Not really functional? Lets see I have a Flatline barrel that has improved my distance and accuracy, an expansion chamber and remote line which
had made my shots consistent and has improved my co2 performance, I installed a dove tail mount that allowed me to bolt my scope to the side of the gun, which has allowed me to zero in my scope because the plastic
flatline shroud I cut off was a joke. I installed the lapco direct feed because it allows me to see past the hopper with my scope without my view being upstructed at all. I installed a see through elbow so that I can check the status of my paintballs. I replaced the crappy mounting screw for the flatline barrel with a brass screw and wing nut that comes off easily, and installed a rocket cock because I play allot of
woods paintball and prevents me from getting dirt in the gun. And the scope i have is a short quick view that also has elevated open ring mount that allow me to see under it and a quick turn adjustment that lets me chose between 3 to 9x magnification
But yeah the whole thing is "Not really functional" I would say thanks for the input but you obviously either
didn't give the gun a second look or you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I am guessing that it is probably the ladder.
I designed the gun to match my playing style and to be completely functional, and it works like a charm

Wow.... Congratulations on makeing an ass of yourself.
1. The stock is pointless.
2. You have a gravity feed hopper, That direct feed is just silly with a gravity feed.
3. You have a scope... That's just plain stupidity, Unless it's for looks and looks alone.
4. Flatline... A decent barrel for range, But overall a crappy barrel, I know I have one, And an All American.
The rock cock is good, The exp is good, remote line is alright. I'd say get a new hopper, Double trigger, Do some actual Custom mods... Lose the scope.

So esentually you are telling all the people on this forum that I have
seen with the flatline barrels and stocks that they are useless.
And all the guns with scopes I have seen are plain stupid. And your
suggestion is to put an electronic hopper and a double trigger on a gun
that has a barrel that is not supposed to have paintballs shot at more
then 3 balls per second. No matter what barrel you have at a long
distance you will not place a paintball in the same spot each time, but
if you can place paintballs in an 8" radius at 100 feet like I do and
you are aiming for center of mass then a scope is not just for show. I
did not make a speed ball gun, just an acurate woods ball gun that did
not cost me a fortune. Oh and the direct feed is so that the hopped
does not block my view not beacause I wanted to have a fast loading
hopper, I don't shoot that many paintballs that it matters, and I don't
spend all my parents money on a tripped out paintball gun like you have
done so that I can find fault in other peoples setups.

Alright Bud,
I have a job and pay for all of my own equipment.
"I
did not make a speed ball gun, just an acurate woods ball gun that did
not cost me a fortune"
You bought one of the top three most expensive barrels on the market, Dont give me that crap... For less then half the price you could have bought a Lapco Bigshot which WILL shoot more accuratly then your flatline.
Secondly, You talk about crap you know absolutly nothing about. The flatline is well capable of shooting on upwards of 10-13 BPS through it with out chop, Not 3 BPS...
Thirdly
"No matter what barrel you have at a long
distance you will not place a paintball in the same spot each time, but
if you can place paintballs in an 8" radius at 100 feet like I do and
you are aiming for center of mass then a scope is not just for show."
THEN WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE A SCOPE. You just said, that you place paintball in a 8 freaking inch grouping at 100 feet. You can do the same thing with the sights provided on your gun. Your scope... Is useless, It adds more wieght, And increases the area of gun that can be hit.
Fourth.
Stocks are ALL for looks. Or in some instances on this forum it reminds people of the feeling of a real gun and they are more comfertable with that. As for actual use they serve no purpose.
Fact of that matter is, You have'nt played under any circumstances in which you actuly experiance quality play. I'm willing to say that you have'nt played for more then a year.
I've played for 7, And I used to be just like you... Sniper wannabe, Fact is, Hit up a few big games and you'll see just how pointless that crap is, Unless it's for looks.
Further you'll find yourself WISHING you had the ability to fire more then 3 rounds a second, Because you'll get walked all over.
Your gun, IS NOT CUSTOM, and IS NOT effective in any situation other then intermidiate rec ball.
You posted your gun looking for opinions, The moment you posted you granted me permission to give my opinion and who ever else to as well, and you get upsett when people point out the flaws in your marker. For rec ball you have a decent gun, But the thing that pisses me off is you get angry when people say it's not really that effective then talk about things you know NOTHING about.

