Because if u put them in the freezer and you take em out and play with them... it hurts 10x worse because the paint is frozen.

That has to be one of the dumbest things, for anyone, to do when paintballing. I know a guy who was shot with a frozen paintball. It went through his mask and broke his nose:grr: I hope none of you guys freeze your paintballs.....I dont even refrigerate mine, I just keep them in a cooler place and rotate the boxes every 2 weeks so they dont get flat spots.

I have a 2001 PMI Piranha. (black) A 12 oz CO2 tank, JT mask, and a 3 pod belt. The only problenm is that something is wrong with the barrel. It breaks paint all the time. I think it is also to freeze or refridgerate your paint.

I have a custom 98 with custom camo, flatline barrel, retractable stock, camo sling, lazer dot sight, bulldog 91/45 nitro, inline adj. pressure reg, dual pressure guages, camo harness that holds 5 140 tubes and my tank, remote line, olive green dye invision thermal, and some other odds and ends.
as for paintballs I have good luck with diablo dusk, worrgames, and I am going to try proball pretty soon here

spectre
09-19-2003, 05:33 PM
proball is nice most of the time, gotta keep it cool though

RideRed400StYlE
09-19-2003, 05:36 PM
yea, well they recommenrd proball for the flatline so that is why I am gunna try it. I have put over 5000 rounds through the flatline without a single busted paintball so far. so I think I am doin pretty good.. The room I store my paintballs in stays about 55-65 degrees year round. no hotter no cooler

RuffRyder400ex
09-19-2003, 05:38 PM
i think that all paintballs are just as good as eatch other. you just have to match the oaintball size with barrel size and anything will work great;)

I dont agree there. I have shot super swirls, and brass eagles, and blue streaks. and I am not happy with any of them. never tried em in the new gun, but in my spyder they just fell apart. Freshnes also plays a big roll in how well they shoot. but the size does also. and like I said tippman recommends proball for the flatline so they should shoot good I hope

RuffRyder400ex
09-19-2003, 05:48 PM
well i have a boomstick and superswirl works great in it and i havnt had more than 5 ball breaks in over a year of playing. The freak barrel kit comes with different bore sizes so it can fit the paint you use better;)

I've tried the brass egales in 2 spyders a tippman and a pranha (parcatly the same as a sypder lol) everyone broke at least 2 or 3 balls out of a case of 2000 not impressed :grr:

yeah, been there done that. made many spud guns in my day.. take a paper towel and shove it down the barrel followed by like 8 or 10 paintballs and another paper towel on top. you got yourself a paintball shotgun.. has a pretty decent spread, it would be hard to miss someone with it

Man ya'll got some nice guns. I got to shoot my friends X-mag yesterday, and man was that thing sweet. And i know from expereince that different panitballs make a big diffrence. Never buy brass eagles unless your using them for like a sling shot or something :p . Hopefully my gun will come in next week :D checked retail on my gun today and it was 380 dollars and i only got it for 200 with a hopper, co2 and a mask.

certain guns have different barrels, each barrel needs a specific bore size of paint to shoot correctly, brass eagle has large bore paint because of the guns. theres so much to learn about paintball that people dont know. dont put you paintballs in the fridge or freezer, just keep them sealed good in the bag and roll them around once a day. i just buy Pmi premiums, they have a medium size bore paint and it worked in my guns the best. if i buy a aftermarket barrel its ussually for small bore and then i would use something like marbalizers. i could go all day but there is plenty of forums about paintball to learn this stuff.

yes i agree that is what i was saying before. but brass eagles just REALLY SUCK in anything.

this is mostly true, rainmakers can be decent guns, but other than that Brass Eagle sucks the big one. EDIT: speaking of brass eagle im getting my ole stingray out to mess with it :D

NTPracing22
09-30-2003, 05:34 PM
impulses are pretty nasty. i like my em1 as it is..but to make it shoot as fast/faster than a 'super gun' i'm milling a new tub and mounting on a angel frame. as it is it'll push 20bps...with the angel it'll only go to about 22bps but with less trigger pull

how do you like your 68/4500? is it heavy at all? i have a 48/3000 i like it because of wieght-it empties pretty damn fast though. the good thing is a full off my own scuba tank so air is unlimited
