Finally I’ve gotten some pics of all my stuff. So, here we go! First up, my brand new Phantom VSC. I haven’t gotten to play with her yet, but I have put about 500 rounds through her. This is my first stock class gun. I can’t wait to play with her.
Next up is my A-5 with some Palmer goodness (Stabilizer and brass barrel). This has been my main workhorse. Had her for a little over 1 ½ years now upgrading her form stock. (sorry for the shakey pic)
Here’s a little tribute to the men of Easy Company.
Quick little group shot.
I think that should be enough 10 round tubes.
Here’s a pic of my desk (work area). In the right side of the pic you can see part of my Broadsword vest. That massive tank sitting farthest right is a 35oz. And I’ve got my Far Side calendar which I’m too lazy to change the month.
I give you... ULTRA-CONSTANT AIR PHANTOM! PH34R IT!

Okay, here's the story behind the tank. I was looking to trade my 20oz tank with my friend for his 24oz tank (he doesn't play that much) becuase Iwanted something that could shoot all the paint in my fully loaded Broadsword (I used to carry 5 pods into each game). But he couldn't find the tank so my hunt continued. The group I play with is a highly organized outlaw ball group. It is head up by a church pastor who brings a trailer filled with a co2 fill station, paint, rentals, tools, etc. The guy is a dealer for National Paintball, Tippmann, and CCI (I got my Phantom through him). Anyway, a while ago he bought a bucket of used paintball crap offline and the tank happened to be in it. I asking him if he could get ahold of a tank larger than a 20 oz and he handed me the 35oz. I told him I would try it out for the day to see if I wanted it. I got about 1700-1800 shots off it (even when it iced over a couple of times from firing too fast). I told him I'll buy it from him and he sold it to me for $20. Now, here's the downside. It wasn't until later that I noticed the tank was out of hydro (it was made in June of '98) meaining no one would fill it. I callled him and told him and he said that if I wanted, he'd still fill it for me. I know it may not be smart and I'm fully aware of the risk and I take full responsibility if anything happens. Anyway, lately I haven't been using it. Since the tank sits sideways on my vest, it was giving me some liquid co2 problems. Besides, I shooting less in games now becuase I switched my gun back to semi and I'm conserving more paint. I may sell it, but I'm not sure. |

Good luck with the phantom, stock class vs semis may be one of the most difficult things in paintball. You just have gotta stick to it. -------------

I know how hard it will be to make the switch, but just think of how much the pump will improve my game. Also, why loose the grip on the A-5 eliminator? I like it. I may, though, get one of Flup's UMS RIS MKII to replace it. By the way, you can't find that tank. I'm 99% sure they don't make it any more. |

I have no idea. The only label on it is the safety sticker. I may sell it because I'm starting to use less paint. Not sure though. |

I respectfully dissagree, I think it is one of the most fun things in paintball. And remember to use your huge mobility to you're advantage when playing stock... you dont need too pour paint when they don't have a bunker hiding them from you. And... ugh. Just get it hydroed. Please. ------------- VSC Phantom w/ Palmer Stabilizer + Vertical Pump Handle |

| Well, I've been told that most co2 tanks don't make it through hydro. I don't want to spend $30 and risk losing it. |

i like both setups.... i shoulda just got a basic black phantom.... it's hard to find places that have the stuff i want and be able to put it in a red/yellow anno..... and if i do, they ask too much and it takes a couple months.... ------------- X |

Well, I've been told that most co2 tanks don't make it through hydro. I don't want to spend $30 and risk losing it. One of my friends had his little brother's tank hydrotested that was like 4 years out of date and it passed but when they got it back it was leaking air. But the pro shop fixed it for free because it didn't leak when they left it there to have it hydro tested. |
