    Posted: 04 July 2005 at 5:13am

 

Mine with the E-Bolt. Gunmetal Hammer-tone paint, stainless screws. Hammerhead Pro barrel. Modified Tippmann double trigger (limit screws) and mirror polish on the chamber and feed throat area of the receiver(all the area wiped by the forward bolt "O" ring).

 

 

Robin's marker: E-Bolt, Palmer Stabilizer, Mini-Rock, Dye Sticky grips, Modified Tippmann double trigger (limit screws), Stone Cold II 17" barrel, all stainless screws.Also mirror polish inside where necessary. Paint is lacquer color called Kameleon, a metal flake that glows gold, red or green, depending on how the light hits it.

The top marker is sorta ugly..., but the bottom one has some really good parts on it.  Neither of the barrels really look good on the guns either.

Interesting that comments are that the barrels don't "look good." Robin and I usually take the same bunker on the break. He on one side and I on the the other. We play enough that most people at the field know us. They yell to us during the game, not just that our "mirror is hot" or that the "back dog house" is hot, but that we need to take out a specific bunker so that our team can move. Both of our barrels are dead on accurate. We occupy the back line and sweep the field with these barrels. We don't always own it, but we keep it locked up pretty well. There is many the time when we are out numbered 3 to 1 and we still win the game.

We have Flatline barrels for both markers and love their ability to reach out and touch those on the back line across the field. But, the two barrels we have now will make the distance and shot to shot consistency is better with much less expensive paint (Diablo Heat). Looks aren't EVERYTHING.

I stuck with the standard bottom-of-the-grip ASA longer than my son did, but I discovered that in speedball the short coupling of the drop forward made the marker easier to handle. I went cheap. Right now we are both still using CO2. We have both just purchased used HPA tanks and will be converting as soon as they arrive. We are taking advantage of Crossfire's regulator exchange program to switch his cylinder to a screw in valve rather than the cradle type (Nitro Duck). I have picked a small pony scuba tank and will also make that valve change before we can fully convert.

Funny, we were asking questions of the Refs at the field the other night about the legality of a dead man giving paint or his marker to a live player in the middle of a game. We had not been allowed to do that, (needed paint) about a year ago, but it is OK now. Seems that in the Advanced play, with such expensive and complicated guns they have to allow swap-outs like that because of the high rate of marker break-down. Sure is great to be on the level with the advanced markers but still using the virtually rock rugged Tippmann markers.

I usually leave a tube or two at the first bunker I get to, then it is picked up if it's needed.

It aint about black or white
