I buy paintballs and most of my other equipment from a mail order
company in Georgia.  They are called DRACO 1-800-642-5039 and
usually have the best prices.  I get my orders within a week and
have never had any problems with them.  Last time I checked,
DRACO had a special on paint (a 2500 round case of R.P.Sherer
or Nelson for $110, others for less) and some other stuff.

BTW, are you any kin to Nancy Nowicki?  She used to work in the
same department here at Auburn.

What do you think?? Annoying?

  Well, I would like to thank everyone for their response to my post
asking for the fair value of my NEVER BEEN USED PMI 2.  Everyone was
very helpful.  I am going to be asking just under the average ofthe
quotes everyone gave me which is $150.00.  I am doing this because I 
want to just get rid of the thing (and pay off my credit card).

  Once again, the PMI 2 is a pistol paintgun with ~12in barrel. 
It is all black and has never been fired.  The plastic  ring is still
on the trigger assembly.  I am selling it because I bought it a few
years ago (for well over $200) and was accepted to school at the same time
and just lost interest.  From everyone's response, this is a very
durable and accurate gun.  It can be fitted with all sorts of neat
options too. It comes with a 7oz. back bottle and the squeegee.  It is
still in it's box as well.

  I also have a safety mask as well.  It covers the ears and
temples as well as the whole face.  The fog resistant goggles can
be replaced.  This is held on by a thick elastic band.  This too
has not been used and is still brand new.  If you like your face,
you need this mask.  $29.00

  I also have a sniper veil.  It is camouflage green and adds
quite a nice touch.  I'll give this away with the gun.

Though I have not bought one for myself, I am sticking with the F1 that I have
now.  One part that they changed was moving the cocking arm to the top of the
gun, thus making red-dot usage all but impossible(I guess you can use sight
rails).   The local P-ball store here has sold _ZERO_ and they have been in
for a month or 2.  After all, when you have the best, why look for something
else! ;-)  Anyway, anyone else used one have any comments?  Just wanting to
see what general thoughts are on the gun.

I have been told:

	"Until your illustrator starts giving you problems, dont bother"

The fix is changing from a 1 or 2 ringed pressure cocker to a 3 ringed one.  
Wastes more
CO2 to recock the gun.  Not a worthwhile fix until you have problems.  You
can always
get the 5 dollar part and keep it in your case or on your gun if you are on
the field and change
when you notice the problem.

Yup...The cocking arm is the same, but it is on the top of the gun.  You cant
put a standard red-dot on it w/out some special adapter(which im sure Direct
Connect sells) that raises the sight above the arm.  From what the local P-ball
store here says, they might switch back to making F-1's simply b/c of the 
lack-luster response.  Anyway,  other than that, and a few other minor changes
the F-1 is about the same as an F-2.....

JT make rigid armor in both bright colors and an olive drab.  Vents also
makes armor but as was previously mentioned it is a semi rigid neoprene
like the suff for their head gear.
    pro's of armor:
         *Good protection from both the pain of getting hit and running around
         *Great for indoor or close play conditions
         *Good for women (chest area)

    Con's of armor:
         *The ball is sure to break if you like to play bounces ie:
tournaments forget it.
         *You may not know that you have been hit and continue to play
on accident pissing people off

   I finally saw an F-2 a couple of days ago and I agree, not much
   improvement over the F-1.  It seemed to shoot just the same in terms
   of what the paintball does, but it made an annoying ping right next
   to my ear as if someone was tapping on the bottle with a small hammer
   at each shot.  The velocity adjustments are more convenient, but
   I didn't see any reason to trade in my F-1.  Too bad, they had
   plently of time to make major improvements.

Well, I just bought a new (used) paintgun.  An older Phantom without
the removeable barrel.  The same day I ordered and Ultra-Dot sight to 
put on my Automag.  The sight is nice on the Mag and you use both
eyes (or one) to see the red dot on your target.  But after walking
down to the shooting range.  I really think I am going to put the sight
on my Phantom.  This guns accuracy is amazing.  It just blow the mind on
how straight it shoots for a paintgun.  From ranges of 25ft to 125ft I walked
the body sized targets, hitting in the head with only one shot every time.

This was without raising the gun above the target for the far target (for the
arc)  It just didn't seem to need it.  And yes I got the gun for $150.00 USD.

If you can ever find a deal like this take it, the Phantom lives up to the
name that I had heard about.  And the AutoMag, simply scares the HELL out
of people.

The company that sells the Vents Predator mask also sells body armor made out of
the same foam stuff that their mask's head armor is made of.  I think you can

Maybe I'm about to look like a fool, but it seems to me that a zero groove
valve pin would effectivly turn the gun into a pump.  My understandung of the
operation is that more co2 is allowed to push the striker back into a cocked
position when you have more groves in the valve pin.  A zero pin would not
allow any co2 to reach the striker and you would have to cock the gun after
each time you fire it.

Second, could you give me an address or phone number that I can use to check
into this new bolt for the F-1.  I'd love to find out more about it.
