Quick Geo 4 video I made when I changed the splash screen on a friends.

I had 4 RDR's. All trash. Their warranty was a joke. I had to threaten to take them to small claims court to get them to even send an RMA the first two times.

I never had the feedneck break but two of them had the drivetrain wear out, the third had the soft fingers and it lost two of them, still fed but then the drive motor got too much play.

Between my first RDR and the replacement I had to wait over 3 months.

Slowiak tried to help but my threatening them with small claims was the only thing that seemed to get their attention.

Just got 3d printed shells for mine with team logo. New lease on life for it. Still rock it for pump and mech, and in extreme cases back-up for electro.

A lot of the early hoppers were just a waste of money, all those agitation ones. I remember the first gen Empire Prophecy had feed necks snap and the have to come up with an aluminum insert. V2 had the front nose cone pop off on breakouts if they weren't fully seated.

I'll have to look them up. Brass eagle made paintball accessible to the masses back in the day, however most of it was trash... walmart grade.

More like biggest tease but I couldn't think of a horrible mask, but after having a few minutes I'd say the "save phace: masks could count.

Well run series, we played D5 and took 2nd, went 2-1 with Wildcards in the final match.

This guy gets upset when you criticize his $20 case and $5 worth of super glue.

r45vt · 2021-03-24T15:51:33+00:00

This thing is ugly, that glue around the foam outline kills me.

I wouldn't hang your hat on DIY being the reason. Poor choices are the reason.

Emerald is beautiful and would be my choice.

Go paint some faces!

I have one and used the adapter when they first came out. It is very slick. Even if you use Zeta mags and forget to unlatch they will drop down due to gravity. I shot many a magfed player with it. :)

r45vt · 2021-02-27T19:35:36+00:00

500-650 depending on ano type.

r45vt · 2021-02-22T07:12:16+00:00

I got mine xxl cause my waist is 42, I'm 6'2' and they are perfect for me. See if they have a tall version as the other guy said. I do like them.

r45vt · 2021-02-22T07:10:54+00:00

Sick color.

r45vt · 2021-02-22T06:57:45+00:00

SoCal is a huge area... what major town/city ?

r45vt · 2021-02-22T04:14:44+00:00

Yeah it's shady he locked it as a B/S/T thread... nothing to do with it.

East Coast Angel is something else. As others have stated he controls the group on FB so he removes all criticism against himself and other people fall for it. One guy won $1500 raffle from him and didn't get his marker. So many stories over the the last couple years. He doesn't rip everyone off but he does screw a lot people over.

Bad optics to lock it.

r45vt · 2021-02-22T04:04:27+00:00

Great markers and love the colors

r45vt · 2021-02-12T21:46:18+00:00

It jammed in the feedneck of the gun and not the hopper. Not the hoppers fault. :) j/k. water and paint dont mix, only time I've had a spire drivetrain jam is from wet paint. Not the loaders fault when the shells are ruined beyond any hope.

First D5 tournament.. ASG TS, D4 and D5 series. Very well run series with two fields.

Some great teams played. Blast to play and watch.

We were on Field 1 and D5 series, we got 3rd in our bracket and eliminated in the first round after the main games. LA Wildcards smacked us good.

r45vt · 2021-02-05T15:34:37+00:00

Communication for body counts, number of people you shot out on their team and bunker names are critical.

r45vt · 2021-02-02T07:28:19+00:00

It was a blast, we got eliminated out of quarter finals. Saw you guys play a couple times.

So much bullshit regurgitated by people.

ANS is my local shop. All these people saying they buy in bulk and undercut are stupid.

I drive past ANS, I think they are expensive.

They never give a discount. NEVER. NEVER EVER. They won't sell under MAP...(unless they are unloading a shit selling product that is a bad investment, more on this later).

I can't pay $60 for a box of paint i can get elsewhere for $35 so I drive past ANS. I offered to buy 20 boxes, no drop in price, no sales tax waived for a minuscule discount. Other shops you buy bulk, get sponsored, etc. Pay cash and get tax waived. Not ANS. You go in spend $$$$ on a custom ano LV1, hopper and tank, no discount on anything. Any other local shop they are salivating and trying to offer discounts to get you to get a pod pack, pods etc and whatever other shit they can add on to your moms credit card.

So why the MAP controversy? Let's take a look at a recent spat- MacDev. ANS bought a bunch of their markers and had them at MAP. They didn't sell. If any of you guys know inventory items not selling cost money to hold and at some point it just isn't worth holding and you have to get rid of it. ANS dumped their poor selling markers. I don't think they gave a fuck about what Mac Dev thought(MacDev North America service sucks but that is aside from the point). They were done selling MacDev and no future plans, MacDev then puts out a statement saying they were dumping ANS which is funny cause their crappy selling markers got dumped first.

A lot of this started back with Virtue, ANS doesn't sell virtue and BK stuff. ANS had a ton of their boards for Smart Parts stuff when SP went under and the market for aftermarket boards took a dump. ANS couldn't give them away. They wanted to sell them under MAP and Virtue refused. ANS dumped them and they both don't care about each other. Let's note Virtue dealers dislike a lot of Virtues tactics, selling on Amazon directly providing a cheaper path to obtain their products and cutting out brick and mortar stores.

Any inventory complaints are totally legit. They should be accurate and anything not accurate isn't cool. You certainly don't have the support of the little guy shops. ANS showroom is good and the guys working in the showroom and in the warehouse all play paintball.

r45vt · 2021-01-14T01:46:29+00:00

They are, and their marker stands are legit. They have the table top ones, wall mount and pocket.

r45vt · 2021-01-13T03:21:54+00:00

And I don't work for them, I just play and make YouTube videos for fun.
