Very nice ION too

Thanks a lot. I really put a lot of time, thought and of course money into it and hearing people compliment my gun makes it all worth it.

Is this club starting up again? ... well good cause were getting our summer team back together once our nearby field opens up i think in april

It's kinda starting up again I guess. I'm going to try and recruit more people by adding this club in my sig.

Yea i know... you shouldve went indoor during the winter, but our indoor field went to new ownership, and i no longer like it. Plus saving money :D

Indoor isn't for everybody. A lot of indoor places I just refuse to go to because I know some dirt bags steal shit from other players and the prices can get a little ridiculous, especially if you go every week or even every other week. Some people just prefer outdoors and that's fine. You'll have plenty of time to play in no time.

ive got a site for you guys, its pretty decent

http://www.tippmann.com/Brigade.aspx

its something to keep track of your games, you get discounts, when you sign up, enter this in your referral, if you don't mind 153105

oh, and in response to your other post

we were in woodland, it was one guy, in ghillie, this mod really is intended for woodland
but then again we have a hard enough time finding this guy in normal camo, he's so good at it

heh, only reason i saw him at all is because he moved slightly to shoot me

this posting and forgetting some stuff is really annoying, i hope i stop soon

Yea, im so excited, during the summer me and my friend nick have a tradition to go up his lakehouse at least 3 or 4 times in the summer and go to Skirmish in PA. Costs so much money, but the new additions that theyre adding on to it, i think its definetly goign to start being so much more worth the cost.

When I used to play at E-Jam last year, the indoor arena, twice was paint stolen from me. I stopped going there once summer began. Now theyre under new ownership, but i'm pretty sure the same teams are still playing there.

By any chance do you play tourney ball? I've never actually gotten the hole entire crew up into praticing for tournaments. We've always just gone once a week just to meet up and have fun.

Sorry, didnt get to add this before, my other computer doesn't have this website working "cleanly" and... such.

Sounds like a lot of fun. I've always loved Skirmish. It's probably the best outdoor place I ever went to. I usually only go for D-Day and maybe one or two other times out of the whole year, but it's always worth going.

Yeah, I had a lot of problems with people stealing my shit at indoor places too. I think I lost about $250 of equipment (Dye invision i3 and E-Vents goggles along with a lot of pods, mostly Dye lock-lids) and at least $300 in paint, not at the same time of course, but it's still a shit load. The only time I ever go indoors now is for a big tourney or when my friends are working at the place.

Yeah, I play on an amature team with my Ion, haha. It sounds bad, but it's lighter than most Proto PM's and faster that any stock gun. It's a bit smaller than the average Timmy and with better air efficiency thanks to a Dye Hyper 2 reg and a Lucky firing chamber/bolt upgrade and a CP ASA. There's a pic and description in my profile. Oh, and please consider my advice on this one - Don't try to start a tourney team with friends that aren't really serious about paintball. Then you get mad at them, they get mad at you for getting mad at them, and it's just a big mess. Stick to having fun now, you have plenty of time to get into tourneys later, don't rush anything now.

indoors is a little rough, although it can be fun...

on a lighter note, i got the collapseable car stock for my 98 custom, awesome!

Yep, had that all happen on the first team I ever joined.

Sure am, I mean, I wouldn't be able to keep up anyway, My DP is missing its ball detents, and there isn't any place that can just send me two metal balls smaller than a finger nail...

But it's always fun owning people with Tippy's!

Wow, that kinda sucks ass.

Yeah it is! I honestly think that a Tippmann is one of - of not the most - fun to shoot. With my gun, as well as almost every other gun I guess, you don't really FEEL the power. With a Tippmann I just feel like I'm shooting farther and more accurate, even though my Ion has a good 30-50 feet on it and is easily twice as accurate, but it FEELS like that, lol.

and it can make a nice metallic sound when you fire

I demand pictures. I also got to finally taking a picture of my vest. I ordered my Woodland Camo BDUs, which I should be getting soon (hopefully). So right now, I gotta play in my jeans.

Bonus: action shots.

i'll dig out my scanner tomorrow, i had to send it back, i needed the one that was ACT compatable

i hated playing today (which will be over in 3 minutes) played against a group all partying a guys birthdays, they wiped, shot point blank repeatedly, went around the boundry to shoot us, ect...

and of course that made no goddamn sense

had to send the STOCK back, because it was not compatible with the MARKER

the SCANNER is buried somewhere

that should clear it up, note the points of interest

Looks nice. I don't know that much about vests just because I'm not a scenario player, mostly tourneys and X-ball. But it looks like it can hold everything that you'd need.

