No flame please?  Too bad.  You post, you get flamed.

YOU MORON!  Yes, Kenny Walker was cut by the Knicks.  I think he's
playing in Spain or Italy or somewhere.  But Kenny Walker played with
a lot of heart, desire, and energy for the Knicks.  He didn't live up
to the potential he had in college (Kentucky?).  He was a marginal
player who had occasional flashes of brilliance.  Not an All-Star.
But he deserved to be in the NBA as much as (or more than) some other
losers currently on NBA rosters.

I played in a tournament this weekend and was completely surrounded by
Automags the entire day. The paint of the day was squashed boxes of
pink Ultra 98. I couldn't get my. 68 Specail to chrone wihtout breaking
balls. Well it was back to case for old reliable Bud Orr Sniper.

To get to the point I eliminated and/or brushed off numerous semi's
with what one Automagger called a Dinosaur. I picked him off at least
40 yards a way standing out playing hoseball. Semi's can make a player
better in this "SPORT" but, there are many other skills that need to be
developed that are taught by using a splat or pump.

The biggest bunch of whiners and babies were the guys toting semi's
playing hose ball that were eliminated by a pump. Not even a handshake
or "good game". Definitely taking the "GAME" to serious. To you guys,
semi's do not make you invincible.

Speaking of liquid-control valves...  How many Automag people have had
experiences playing with one in cold weather??  I was speaking for a long
time with one of the techies at Airgun Designs and he said "they are garbage"
(liquid control valves) when I mentioned it.  He said their(A.D's) best
results came out of just using gas, and not anything else.. (anti-siphon,
liquid-control, etc...)  He said that most of the people at the factory
simply have lots of extra hosing.(which works as an expansion chamber of sorts)
He went on to say that the Automag would be the BEST gun to use with a twin
tank setup like those you see on PMI-IIIs...  I personally wouldn't go for
that, since that would throw all sorts of balance and weight problems onto
a Mag.... but then again.. that is only me opinion.. (And apparently all of
Airgun Designs people if they only use extra hosing...)   Well.. I digress..
Once again... what do people have to say about liquid control valves?? The
techie claimed that it allowed more liquid to get into the gun than not...
Words??? Comments??? Anyone???

Assuming he is mild mannered to begin with, I say it would be pent up

Apologizing was the right thing to do, but unfortunately after being lit up
and after-the-fact apology does tend to sound hollow.  Any person in his
right mind, after getting lit up at close range would curse and turn angry.
Your ROF certainly contribute to his anger.  How about consciously be concern
about your rate of fire?  I try to limit myself to 3 round burst knowing what
its like to be lit up.  If I'm in a situation where I have to use hopper after
hopper of paint to nail a well concealed opponent, I tend to move and flank
until I get an open shot or flush him/her out into the open.  Use less paint
and more tactics.  Pause between bursts to give reasonable time to surrender
or check oneself for paint.

From the time I resumed paintball, year and a half ago, I have witness two
fights and more than one intense argument all attributed to a player being
lit up.  One fight, which both parties were thrown off the field by a judge,
resumed in the parking lot of the field.  It ended with friends separating the
two while exchanging/boasting death threats and fight invitations.  I seen 
players incurring more serious bruises and welts from one fire-fight than I have
from playing an entire day (pump and stock).  Unless people show more constraint
and wisdom behind pulling the trigger I think confrontations from being lit up
will rise.

Yes, this gun actually exists.  I believe it was called the Mac 85 or Mod
85, something like that.  It's pretty much outlawed on most of the fields
in the area.

first rule:  NEVER TOUCH THE INNER LENS!  try and cover the inner lens with

Then you just remove the o-rings from the upper tabs and muscle the tabs out
of their notches.  The ffit is very tight, but you should't damage anything.
I have had about 5 or 6 different lenses in my Scotts (trying out different

I recently had a friend catch a shot in the throat, not that unusual bar the 
fact that he was wearing the VENTS predator w/armor. The ball blew right 
through the throat guard. The gun was chrono'd and was shooting at about 285 
fps.

I was just about to purchase the vents, and was wondering if buying the armor 
is just a waste of time? I was considering cutting camo netting to fit the 
armor pieces and stapling it on. Does anyone have and

    I've been told that you can clean the holes out by placing your hand
over the end of the barrel and firing a couple of times (be sure to
empty the chamber (by turning gun upside down) first :).  The CO2 can't
get out the front so it goes only thru the holes and takes most of the
paint with it.  What is left won't affect the barrel and can be taken
out during routine cleaning after the game.

Are you serious??? You have a silencer on the end of a Smart Parts barrel??
What is the overall length of your gun???  Just seems to be slightly silly
