited

[sir bonusball]

They do have respect for both, but it's crazy these kids that are getting $2000 worth of stuff when other people don't even have a christmas

[dehr]

I bet those kids that got their $2000 setups didn't even say thank you

[sir bonusball]

They didnt

Hey David. I like covering shipping cost for stuff

I have to deal with **** heads all the time. Parents but their **** and they ***** about stuff always. My parents bought me two guns. My tippmann and my impulse. The other 90+ guns I have bought and earned. I hate the kids who get it given to them.