I remembered when I had to play in jeans. Maybe 2 times until I realized how important padded paintball pants are. They always ripped and got dirty to the point where I couldn't even clean them. Surprisingly, even back then (when I was like 11) I was fairly aggressive and loved sliding into bunkers. Those were the good old days, not a care in the world, just playing paintball for fun with your friends.

Can't wait until my 08 Proto pants come. Getting them in olive, obviously, to match my jersey, goggles and of course gun. I've been stuck with the 06 pants for the past 2 years because I didn't like how the 07's looked. They help up great, though. Going about 20-30 times a year and no rips or paint or grass or even mud stains.

Alright I'm in a bit of a bind here and need some of your opinions. I recently ordered some Proto 08 Olive pants. I came home, saw the box, brought it inside, and cut the box open. And what I saw made me scream! It was JT PRO PANTS! FUCK! Now, I know that they retail for about $40 more than the Proto's that I originally ordered, but all of my apparel is Proto, so I don't want to use the JT pants, even if they retail higher and used by my favorite team, Dynasty. Plus, I actually like the design this year. Way better than the 07's.

Now, I know that I can sell them for $120 at the least, then buy the pants I wanted, but heres the catch. I'm playing this weekend and I don't think I will be able to get the pants in time for Saturday or Sunday at the latest. I would really rather have the Protos, as I am a huge follower of them and love their products.

So here are my options:

1. Play in the JT pants. They are olive and my size, so it isn't THAT bad.

2. Return the pants and ask for them to ship me what I ordered very quickly.

3. Sell the JT pants and go buy the Proto pants at a local shop (Overpriced)

4. Order the Proto pants now, sell the JT pants later. Hopefully the ones I ordered will come fast.

5. Play in the 06 Proto pants for this weekend, sell the JT pants for about $120 or $130, then get the 08 Proto pants.

What do you think?

play in the JT, its what i would do, if its more expensive, hell, might as well keep it

Sigh, that's such a typical response. You people always just assume that the more expensive pants are better. The only things I look for in pants is light weight, good ventilation, light weight and strong enough padding and seams so that they won't rip. The difference between the 2 are so minuscule, that I doubt that I would even notice, and I notice everything from an upgraded board to a new bolt, so that's saying a lot.

Sorry, but do you own paintball pants at all? It seems that the only people who say 'Take the more expensive one' don't have a clue what they are talking about, no offense or anything. It's just that the backing you gave for your choice is an inexperienced and ignorant reason. Just because something is more expensive doesn't make it better by any means.

Oh, and I returned them instead of selling them. I kind of regret it now, though. I just didn't like the design of the JT's at all.

heh, nope, probably wasn't a good idea for me to respond at all, but i've seen reviews that they were good, thats it really...

and good point, i own a tippmann 98, and i can still keep 5-6 guys back an entire woodsball game with it, even if there all hammering me, so price isn't everything

ah, well, only other reason i could think of keeping the pants, trousers, whatever, is if you wanted to play in the latest gear on that weekend, without any risk of you not having the latest gear

gah, snype, i WILL get those pics up soon

Finally a group for me, I play paintball and own a tippmann a-5 w/ e-grip.

Yeah, but you can't really listen to people's reviews for most things. Perfect example : I own an Ion and still compete in Amature paintball tournaments and do good. 'Good' being more kills than deaths, and for a front player, that's great. They said 'No way will anyone above novice use an Ion, they aren't good enough.' Right to an extent, but my Ion is faster than a DM6, lighter than a Timmy, and smaller than an Angel 05 speed.

Exactly. It isn't the gun, it's the player. But I'd be just full of shit if I told you the marker didn't help.

I really did want to play in the newest, best gear, just not in JT gear. I have nothing against JT, in fact, my first gun ever was a JT Excellorator (SP?) 6.0. I just have a really nice Proto jersey and wear a lot of Proto T's, so I would only want to play in Proto pants.

Cool . Welcome to the club! It might be a good idea to put a link to this club in your sig, to get more people to join.

yeah, but ions are cool, and can be converted into awesome woodsball gear aswell if speedball becomes boring

heres a link to pics i know, its hard to believe that these are ions

I laughed so hard at that, lol. Speedball boring? Pfft!!! Good joke.

gah, i find it ok,but, i personally prefer woodsball myself, i have no idea why all the local speedball players (about 2 or 3, they have to travel quite a ways to the nearest field) laugh at me when i'm in my camo, its great fun!

