Feed neck can be used for:
A. holding a hopper.
B. Hiding your stash.

In all seriousness though, I like the way it looks. Read the description too, it's quite humorous.

As funny as I think this is, i can never understand why people advertise that they smoke or promote smoking, such as if they bought this gun, or wear clothes that directy have MJ leaves on them, or just blatantly state the stuff on clothes.

Well... i refer to those who live in the US anyways... not smart imo :tard:

Actually thats false, I just spent some good time in a Chemical Awareness Program, mandated by the good state of Michigan for my Minor in Possesion Violation. You can get liver sclerosis(sp) and tearing and cracking of the liver alot sooner then alchohol with even recreational use of weed(3-5 joints a week), and thats just one of the many many conseuqnces.

Marijuana has been proven to more long-term damamge than any drug. It is no more safer than alcohol.

humorsly enough, both drinking and pot smoking in moderation have shown to be quite good for you. as well as moderate use of tobacco. its only when these things be come abuse that they cause issues... (think south park song M'Kay?)

beer is good for you, real beer, not budwiser, coors, or miller, but some thing real unpreserved, and unfiltered (think microbreweries here)
good source of soluble fiber (prevents heart disease)
good source of B complex
some are good sources of Iron
great antioxidants (Hops)
and alcohol in small doses reduces stress and the risk of heart disease.

Pot has been known to reduce stress, and heart disease, as well as slow the onset of alzheimers, and several other diseases. Its also a great way to counter effect the effects of many medications.


now, on the gun. its stupid.

some people get to a phase in their life where they feel its cool, and want to advocate it... ususally this is called college... then theres a time in your life where sitting on the couch, eating fritos and funions, and working at your part time job, just isnt acceptablt any more (bout 21-22) and you figure it out.

I love people who lump MJ into the same catagory as heroin. They both are illegal drugs, so they must all be the same, right? I do agree that it might not be the best idea to market an item glorifying smoking weed to the younger crowd, though WDP has had some other risque marketing schemes...

To each there own. I personally dont believe that weed is anywhere near as bad as our government makes it out to be. I bet if the US could turn around and make money on legalizing weed without seeming like hypocrits (whole "war on drugs") they would. I mean, what does smoking weed make you do, aside from being terminally lazy? Sure it impairs judgement, but so does alcohol, to a much more extreme end IMHO. Judge not!

14-18 is high school age. I don't know your age, but I'm graduating tomorrow. Drug use is glorified enough, a few pot leaves on an A4 isn't gonna do anything.

Smoking pot is on the same level as drinking. I've got experience in both, and they're very similiar in the degree of how messed up you get. I forget which way alcohol is, if it's physically addicting, but I know that weed isn't. Dope, on the other hand... yeah. That you can up a level from weed..

1. pot and alcohol are just, eh, nobody really should care if you do it cuz its yur business
however heroin and other such harder drugs = slap yourself now and go to rehab

2. the sport may be played by mostly 14-18 year olds, but studies have shown that if you haven't smoked pot by age 17 now you are never going to smoke pot in your entire life

3. showing a pot leaf on a gun may be tacky and funny, but its not gonna get your car searched by cops for a broken tail light, i had a pot leaf hat on the seat next to me when i got pulled over once...cop laughed and told me to drive safely

4. who the hell measures smoking pot in joints per week? nobody uses joints any more

5. DARE is useless and they should stop doing it in the manner it is performed in now, all that "Officer Friendly" taught me and my friends was how to not be scammed and make sure that when we buy it its the real stuff

6. Dye lock pods are apparently very good for storing it because they are air tight...(haven't done it but i have friends who have)

whatcha gotta do to get an engraving, for example a pot leaf, is you have to find an industrial machine shop. I live right next to Boeing production factories so i have it kinda easy, but usually either a car manufacturing, airline, large machining shops may have them.
Figure out how to meet one of the techs or machinists there and find out if they have a laser engraving machine, if they do the guy will usually do it for you under the table for either cash, cases of beer, or even some badass homemade cookies.

Please, I would love a link that said anything like that. As far as I know, there have not been sufficient tests on Marijuana to prove anything true or false about the side effects of smoking weed. Until I see some hard facts, lets look at what we do know:

People who die from alcohol poisoning each year: 4000, according to: <a href=http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/people/outreach/SafeSobr/15qp/web/idalc.html>Link</a>

playing paintball and smoking pot are too different to compare. i dont need to smoke pot/do drugs to know that i dont want to. i have a cousin that did drugs, and he isnt too well off now. last time i heard from him, he was too poor to buy food, his car was reposessed, was driving illegally, didnt have a job. i also know a person who deals at my school, and he doesnt look like he'll be much better off (even though he deals he tells people not to do drugs). sure there are people i know that dont seem to be too affected by it, but i dont have to smoke pot to decide that i dont want to.

