Thanks! I hope pronounced your name correct :)

Thats always good! You cant get much better!

did that help accrucy

Rust, Bad. :)

Yah that how I do I just play walk on games for fun then at the end of the day I use the rest of my paint doing 1v 1 2v2 3v3 or play against my friends in a 3v4 1v2 situation

No

Thanks!

I know it's been a while, but for those still wondering, I would pick something that can shoot the tournament required firing mode/ rate reliably. If you're on a budget, an older ego or dye/proto will do just fine. Just learn to maintain and troubleshoot and make sure you have the essential replacement orings. A good mask, used carbon fiber 4500 tank, reliable loader such as a spire, rotor, or Halo, pod pack that can fit at least 5 pods comfortably, barrel swabs, pod caddy, good cleats, and padded pants. A good head wrap and rags to wipe hits off in between rounds is also very helpful. Hope this helps!

Yes! Very true!

This is old as hell, but ya. It depends on where you're at, just like anything that is skill based. PRML's tip is solid, but doesn't apply to everyone, IMO. A lower level player doesn't know WHAT to focus on. What use is being able to have the muscle memory to snapshoot/lane/etc. when you have no clue of the flow of the game, basic teamwork, etc. Beginner? Just play. You need to get the feel and learn by playing a lot. Beginners should focus on improving solely by playing, and observing. These are the most fun methods, and will encourage people to go further, rather than getting bored and giving up because spending 10 hours on drills didn't do anything to actually make them better. Intermediate? Play a lot, but focus on improving certain things while you play. Don't just blindly play. You get better by focusing, and working on what you're weak at. If you ALWAYS play to your strengths in games, your weaknesses won't improve. Advanced? This is where what PRML's tip comes in. It can benefit everyone, but it'll mostly benefit advanced and intermediate players more-so than beginners. Advanced players already have a solid grasp of the games flow, and the basics. They know what they need to work on. They can figure out what their weaknesses are, and focus train on those specific things, such as snap shooting, leaning, etc. If you're an advanced player, you're looking to improve, not JUST have fun. These drills aren't typically very fun, they're solely to improve, but it's what advanced players need to do.

DukeCityPaintball But you still need to practice! You think basketball players (or any pro athlete) just sit at home and wait till an actual game to learn everything? No they go to *PRACTICE* and do team/individual drills to perfect their craft...

I disagree that’s like telling a young basketball prospect to just play a lot of basketball in order to prepare for D1 ball. Drills are such an important part of development because doing drills in any sport will help you focus on areas that are weak. If you just “play” then often times you won’t be able to scrutinize your own game and really focus on the areas that need improvement.

I've been there... :( Thought of a move, didn't do it and lost...

unless you have a decent job, are able to travel on your own, are on a decent team, and you are done with school (high school and college) you will probably be limited to whatever events your local field puts on.

Louis Wykes are you in the "Buy, Sell &a Trade - Paintball Kit - (UK) " group on Facebook mate? If not go join it and there are plenty of stuff for sale there including markers and mars bars

I do love me a mars bar, I love my gun man, not looking for a change just thought second hand guns isn't a common question!

Depends on if you want a rifle or traditional style

The W is going away for the 2018 season. This was already confirmed by the NCPA who said that the NXL is also dropping the W for 2018.

Lightest tank is going to be the Ninja SL 45/45. The Spire is a great loader, but a bit slower than some of the others. The best value for fast hoppers right now is probably the Z2 only $100 and feed as fast as anything. To me the more important thing about tanks is how it feels on the gun, for the the 45 and 68 are to short. I like the SL 77 and Empire Ultra 80.

Thank you for getting back to me! Love the channel! Keep up the good work.

kobe german dont waist money on 200. If you want stock class buy empire snipers stocktubes. Otherwize go full monty with spire 280

Paul Lopez I don't think there's really a stopping point. Because look at phones for an example. There's always something new about them. Same with paintballs equipment. The EVS already came out with a HUD Display, a lot can go from there. So can with your markers, the boards, etc. I heard some people say it's a dying sport but I see it still growing. I believe it hasn't hit it's peak yet. You can always bring something new to the table.

Until they get electronic targeting systems and balls that have memory shape mechanics. The targeting system will automatically calculate all the variables, adjust air flow and send an electronic signature to the ball. The signature will manipulate it's shape for the perfect trajectory.

