im working on the macro ;)

Cool, it is nice to have another join the rapidly growing AKA Family. Not that is necessary, but if you have the chance, pick yourself up some JMJ eye covers. They do the same thing, only look tons better.

[*ArKfEaR*]

Thats a really nice color.

Damnnnnn, almost as nice as my Burnt Orange sonic :D.

But alot of paintball companies have 3 letters, wow especially now that I think about it.

Off the top of my head, im sure there is more.

WDP
WGP
AGD
AKA
DYE
ACI
ANS
ICD
PMI

[jdev]

thought I would let everyone know.

I went out this weekend and took the marker to my moms (she owns tons of wooded property) and put some paint through the vike.

nothing but ropes.


I nearly have my 3 finger walking down pat. :D

you may now commence drooling ;)

[Grasshopper]

Those are freakin' sweet. I must have yours.

*begins plotting an evil plot to steal the Viking*

I counted between 13 and 15 peaks in 1 second on the waveform, depending on what you think the peaks are. It's so badly overmodulated that it's nearly impossible to tell. It could be a lot more... or less, I don't know.

Gorgeous marker either way!

i just don't get it.

no disrespect or anything, but i think vikings are ugly.

i mean, i'm not just some random kid saying it's ugly. i'm an artist, i paint, draw, do graphic design, etc etc.

i don't see... how that gun is aesthetically pleasing, WHICH is why i have such respect for agd, coming out with a gun like the x-mag that looks absolutely amazing. simple and pleasing.

i think the bushys and such are ugly as well. i DO admit however, that autocockers look good as well. angels are also nice. but i still dont think anything compares to the sfl emag/ x-mags.

i feel like such an outcast/idiot when everybody but me thinks that bushys/vikings etc look good.

[Bensongg]

Its mostly function over form.

[jdev]

sixx: thanks for the sound analysis. I may try and take a better one when i get home today, see if you can work with that.

scribe: what bensongg said. imo, i think angels are ugly :)

grasshopper: over my dead body and from my cold dead hands :D

Sure, no prob. Get me a clean recording and I'll count 'em for ya! Try doing it outside, about 4-6 feet away and perpendicular from the mic (don't shoot at it). Just make sure your meters aren't in the red when you're recording.

Mostly.

And Scribe, they do make better looking models.

[Pballwizz]

Hay, do u go to camp paintball regulary? Will u be goin this weekend? And are there any kids there who are like 14? If so, I may see if I can go up, Peace!

[Konigballer]

Not trying to hijack the thread cause thats a nice gun but I just gotta say that I'm like you scribe. I thought I was the only one! I've never "got it" either. Everybody gushes over these nicely ano'ed or milled out vikings, timmies, bushies ,etc. and I don't know how people can possibly think they are sexy from an aesthetic point of view. Its basically like dressing up a brick with a long barrel sticking awkwardly out the end. God knows their performance is stellar and thats ultimetly what will count on the field. I guess I just have a soft spot for "skinnier" guns like mags, cockers, angels, new shockers, etc. They just flow better. Aesthetically, Xmags remind me of a sleek sports car, and cockers make me think of hotrods with the chrome "guts" of the gun out for display like an engine. They got style.

Oh well, nice gun man. I'm sure you would slaughter the likes of me with it.

[jdev]

sixx: working on some more audio for you. i just use regular windows recorder, with my crappy little mic. hopefully this stuff is better. i kinda ran outta air.. ;)

pballwizz: ocassionally i am up at camp. im me, my sn is return to owner. i wont be there this weekend though. I will probably be at BPS in somerville.

kanigballer: knock that shoit off.. ;) and yes, i'd bunker you in my sleep :D

Ah, so that's the best way to go about getting it? I was thinking or just stapling you to the bed while your sleeping and sneak off with it. But, I guess I'll just have to kill ya! ;):)

[Konigballer]

"I'd bunker you in my sleep"..Hahaha, thats just my kind of fight, me against a sleeping opponent!

I'd do slo-mo jumping jacks matrix style into your room so fast you wouldnt even know what hit you. You'd be turned into a christmas tree so quick you and your teddy bear would'nt know what happened...................nah, I'd probably trip on a shoe and immobilize myself:(
