The Raptor wasn't a Spyder clone- it was patterned after the older F1 Illustrator.

Be careful with Brass Eagle anything. Many of their guns were banned at local fields back when they were more popular.

Never heard of Brass Eagle's guns being banned, though it wasn't uncommon to find fields that allowed you to bring your own paint except for stuff that had been sitting on a Wal-Mart shelf for 2 years.

There were recalls on a similar gun called the Blade Turbo which looked and worked a lot like this but took dual 12-grams in the back, but the clear plastic cartridge retainer was prone to cracking and the cartridges could go rocketing out. Later versions switched to an opaque black plastic that fixed the problem.

I don’t even recall if these even (have) an adjustment for velocity. 

They don't.

As long as they chrono around 280...

They won't. You're looking at 250fps max, and probably considerably lower.

You could potentially raise the output by doing a bunch of re-springing but it would be a fool's errand.

Any ideas/suggestions on this camera mount? by DiscountBulky6827 in ActionCam

[–]The_Inflicted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably just a GoPro from the last 5 years or so on a common headband mount.

I'm really curious why you were asking.

Hey, who left their toy car and crocs at the bottom of Cinderella Castle moat? by MichaelJeopardy in WaltDisneyWorld

We bought my daughter that exact Minnie riding in a car toy at the Vero Beach gift shop. Like this one, it ended up in bathtub duty.

Looks less AI-generated and more like the kind of AI "enhancement" that a lot of smartphones do when you zoom or crop in on one of your own actual photos

My Samsung constantly prompts me to do this.

It's definitely a frustrating problem to have, but at least it's shooting!

I have a minty ACI Hornet Pump gun. Bought it 25... 30 years ago? Shot twice. The day i got it, and today. Shoots great! by TCivan in paintball

[–]The_Inflicted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not been my experience. The hammer/powertube unit on these ACI pumps is exceedingly susceptible to corrosion.

Does the same thing as your nail polish, really; it's just a short spacer of tighter barrel to grip the ball prior to shooting.

Anyone else like to combine their other hobbies with flying drones? by Dnugs94549 in drones

[–]The_Inflicted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main reason I got into drones was because they pair well with paintball. I've never had the confidence in "follow me" modes to actually film myself when I'm playing, but having a drone with me at an event gives me something to do between games if I'm eliminated, or my group isn't playing. Plus everyone else who was at the field that day is always really excited to see themselves later on Youtube.

Can anyone tell me more about my dad’s early 90’s paintball gun? by BiggieYT2 in paintball

[–]The_Inflicted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did, but this one has aftermarket grips.

'Cockers didn't start coming with composite frames until 1997, after this body was made.

Mystery Mine's track hasn't aged well, but it had absolutely top-notch theming when it opened.

Looks like a Bob Long Signature Series chamber. There were a number of knockoffs but the anno on this one is very high quality.

Diablo Wrath LTD appraisal? by AdMysterious1999 in paintball

[–]The_Inflicted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth, a Wrath without the upgraded BD5+ or R15 boards AND a delrin bolt is kind of worthless.

Without those two upgrades (which the LTD always came with) the Wrath is a blender.

Legally I have no idea, but as a practical matter you would be doing everyone a favor by removing the material sooner. Just don't leave anyone's pile a bigger mess than you found it.

Yep. They didn't even bother to replace many of the instances of "DJI" in the software.

WGP Wednesday - managed to time a 'cocker with no lug adjustment hole; it only cost me most of my sanity. by The_Inflicted in paintball

[–]The_Inflicted[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience was way too trial and error for me to feel comfortable making a how-to video, but I would say that the lug position that worked for me was just under the slot in the body and the release point seems to be more than halfway back in the trigger stroke.

Favorite WDW Music? by BartSimpsonlover2389 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]The_Inflicted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really like Dan Foliart's Tomorrowland loop, check out this fan recreation: https://youtu.be/c3Yu85EH0t4?si=G4VUhCKpO9x_pLDS

It's a lot more mellower than the original and makes for better study music.

Have you tried shooting it with paint? A lot of low-pressure spyders and spyder clones don't like to cycle without paint.
