Zargon Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 thats a mighty fine looking (paintball?) marker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 4, 2003 Author Share Posted April 4, 2003 Yep. And she's running me $1500 CAN after everything. $725 for the marker itself, and the rest is going into the hopper, huge $400 N2 tank, remote air system, carrying case, and shipping from the west coast to the east coast. It's hard to get much further east from Vancouver than I am without hopping on a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Loyaltist Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I've seen it a few times and it's nice indeed. I've also seen an M60 machine gun paintball gun. Super nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taos Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 If only they had something like that a few years back when I was actively involved in paintball.......it would have made quite a bit of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Rabbit Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Do they sell paint grenades? Golly gee, that really would be swell. *(Klingon smile.)* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Nine Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 It would add a whole different aspect to the game...though, if everyone had one, rounds would be over much, much quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Why stop there? I can see a burgeoning market for total paint-ball escalation: Paint land-mines Paint bazookas Paint throwers Paint howizers Paint cruise-missles Laser-guided paint cluster bombs Oh, the possibilities are endless as the imagination of the marketing folks. Oh, by the way... here's MY new marker! Clearly not as glam or hi-tech... but come in awful handy when labeling channels on a mixing board, or ID'ing a cassette, DAT, or CD-R of the board-mix after a show and small and light enough to put in your pocket, wear behind your ear, or hang off a backstage-pass lanyard. I'd sure like to see your marker do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Originally posted by Zoom Rabbit Do they sell paint grenades? Yes. Originally posted by edlib Paint land-mines Paint bazookas Paint howitzers Been done too. There's like 7 different types of land mines. From wire trip to pressure to manual to laser set to (my personal fave) claymore. And the howitzer (I've only ever seen one), runs about $50-Large USD.

edlib Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I guess I shooda known. My biggest problem is I continue to expect more from our civilization. I'll learn someday. You left out "Paint throwers," the only one of these products I have actually used. These are available at any Home Depot under a variety of brand names, under the guise of a home-improvement product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 11, 2003 Author Share Posted April 11, 2003 Originally posted by edlib I have a bingo dabber I use for silent kills. It's stowed in a hand-made web-belt sheath, on my left side. Most fields I play at consider them paintball's version of a knife. The bottom one from ed's pic in my arsenal too: It's my dagger. Stays in yet another hand-made sheath, this time on my left arm. Quicker to get at than the dabber, but it's a smaller tip (therefore smaller mark). I've only used it in a match twice. I've also got two sidearms, both Zeus RIS (Rail Interface System), seen above. The RIS lets me add all sorts of cool stuff, like that flashlight in the pic. I've got a laser sight on one. The other's currently naked since it's only a backup if the other jams in a pinch. They're in leg holsters, btw (and no, I didn't hand-make those... Got 'em from Armotech). One on each side. I'll probably add the flashlight to the backup.

Jem Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 If I was into paintball I think I'd use a weapon that looks a bit like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Loyaltist Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Has anyone seen the the paintball assault vechicle? I think it's made by tippman, but anyway it has a big ass 360* gattling gun on the back and room for one more person. That's paintballing with style.

Jared Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 *walks into XWA for the first time in over a year* hey, its the originals! I thought you were dead!

Zoom Rabbit Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 How about nanotech pathogens that a victim would injest in aerosol form, which would quickly reproduce in his bloodstream and turn his epidermis a particular color--say, orange? Paint biological weapons. Bet no one's come up with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I've had my hands full with giant bats. They only seem to come around when I drink the good stuff, so I figure they're drawn to alcohol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
