ahhhhhhhh...i hate the word "sniper", but coming from nauzerlvr i will let it go .
it looks like it would work well in early fall, with some orange leaves
on the ground and trees but still some green around. i cant say i agree
with scope and bipod (no functionality at all, whatsoever) but i realize its a milsim.

I use different techniques, sometimes airbrush, sometimes spray cans, sometimes sponges...drybrushing, or combinations of them all. I get tired of all the black all the time and like to do different things. Camoflague fascinates me. For some reason, it's extremely interesting, the history and all. -------------

Are you asking me do divulge my secrets? The ones I guard with my life? I guess you won't believe magic, huh? Actually, it's extremely easy if you have some spray paint in various "earthy" colors and some bushes in your backyard....pull some small leafy branches from a bush and spray through them, just a blast here and there. change colors and do it all again, etc.....with a little practice you'll get it. -------------

Wrong! No flame stencil, but that is a pretty good idea. I picked some leaves off a bush in my backyard and sprayed through them with several colors to get the "Haloesque Kalideoscope" scheme. I've been experimenting with new camo schemes and techniques lately. some have been pretty interesting...... The paintwork on the truck is outstanding! Fantastic job! -------------

The "orange" is actually a terra cotta color, much like the red clay around parts of Mississippi. In reality it's not a orange as it appears in the photos but more of a clay color. The scope is excellent and it didn't cost much. There's not a lot you can do to a Pro Carbine. -------------

The tank has a cap that goes on the end that makes it function as a stock and actually works pretty well for what it is. -------------

A buddy gave me the Pro Carbine because it "wouldn't shoot." I cleaned out 11 paintballs from the barrel and it shot fine! If you know me, you'll know the gun was not going to remain stone stock for long! This is the result of about two hours work on a stock Pro Carbine....we'll have to see what else happens to it...right now it's just a mutt. -------------

It's as accurate as any paintball gun...which is to say, it's no "long range" gun. I understand the controvrersy surrounding the use of the word "sniper" here and elsewhere but it's just a word. The dictionary defines "sniper" as "a marksman that shoots from a concealed position." There are other definations the go into much more detail including the "long range" and "expert in field craft" aspects. We use the term "MilSim" meaning "military simulation" because we are "simulating" firefights and military operations - and at the same time simulate the use of "snipers." Of course these "snipers" aren't experts at anything military (in most cases that is) including "field craft", weaponry or "marksmanship" and to even entertain thoughts of a paintball gun capable of hitting a target at 1000 yards or more is laughable. It's a game, a simulation - nothing more, nothing less. In that context - I use the term "sniper" as a descriptive term for a player acting in that role in a simulated battle. Hence this Pro Carbine is intended to represent a weapon used by that player. I hope this clears up my reasoning for the use of the term in this context. -------------

The way it's set up allows the tank to double as a stock with the shoulder cap attached. It actually works quite well . Who sells a pro carbine stock? -------------

ill put up some pics when its done.. also, nauzer, do you clearcoat your guns? what kind do you use, because i bought some but it doesnt say if its matte or not, which is what I want. Any ideas? |
