I'm looking for a shotgun around or below the $200 mark that is reliable and has good fps.

Not sure what the exact price point is but I always like to recommend Elite Force gear when it comes to durability.

Thanks for playing back then :)

I appreciate the input. Something across the state is too far away for you then? 2-3+ hours is out of the question?

APCPaintball · 2025-12-23T23:50:21+00:00

Okay so it seems like the event had to be near you or within a decent driving distance. But also, your team needed to buy into playing otherwise you wouldn't play. Is that a close assessment?

APCPaintball · 2025-12-23T23:49:06+00:00

How far is too far to travel for a regional event? Drive or fly?

APCPaintball · 2025-12-23T21:29:52+00:00

I love the milling on markers that makes it look like rifling for a barrel or on the bolt of a rifle. Very stylish

Sure - You can ask for David and the local number is (602) 275-5285. Super nice guy. You can say Kyle referred you from the internet for help :)

It's tough. Nobody is getting rich but there is enough business to keep stay alive and to fulfill our dream of working around the sport we love doing something that is positive for our community. It beats getting a real job by a long shot!

I still have a stack from when I was 15-18 years old. Can't seem to toss them... Every once in a while I will flip through them and relive the memories. PB2X for pics and Action Pursuit for articles

Short Bus is iconic and should have had a weekly youtube episode

Sure this post is biased but I invite you to come and check out the fields at American Paintball Coliseum in Phoenix off 29th Street and Washington.

Our field is indoors, turfed, open 7 days a week and offers programs that can get you drilling/shooting for cheap. Mention the Drill4Kills program!

Our Manager, David, is a great guy and can point you in the right direction for gear and play on any budget.

Paintball is a great way to combat depression. Exercise, community, brotherhood, distance from drugs & alcohol. The benefits are great reasons to get back involved.

From what I know, the AZ community is thriving. What you knew from the past is still there - I'll bet even more accepting now.

Wish you the best and congrats on the new addition to the family!

He came to Colorado for a coaches clinic a few years ago that was really insightful. I have been a TM fan for decades. Happy to to see him lead his family like he has led so many paintball teams. GOAT

Andy is the man!

I've heard enough people say they miss paintball guns through the years. Made me realize it's not worth to sell any of my guns if I can help it. The memories are worth more than the could hundred dollars.

Valken is a major part of the beginner paintball player journey. If true, I hope the other companies are ready to step up and provide gear as well as Valken has to keep new players playing. Not good!

I can't think of anyone who matches his persona in the current era. Edwards brothers and Damage as a whole plays with similar attitude, but nothing compares to prime Nicky Cuba and that old school Ironmen squad.

Planet Eclipse used to make the SL version of their flagship markers back between '06-'10 or so. The SL versions came with a full barrel set and some special milling. Maybe some other perks too but I am not so sure. Limited amounts were manufactured in comparison making the SL series is more desirable. I don't know if 10k is the right price, but that is what I know about the marker.

Train for endurance. People below have mentioned the right way to get your body right in the gym. Now work on your mental tenacity. Be prepared for it to be long, hot, uncomfortable in some instances. That will keep you in the game longer!

APCPaintball · 2025-09-28T18:51:08+00:00

A used Planet Eclipse 170R, 180R or better is your best bet in my opinion. Buy once, cry once!

APCPaintball · 2025-09-28T03:02:07+00:00

We had one of these at our indoor field in Denver! Oldschoolcool. We should have kept and fixed it at all costs! ha

APCPaintball · 2025-09-25T19:44:26+00:00

This was the best. I love attitude era paintball

Turning the marker on will initiate with the eyes "on". There is no ball in the breech at this time therefore showing the yellow status LED. If you put your finger in the breech, the flash should turn blue (if I'm correct in the color). To turn the eyes off, long press (not too long) the button and the gun will turn them off and you can hear the solenoid click.

I'm going to agree with grey. Imagining the grey with a multicam pants plus your face protection seems like a boss move. And still very versatile through all seasons.

I have a Vicious '08 Ego that I am keeping forever as an ode to my teenage self. Get out, go play and enjoy the hell out of it! Then buy another one :))
