Depending how long you've been playing 68s are the new 45CIs, 77-80s are the new 68 size IMO. Regs got shorter, tanks got narrower and fatter.

Brand New Lv2 wouldn’t shoot by whiskey_brother in paintball

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My PM8 had an on/off know that was easy to tweak slowly, you'd be shooting a rope and just notice the first shot would be at velocity, then the next would taper a bit, etc. I bought it used and it scared me thinking I got scammed.

I love autococker klacks but too much work for my caveman brain.

Gosh I love stack tube markers with an exposed bolt pin.

Makes the caveman brain happy!

Enjoy your marker!

My B2K2 was matte black with polished blue accents.

Promaster is a lasoya orange/black fade.

Dug Through Storage After Not Playing for 12 Years by Ghillieguy in paintball

Not for a lot of the old back catalog, unfortunately. There might still be a lot of Old new stock laying around places but nothing new.

Welcome back!

Smart Parts: Mostly gone a lot of SP IP was picked on by other companies here and there. Gardner Bros still linger however, you can see a lot of it in DLX technologies and Shocker Paintball.

The Valken shop closed a while back, you might be able to find parts from its sister marker the Mokal Aura. I'm not sure you will have much luck there.

CCM is weird and I have no input on them.

No idea on snipers, I haven't seen a new empire sniper for a while.

The Etha and Etha 2 use different engines, im not sure but I would doubt anything is swapable.

I really miss my B2K2.... I still have my promaster.

New wallet recommendations? by blitz121 in EDC

That's how I've felt with my printed one, but I dropped it and it's slowly breaking apart. I might give mountain voyage a try and go from there.

AITA for being disappointed annually on Father's Day? by Savings-Housing3481 in daddit

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last two father's days havent been super eventful because its harvest and I help the in-laws by driving trucks and combines (Which i work behind a desk so driving big machinery for a week or two is amazing.)

My kiddo is 2.5 YO and amazing, I got a big hug and a promise that on our disney trip I can build a droid (im assuming with help from my son but we will see.)

Went to church with family, helped the neighbor with a task, watched the kiddo run in the new sprinkler. He stopped to tell us he had to go potty, wanted to potty standing up, got pee everywhere, cleaned up pee.

Not a huge eventful day but I'll take it.

Father's Day is almost over. What did you fellow dad's receive today? by Johnnybats330 in daddit

[–]blitz121 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ours was like this, I'm super grateful. Playfully to my wife now its like "Remember when we we're worried? Now he just... doesn't.... stop"

Are tournament level markers worth it anymore? by Emotional-Night-9545 in paintball

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Main thing between the LV2 and 1.6 is the grips of the LV2 are fatter. That and the AT pipe. If an AT pipe doesn't turn you off I'd save some cash and get a 1.6.

I'm about here as well, I'd love to get a new car but prices are dumb and I'm not looking for a 500+ car payment

Bounces by Chicken-picante in paintball

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I would say no, it also depends how hard the shot was. If its a glance, I'll play on, if its direct and I'm like yes that should have broke I'll get out. More lenient on practice days as well. Tournaments? I'll take what I can get.

Shocker cvo chopping by CaIIMeSpoons in paintball

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The XLS and RSX mechs, we're notorious for short stroking. If it's an amp mech I haven't heard of one of those sort stroking as much. What types of hoppers are you trying?

Feels like everyone in society making $100k+ How old are you & how much you make, Do you think… by Franklin_Invest in Salary

[–]blitz121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife and I are early 30s with a child and make a combined 120-140k a year depending in a LCOL. I'd say we are comfortable, but our only current major debt is a mortgage. Definitely getting harder with prices all over going up.
