"please dont e-mail me junk.. if you dont like it, feel free NOT to e-mail me i dont care, but do not call me anything when you dont even know, just because it has a shell dosent mean it is the gun you can just buy off the market so go pester somone else... and yes your joke about ebay being full was funny.. i laughed.. . cuz internet bidding systems have limits right?? and im the moron?"

on my M98C :) Guess I'll have to get a forty incher made (so the ball can be 19 inches closer to the target when it leaves the muzzle).

:D

And I thought VM owners were insane (and I'm a VM owner)...

for example, my definition of a silly gun... I wonder if I put it up on ebay if someone would bid $1,000US on it. Might just be worth doing.

haha, this is the smartest person i have ever seen, no sarcsm. he took a tioppmann m98 custom, slapped a 20$ 21" barrel on it, a 20% scope, a 20$ stock, and sold it for a thousand dollars. what a genius! people actually bid on it! he is so smart! a 200$ investmaent sold for a thousand dollars. " it makes co2 come out the end of the barrel" so what, mine dose this too. and HPA is better. way better. " wo football fields". a flatline cant do that. nothing can. he is a genius.

OK, math time!

Let's see here.....two football fields (not counting endzones) = 200 yards.

200 yards = 600 feet.

Speed of sound, at sea level, at 70 degrees F = 1129 fps.

If you're 600 feet away, you'll hear the "very loud" gun fire .53 seconds after it does.

If he's shooting some type of magic paintballs that are not affected by air friction or wind, and you're playing safe by shooting 300 fps, seems to me that you'll have a second and a half to dodge. Add in real life factors such as wind, etc, and the time is a LOT longer. You can pretend to be Neo and dodge the ball.

I'm a little too lazy to look up air resistance numbers. But common sense tells me that the ball would have to leave the gun at rifle-like velocities to make it that far, and at those speeds I don't think a plastic mask is going to help you very much.

Someone do the math. Please. I can't find my physics book.

Sounds to me like this guy is selling a FIREARM on eBay, which is against the rules.

And when was the last time you saw 600 feet of clear woods to shoot through? I think that's called a field.

and since the gun can shoot 2 football feilds efectivly

:eek:

"effectivly"...? so if your up a 600 foot tower you can shoot down at someone standing at the base...?;)

if thats the rule... I'm sure I can get some better range than that...:)

03-23-2004, 08:29 PM
Lets see, at 300fps and a 35 degree angle a paintball will travel about 300 feet. So, we could ASSUME that at 600fps it would travel 600 feet.

The effective range is about half that, so all it needs to do is fire at 1200fps. What's the big deal? ;)

Because in the legal realm of fair paintball play its impossible, due to this little thing like the laws of physics?

Gee, I wonder....

03-23-2004, 09:15 PM
but i never played with legal paintball rules... the velocity is higher than 300 fps so that might answer a few of your physics questions

That's perhaps the stupidest thing I've ever heard from someone who claims to be a paintballer.

120 meters per second, now my math isn't the greatest, but that's roughly 375 fps give or take. How is that even safe given that current masks are only rated to withstand 300 fps hits?

And amazing that at speeds in excess of 300 FPS, the chance of hitting anything drops to near nil...


Originally posted by thisguy

And there's a such thing called "air resistance" which a paintball has in spades.

Please tell me you're not really as dumb as I'm thinking you are....

And so you're admitting to false advertising then?

Great...:rolleyes:

thisguy
03-23-2004, 09:48 PM
its not false advertising.. it does shoot this far your guns would probably do the same if you mod them correctly, but you would go against people with that kind of setting would you?

A lot of us aren't taking it too seriously, it did give me a good laugh when i read it, but your description portrays paintball in a very bad light.

Say there's a kid that wants to get a new paintball marker and he goes on ebay to check it out. He sees this thing and thinks it's pretty cool (for the sake of arguement we will say that money is not an issue) so he shows his parents. They read it and instantly they're going to be turned off to the sport as a whole.

robdamanii
03-23-2004, 09:52 PM
All markers shoot the same distance with the same velocity, paint to bore match, regardless of barrel length.

