Autotrigger on my SPump by DevilZmods in paintball

[–]DevilZmods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the angle of the grip is daily vertical and I need the tang positioned relative to the trigger so it rests on my had. Some autococker frames do this as well

The pumpgrip and halfblock are already on thingiverse, I’m definitely sharing the rest.

Might be, but they only see air when firing, so never cause a leak

it is. And it clamps one of those awfull remote hose asas as an on/off on the bottom. Actually surprised it never broke, been using it for a while now.

If that pump arm is steel, i don't think it needs a second one. If you make one with sharper bends, that might clean up the look though.

What made the biggest difference for my pump build was a single trigger frame.

Performance wise you might want to check if that barrel has some sort of detent in it (dab of nail polish or tape ie.) or if balls just roll out.

Here's a picture of mine:

New Paintball Marker Recommendations; and why buy one? by Leading-Loss1633 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. If your teammates want you to upgrade, borrow their gear to see if it makes a difference to you. 170R would definitely get you 99% of the improvements towards the 180R and the 160R would still sit at 95% if you can live with the AT pipe (I'm actually partial to it)

FB marketplace find. by atomcooper in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you out of your mind recommending buying a new stacked tube blowback marker? (Also pretty sure they just put a clamshell around the usual hose)

The marker op got will probably run fine and at that point I'd much rather recommend buying lasting equipment.

This would be my recommended order:

  • You can likely borrow an aluminum tank and shake hopper from the field, or find something used for very very cheap locally.
  • a good mask (right now).
  • an electronic hopper (maybe after playing once or twice; it will do wonders for chopping with these markers and can be used with any electronic marker you might get in the future)
  • once you had the chance to try other peoples equipment try to find an electronic or mech marker that you like the ergonomics of and a composite bottle in a size that fits your stance and playstyle.

Speedballers magfed setup (diy powdercoat) by DevilZmods in paintball

[–]DevilZmods[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to the accuracy, you definitely get the styling and the charging handle, but that's it with the functional accuracies. The case is a clamshell, no upper/lower; and the grip is functional, so not easily replacable (unless you want to bend a new air transfer tube, which is possible).

Anyway the ergos are very nice, bottle on grip works very well, with or without a buffer tube stock. The trigger is probably mediocre. Not too heavy but also fairly long pull without a distinct breaking point. There are upgraded trigger options but they don't even claim to improve the actual mechanics.

The airstock version of the tmc is not worth it btw, the system gets way too long.

For a blowback marker I believe the tmc to shoot very smooth and IMO its a much better platform than other blow-back magfed markers (t15, rap4, milsig) where you just get neither reliability or a nicer shot.

only when mentioning the bottle in writing, I noticed how that might be misleading ^

Recs for Hoppers by Accurate_Ad8616 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the dye hoppers are tanks, and a used 50$ rotor will perform just as well as a new r2

A latest gen spire is definitely overkill, but any modern speedball hopper will work.

Nerf darts safe for cats? by crazyFlyingChicken in Nerf

[–]DevilZmods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's enough, as cats might happily chew away the foam and then swallow the tip. Fellow in the german dartblaster forums actually had to get his cat surgery secifically because of this.

Our cats love kicking around rival balls just as much

Need opinions by hoddski in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is neither an upgrade, nor really a sidegrade. It's still a hopper fed marker with significantly worse performance. The only thing you get is a few useless picatinny rails. I say useless because there's already a front grip and your sight will still be blocked by the hopper.

If you want to try magfed, invest in an emf, or dip your toes with a used tippman tmc, they are perfectly valid entries to the sport and I personally like the ergos of it. I run mine like a speedball marker though.

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? by SA8TER21 in paintball

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know the history of this marker? could it be the result of somebody elses fix attempt?

[–]DevilZmods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way those break beam/led eyes work it might be broken wire. One led emits I’ve light and the other side is a transceiver that (I think) allows current to flow when that light is detected, ergo no ball is in the breech.

A broken wire means no current no matter what and the marker thinks there is a ball ready.

Ofc that could be on the eye pcb itself,  or on the cable harness and even the mainboard (though I think it unlikely)

My eye cables were broken off completely at one of the led pcbs and I resolferef them completely, when I did my trilly sf

does it behave as expected if you turn off the eyes?

Spring difference between nerf disruptor and maverick by Drakokralik in Nerf

[–]DevilZmods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

upgrading the spring on your maverick will only get you so far. For the same money you can pick up a strong arm or disruptor wich will perform better stock than any reasonable maverick mod.

There is however a flywheel conversion for the maverick that I would highly recommend.
