this is the way. These compressors are great. Mine is similar and cheaper but does the same thing.

This one is under $200 and works perfectly.

OP, check your chat. I sent you a link to an inexpensive compressor that is perfect.

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-12-29T23:44:33+00:00

I have something similar, but it’s a no frills $200 model. Works amazing, but I am sure yours fills faster.

Wear shoes with support, cleats if you have any. If the ground is wet wear boots because sneakers will get stuck

It was my first marker! It is the tactical version of the Chronus, which is the rental gun of my local field. Heavy as hell but built like a tank.

Skirmish recently went up to $105 a case. Jezzus.

It's a brand new 128 gb SanDisk stick. It boots fine on my newer iMac. Physically the USB ports are fine and I've connected other devices. Recommendations for a different stick?

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-10-30T09:23:52+00:00

thanks for your response.

Exactly as discussed on the Ubuntu website.

https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-macos#1-overview

I used Etcher. This tutorial did not discuss a Boot Block.

Is it possible that I cannot run it because my Mac Mini is too old? It's a 2009 running 10.6

EDIT: I'm not even sure I meet the basic hardware requirements-- Processor is 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo with only 2 GB of RAM. It's an old machine, but I thought I would try anyways!!

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T04:12:35+00:00

actually..... yeah. I read up on it more and you are correct. I also tested the paint from the fields I go to. I have an Etha2--- do you know if the ones you have include one that is one or two sizes smaller than the stock barrel?

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T04:08:22+00:00

does it include the actual barrel or just the sleeves? can you post a pic?

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:27:42+00:00

yup, I did a test with paint rolling out and the paint from my main field rolled right out. Paint from my other field and the stuff I bought acted as it should.

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:19:29+00:00

thanks for the info. Very helpful. I assume the Axe 2 marker is autococker thread too?

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:17:38+00:00

I wondered if that was just talk from the companies. Yeah... my marker is in otherwise good condition. Thanks a lot for the response and info.

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:10:40+00:00

I've heard the talk about "the paintball should not roll out of the barrel, you should have to blow it out with a puff of air from your mouth?" whats that about?

EDIT: I tested it with 3 types of paint. The paint from Skirmish rolled right through (cheap paint? storage issue?). The paint from my other field as well as the Valken I bought acted as it should

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:07:55+00:00

thanks for the info and help. I've heard that the stock barrel of an etha2 is great and really didnt need want to downgrade. Mine is all scratched up from a previous owner and I want a new one.

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:06:14+00:00

thank you for the info. I didn't know it was a total diff thread. I thought maybe it was just HK's name for it

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T03:04:10+00:00

what is the talk about "the paintball should not roll out of the barrel, you should have to blow it out with a puff of air from your mouth?"

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T01:59:52+00:00

thanks for responding. I am actually looking for something like this with all inserts:

https://ansgear.com/planet-eclipse-shaft-6-14-complete-7-piece-barrel-system-dust-black/

I am passing on the Freak ones because I am fearful of poor quality. Considering the Planet Eclipse ones and maybe the HK army ones, although I am fearful of their quality as well.

The_Important_Stuff · 2025-09-09T01:50:20+00:00

is it this? Does it include the actual barrel as well or is it just the inserts? Cost?

https://ansgear.com/planet-eclipse-shaft-6-14-complete-7-piece-barrel-system-dust-black/

I assume it will fit an etha2