The general idea of all paintball players is that speedball players will always be better than woodsball players. I play mostly speedball, but every now and then I play some woodsball to relax and get my mind off of all the pressure of tourney ball. I go to a few different outdoor fields and sorry, but I have to say that speedball players are the better of the two categories. They are just laughing at you to make them feel better about themselves. Personally, I respect just about all players. Anyone who is willing to go onto a field with paintballs flying at 240 - 290 fps is respected in my eyes, unless they are the type who just hide behind a bunker and do shit because they are afraid to get shot.

hey guys, i was thinking about getting a kwa m4. what do you guys think?

sorry noobhater, can't help you, not an airsoft guy

i see your point hell frog, speedball players are in the shit from the start of play, but try playing 100 a side woodsball on a field only 3 times as big as a speedball field, its insaaaaneeee!

and i hate people who stay in there starting bunkers aswell, it annoys the hell out of me, unless people are taking turns defending, you shouldn't stay back just because you don't want to get shot, if you didn't want that, don't play, because i WILL shoot you, especially if i want to hang that flag myself

that said, if there first timers, i can understand it, but for a few games only, after getting shot a few times you get used to it, but then again, its all dependant on how and where you got hit, the first time you were hit, i withstood a barrage of fire from a bunch of assholes after i was out because they thought it was funny, but if i took that the first time i ever got shot, i wouldn't want to play again

one quick edit to my last post, i will shoot people on the OTHER team if there hiding behind there starting bunkers, if its on my team, i'll ask them to follow me, that way they'll get to follow someone who knows the fields, get a shot at the enemy learn some decent tactics

(theres one woodsball one i won't tell to everybody, but its good for woodsball games, pm me if you want to know, its the one that lets me hold back 5-6 guys)

and most importantly learn some tips ive picked up off the marshalls

(with flag match's you can make a cape out of the flag, if your hit on the flag while running back, it dosn't count, the flag isn't you)

i like helping people out on the field, and it brings me one step closer every time to the marshalls letting me use my own paint

(why i write all that, i don't know, i just let my hands flow)

Trust me, I've played in WAY bigger woodsball games that you could possibly imagine. I got to D-Day every year and the Cousin's big game. Just because I prefer speedball doesn't mean I don't like to mess around in the woods :P

Warning : The following is a long ass post about a big ass woodsball game. You have been warned.

The Big Game had over 2,500 players this year. That's over 1,200 players a team! What they did was they made all the fields one, basically. This field is 88 acres and consisted of 9 major sections, though they were all on one huge ass field. The 2 teams, Red and Blue, were split into 3 groups each. They each started with 3 Territories that gained the team 1, 2 or 3 points for every minute held. The 3 pointers were in the middle, where no one controlled at the start, and the teams started with 2 Territories worth 1 point a minute and 1 Territory worth 2 point a minute. There were also special missions that you could do for extra points. There were these Ammo Boxes that were worth 50 points each AND you got a prize for returning them. I returned 2 and got a full bag of field paint (like $30 bucks worth =/) and a smoke grenade. What was even more interesting was there was tanks and a helicopter! If one team got all the required materials, they can call in an airstrike for a good 10 minutes of constant shooting at the other team. What sucked was that you couldn't shoot back. Then the tanks...ohhhh the tanks...They just came whenever the fuck they wanted to. The only way to 'kill' a tank is to shoot it with a Rocket Launcher, which was only given to one person per team. Or a grenade would immobilize it for 5 minutes, still being able to shoot.

And the moral of the story is, of course I can't ever be killed in a woodsball game, even though there were other Amature teams there and a good amount of Novice teams that had good sponsors. I don't think I need to even say anything about D-Day. If you live in the Northeastern U.S. you should know.

nope, don't know, south-east britain

and 1200 a side? thats unheard of here, but mainly because its in the middle of nowhere, but its a good place to go and gets roughly 50 players, keeps it even for the fields, room to move

failing that, there 100 a side games do get kinda cramped, but its fun

woah, hey Airsoft is the sickness, my brother owns (I use) two glocks one is the restricted in Canada (Police use it though) glock, and the other one is green. Both are gas-blowback.

I'm in the market for a decent electric auto, most wanted is a P90 (non-TR) Right now I don't care if it's a TM or a CA or what ever, it's just so difficult to find any fair priced asg in Canada and it's near impossible to import due to customs

Well it was 2,500 people over 88 acres of woods, so not cramped at all if that's what you were saying.