Your gun, IS NOT CUSTOM, and IS NOT effective in any situation other then intermidiate rec ball
I play with 11 friends on woods land that I own, we have sectioned off
a play area full of trees and bunkers, I do not play speed ball games,
I will never play "big games" and the the gun is comfortable to me
which makes the game more enjoyable. And the flatline was not
constructed to fire any more then 3 paintballs per second, check the
scecs. We play tactical games in the woods in camo, there was three
guys in the group that started with fast, expensive speedball guns, and
they were a joke, they have nothing but problems with parts breaking,
co2 freezing if I wanted to play video games I would go home and get an
Xbox. And I have never gotten walked all over in the game. And the
barrel was a gift from my wife.
I never claimed my gun was customer just setup for the game I play

Anyway I should not have gotten caught up in arguments about my gun that was just stupid
I happen to think allot of my gun and I guess that's all that matters,
I would never get on a forum like this and start insulting someones
gun, I think that everyone that has put the time into putting together
their own gun ought to have pride in it. And no Big games is not why I
play and will never be, if thats your thing then good for you. I also
see alot of other peoples posts on this site and they have also been
ripped by the same guys posting coments on this post so I guess thats
just the way it goes.
Anyhow fill your boots, and keep on posting pictures of your guns even
though you might get ripped on by the so called experts of the game
that are so helpful in letting you know
so gracefully what you have done wrong and how stupid you are for building a gun the way you wanted it

Sorry to interrupt the hullibalou... but do you think you can edit your initial post, Baewolf?
Just need the thumbnails distributed to about five per row. The thread stretches out horizontally.
I tried editing your post below it, but then realized the images were the culprit. I'd edit it myself, but figured I'd just ask instead.
As for your rig. It's fine. It's tailored to your playing style and preferences, and that's all that matters. There'll always be some items that I personally wouldn't have bothered with (scope)... but that's just ME.

What is a fire power upgrade?
|
Posted By: ShortyBP
Date Posted: 26 January 2006 at 3:19pm
"Fire Power Upgrade" tends to refer to the RT, or for the A5, the RT and E-grip.
More of a "rate of fire" upgrade.
Which most paintball players today put way too much emphasis on. Shining example of the spray and pray mentality.

Date Posted: 26 January 2006 at 3:40pm
Okay cool I changed the post, and thanks for the reply, I have no
interst though in a rate of fire upgrade, I can understand why it is
apealing for some but it is not the game I am looking to play. Half of
the players I have tagged so far were ones that I fired only one or two
paintball at. I also have to say that the best loses I have taken were
ones that I totally did not see coming and was shot with a single paint
ball out of nowhere, last time I played I worked my way in behind a
bunker and poked my head up once and a frind of mine tagged me right in
the face with a single paintball from over 90 feet away, it was a cool
shot

He has an A5 with a flatline barrel came with the gun when he bought
it, and as useless as some people think it is he was using a scope, he
told me that he tracked me along till I got behind the bunker then when
I poked up next to the other guy on my team that was already in the
bunker he laced me one, he said that he was just waiting for me to
stick my head up and was already aiming where he thought I would surface

stocks help absorb recoil and add stability on guns 1. paintball guns have little to no recoil 2. you dont really need anything to rest the gun on they shouldnt be that heavy but if you want stability hold your tank against your shoulder

perhaps for your games a scope is useless, but
for the rec woodsball game that me and my friends
play in a big forrest by his acreage, a scope would
be alot of use. we play in the dark only so sneaking
up and killing people is how you win. most of the time
i end up spotting his silouwette but not knowing it
is him (thinking it's a tree), and i find out later, if
i'd known i would have had him beat, but i lose cuz
i can't determine if it's him i see over there, or if
it's him over on the other side, he goes through the
same. i dono for sure cuz i never had one, but a scope
would at least allow us to focus off into the distances
to see whether the shadow we are looking at has a hopper
or not so we can deter whether it's the opponent or just
a harmless tree. without a scope, we have to resort
to clumsy binoculars which render us useless in the heat
of the battle. i mean if we are ambushed, there's not
enough time to drop the specs and get back into the
trigger of our gun.
so you see friends scope wouldn't be used to aim in
paintball, for me to aim with, but rather to identify
the existance of our targets.

