So Matt and I were talking tonight, and we decided that we need to do a BRN paintball day. Anybody else interested.

Pimpit

Not sure, just an idea.

Ryan@IdahoSportBikes

I'd be down!

I'm pretty sure I got a couple masks and guns in the attic. Haven't pulled them out in years. Used to play a lot out in the woods, was fun.

Back Of The Pack

Good spot by my house under the bridge towards lucky peak people shoot it up under there all the time.

KLOVE

i would for sure be down for this

I always wanted to get into it but never could afford my dream gun. http://www.pb4less.com/Marker-Packag...-p7257222.html Just could not justify spending over $200 on a paintball gun.

Was screwing around and found this. I dont know if paintballers would know what to do when this thing was rattling at them.

damn pimpit...I'd love to take head shots at you with my paintball gun

I would like to play some ball again if people wanted to go play some speedball. I dont do the woods ball stuff, too slow paced and boring. It has been a long time since I have played. I used to play lots of tourney ball when I was in middle school and highschool (painballing is where my name came from). It was really cool traveling all over the country just to shoot people. lol.

I had to quit playing because I could no longer afford it. For years I went through at least 2 guns per year at about $3500 each, plus the $2000+ per month for practice paint alone. At least the sponsors would pick up the tab for the tournament stuff. High level paintball tournaments are hella expensive to enter (sometimes over $20K per team!) not to mention the travel expenses to go with it.

I still have LOTS of gear, but no gun/nitrogen tank any more though. I sold my last gun and bought a 4 wheeler with the money from it a few years ago. Someday when I have money to burn I will have to buy me whatever the new latest and greatest electropneumatic marker there is and start playing speedball and tournaments again. It is SOOOO much adrenaline filled fun! I love shooting people. lol

It sounds like you need to rethink your education choice.... maybe try out for Nampa/Caldwell PD, or even Garden City PD, or if all else fails Marines/Army

hellfire24

we could be brothers I did the same thing in jr. high and high school.. a little more low budget but i kept my bushmaster going for a good period of time. still got have a autococker masks and tanks and about 3000 rounds setting in my closet from two weeks ago.. i am so down.. speed ball, woods ball, lol house ball "dont ask" i play it all

IDAHOBALLER

No thanks, I am not too big of a fan of da popo. I will NEVER be one!

IDAHOBALLER

Yeah, I have had lots of guns in my day. One of the first guns I got was a bushmaster with the vision. It was a great gun until I more or less out grew it. I have had a few different Angels, Autocockers both mechanical and Eblade, automag, emag, a bunch of bob long intimidators, impulses, race blade cockers, matrix's, etc... I have had pretty much every top level gun that was available at that time. I am actually a qualified airsmith for Intimidators, autocockers, angels, and matrix's. BUT, I havnt even looked at a paintball magazine in years so I dont even know what the current bad azz guns are now days. I have to distance myself from it or else I WILL end up spending lots of money on it again. Paintball is like crack to me. I just love it and once I get a taste of it I just cant quit! lol Talking about this has got me all itchy and figity for some reason. haha

I really miss playing, but I really dont miss the drama. For some reason the male ego doesnt like to get shot by another male ego... go figure. haha. I do miss practicing with some of the best ballers in the world at the best paintball facilities in America. I have played with/against many pro and semi pro people from some teams you may heard of such as dynasty, naughty dogs, mommas boys, bad company, evil factory team, etc... NPPL and PSP events were the chit man! Ah the good ol' days.

A few of my buddies have been trying to talk me into getting back into it, and man is it ever tempting. If I only had like $3K to get myself another gun, tank, and hopper...

HaVocX

Hells yeah...Only done this a couple times, but it rocked! I would be totally down to do this...dont have a marker or chit tho......

i play for the bsu paintball club. we just went to vegas last august i believe, to play in the world championships. we are going to huntington beach this april to play too. I can get us all a group discount at the local field here in boise. Its called True Paintball. Ive been playing tournament speedball for about 3 years now. i shoot a '07 ego.
im warning everyone that has never been....once you play, you're hooked!

IDAHOBALLER

Sure they would know what to do. You would hide in your bunker until he runs out and while he is reloading you run up and cap his azz. I wonder how many rounds per second it is actually firing? Do you know?

