Paintball Anybody?

last friday i bought my MR4 and some assorted paintball gear. My thoughts (im pretending you people care) :D

Kingman Spyder MR4 Military Sims Semi-Auto Paintball Marker :

it has a 5 star rating on amazon and by the look and feel of it, it deserves it. its got all the things you want in a good semi-auto marker you could want without breaking the bank. more picatinny rails than you really need, an offset hopper, stock (although not to good of one), a good sized ported barrel. a bit heavy and i would definatly recomend a remote line to keep the gun a little less weighty, but other than that, all else seems to be relying on the feild test this saturday. that will be the true judgement call for the gun.

recomended upgrades are:

a grip - not for most, but i got some long arms.

remote line - its really heavy as it is. go with the extreme rage as mentioned below

red dot sight - a friend of mine bought one, and i really liked the way it performed so im thinking about getting me one myself. im really cheap thoughgo walmart :D

stock - i want one, but i dont want the mil-sim sliding stocks... just something light and lower.

5 Star and its well worth $129 that i paid.

(coppied from my Amazon review)

3Skull 6+1 Paintball Harness Ammo Pack

for starters its very well made and the stitching and material seems very sturdy. but its only got one small strap across your waist. one on the top of it, not centered to keep a good center of balance and it flops around bad when you run. (even if you tighten it very tight) also, im a pretty big guy 6'4" at 230 lbs... but this thing is really wide. it increases my profile way to much, 4 or so inches on each side. i thought the horizontal pods wouldnt be to wide but i was wrong. got with vertical pod holders, i'll keep it and sell it off at my next game if i can. xD

bottom line, im definatly not going to play speedball with this [harness] and i dont know if im going to use it with woodsball or not. i wouldnt recomend it at all...

Pure Energy N2 Compressed Air Tank (48ci/3000psi):

the good, the bad, the ugly

its HPA, its steel, and its really heavy. simple enough. it does its job and what more can you ask

Extreme Rage Deluxe Heavy Duty Coil Remote:

out of the box i said dam this thing is really heavy... a little stiff, but i think it will do great after a few uses. i feel safe with this high quality line holding 3000 PSI under my arm.

VFORCE Profiler SE Thermal Paintball Mask:

Mmmm.... feels nice... well for like the five minutes i put it on it did. anyway, i got this right after i had to leave for work and riding up to a military instalation testing out your new paintball mask is not highly recomended. haha, anyway, im looking forward to this, and im really looking forward to playing with it.

BOTTOM LINE:

Im 6'4' 230lbs, and i dont mind carrying a little extra weight. and im using this for woodsball and senareo games mind you. but for those that dont i dont think you should go with such a heavy set-up. its heavy and the big MR4 is a little long. but so was carring around a balistic plate vest in afganistan (for like the 3 times i acctually had to wear the thing, haha), and that wasnt to bad. anywho, i play woodsball and senario ball, and im really looking forward to how well my setup will perform in the field. except the harness mind you... im probly going to ditch that for better one.

I played it once, it was fun. But I know nothing of setups or anything like that :P

If Fengo still visited, he'd be right in here.

Seeing as I'll be 18 next year (apparently the legal age to buy Paintball equipment in Australia, according my friend), this is beyond interesting to me, mainly since I was hoping to get some on my B'Day for a game I wish to play at night ;P

Kingman Spyder MR4 Military Sims Semi-Auto Paintball Marker - Looks f***ing sexy, to start off with. I think I'll be able to get all those extras, plus a sweet digital camo paint job ;P

3Skull 6+1 Paintball Harness Ammo Pack - Probably won't be buying an Ammo Pack anyway, seeing as the Paintball places we got over here give you ones depending on how much game you wish to play/pay for.

Pure Energy N2 Compressed Air Tank (48ci/3000psi) - I'm looking to buy Guerrilla Air 62/3000 Air/Nitrogen Paintball Tank.

Extreme Rage Deluxe Heavy Duty Coil Remote - Sounds like a good deal. I'll leave it in the sun for a little while; might improve the stiffness issue.

VFORCE Profiler SE Thermal Paintball Mask - I'm getting a free, completely custom mask.

Anyways, good reviews. Enjoy your paintball games!

EDIT: Forgot to mention the full harness. My friend said he could provide me with a small one until I make a decision on what I want.

Tippmann A-5 here. 'bout 20 pounds of gear overall. Ten pod vest, 48/3000 HPA, and remote line. I still have to take that picture of it all. Paintball is one of my 'things' and I consider myself very knowledgeable on the subject.

MR4 Great buy honestly if your starting get this gun, if you like woodsball, get this gun... if you play speedball, take the stock off, but GET THIS GUN! the gun was set a little low and i need to get a spring pack to get it shooting a full 300 FPS out of it, i only got 270 or so out of it. factory set at 250 just cant get the ball out there far enough.

great gun and for playing short games i ditched the stupid pod pack and used an old cammel-back water pack minus the water bladder. thread the remote line through the hole for the water tube and the thing works like a charm. im going to get a smaller pod pack the vertical pod holders cause the horizontal ones stick out to far and are uncomfortable.

only thing Negative i noticed was i broke paint once... but yeah i forgot to swap the slide check once and sat for like 2 minutes trying to clear what i thought was a jam and then found out it was the slide check xD i felt like a total dummy, haha

i'll try my best to get some pics of it up but really, the gun works great.
