We got our CO2 filled up and..... I guess you arn't suppose to play in cold weather right afetr getting ur CO2 filled up

4 out the 6 guns shut down due to the cold CO2.

Mine and another guys were good so we playing civil war and just went out into an open feild... stood 30 feet apart and shot each other till a head shot or out of ammo.

It was fun and everyone just kind of took turns.

Cold day.... but fun none the less.

what markers were you using?

Jordan55 · #**102** 12/04/2005, 08:19 PM

Okay... I didn't think it was new but I was just checking.

Dream tank:

Well I would like 3.

First off- I would like a custom built angler tank. I would have 2 of the same spieces anglers.... probably wartskin. It would be a 20 gallon or so tank measuring higher then longer. Corals would be all zoos and ricordea/yumas.

Second- A 30-40 custom tank. Atleast 18 inches in height but not too short. I would have 2 pair of Sea Horses and a couple smaller speices of pipes. No corals. Just lots of nice natural looking macro and gorgonians.

Third and lastly- A 25 ish gallon. Fish would be 2 blue spot jawfish, a nice small wrasse and 2 percula clowns with rose anenome. Have all nice bright corals like open brains, a few frogspawns/hammers, maybe a few bright soft corals.

All be seperate tannks and have easy equipment.... no fuge or sumps. Just heaters, pumps, and lights.

I love smaller tanks

4 people were using tippmans. I had a Sypder Shutter (love it) and some other kid had a Spyder.

Mine and a tippman were working.

I asked for this for xmas--- http://www.xtremez.com/paintball/pro...k=yes&dept=412

hmm my dads tippman works very well in the winter, but he does use air instead of c02. That barrel is way to long, go for the 16" all american

Jordan55 · #**105** 12/05/2005, 03:02 PM

Hell no dude.

I want a 20.

I have a nice 14 right now but I would like to carry boht me when I am playing so I can switch in times of need.

peacetypes6 · #**106** 12/05/2005, 03:54 PM

what are you going to do with a 20 inch barrel? sure cant play speedball with that unless you stand in the back.

Jordan55 · #**107** 12/05/2005, 06:00 PM

Where I play, you don't play speed ball. It is all tatical paintball consisting of 2 open feilds and 2 wooded feilds. So a 20 inch barrel would come in use when you see oponents a 100 yards away.

peacetypes6 · #**108** 12/05/2005, 06:07 PM

100 yards away? thats far.

Jordan55 · #**109** 12/05/2005, 07:07 PM

If you are being sarcastic-- Try hitting a guy 1000 yards away with a 14 inch barrel.

If you are being serious-- A 20 inch barrel would have a lot more luck hitting a guy 100 yards away than 14 inch.

peacetypes6 · #**110** 12/05/2005, 07:16 PM

Where can i get a paintball gun that shoots 1000 yards? Without being sarcastic.

Jordan55 · #**111** 12/05/2005, 07:39 PM

Sorry I meant 100 yards away.

You think you can accuratly hit a guy 100 yards away without shooting all the over the place? With a 20 inch barrel you are far more likely to hit a guy in less shots farer away than a 14 inch barrel.

Plus for 45$.... why not?

Billy1234 · #**112** 12/05/2005, 07:55 PM

Finally some snow.. I heard 5-7 inches where I am. Lets hope I have a Snow-Day

tsquad · #**113** 12/05/2005, 08:03 PM

We're only getting an inch..

Billy1234 · #**114** 12/05/2005, 08:24 PM

I was just watching the weather channel and now they are saying 3-5 inches. . . hopefully I still won't have school, because people come from all over Long Island, so they are more likely to close.

This has nothing to do with anything (if that made sense) but, how come no matter how many posts I make, it still stays the same at 134?

tsquad · #**115** 12/05/2005, 08:35 PM

Lounge posts don't count. I would have around 5,000ish if they did.

Billy1234 · #**116** 12/05/2005, 08:39 PM

Ah, thank you.

at 100yrds, youre still going to go through a hopper or more and may not even hit a person.

Jordan55 · #**118** 12/05/2005, 09:49 PM

Ok well bottom line is.... the longer your barrel the more precise you can hit a target without using as much ammo. Wether it be 100 yards or 10 yards.

Wee Man · #**119** 12/05/2005, 09:58 PM

AIRSOFT

im just getting into air soft, only problem is we play shirtless and it a bit cold for that. but id play airsoft over paintball in the summer.

Jordan55 · #**122** 12/05/2005, 10:15 PM

I think paintball is alot more fun than airsoft.

Airsoft is fun just to get up and goof around with out of immediate interest. Thing I hate is you can run 5 feet from the person and dive around... which can be fun, but you don't have as much fun when talking about defenses.

I like paintball more because it so tactical and you try not get shot more than you do in airsoft. You can do so much more with it in terms of gun and courses.

Wee Man · #**123** 12/05/2005, 10:15 PM

yeah for chrstmas hopefully im getting a tanaka k98 gas, 550fps out of the box, upgrade that with a tightbore and you have a borderline deadly weapon.

yeah people dont really know it yet, but airsoft is alot more versatile than paintball. almost every gun (excluding the crap springers you can buy at wal-mart) can be upgraded to a ridiculous degree. its just such an overlooked sport. hopefully it will be as big as paintball one day though.

Jordan55 · #**124** 12/05/2005, 10:22 PM

In now way am i dissing airsoft... I just think personally paintball is more fun.

From my point of veiw... I am noit a guy who starts a match and runs around wasting ammo... I am very tatical and love making it seem like real life.

I think though if you airsoft.... you should have atleast paintballed once in you life... or your a chicken.

Wee Man · #**125** 12/05/2005, 10:56 PM

yeah ive paintballed before lol, im not saying it wasnt fun, its just something about a guy running at me with a device that looks like a cross between a vacuum cleaner and a gumball machine just isnt very threatening.

but as long as you are tactical about whatever you do and dont run around like a chicken with your head cut off im happy.
