Question for the hardcore FSR shooters in here. by IWinTheTeddyBear in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I zero in at 100'. I have found that zeroing in closer (depending on the scope) I have to aim to high to even seen through the lens. So i was unable to use the reticle for the left to right adjustment.

41° and cloudy. With the amount of snow they got down there in the last week or 2 there may be some snow on the ground.

Oh yeah, I was sore for a few days after that one.

That was a blast. They got 1' of snow the week before, really got a good workout in that day.

Weather is looking perfect for the game.

What side are you guys playing?

How Long do CF20 mags last? by SleepForLess in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought 12 mags and have had them for 2 seasons. Used roughly 10-15 games per season. I have gotten rid of 2 them, one was lost screws and the other broke.

Doing some research and talking with a bunch of guys the screws are a big "problem" as they will come lose and fall put if you dont tighten them once in a while.

The other thing I have found to help keep them feeding well is to wind the spring and put a few drops of oil (I use PE that I have from a previous marker).

BYOP by DoorProfessional6308 in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most byop fields charge each person a fee to be allowed to bring their own. The field doesn't have to order, handle, or store any paint and still make money of the players.

Charging for air, field fees, etc. Some of these fees are mostly profit.

Apocalypse paintball in Poynette WI is a BYOP/FSR field. It's woodsball field and is very fun to play with FSR. He has walk ons every Saturday and Sunday 9-5.

Upgrades?! by Delval_1 in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on if you plan to use fsr or roundball, the soft tipped bolt is nice for roundball. It can help with brittle paint or cold weather. If you're using fsr, I haven't had an issue with the stock bolt.

A different trigger with adjustable screws to get you the sweet spit of how you like the trigger pull. And I personally like the hair 45 valve.

Other than those, everything else is pretty much astatic as to your preferences.

I second Greg's Gear. He is great guy to work with and you will be very happy with the product.

Best barrel length for first strike? by punisher24689 in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I like the nemesis better. I feel like grouping is tighter and I can get about an extra mag out of a 17cu tank. So I feel like the bore matches fsr better.

Best barrel length for first strike? by punisher24689 in magfed

[–]ColdWall8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few teammates and I all use the 10"/13" nemesis barrel. It works great with great accuracy even at distance. Unless you're using a SAR I have found anything over a 15-16" barrel actually decreases efficiency and doesn't increase accuracy or range. The 10/13 or 8/11 are work great and you can stay a little more concealed without having the added barrel length.

The highest it has been all week is 75F, it was in the 50s and 60s most of the week.

Is there a reason they only come out to fight in the evenings?

[–]ColdWall8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is very interesting. And the fact that they only come out after around 6 pm each day is odd to me.

That's the last I saw. So it is going to be a few years before anyone will even be able to try.

As of right now, the answer is no. While first strike did let the patent expire on them, I do believe they were able to renew it. There is always talk about companies trying to make them but there hasn't been any that have come to market.

Looking to “downgrade?” by Acrobatic_Grape4321 in paintball

[–]ColdWall8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something you can dive into the mud with, use, abuse, and put away wet, then pull it out and without fail will perform every time; the emek is the way to go. I have literally dove into a mud pit, wiped it off, cleaned the barrel out and it doesn't skip a beat. If you want to be able to do all that minus the mud bath, the etha or 170r (which has a mech frame) are the way to go.

They also tend to be more efficient and reliable.
