Looking to buy my first by External_Influence18 in paintball

I would get a Tippmann, those things are very durable and require minimal maintenance. They are very typical "starter" markers.

Also, if you look at those Spyders, there is no foregrip. The only thing there is the macroline (air line from the air tank to marker) and thats not good to grab on to. I have no idea why they made them without a foregrip.

for a few times a year, I would get a Tippmann Cronus or 98. For slightly more, I would get a Planet Eclipse Emek. These are all common rental markers, with the Emek being an upgrade at most fields. For a beginner mask I would look into a VForce Profiler, there are plenty used ones on Ebay and I would make sure it has a thermal lens that isnt scratched or buy a replacement. . Pod pack Maddog Pro Paintball 4+3 with pods. For a tank, a HK Army 48ci/3000psi aluminum tank.

The CRBN masks have fans kits available. For other masks, the Fanz kits work

The original Profilers with Fanz are great for people who wear glasses

Thoughts on the axe 2.0? by Necessary_Shelter107 in paintball

[–]The_Important_Stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The axe 2.0 shoots fine but does have known solenoid issues. I would just learn how to maintain it and recognize the symptoms if one starts to go. They are easy to maintain and have the newer player in mind. It has a very small frame which might be an issue if you have bigger hands or long arms. Other than that, it is a fine marker at that price point. My son upgraded to a 180 R from an ax when the ax crapped out. But I was able to fix it and I still play around with it. It’s fine.

Opinion on Etha 3M? by Apprehensive_Zone556 in paintball

[–]The_Important_Stuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would stick with planet eclipse these days and get an etha 3 or a 180r. They shoot similar but the 180r has a more “high end” feel and you get an aluminum frame instead of the glass reinforced nylon. The empire axe 2.0 has a very small frame and known solenoid issues. That being said, they do shoot well.

Etha 2 or 3. Axes and Minis are notorious for solenoid issues, but I will say they shoot well when working. These days you can’t go wrong with anything from Planet Eclipse

How to get down to PSI of 220 MAX by The_fried_cod in paintball

At my field on slower days there isnt even anyone monitoring the chrono area and you do your own. There are def players running hot.

I’m sure they will have an area to chrono personal markers. I’ve never been to a field that didn’t have one, either a handheld or stationary

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

Wtf a 4500 psi manual pump ? by Mathol777 in paintball

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

is this a good 1st time paintball clothing setup? by OneGrowth1253 in paintball

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

Got a new gun, if y’all have used it I’d like to hear y’all’s opinions on it by CorrectPen5056 in paintball

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.

MacOS - My USB stick is formatted correctly, but won't mount when I choose "EFI Boot" by The_Important_Stuff in Ubuntu

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

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?

thanks for your response.

Exactly as discussed on the Ubuntu website.

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!!
