That's in my blood. I honestly don't think I can hold onto an Osiris if I had one. I just have this need to try something out that I've never used before, and my list grows bigger every year. But so far the only marker I've truly felt comfortable with is a 'cocker and my old 98c. I traded a ULE Warpfed E-Mag for a simple Raced FF, which I'm selling. I think I hit Nirvana with the Black Magic though. Strangely, I feel no need to sell it...

But between the four I listed, I still don't know. I don't want to, but I'll probably wind up selling it later on. I hate me.

LOL, face it man! You are destined to become an engineer and fiddle with paintball markers for the rest of your life.

Honestly though, I think the best job I ever had was when I was teching in college. It's a good thing I had to move back to WV after college, otherwise I would have been content to make $12/hr working on stuff at the shop. Heh, it's funny. I probably took half of what I earned over the years in store credit for paintball gear. I mean, that IAO BM LE that I built was over $2K all told including the hopper and Tank at the time. Now, I'd probably get $200 for it at best on e-bay, mcb, or pbn since there body is so rare and wasn't advertised so no-one knows about it.

I will say, that thing still rips. Single-trigger slider frame and all. I took it out to the field for the first time in years last year and was parted out from the rest of the walk-ons to go play with the "advanced" players that had DMs, Egos, etc. Some guys actually laughed at me for having a mech an being in the group. First game out I shot out half of the opposing team myself. Quality beats out new-fangled-tech any day.

That sounds disturbingly appealing. Problem is, I just can't justify doing that. I am going for an architectural degree right now. Fortunately, I'm just doing the academics at a junior college right now so when I go to university, I can focus on my major. I still have time to choose.

slow people need to get either phanomts so they can move faster and tuck in as much as possible, or a reall fast gun so they can walk the trigger faster than they can walk.  when you finaly tinker with a gun and make it absolutly perfect, im sure you will become a  millionair and buy all the guns you can desire and make more guns and make more money and give me 10% because i motivated you to do so.(if your a billionair its 20%)

Well, you have some wierd ideas sometimes...

I like Snipers too.  Ive thought about getting one, playing pump.  But, only 1 other person I know actually plays, so that died.

Oh, and Carbon Fiber=Amazing.  Im with you on that one.

Regrettably, I never was able to get it to work, and soon realized that the money needed wouldn't justify the project. The E-Bolt board was fried, and the BSI ram couldn't be 2-way'd. I found someone selling Psycho Ballistics E-Bolts for $135, BNIB. Coincidently, he's also selling M98 receivers for $25. Now, I just have to figure out how to double-trigger the M98 and get a guard on there, and I'll be coo'. I like the look of the M98 better than the 98c, because I like the gills. I would like to work with that. I have all the internals from my old project, but I think I borked up the 98c receivers beyond repair.

Bringing a dead thread up for purely selfish reasons:

Can I get a line on the ebolts? I've been wanting to try to ebolt my m98 for a couple of years, but never bothered to run down one.

Oh and on the original topic: duckslide. You'll always be able to find a pneumag body, but Mongo might get hit by a reindeer pulled sleigh in late December, or something.