Jake Martin why get a new marker lol

If somethi g Works dont cgange it. However reward yourself when you reach a Set goal for exelling in skill

Work on sliding if you are gonna play dorito or snake. Honeslty tho it comes down to game sense and aim. It’s really just fundamentals like aim and sliding, game sense, communication etc. If you have air and paint and somewhere to shoot just find three things to shit at and just go back and forth shooting them and work on snap shooting

There is so much more but if you have those things down you’ll do good regardless

All modern markers will have an HPR which is used to regulate the velocity of the paintballs being fired from the marker. Some paintball markers also have an LPR which is used to control the speed/force of the bolt's movement. (Or in the case of an autococker to control the bolt's movement and the force by which the marker attempts to cock the hammer) It is neither good nor bad if a marker does not have an LPR. Some marker designs require the use of an LPR to function. (Typically stacked tube poppits like Autocockers, Egos, G6Rs, Cyborgs, etc) Spool valves generally do not have LPRs but several companies (Bob Long and Dye) have utilized LPRs in their designs. Bob Long's more recent markers (Insight, Onslaught) have not utilized LPRs. It is a matter of tuneability vs simplicity/reliability.

Yep, Rob pretty much summed it up :)

Fine! :) A lot of people have asked for this, ill whip something together for next week.

At this point I really like the Tippmann TMC or the First Strike T15 if you want to shoot First Strike paintballs.

people are going to sh*t on the etek 3, but its a solid marker. What mask?

SSniper14 PB well i've been told since it used to be a tournament level marker, for the price it was a nice deal the mask is the only shit part, as it is a jt reflex

osacr sanchez buy some profilers or something, it’s a solid mask

buy used

Empire sniper or any midlevel autocoker pump

There is no tuning to be done on Gteks. The dwell setting has no effect on the actual mechanics of the marker.

TheMadman has great planet eclipse tuning videos

price? speedball, recball, or woodsball?

Hahaha damn! I totally forgot! Yes the first sample had a typo, so the shirt that I have has a typo all the one after that are fixed. You just reminded me I never changed the image in the store. 👍

Ah cool, right on, fast reply. Take care

many better options out there...

Lots! I feel like I have covered this in some video, I would say Etha 2 or Axe 2.0

King of fishes 324 funny you say this the very first gun I got was a Victor only time it wouldn't shoot it broke paint once. I just bought the kaos yesterday I'll tell you what I think

tippmann tmc is an excellent starting gun, it runs hopper and magfed, the marker itself is only 200$, reliable and super light!!!! im still using this gun with some attachments and stuff and im no begginer anymore! still a great gun! especially for it's price! the only thing is with the price, the stock,shroud, and magazines are plastic, most mags are anyways i think

Kaos is great and only 100$

koas is a speedball gun and tmc is a rifle more for woodsball

Cole Johnson correct I was just saying because I told him I'd tell him how I liked it when I used it and I used it last week

thats actually worth buying? The pinokio speed

JT Revolution. The "best" is probably the Z2

why z2? They seem a bit fragile. Now that they're the same price as a pinokio speed I might have to get one

yes please!!!

Seconded! good call dude

Yes I'll send u mine to review it just so I can say u had my gun 😂

would like to see that too

I think he already did a Shocker RSX review on his website a while back.

Just wondering whats in the Geo box on your shelf.

Nothing hahaha. Well the case for my 3.5 but other than that nothing :) RSX review is coming....

I do them when I can, I'm not able to get out to the field every weekend though :(

YYYYYYYYYY

Blue Eclipse save $100 and get some vio ascends or a different mask less than $100 and use that money into buying a better tank

7/10 carbon fiber tank pinokio speed (I hate rotors, they just jam constantly) axe is good, but the gtek and etha 2 are just better

@Jaedon Humphrey i was probably trolling or saying that he wasnt posting videos anymore... it was so long ago i dont remember.

I relax too much in regular life, I need the opposite 😃

@@PaintballRuinedMyLife Haha that I can relate too, I guess I'm just an all around lazy person even on the field because most the time I'm designated support cause my gun has the longest range

Im not really a fan. I think in the used G5 price, I would look for an Axe or Mini GS.

+Paintball Ruined My Life Or a used DM6/PM6/Shocker NXT/JT Impulse. All top of the line and are still able to compete with more modern markers
