It's "safer" - there's less risk of breaking a guide rod, etc. if you trip while using this monster...theoretically. In reality everything on it breaks

[azhector]

Yea, I don't see that being "safer" its pretty hard to completely mess up the rods where underneath the barrel, you are only removing maybe an inch or 2 for you to hit if your gun hits the ground hard

Thats really cool that you do all of that for your kids, reminds me of when my dad first got me a nice set up, it was only a tippman but it was the world to me when i was 13 lol.

wtf is twin turbo on a paintball marker, a pump maker at that?
all it needs is a pic of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker on it then i will buy 15 of them.

They have to help maintain relations with sponsors for their racing and such, as it costs about $200k a year for both of them to remain competitive in karting.

What series and where do you race at? I have raced all over for many different teams. Might know some of the same people.

Yeah, I'm really busy most of time, with businesses, kids, servicing gf, so don't get on here as much as most of you. Everyone yells at me all the time b/c I only check my facebook like once a week at best!

Was out with my kids and girlfriend last week, stopped into one of the local paintball stores- just to look at picking up a GEO2 and a new pair of gloves. I should have know better. My 10 yr old daughter spotted a Nano50 on the wall and was checking it out with much enthusiasm. She started up a pitch on how it is the perfect size for her, and was pleading for me to buy it. I started telling her some of the drawbacks of .50 cal, does not shoot as far, etc., but she would hear none of it, reminded me that she does most of her evil work at closer ranges anyway. I asked her if she had $750 to buy it. She replied she would sell her PM9 and her silver Mini to pay for it if that is what it came to. I broke down and told her I would get it for her. Then my son and gf complained- he said I had already promised him a new ETEK, and she was drooling over a blue/purple EGO. So we walked out with 4 cases of .68 Evil, 2 cases of GI .50 paint, the Nano50 a Kingman Rapid50 loader and Crossfire SS 45/4500 to go with it for my daughter, urban digi-camo ETEK AM for my son, a thistle EGO SLS for my gf, Eclipse Gauntlet gloves, white/black Sly Profit goggles, deposit on a midnight GEO2 and $4500 less in my checking account for me.

So we went out to a local field this past weekend, and as I watched my daughter rip around the fields, I could tell how comfortable she was with her new marker. She is a bit small for her age, and yes indeed it did fit her just right, nice and light and compact. She was thrilled with it, the balls seemed to break well on her targets, she did not have even one single break in the gun all day, and eliminated more than her share of opponents. With her up close and personal style of play, the Nano worked great for her. I was playing against her several times through the day, and she shot me out a couple times. I will have to attest that I felt no difference in getting hit with the .50 as compared to .68, but after playing for 25 years I am fairly insusceptible to any pain from hits anyway. I tried the Nano myself for a bit, but did not like it, the ballistic properties of it were just inferior compared to .68. The thing was just way too tiny for my liking as well, did not fit me or feel right to me. Not a grown mans marker in my opinion.

So even though I have been completely opposed to the whole .50 cal format, I will now have to admit that it does have its place in paintball. Will I use it personally? No way. But watching how thrilled my daughter is with her new Nano I am glad that the format is here, and hope it is around long enough for my 7 yr old daughter to use it when she is old enough to play.

feel ba fir yer

She pays you $200,000 a year in child support, and you own a business as well?

Half of me wants to kiss the judge that finally tossed the gender bias crap and awarded significant child support to a male custodial parent, the other half of me wants to know what $1k/week translates to for a kid.
