So...My kids dragged me into woodball. Well, woodball behind our house. They have A5's and because they didn't want Dad to have the same I wound up getting the Project Salvo. Trained in the military on AR's so the feel was right. That was about two weeks ago. Now, I have already put a Cyclone feed on my PS. I am going by the local field/pro center this afternoon to get my e-grip....and am headed to a gunshow Sunday for some good iron sights and see-thru rail riser..... ....Not to mention bidding and winning a new Tippmann TPX.....or pickup up a BT-4 (really cheap) for my daughter to play in the woods with us.... Crap...I thought my real guns were addictive. Jay ------------- What part of 'shut up' are you not getting? |

It only gets worse. One person really doesn't need as many markers as I have, but I can't help myself. Of course, there are the justifications:

Hi, I'm Don, and I've got a problem. I've got around 7 functioning markers, and well upwards of 15 projects. Many of them very rare. I've got a gun that cost me $1,110 stock and it's a pump pistol that shoots 10 round tubes and is run on 12g's. I just bought two more markers in as many days, and I'm paid in full for the new Tippmann SL-68 II that's coming in just about a month. I'm currently looking at Intimidators and Matrices. All in all, I've got more money tied up into paintball than my car is worth. And you think you have problems... ------------- Evil Elvis: "Detrevni is definally like a hillbilly hippy from hell"

Yeah, I was all hot for an Apex or Flatline....till I used my son's and found out the downside. Accuracy suffers. I have a 20" sniper barrel I am playing with now...(I know..more than 16" is a waste) but I like the look of it on the PJ. Well...headed to the gunshow....

QFT. (He's got me beat; Only 11 functioning markers, three of which are slated for modifications, and two non-functional projects. Plus, being cheap, most of my "antiques" are of the less expensive variety) Edited Note: Upon reconsideration, I realized, embarrassingly enough, that I actually have no idea how many markers I have. (I do know I forgot to count at least one.) -------------

I once cleaned my room and found a LaSoya Promaster I completely forgot I had.

Snerk. I believe I have 7 functioning, one ancient Stingray I that hasnt even been cocked in years, a Sheridan JTX without a grip, and a couple other in-pieces guns. Not to mention the Autococker probably has upwards of 50 hours of custom work in it. No telling on the spyder and carbine as well. I think the only untouched bone-stock gun I own is the 98 Platinum, Im not about to mess with a gun with no serial number (Mmmm pre-release) -------------

| I'm off to a bad, I mean good start. LOL Paintball gun count is 7 between myself and son, and we've only been playing since July! Mostly older pumps we picked up cheap, but I got us each a brand new Custom 98 last month, and now it's a competition to see who can mod theirs the most. |
