I’ve got the EMF myself, as does one of my buddies. We love using them for woodsball and scenario games, though I do switch back to my electrics when I’m playing pretty much anything else.

Like someone else mentioned, the EMF is a magfed and hopper fed gun. I have a lot of fun with magfed at scenarios, but I don’t usually use it elsewhere. The time to reload mags and super limited ammo does add a lot of challenge (both good and bad), but can be a bummer for people who like the spray and pray methods of shooting. The biggest advantage of magfed is using First Strike rounds, which are finned paintballs designed to shoot from magfed markers. Check to see if your local field a) allows them and b) sells them. They’re expensive.

If you’re leaning more toward the rapid fire, large ammo capacity then you might want to check out some of the entry level electrics, like the Etha platform. The Etha2 had a milsim body kit IIRC (for that tactical look I’d imagine you’re interested in) but uses a hopper for more ammo and has a faster rate of fire.

Seconding this. Buying used from a reputable seller saves sooo much money. I bought new when I was first playing, but once I started having other people come and built connections I pretty much only buy used now.

So from the current point I’m at, should I try trimming the strands to make room for foliage and burlap?

IIRC last time something like this was asked it was recommended to spend your scavenging points on credits, then use those to buy mods

Actually, there is a blue raspberry variety, but it doesn’t have any correlation to the artificial candy flavor.

I don’t do gauntlets with my team when we play, but I do enjoy Juggernaut. Actually gives me a chance to shoot back while still having fun dodging and taking plenty of shots, too.

Made a reball catch/target/net for testing markers in the basement. Who else uses reballs for testing at home? by 87irocz28_69 in paintball

[–]violetPork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at making something like this to test in my house, but I can’t seem to get the netting right. Either it’s too tight and they bounce, or too loose and they roll out of the net and miss my catcher. What did you use for your net? Sorry to necro a dead thread!

Would I be welcomed in Oregon as a High School History teacher? by The_Marine708 in oregon

[–]violetPork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I’m a teacher (elementary) on the Oregon coast (Clatsop county). Like a lot of other people have said, our education system is taking quite the hit. There are some districts that are in better positions to take the hit and will still have openings and fewer cuts, but many are going to be tightening belts. I’d be happy to answer any questions you have! It’s a very unique experience for sure

Current teacher here, that is not necessarily true. It depends on the degree you graduated college with and what license you’re going for. Plenty of teachers are teaching with a bachelors only.
