Hey guys I'm Cam located in Iowa. I currently turned 17 and am looking to get into paintball. I've saved up a decent amount of money and am looking at my first gun. I'm either going to get the usual A-5 or I got a great deal on an 09 PROTO PMR which is really tempting me. If anyone has any opinions please PM me!

I play football, basketball, and tennis. As well as I row on the Quad City Rowing team going to nationals soon!

In my free time I'm a huge road/mountain biker and I also go backpacking a few times a year.

Lastly I love shooting real steel guns and recently added a Ruger .357 to my collection and am pumped to shoot it!

Triples Nines · 06-09-2009, 06:12 PM

Hello everyone, my name is Nic, I have decided to give paintball a try, after being a airsoft enthusiast. I just got tired of spending so much on my gun and not as much playing the sport. I thought I would feel better about paying $100 on paintballs than maintenance on my gun, so here I am.

My username is Triples Nines, an anagram for Silent Sniper, a position I hope to fill. I have my eyes right now on a Tippman X7, and later want to add a much longer barrel, scope, stock, and whatever else I need to make one bulls eye hitting gun.

Currently I have a cheap Triton marker, it was a kit, so I got the things I needed to start, as well as an extra tank.

I live on the east coast, and there's only a few paintball places I know about, but my friends get together every now and then and we usually get a large turnout, so at least I know there will be occasional local matches. I don't know what backyard matches are thought of here, in airsoft they are frowned upon because they are associated with gangtas running around the streets with no face protection, which gives airsoft a bad rep. No offense to any gangtas

The local matches are not like this. the usual host has a large tract of land far from anyone else, any neighbors usually have someone playing in it so its not like thay wouldn't know about it, and they do play it safe.

So thats me, hello everyone and expect lots of questions, because I am very new to the world of paintball.

Hi I am Bryce. I have played since about 17 off and on with my older brothers and such. I started with a brass eagle then moved into another gun with I cant remember but sold to my older brother. then to a tippman 98 custom loved but not my kinda gun. My current gun I bought is an Invert Mini. So far so good, havent really heard anthing good but mine still shoots. I do have one question though as i had a bit of a dry spell and am trying to setup my mini for me now. As i am planning to play more often as funds have increased

When I was playing I had the gun in PSP ramping and when i got the gun ramping after about 2 seconds in ramping mode the balls began to go about 50 before falling and I doubt would have had enough velocity to break even if they had reached the guy. Not sure what to even check as i have never dabbled with my guns before. I do run HPA like everyone does i think. My tank was over 1500psi and it happened on a consistent basis. amybe sum1 has run into this before or it is maybe the start of my mini breaking down not sure. Im not sure if this matters but i did take my gun apart and lube all the orings before going out and playing also.