The only barrel that adds range is the flatline barrel, and that's not the greatest investment anyway.

And if you're asking whether I would step out on the field with that marker...I play with people who do things like that all the time. Waste of money.

And now you're telling me I need to modify my markers correctly? I don't need any mods on any of my markers anymore, they shoot just fine for tournament level play.

thisguy
03-23-2004, 10:14 PM
cuz im laughing all the way to the bank guys ;) you should listen to your friend kauai_paintball from page one.. he understands... anyways heres the physics for youim leaving the forum now have fun talking about it tho :)

Vo = 120 m/s
Vy = 120 *sin(10) = 20.836 m/s

Dy = Do +VoT +1/2 A T^2
0 = 1.7 +20.838 T +1/2 * -9.81 T^2
T= 4.328 s

Dx = Vx*t
Vx = 120*cos(10) = 118.177 m/s --> Dx = 118.177 *4.328
=511.52 m = 1677.8 ft

1677.8 ft ~= 5.6 football feilds...
this is without air resistance... so with it might cut it in half or so... whatever.. cya

I'm not sure where you get your numbers from, but here is where mine came from:

http://home.comcast.net/~dyrgcmn/pball/trajectory.html

You'll have to convert mps to fps...

120mps = 394fps (1 meter = 3.2808399 feet)

At 97.5mps and a 10 degree angle a paintball will travel approx 88 yards. I don't think the extra 22.5mps is going to give you an extra 122 yards. :rolleyes:

First you, thisguy, start an auction with two pages of total BS describing a so called paintball gun then you come in here and say hey I was only kidding. That is a straight out lie!

Who in their right mind would type that much crap and not expect to get anything in return? Not to mention the amount of money ebay will charge you.

Now lets see just how big an imbecile you really are by counting the bogus claims:

1. "the spesifications i speak of are first the co2 phase change chamber, it is left wide so that lots of co2 gets in there, "

WTF is a phase change chamber? How is it left wide?

2. " the balls come out frozen."

How? Does it have an onboard freezer? lol.

3. "the decompression of the co2 is so great that some of the residue comes out of its 21 INCH BARREL!!!"

Residue? That would be liquid co2. Decompression? LOL. It does mean your gun is sucking straight liquid co2. Not anything to do with it's metaphysical changes.

4. . "the 21 inch barrel.. yes a full 21 inches, and its rifled.. if u dont know what that means it means that the barrel puts a spin on the ball forcing it to follow a path..."

The barrel in your pics is one of two no longer in production, and neither one had twist rifling inside. One had spiral porting, which does not spin the ball, and the other had straight line rifling, and again no spin.

5. " i am feared in my town as a paintballer.. "

You are a sad example of a wannabe. I take great offense to your self proclaimed title of paintballer. Your a danger to your community. I have contacted ebay with your falsehoods and schill bidding,because we all know you didn't sell it.



schill bidding = having two or more ebay accounts to bid on your item to get more money or get the desired effect.

And lastly you can expect a visit from your local law enforcement. Good day.

Come on guys...don't act like you don't know what a phase chamber is. That's where excess energy run-off (from the matter/anti-matter collision) is vented, and allowed to come in contact with cobalt and another element (which element is classified) and thus a muon-catalyzed fusion reaction starts. The result? A paintball frozen to absolute zero (you guys weren't thinking that frozen, so it can withstand relativistic velocities), that can travel at roughly .03c (3% of the speed of light) and go through a 6 foot (1.82 meter) titanium block at 17 miles (roughly 27358 meters). If you want me to do the physics, I could, but I'm sure most of you would be pretty confused. The 2 football fields means Galactic Standard, which is played on a field far larger than you guys realize. This is how he can justify his record of 1260 kills (literal kills) to 1 death (figurative death, meaning a normal paintball hit him). Shoot...I'd pay 1000 bucks for that.

------------------------------------------------------
also its not jus that guys fault for false advertisement that person who was uninformed enough to bud is just as guilty if he came over hnere hed find that u dont need more then 10 inch unported barrel and that 600 is was tooo big a number for any mark to see feasable with todays technology
unless maybe u drop it from a high place like i read from page 1