Not loser-dom anything but that,
I think that people are entitled to their own opinions but a person
should respect another persons right to decide what works best for
them, and just because they were incapable of getting something to work
for them really does not make it okay to think that someone else could
not or that everthing they say is absolute. I come here to the forum to
look at other people cool guns and creations. I know that they must
mean allot to them and it good to have a place to show them off, and as
for being fearful of upsetting another user or "takin hits by"

Alright baewolf,
You stood up for your gun, And you took the flack with grace. Your comfertable with your marker and you like it. That's great.
I do enjoy your attitude though in all of this and you seem respectable enough to me.
Your gun is not my cup of tea, Simple as that. I just get heated when other people get heated, It's the way of the land here. No hard feelings on my part though.
Any way, It's all about haveing fun, So if you enjoy your gun then more power to ya
Keep the peace man, And have fun!
But just as some advice, I'd look into a few big games if I were you... They are a ball, I'm not talken speed, I'm talking scenarios or Big Rec games like Michigan Monster, Or the Tippmann world challenge.
They are enjoyable as long as you dont mind getting lit up, And seeing the player you just shot whipe that is... But with 1000+ players... The refs cant stop that.
NOT THAT I CONDONE THAT BEHAVIOR.
Any way, I enjoyed the ruccuss that we created for the time, You defended your gun, Good man. Best of Luck to you and your wife.

Thanks man, someday I might get into a different gun. paintball in my
area is really taking off, sucks though that I pretty much have to
order everything online because the local suppliers ream us on the
prices. The more I play the more I like it though I have been at it
for a year now and my gun has worked wonders for me and the game me and
my friends play. It's a big area of land that I own and we have
managed to turn it into a pretty swell course, complete with bunkers
and scrapped cars, etc...., I might post some pics of it some day. Oh
and the Big Rec games sound pretty cool I am going to be looking into
them.
One question what is this I hear about people polishing the inside of their guns and barrels???

I would definetly go and try the scenario games.
I am looking into it now, actually seems like not that much going on
though till the spring, the group I play with has grown leaps and
bounds though, when we originally started with 6 people that played
every week, we are now up to 24 and growing.
**some of them guys got a point, just get a hopper at the least**
What kind of hopper do you mean? I have though about it and I am going
to hold out and get a Qloader hooper some time in the hopefully not to
distant future

Yeah the gun does work great and for me, and I am happy with it, I have
been adding some more things to it and am still evolving the gun so in
time it will change but I think that is the way it should be, your game
play changes and so does your gun, it's what makes it yours.

Whats a "Tippmann 98 Customer"? Its alright, nothing special. Not really funtional. 5/10 |
Not really functional? Lets see I have a Flatline barrel that has improved my distance and accuracy, an expansion chamber and remote line which
had made my shots consistent and has improved my co2 performance, I installed a dove tail mount that allowed me to bolt my scope to the side of the gun, which has allowed me to zero in my scope because the plastic
flatline shroud I cut off was a joke. I installed the lapco direct feed because it allows me to see past the hopper with my scope without my view being upstructed at all. I installed a see through elbow so that I can check the status of my paintballs. I replaced the crappy mounting screw for the flatline barrel with a brass screw and wing nut that comes off easily, and installed a rocket cock because I play allot of
woods paintball and prevents me from getting dirt in the gun. And the scope i have is a short quick view that also has elevated open ring mount that allow me to see under it and a quick turn adjustment that lets me chose between 3 to 9x magnification
But yeah the whole thing is "Not really functional" I would say thanks for the input but you obviously either
didn't give the gun a second look or you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I am guessing that it is probably the ladder.
I designed the gun to match my playing style and to be completely functional, and it works like a charm

I play with 11 friends on woods land that I own, we have sectioned off
a play area full of trees and bunkers, I do not play speed ball games,
I will never play "big games" and the the gun is comfortable to me
which makes the game more enjoyable. And the flatline was not
constructed to fire any more then 3 paintballs per second, check the
scecs. We play tactical games in the woods in camo, there was three
guys in the group that started with fast, expensive speedball guns, and
they were a joke, they have nothing but problems with parts breaking,
co2 freezing if I wanted to play video games I would go home and get an
Xbox. And I have never gotten walked all over in the game. And the
barrel was a gift from my wife.
I never claimed my gun was customer just setup for the game I play

there is no such rating of "3 balls per second" for the flatline. It doesn't make sense, as at the speed the balls move, you could fire 30 bps and there would still be a 10' gap inbetween them. Atleast research you're arguments, that way you don't look like an idiot who's just arguing for the sake of arguing.

