Background: On May 23rd, I woke up, and decided that I was going to sell my Strange Shocker, and listed it at the ridiculous price of 550.00. I post a thread, and go out to meet my brother for lunch. I come home, and some one says they'll take it for the full price. Ten minutes later, I have give or take 550.00 in my Paypal account. I then decide to post a WTB thread on PBNation, saying that I have 500.00 to spend on a Vice. 15 minutes later, a local MN paintballer that I've met at the field once or twice as an aqquaintance calls me and says that he is quitting due to a major back injury, and that he has what I'm looking for, a gloss black Vice for 500.00, used in one tournament. After quickly talking things over, I tell him I only have 482.00 because I just paid for the iPhone 3G bill. He says not to worry about it, because he needs money for his bike project. In less than 1 hour, my Shocker sells, and I buy a Vice. Fast forward two days, and I receive a Vice in the mail. Being the nice guy he was, he included the 4CS eyes, and some extra o-rings and what not. At 482.00 for a nearly brand new Vice, I would say it was a steal.  Pictures: Here are some pictures from today taken on my Canon Rebel XT.      My current setup is comprised of: 2008 Bob Long Vice - 10 BPS Flash - Stock other than 4CS Viewloader XSV Vlocity - Code Battery Pack - Gangstar V2 Chip - Virtue Crown - Cut and Shaved Feedneck PMI 72/45 Tank - Guerrilla Air Myth Regulator with Micro Myth Fill Nipple and Gauge - NXE Tank Cover Future Plans: The Vice is already amazing as it is, I would get an LP poppit, but I don't care enough to spend money on one. The stock board is fine, and most of the gun is already top knotch. I don't see a need to upgrade to an OLED, I'm going to keep it as it is, with mostly factory parts. The only plans I have are to make a faux Ego style bolt pin, and get a black Bob Long Gear Drive ASA. Closing: Enjoy, guys! Comments are appreciated! - Stephen

| If anyone'd like to answer this(or give me some direction). What exactly is a Vice and why would it be any more desirable than a shocker? Btw, nice gun thar. |

Nice looking gun. I'll own a BL gun someday. ------------- Pumpker'd; (V.) When a pump player runs up and shoots you at point blank range because you thought 20bps made you good. |
