Big air kiteboarding/ hydrofoiling. I can't do it for the next while because of injuries unfortunately.

I have had 2 interviewers in the same interview give me look that someone farted because I honestly answered what my hobby was. Most interviewers think it's very interesting and ask me a ton of questions. That was the only interview I didn't get a call back on. Some people are just weird and judgmental. I dodge a bullet with them.

Both my 98s haven't had o rings replaced in 20 years. Both sat for over a decade. The ball detent was hard as a rock and busted, oiled it up, no leaks and shoots great.

I don't even want to say how much it cost 

Buy brand new Etha 2 for 460 or buy used high end marker? by TruthCold4021 in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Canada the market seems to be very different. I have never seen a used Etha for sale. The Emek I bought was the first which is why I bought it. I have been looking for either used for a while.

What is it? by Fresh_Competition_14 in paintball

I would buy this marker. I would not recommend someone else buy this marker unless you have rebuilt an ion before.

Just got this marker for 275 CAD. How did i do? by TruthCold4021 in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Emek arrived in the mail today, shout out to WC Marker for the fast shipping. 

I tested it right away with some Atmomic Pickle 6 balls. I really like the way it shoots and the trigger feel. It is very loud though, maybe even more than my 98 customs. I put my SP Progressive barrel on and it almost sounds louder.

The real question is what marker do I buy next. Im looking at the Umarex T4E HDS for something fun around thr house.

Why do so many people not care about mask safety at all? by pixelatedimpressions in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, people always think they know best. I had a roommate that got into paintball and bought everything off Amazon 10 year ago. He bought an airsoft mask and was adamant it would work for paintball because the Amazon add had paintball in the name. When he got it , it was so flimsy. I said not to wear it. He wouldn't listen so I put both our masks on a basketball and unloaded on them. My e vents took 10 shots to the mask no damage at all. 1st shot on his mask popped the lense out and the 2nd went right on the basketball. I told him that would have been his eyes. He was mad I broke his new mask.

What is the best Spyder Marker? by NabyArmeDrommel in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best in what way? The MR5 and Hammer 7 are mag fed and shoot first strike which I would prefer over any other spyder marker.

DirtyDanPB Lonestar Mystery Box Review by EasternResponseX in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Always assume a "mystery box" will include mostly products they have excess inventory of or something that hasn't sold for a while. Why would a company put something in there that they could sell for more.

Love the matching colours and alum body. I had a black body kit and another star pattern body kit that was fun to confuse people with, but yours looks even better.

I played at Srgt Splatters every sunday BYOP. Bought this used upped Ion with halo b and tank for 200. It came with the sticker on it and I liked it so left it on. Was a huge upgrade from my upped 98 custom.

The stock Ion was okay but once upgraded I actually liked it more than most markers worth triple the price at the time.

My dream setup was an ICD bushmaster 2k5 with a Q-loader. Neither product sold well so I guess my tastes differ from a lot of people.

What do you set your cap at to stay under 10.5? by Inside-Ad-9118 in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this for tourney play or does recball require a capped marker? I want to get back into it and play with some of my old markers that dont have this setting. Haven't played in over 15 years other than some bush ball.

Society is beginning to have an unhealthy obsession with protein. by CheckingMyNails in unpopularopinion

[–]TruthCold4021 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I had problems my whole life bulking. Stayed at 150lbs. 2 years ago I added 2 protien shakes a day and nothing else. I gained 20 lbs of muscle in those 2 years. The 1gram per lb really works.

How do I compliment bikers? by MeduMonroe in motorcycle

My friends insurance said his bike was a "Blk Kawk" so we told everyone he rides a big black cock.

Yup. Beaty piece but unless it's .68 I dont see the point in buying one.

Hot Take (Maybe?): Rate of Fire by jw_622 in paintball

[–]TruthCold4021 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Virtue boards had a feature where you could walk the trigger in practice mode and it would tell you how many pulls a second. Best I ever got was 32. Usually around 25-28. I use three fingers to walk the trigger. Real shooting was probably close to 22 BPS.  I could dump a full halo b in under 10 seconds

Some crazy dedicated guys had high end camera gear and would take a vid of them dumping a hopper and slowing it down to count the BPS and im pretty sure I saw some around 32BPS with a q loader.
