John's guns

**John** · 10-30-2008, 10:45 AM

I get asked a lot what type of gun I play with or what I would recommend. Here's a quick video going through some of the guns I currently own and play with. There's a variety of types of markers in here because I don't just play one format, so all of these guns might not be for you. However, these are all guns I like, I shoot and I appreciate.

I made it through World Cup without buying a new gun, but I'm not sure I'll make it through Christmas.

Because of your hand movements, I found it highly entertaining to mute the video and pretend you were freestyle rapping.

Yeah I know. It's one of the cool guns I've owned that I didn't sell off when I was done playing tournaments with it. I played with it all on Sunday at EMR after you'd gone home.

Probably the best way to watch it.

Extra points for sure if you use our video software to just make a new vid with a rap dubbed over.

A local player wanted it to use it as his primary gun so I sold it to him. I wasn't playing with it very much and he really wanted it. I just milled it and anodized it mostly to show what that gun should have been like without the huge grip and all the extra metal on the body.

We are talking about this project gun. It was the proto-type Evil shocker:

Of course or I wouldn't have done it. I traveled quite a few places around the world and I had a great time during the 10 years I spent touring. I actually miss it. If you aren't having fun playing paintball, then you need to find a different style to play. People like to pigeonhole themselves and play just one type, but why do that? Play what you enjoy playing.

If you had sound you'd know it was a sweet single trigger Ion with a GC body kit.

Element Paintball · 10-30-2008, 12:45 PM

single trigger frame off of the SP1 or something new?

**John** · 10-30-2008, 12:45 PM

Something ghetto. But still cool.

Yea, I figured that much...seems like you gotta move to Cali or something to get recognized as a player..not too much going on up here in the Northeast/Massachusetts area..nice gats though

phoenixsun · 10-30-2008, 01:35 PM

My old school 'first of' (vert shocker, note the extrusion is for RF shocker) would beat down your 'first of'...
Of course, I don't think they are in the same weight class... 4.2 lbs plus the 68cuin CO2 tank

I lived in Tennessee when I went Pro. My team practiced 8 hours away. If you want it bad enough, you can make it happen.

Is that the same one Andy played Chicago with that year? I thought that was the first vert feed shocker, but I didn't think it had a jewel. If you still have it, I'll play you anytime. No Turbo though. Plus, mine is better because I didn't have to work for Adam and Billy to get mine.
