Paintball Thread !

I'll only play Airsoft at a field that only allows rentals. A friend had to have surgery to remove a pelt from his hand when some jackass tricked up his gas gun too far. He still can't move his ring finger as well as he could before the incident.

I had a Tippman Prolite that I bought used from a field and fixed as a teenager. I milled the insides down an extra three millimeters and applied a coat of special epoxy that is frictionless when dry. Did the same thing to a bolt I bought, installed a three valve system to allow for a high pressure tank, removed some unnecessary metal to make it lighter and altered a hopper so the paintball weight was balanced above your wrist.

Anyway, stopped playing after most of my paintball teammates moved away for the military and sold the gun for more than three times what I put into it. The guy lives in NJ and I use to see it in tournament pictures a few years after but not anymore.

I miss my baby. I'll rummage for photos in my parent's basement next time I'm over.

Also, I like air soft too, couldn't get into it because NO ONE plays air soft in PA. Skirmish got me hooked on paintball, for life yo.

WHAAAAAT?!?! Airsoft is insane where I play in PA. Lots of people usually come out for it, although I haven't played in over a year.

Well it's been I while since I've played paintball and felt it so its probably why i think it hurt more. Just cant recall the pain. We usually played in the winter time as that's when most of my friends and myself weren't busy with every day life. So much fun, but don't have the time to play or want to sink the money into it lol.

Yeah, there is no physical way an air soft pellet could hurt more than a paintball. Im not saying air soft does not hurt, I'm saying paint balls hurt more. I bled a few weeks ago from one, still have a bit of scar tissue there, I'll try and upload a picture.

Airsoft Gun: Electric MP5 commando stock with adjustable hop-up.

it's the same here. no 1 plays airsoft, other then like 13 year old kids in there backyard. I don't hate airsoft or anything, I just think it's lame unless you're doing it professionally. There's just so many paintball fields it's not really hard 2 find a game or people 2 play with heh.

how much

paintball actually hurts more. the paintball is a larger surface area, and the paintball shell its self can cut you.

my beef with airsoft is that people just cheat left and right, cause there's no way 2 prove you actually hit someone, when I drill you in paintball, I know damn well I got you cause it's visble with a mark.

You understand that a larger surface area means that the force is spread over a wider area and causes less damage in comparison to a smaller object of the same force, right?

The difference is that a paintball moving at 300 fps hurts more than an airsoft pellet at 300 fps because a paintball is over three times heavier (3.2 grams) than the heaviest airsoft pellet (.80 grams). That same airsoft pellet is also used for gas-powered guns.


For the record, paintball is much more badass than airsoft. I had an m4a1 airsoft about four years ago and the damn stock broke off less than a year after owning the damn thing. I was so pissed.

How much did you pay for it, and do you remember what brand it was? There are some very shitty no-name brands out there, that use hard plastic for their guns rather than actual metal. Just crs.

ya that's the prob though. airsoft in most places isn't big enough 2 justify spending 300+ dollars on a good airsoft gun.

Bumpdedump.

Also.

Should I get an Apex ?

I'm not 100% sure it will fit on either of my Alpha Black barrels. Ive heard really good things about It and its pretty cheap.

i have an Apex and its one of the greatest things ever. i never use the curve or anything but the distance and accuracy bonus is great. i can shoot a football field on a day with not much wind.

i would also recommend a python barrel kit. its made for woodsball and it's around 2 inches long and attaches to the end of the marker and whatever barrel you want on the other end. it has inserts to match the balls you use and really tightens up accuracy, especially at long ranges...
