 Topic: Rant time. "Upgrades"Posted: 18 August 2004 at 12:17pm |

Anyone else miss the days when this forum had lots of interesting discussion about homemade mods?
Am i the absolute only person here who takes some amount of pleasure in upgrading my gun MYSELF? I dont need to buy a drop-in kit that installs in 2 minutes. Wheres the fun? Wheres the satisfaction in a job well done? Wheres the bragging rights? Smile, you have THE SAME CRAP AS EVERYONE ELSE. Your 98 with an LP kit isnt unique or personal, its the same as every other gun. Even though model98.net has some totally dumb mods like the "blowback holes" at least they have the interest in tinkering. Im starting to think tippmann spoiled all the new players with their drop-in stuff tailor made for the 12 year old with ADD. People like thompsonshooter are the people i respect around here. That actually build something awesome that shows you what can be done with brains and the willingness to start drilling holes in things. Ive learned so much about paintball and building things just playing around with ideas to mod stuff. I guess nobody else has any interest in bettering themself at the game we all play. Fine, whatever. Maybe ive just been overestimating people again, until i saw some posts dissing on homemade jobs. Edited by Enos Shenk |

Enos.. what about me?
I spent an hour today doing horrendously bad sketches of: a better pistol design than my last one, an effective magazine-feed system that doesn't put pressure on the balls, and a few ideas on making a full-auto version of my 98C hair-trigger kit. I was bored. |

Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me. |

Besides the Pen Spring Mod, I cant think of any for my 98 Custom, I'm Ill-Trained in the Arts of Modifying.

pfff, I'd love to make myself a p/c with flatline and r/t, but I don't really trust myself with power tools.

Chill enos. Anyone dissing home-made mods is a tool of course, but trashing anyone who uses drop-in mods is just as bad. Some people just have more interest in playing than tinkering.

maybe some ppl like the drop in kits and easy mods like port hols and pen spring cuz they care more about performance then looks. and want to spend there time and money playing.

moding a paintball gun isnt like working on a car or a computer, they are very simple things. there is no one who couldnt do it, they just dont want to jeperdize a $200 peice of equipment

some one woke up on the wrong side of the bed... not everyone has the craftsmanship and skill to make parts for their gun, and alot of the tippy users ARE 12 year olds with ADD. |

If it makes you feel any better, Enos. I figured out my return spring problem. It isn't exactly a home made mod, or a drop in. Just some delightfully bastardized version of both.
