View Full Version : BE sucks? Profiler v. My old BE mask
I knew Vforce masks were made by Zleader, whom also made BE masks. I guess what I find ironic are the "newb" comments I get about my BE mask. Both masks use the same lens and the mold for the mask is failry simliar. here are some pics:

Jason=n00b:p;) (there were several comments from guys on my team at texball about your BE jersey... I had to laugh because I knew that was what you were shooting for:p)
ya, I had always noticed the resemblance, and often mistaken the vforce Shield and the brass eagle mask. I didnt know they were actually of the same mold, tho.
Does anyone remember the Skul masks that diablo used to make? I guess they stopped making them when their V-force line took off. I've always wanted a white one of those... Does brass eagle have a counterpart to those, too?:p

Fact is BE designed a really decent mask, marred because of the BE name and probably poor QC or manufacturing.

V-Force licensed the mask technology of BE. So the Profiler is the evolution of your BE mask. That simple.

Another thing you will notice is that the v-force lens will work on the BE z-leader mask and vice versa.

I just went out and bought a vforce lens to see if I could use it on my old Brass Eagle "bubble" mask.
Unfortunately, there are just enough differences that it'd be difficult to retrofit the lenses. The side mountpoints are about 1 cm shorter in height and the whole thing is actually a wee bit smaller in diameter... I suspect
you could regroove the mask to make them fit, but it's
certainly beyond the effort I want to put in it :)
Just wanted to warn others before they go out and try the same thing...

There are 2 differnt V-Force Mask. The Morph/Profiler (uses same lense) then the have the rentalmodel which I believe uses a slightly different lense which is the one that works in the older mask.

I saw that just a while ago... I was walking around Academy Sports and for the heck of it, strolled down the paintball aisle... Skuls for 20 bucks... Might get one for kicks;)
