So I am gonna say I packed that damn DM7 good son. Its wrapped up in a egg crate mattress foam **** from when the wife redid the dining room chairs. snug as a bug in a rug son. Justin is getting some love this postal trip too

shipped out 9 SNES/N64 games too. Gotta love profit margins. got 2 more SNES consoles going out tomorrow aswel.

XSV crashed and burned because they haven't played PSP all year. Different format, different performance. They train for 7-man, not RaceTo, and that's where their money between events goes. That, and Troll looked to have blown up his knee again. The guns weren't the thing holding XSV back at Cup.

Glad someone is backing them- yeah Taylor's knee was a mess. Xsv has mad skill. Axes are ****ing dumb guns- I'm a man, so I need a mans gun. Not a mini piece of a gun. Xsv can and will win with splat masters. Lol

It's all based on simple formula (so called "pro" paintball), goes back even to the hyperball days of yor' . Ok, so ya got a bunch of guys, one or two or three of em, have parents / family money that is regenerative and able to be delegated, you then mix in industry connectivity, paint companies, marker companies, soft gear, hard gear, allot of ppl who think circumcision is unnecessary. Anyways ya mix those factors together, throw in a few hired guns, create a routine fitness / practice routine, and POOF! Then ya get the coach, whose usually as tainted and as jaded as a libertarian party voter, teaches some interesting moves, tells ya how to bypass the rules to win, mix it all together, bake for 3 hrs at 350 F and ya got yourself pro paintball. Remember when Dynasty won with shockers, those things weren't high end (well they technically were but i mean come on, talk about a maintenance pig). On the bright side, one day the pig men will roam free!

In any case, you're still tops in my book for shoot an angel

and your a decent gent

back in the day Carapace and I were in the same game you have been playing but with way more gats at any given time. we had to make sure not to trample eachother over the deals to make some skrilla on top.

god knows ive used my fair share of old egg crates, towels and other stuff to ship gats in to make sure they arrive as described. Only has one big ****up with a cobra A4fly. Got ganked from me in customs along with a few other gats, where it say in korean customs for a month till my troop busted em free back to the states where she took all the guns down to the local postoffice place and let em ship it, cost me 100 buvks for em just to toss em all in a box, no insureance, not padding. they were dinged to ****. So pissed but i was glad to have the girls back.

Is it really? I saw nobody doing the dive/wipe move, no blatant wiping, nobody yelling, stomping, finger pointing, or any of that like you'd see back in the day. About the worst I saw were a couple guys who continued runs after being hit (I've done that myself inadvertantly, I'd never thought I'd get hit in the body and not feel it...), and the couple of guys who did some headhunting (Bains of Damage blowing Telford's head off, for which he drew a serious penalty). I've gotten on a number of people on this very topic - what was "normal" for pro paintball 10 years ago hasn't been seen in a very long time. The really bad ones have either grown up, moved on to other pursuits, or been "removed" from the game. Think about it. When was the last time you saw Markus Nielsen play? How about Jules Foote? Chris Lasoya was a tremendous prima donna a decade ago, now he's a back player who works as part of a team. About the only player that still plays like it's 2002 is Frank Connell. The tournament side of paintball has evolved. Nobody's throwing guns when they get pissed off, nobody's coming in with major gun cheats, nobody's playing like there's nobody watching. I think it may be because now, there's people watching. Every game, every point, someone's watching. The last two years, it's only gotten to be more so because stats are now being kept. Who wants to be slated as the most penalized player?

Tournament paintball isn't what certain people would have you believe it is. Now, whether this new-ish maturity has filtered down to local events is harder to say, but the events I ref'd a couple years ago weren't filled with any cheating. In fact, the only playing on I saw were with unobvious hits, and when called on them, the players actually THANKED us for pulling them.

sledneckforlife · 10-29-2012, 05:09 PM

I can only attest to the Maine paintball league. It was run tight. Cheaters got banned. Swearing and tantrums: you guessed right, banned. Loved that the tourneys were open levels of play- you got smoked by a better team then you got better. You learned as much as you wanted to learn.

Ehh....

I'm nothing more than a common troll now....

I agree with Ben about the sport growing more mature.

Shocker_Monkey · 10-29-2012, 06:46 PM

Its been a while for me, but the last tourney I played (probably 3-4 years ago) everyone was super professional about everything. Be it waiting in line for air, not playing on, everything.

Is it going to anno?? If not I'd see if you can level it to be flush with the feedneck but leave the blob on the bottom. If anno- then yes, take it off.

Shibbykins · 10-29-2012, 08:02 PM

be careful. I would heat it up then knock it off

sledneckforlife · 10-29-2012, 08:07 PM

Ghetto gat protection: this cobra is getting shot alot so instead of me cringing every time I lay it on its side.....

And a few tree hugger snaps::

Is that JB Weld? If so, best bet is to apply copious amounts of heat before trying to do anything.

YeloSno · 10-29-2012, 08:28 PM

oh god, I love the trigger on that cobra. I didn't know PBK/FBM made their triggers for angel. Looks more FBM-esque, though. Like their blade design.

That Spine cocker looks hella ****ing familiar.... I think someone local owned that.

I have two of those triggers-

TC Extreme paintball produced 10 of the shark finned back cockers-this is the only one of that run that did not get ebladed. It was sent to shocktech where Danny love replaced the internals and tuned it to rack kills. This thing flat out sings.

Have you seen the video in my barrel cam thread of the cobra shooting?? I'm slow as ****ing molasses but I got it to walk a lil.
