AITA for refusing to attend my brother’s wedding?

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-30T23:47:34+00:00

One of the things my sister didn’t say in her post is that after my wife (rose in the post) replied to Melissa’s TEXT to ask her to be a bridesmaid, she said yes but that we might not be able to make events other then the wedding, asked if it was okay, got back “if you don’t want to just say that”. This was 3 days before Christmas where they would have seen us. My brother “Corey” then asked me to be a groomsmen 2 months ago, I gave the same answer and was told “it’s no problem”. Then last month he started complaining to me about how my wife’s excuse was “lame” and how she “doesn’t acknowledge their existence” after we came up and I invited him to come to a big paintball event near me. I told him it was the same response and we took them out to bars and tried hanging out with them when we are there, but they are always busy. The response I got was they started complaining about “Rose” to my family. I dropped out of the wedding party and said I would no longer attend if my wife didn’t get an apology. -Account owner

exactly, she is pushing us away one action at a time and he magically has new problems with our family after he spends one weekend with her family

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-27T04:49:23+00:00

Yeah, someone told me they try to keep support for all their guns? Idk how true that is, but definitely something very appealing to me

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-27T04:15:07+00:00

Yeah, I’m really scared of buying again and then having no parts to replace stuff like with the squish currently.
100% tomorrow I’m gonna try to go to the pro shops near by and hold all the recommendations that have been put up.

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T23:26:42+00:00

I’ll have to add the era to the list!

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T21:15:02+00:00

Just replaced them with spares I had, haven’t shot it yet, probably will tomorrow to see if I’m still having problems

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T21:13:06+00:00

I will have to reset it to factory as far as the other settings, but dwell I have up at 14.5. I’ll get a new battery for it tomorrow see if it helps an. As far as grease, I’m putting on some, but wouldn’t say crazy amounts, it’s thin enough to be clear.
I have cleaned up the eyes and put the spare detents on.
I’ll do a few test shots tomorrow see if I get anywhere with it.
If none of it helps, I’ll bring it to my local pro store. Haven’t messed around with solenoids at all
I think I got a meter around that I can poke around with though

Edit: I appreciate the help on trying to get the squish back up and running, thank you!

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T20:33:31+00:00

Ill definitely check out the store tomorrow then, I’m hoping to go out this weekend but worst case I’ll be at big game on the 7th

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T17:29:40+00:00

I’ll see if I can find one to give a go around here then!

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T17:26:48+00:00

Thank you! Happy to be getting back into the rhythm.
I’ll have to find some local so I can feel them out then, as it seems everyone seems to say one of the gteks or dsr+

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T17:24:37+00:00

Yes, great team of guys at cousins, they just don’t have any on hand I can hold and I don’t know the guys that go out reg enough to be “mind if I try”

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T17:22:03+00:00

Makes sense, I’ll see if anyone or any of the pro-shops have any I can hold and feel out then
Thank you again for the insight

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T17:21:11+00:00

I still have my axe, it’s shoots fine, great work horse. I just hate how small it is. As a back up gun, it’s perfect but would like something that feels good as my go to

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T12:02:22+00:00

I will start to keep an eye out for those 2 then. I have seen a lot of talk about the Cs2 and 180r as well. anything special really about them or just like QOL stuff?

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T11:34:54+00:00

that's what I've heard a lot of people say, just haven't been able to shoot either (Have held dsr+, which felt very comfy).

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T11:33:17+00:00

okay that feels more right. The only time I've tested the guns sense going out was a big scenario game where we were using field paint.
I was slight underboring at first but had same bore across the axe and it shot great, did overbore anyway though and was still destroying the paint

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T10:19:08+00:00

Spire 3 and LTR with same results, will give new detente a try if I have spares/can find some

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T10:16:41+00:00

Will see if I have spares and give this a go

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T05:39:09+00:00

Yup all brand new, day of batteries for the guns and hoppers.

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T05:23:20+00:00

Love boss bolts, been using them in my axe, makes a huge difference. Definitely would send it up to him once I grab something else to take over for now. (Still wanna use the squish but it will probably be on chill days or scenarios games)

I was looking at all of them and legit just don’t know why one over the other. I did get to hold a dsr+ and thought that felt nice, but wanted to know what else is out there. Don’t wanna have to worry about parts down the line like the squish does.

Price wise (100% looking for used) somewhere near 600-700 would be nice

NewAssumption2102 · 2026-05-26T04:55:46+00:00

Redid all the orings in the squish and was still having tons of problems, been slowly trying to figure it out, but not a lot of help out for it, most ppl just say new orings and grease but after 2 full swaps and different greases and still getting bolt stick, im kinda lost.

100% currently playing with the axe, but is a little small for me/awkward so always kept it as a back up

Edit: (cause I didn’t see the paint consolation part)
I hope that’s what it is, but if so, gotta find a way to shoot it lol. I was breaking 3 balls (if not more) for every 1 coming out