To me it didnt really sound all that fast. I have had guns the would shoot over 20bps all day long in hot or cold without breaking a single ball inside the gun. Thefastest gun I ever had was a Bob Long Lasoya edition Intimidator that was totally tricked to the max (aftermarket wise) with a custom air solenoid that I ported myself, custom bolt porting that I did, my own custom set up regulators, and electronics that I programmed myself via my computer (was set up a little bit on the illegal side, as far as tournament rules apply). It would shoot 24-26bps often, and was always over 18-20 if you really got on it. The gun operated on only about 80psi and it only needed like 150psi of blowout to propel a ball at 300fps. And all of the guns that I have had were electronically controlled "semi-auto" markers. Walk the trigger and she will spit lots of paint at you. It is almost like shooting a rope at someone. lol

steven32

thats my favorite part. I can average about 18 ball per second on semi.

IDAHOBALLER

I had no idea that BSU had a paintball club. That is awesome. I have played lots of really awesome tournaments in vegas, and I did two nppl events in huntington beach ca that were pretty fun. It was pretty cool to actually play on the beach!

I used to work at that paintball place back before it was known as true paintball. Back then it was called splat. I have not been there since the name and ownership has changed. What kindof discounts are we talking about? And I hope you say cheap cases of paint because I would need at least 2 cases each time I played to feed my guns.

The price of paint is what forced me to quit before. The good stuff is rediculously expensive. I could barely afford it back then when I was playing at least 3 times a week and at least two tournaments per month, and that was with a HUGE (like less than half price) on paint because of my sponsorships.

steven32

well there is a group rate, i cant remember what it is, and you can get decent paint for around $35 a case. I would imagine we would only need like one case, due to the fact that not everyone is playing speedball, and prolly doesnt have a gun setup that costs more than $1000. so it would be pretty mellow.

hellfire24

I just bought a case of marballizer 2000 rnds for 75.00 tournament paint from true paintball.. I dont have time to mess with cheap paint breaking in my marker.. I never got super crazy with buying high end markers.. if it shot straight and had a good trigger tap i was good.. i never play back though my happy ass is always playing forward.. maybe we should just throw a team of buddies together and have our own fun cause like idahoballer said i dont miss the drama at all!!

Exitwounds

There's a lot of balls flying around in this thread. No homo.

katnip

No female participation totally makes it homo...continue with the sausage, ball flying fest...

steven32

well if you girls weren't to scared to go...

IDAHOBALLER

I really like the marballizer. High end paint is definately the way to go imo. The paint is way more consistent in size and doesnt brake too often. It makes for a WAY more accurate gun when the paint is consistent in diameter and is actually round and you can match it perfectly with the correct size barrel (the internal diameter of the barrel back).

Just because your gun can spray lots of paint doesnt mean that you dont have to worry about being accurate. The high end markers are more accurate and are way easier on the paintballs when set up right. In speedball you need to be able to rail it when you need to and not break paint and also be able to shoot good accurate pop shots. In my experience the difference between the pros and everybody else is when the pro pops out he shows a very little of himself and shoots quickly and dead accurate from ball 1. When the people below pro/semi-pro/pro-am level guys pop out they tend to shoot alot more rounds per burst because they lack in the pop shot accuracy department and end up more or less aiming with the rope of paint that they are throwing.

Anyways, I guess I have just been too spoiled with the really nice stuff. Once you get used to it, you dont want to play with anything less in performance. But I would also have to pick up another nice pump gun and a nice mechanical semi-auto backup gun too. I love playing speedball with the pump guns! They force you to be good at pop shots.

I am definately going to have to start saving my pennies and work towards getting myself something to shoot. I have tons of gear still, everything except a gun, air tank, and a halo. I have been thinking about building a really nice mechanical autococker for quite some time that would end up being the back up gun once I was able to afford another electropneumatic gun like I would want. I have all the parts to do a pretty much top of the line mechanical cocker except for a body and barrels.

Damn you guys have got me wanting to spend some money. I told you this paintball stuff is like crack to me...gettin itchy..

hellfire24

lol i was just looking at dye markers to see what they are rolling with now a days.. i really dont want to fork out more that 1000$ for a new marker plus some new gear since all mine is a little used.. And katnip i had some girls playing at true paintball a few weeks back but i felt bad after i lite some poor girl up.. once there gear is on its like i am in the zone and i dont think twice yeah she cried.. 5 hits straight up her back after i falnked the team..