Leave the poor guy alone...for his type of play, his gun works great for him..he does not play speedball/big games, nor does he want to, and he doesn't have the need for a trigger up or an agitated hopper. The feed he has on his gun is not usless for his settup since he has a scope, and this the direct feed gets the hopper out of the way. Many people think a scope is useless on a paintball marker, but that is not entirley true. A scope in his type of situation where he is playing in the woods where things can get pretty dark can be very useful; a scope can be used to "spot" targets at distances longer than you would normally be able see. Although he does.t have one, a sight, particularly a red dot sight, is better then iron/fixed sights, and especially better than no sight at all. For those of you who say a scope on a paintball gun is usless, you are being completely ignorent and downright wrong. The US military has spent millions of dollars in testing whcih type of sighting method is the most effecient for any type of projectile firing tool. A red dot allows it's user to acquire a target quicker and more accurately than any other method.
As for the flatline comment, when matched with the right paint and velocity, the flaltine WILL outperform any barrel out there distance wise, and will be pretty close accuracy wise.....and yes, it will take a significant amount of work to get right, but the rewards outweigh the amount of work
the stock comment is also wrong, because a stock WILL help your aim, even morso than a tank..it also weighs considerably less than a tank on the end of your gun depending on which stock you get, and it also has an amazing intiidation factor on the feild
remember, it only takes one shot to get a kill, and its not the gun that makes the player, its the player that makes the gun

spartan119 Thanks man that is
exactly the way I have looked at it.
Oh and as for
RavenGuard's comments I have done my research and was not arguing for
the sake of arguing, maybe you should not
focus on taking out small bits of a rather large "discussion"
for the sake of insulting. You may end up looking like an idiot who's
just arguing for the sake of arguing.
"as at the speed
the balls move, you could fire 30 bps and there would still be a
10' gap inbetween them. Atleast research you're
arguments"
Oh and don't jump on my grammar,
if your going to ride on someone for spelling a word wrong don't
follow it up with a few lines of back wood gibberish

JESUS CHRIST!!
The man took the time to post pictures of his gun to get some positive feedback. Not everyone telling him that his gun is pointless. Maybe he likes the feel of the stock or maybe he just likes how it looks. Who cares!!
I like the gun. It looks good with the camo. Do you play in on a team or just for fun. I'm practicing with my team for SPPL. Looks like we have a pretty chance of winning.

Thanks man, the way I look at it is that for someone to do up their own
gun, and post pictures of it, the gun must mean something to them, and
thats what counts, I think you need to be open though to "constructive
critisusm" or suggestions. I have gotten allot of excellent help from
members on this forum, so it's not all bad.
I do not play on a team yet, I guess just for fun as they say, but the
number of players that I play with has grown considerably, soon I will
be setting up a website with pics and video of us playing, kind of a
player site for us but open for others too.
Good luck with the team play, hope it goes well

if you play mainly stealth stay away from any kind of electric hopper the racket after each shot will give your position away. don't sweat anyone jacking your gun, while they are entitled to their opinion, you are entitled to build your gun however you see fit and if you like it and it works for you stick with it.
ps i think the duct tape camo job looks tacky.....sorry, it had to be said.

Thanks for the advice on the qloader, I guess maybe it may
look more cool then it is practical, I will take it into consideration and as
for anyone who has personal experience with one, either owned or played with
someone that has one, I would like your input as to whether you agree that it
is loud!!
As for the camo tape, yeah you are right, I do think it is kind of tacky, first
off I find it to be too shinny and, it does not match the rest of the gun.
Recently because no one in my area fixes or upgrades guns I have gotten into
fixing markers and working on upgrades, I just finished stripping and painting
a tippmann 98 that a co-worker owns, he had murdered it with paint brush coats
of blue and black paint, he even painted the bolts and screws shut. I think
there is a balance between a gun being practical and looking good, hopefully I
will be able to do over my own gun the way I want. I have to admit though
outside of helping make some ones else’s gun look better, it is good to be able
to work on a gun that is not your own, just in case you screw it up bad, I am
sure anyone on this forum the first time they redid or painted their gun
thought man I hope I don't **edited** this up

It's your marker.
It suits your taste and style of play.
Welcome to the forum.
Do what you think is right for you. It's your money, and you play with the marker. So what other people think of it is not important.
What is important is that you enjoy playing with it and it is effective in what you want it to be able to do.
If you are satisfied. That is enough.
I know people that still play with 68 Specials, Pro-lites, and SL68s and are just as effective in the style of paintball that they play as the guys with Angel G7s.
So...nice job.
And I commend you on your attitude and mature response to what some would consider flaming.

Thanks, although I have not paintballed for years it has
quickly become quite a passion for me and it is good to see that someone who
has so many posts and obviously played for so many years thinks that I am
at least heading in the right direction in my outlook on things
I was pretty discouraged on the forum when I first started with all the
insults of my gun, but I got past it all and am glad now that I joined
