You would love to go to the d-day scenario they have every year. 1000's of people get together.
Yes the DM5 is out and you can pick it up at paintballgear.com Yea the milling on the DM4 and DM5 is iffy but the gun rarely breaks paint and I play nppl so I need that feature in a gun lol.
Im thinking of buying a boblong but i dont know about that. His guns are long.

Eh. Not really into Paintball. Airsoft is my cup of tea. Hoping to get an M-14 @ 400 FPS with an Aimpoint.

I have the info in one of my paintball magazines. I think its in michigan somewhere. Anyway. There are two teams. Allies and Axis.dart321 said:
Yes, there are actually tanks(trucks with paintball turrets), and yes there are actually real helicopters (to simulate ww2 aircraft, they can shoot at you, youre not aloud to shoot at them) The americans have divisions. (tank busters, commandos, normal infantry, snipers).
So they americans start out in huge rectangles with doors (to simulate landing craft) When those doors open up boy do those allies get pelted with paintballs, its quite funny. But this thing goes on for days. Its well organized and a shitload of money goes into it.

I shoot people.
Actually, I don't like paintball. I went to Paintball USA with my friends once and some of the hardcore guys ambushed us. I went down and he shot me on the top of my head. There was paint everywhere. I suck at paintball. I guess all of my military training on games doesn't necessarily translate into real world skill. It doesn't make sense though...I mean I couldn't use an aimbot and I didn't have foliage hacks or flying cheats. (just kidding, I don't hack)

A5 /14" Ceramic and Palmer's Stabilizer. 10,000 rounds and still ticking, don't like Tippmann? Sue me.
looks cooler tho when u see actual gun type replicas..
i have a spyder TL+. super fun gun but i dont go nearly enough to own one...
i wont sell it tho cuz its hilarious to use, even if ur not playin at a course..
my buddy let me shoot him from bout 25 feet away as many times as i wanted. (at a party with lots of ppl there)
i gave him coveralls , my mask, my chest armor for dirtbiking and a red snow shovel to defend himself from the paint...
was good times..

Welts work just as well as paint. Not to meantion the player base for airsoft is a little differant. If you cheat, you're simply not invited back, ever. It's that simple.

Obviously, you've never played a 'high class' Airsoft game. Due to their size and velocity? Size, AND weight, yes. Airsoft bb's are both smaller and lighter. Velocity? No. Velocity at a distance? Still, no. Airsoft bb's are much more realistic in terms of trajectory, and speed of real bullets. (Still, nowhere near though in terms of kinetics, paintballs win that one.)
Tab said:
No, 400 isn't fast. Most fields allow up to 600 for snipers. 550 for AEG's (Automatics) You do not know pain until some ass-hat gets a (rather easy) hit at 100 feet on your neck from a concealed location with a 600FPS APS2 or L96. It will bleed.
*Edit*
I don't want to turn this into an airsoft thread. Or an Airsoft vs. Paintball thread. Even though I kind of pushed it there. My bad. If someone wishes to keep talking about airsoft, I think we should start a thread on it. Or even Airsoft vs. P-ball. Those are hella fun.

You dont want an eggy on a 05 speed. You will chop like mad, trust me. Buy a halo, the halo loader is forcefed, you will always have a ball in the chamber. Just buy some better detents for your angel once you get it. Because if you use stalk detends, the halo will force the ball past them.

I've got over a grand's worth of paintball equipment. I used to play tourny ball, but I haven't played now for over a year. Cars, college, and the opposite sex got in the way.
I'd like to get back into it someday though.

Yeah, I've heard that halo's have problems with angels. In fact, just about everyone I know who owns a Halo has had problems with it. That's why I was leaning towards the eggy (I know that has it's share of faults too), but I'll see what happens.

Ahh I thought it might have been that, but I wasn't going to say incase I was wrong and I couldn't edit my post in time to hide my wrongnessSHIPPI said:Eggy = a hopper, thing that goes on top of the gun and feeds the paintballs in
And I'm torn between a halo and an egg, dunnoes yet.. I might go for a Halo
Skirmish, USA
In the poconos, Pennsylvania has a huge annual D-Day paintball event. 2711 people were at the last one in 2004. I was there, it was terrific.

it's a little expensive, but well worth it.
