Top 5 Must Haves that not everyone already knows about: 1.) Balaclava: getting shot in the neck is arguably one of the most painful places to get pelted; in comparison to the hand and the crotch. There's nice breathable ones with UV protection for not too much out there. 2.) Allen wrench set/Metric and SAE: having the right allen wrenches to adjust your velocity and regulator as well as possibly take apart your gun to clean is indispensable. It is not the field's responsibility to have every allen wrench known to man and lend it out to anyone who asks. Just get your own. 3.) Pod loader: HK makes a nice 1K round loader to speed load your pods. Trying to shove a newly opened bag into the end of a pod with one hand while holding your pod with the other gets really old really fast. 4.) Compression shorts with built in cup: essentially what baseball players wear. If you've never been shot in the crotch with someone who's ramping at max ROF, don't say I didn't try to warn you. 5.) Paintball gloves: they cover your entire hand except your two trigger fingers where the fabric goes up only half way. You're more likely to get shot here than since most people shoot center mass, and most people hold their gun center mass before raising to shoot. Either way, getting a few balls at 290 fps to something as fragile as your knuckle hurts like a mother. Get some gloves.
Thanks alot just went paintballing for the 1st time Father's day enjoyed it brought alot of the wrong protective gear luckily it was through Amazon. any particular brands?
I love paintball a few years ago for Christmas me and my cousins got gun packs and I’ve always wanted to upgrade my gear and get other useful things like a pod pack but the sport is just so expensive but still great sport and great video
i like how their selling point for speedfeeds is you dont want to be left out lmao...or maybe cause youll reload faster and being able to get back to shooting etc or stay on a bunker while reloading with ease ... theres a dozen other reasons that could be used as selling points but he says the whole everyone else has them so you should too thing ..
Yeah, you'll probably lose paint with the strapless. If you dive bad, or are playing very tight it can be pretty easy with a weak pod to pop the lid and spill everywhere, but I've never had a pod come out. As someone who's never been the best at reloading, removing the extra steps of undoing a strap and having a to pop the top of a loader means there's less movement for me to worry about so I can focus less on the reload and more on the game.
I bought a tank from u guys long time ago and it expired in 2013 where in michigan can i get it hydrotested or is it just work buying a new tank idk you tell me
I have a hk pods and pod pack and I’ve had pods still fall out. even them being tight as I can get the pack and I have had lids open from people bumping into me and while sliding. So I’m going to switch to a strap pack.
PHANTOM PUMP MARKER, Barrel Bag, Two POWERLETS, Mask, one dozen ( 12 ) Rounds of paint, hex-key velocity adjuster, GERBER MULTI-TOOL, spare O-rings, set of hex wrenches to fit every screw on your MARKER, spare screws, spare springs, barrel squeege, micro-fiber cloth. Almost forgot- small reeeeeally powerful Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet for when fumbles-me drops a steel part. 10 meter length of #550 PARACORD . AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you should run out of GAS ( CO2 or COMPRESSED AIR ), a can of BEANS to make your own GAS if needed [ I still play with my TIPPMANN C3 ]. I have Pelican Mil-Spec hard cases for my Faves ( e.g. DD68 DESERT DUCK w/ slam changer, Earon Carter Buzzard, Custom ONE-OFF WGP AUTO- COCKER PREDATOR, ONE-OFF PHANTOM SINGLE SHOT DUELING PISTOL sporting AR-15 custom target grips ). When I coached a team, my van was equipped with a lathe, STICK and TIG welder and enough spares that would allow me to build a MARKER TABULA RASA.
I assume we are talking the IR2 as they are similar in price. That's a super tough question both are great. It sort of depends on what you want. The Spire jams less really almost never. The Rotor will jam more it's not like it jams every game I've had mine only jam once or twice in 10 years. The Rotor feeds faster. The Spire is easier to field clean the Rotor is easier to deep clean you just strip it an toss everything but the feed ramp and motor in the dishwasher on the top shelf or in a sink of warm soapy water. For the price of the IR you can get a LTR with a speed feed and it comes with a spring ramp which the Spire that's another $15. So to get them both with ramp and speed feed you are going to pay about $30 more for the Spire. You won't be disappointed either way though.
my friends play rarely so they have basic guns. no speed feed etc. they dont really even know the purpose of a speed feed and so they jam there fingers in my speed feed and make jokes that youtuve wouldnt allow. i cvaught one trying to take my speed feed hopper into the bathroom once. :(
Christ. I'm glad I stopped playing paintball before it got this crazy. This is the equivalent of buying a car but somehow you have to buy the tires, steering wheel, seatbelts, seats, windows, pedals, etc. on top of the price of the car.
No this is buying a car and then getting seat covers, weather proof floor mats, getting the windows tinted, and buying after market wheels. They are nice to have but you can drive a car without them.