Wow - talk about catering to the lowest dredges in the sport. If youre that big of a stoner that you "gotta have it" - you probably couldnt afford it - at least not until you finish making all of those hand made candels and selling them.

Seriously. The color scheme is ok. The pot leaves and tounge-in-cheek copy is just childish and silly IMHO.

And on another note - that that anyone cares about image anymore - but is this what we want people to think of us? Pot heads with guns?

When are they coming out with the "g'AIR-cia" Tanks. (get it , garcia, as in jerry garcia)

Or maybe thier next air bunkers should be named after drug paraphenalia and colored like a wavy, tie dyed pattern. You know like "You hit the crack pipe, I'm going to see if I cant pack into the bong! Watch the guy by the roach clip!" :rolleyes:

Its real stupid move, considering shooting houses, cars, and other things are illegal and definitely a problem that cops have, and MJ smokers and sellers are also a problem so combining the two is just stupid, paintball players are just asking to piss cops off, and even the general public will just think worse of paintball because they relate it to people that get high and drunk all the time. I mean shoot, ppl who get high are freakin funny, and that gun does look really sweet because of the color scheme but still just relating the two to eachother was a stupid move.

I have got no problem with drugs. I personally have never done them, but, I know a lot of people who have, and their useage has never affected me, so I don't really care (I have had my car hit by a drunk driver, though). If anything, it means less competition for me! But, I am so tired of everyone overusing marijuana leaves and refereneces to it to seem cool or get a laugh. It is sort of like when people pick up on a line from a movie, and then everyone beats it into the ground - It gets so tired and played out so quickly, that you just start to get agitated by it. I really can't stand when I see a comedian whip out a reference to getting wasted just to get some cheers from an otherwise lax crowd. It is a cop out of sorts. Maybe ten years ago, but now it is bordering on trite. You know something is overused when some stiff celebrity can get cheers by referencing weed on The Tonight Show.

Of course, I guess I really can't blame WDP. They know it will work, and they know that all of these sheep will think "dude, that's so awesome!" Hell, I would probably do the same thing if it meant profits. But, it is getting old, and maybe it should be given a rest for a little while. There are plenty of other things to exploit for cheap laughs (and I know all about exploiting things for cheap laughs).

While i dont Smoke.... i REALLLY love the fade.
i dont really think its that bad. this Image, all being politically correct this gets to me at times. i think scenerios with tanks and machine gun looking guns are do alot worse for our image then this. i still dont think scenerios should stop or anything like that.
What do you think will be worse? a mom opening her son's APG and seeing and Advertisment for a Ghelli suit and an M16 looking paintball gun.?
or a Rasta Fade paintball gun with a couple of pot leafs on it ? it probably depend on the parents. but yea you get what im saying.

All Companies do somthing like this ( by the way ... i thought the lesbian and man goo AIR where the same tank ? ... ) .
Evil with their stickers and "cheating " shirts.
Stiffi Barrels ? ... innuendo anyone ?
Bunkerking with "We Kill Suckers"
JT shirts ..."Size Does matter" or "Go kill yoursel"
Atomix Timmy.... A Friggen Mushroom Cloud on the gun .... somthing that has and can kill hundreds of thousand's.

List goes on and on. none of those really offend me to much, but i can see how they are negetive. i LOVE WDP products, i do think they went overboard at some tournys with women scandly clad and making suggestive gestures ( find my thread that was closed)

a gun such as the A4 is Expensive! if the child is young then the parents shouldnt buy for him. its the parents choice wether to buy it. if they are older then about 16 chances are they smoke or have decieded against it already.

on a Side note, smoking pot doesnt make anyone bad. it somthing else you have to be careful of though.

When/if they legalize weed, you wont see any posters or commercials saying "dont do it" they will say "do it responsibly". Mark my words. Dont like weed?

I'm willing to put 100 dollars on the fact that this limitted edition paintjob will receive no media attention. It will not put a negative idea in the minds of people who don't play. It's a simple joke. You can make a big deal about it if you want to, but its really nothing in the grand scheme of things. Just don't buy it if you don't want it.

WDP isn't shoving marijuana down 14 year olds throats, they aren't trying to get 14 years olds to smoke, and they aren't even selling the gun outside of their own company. The aren't marketing this product too hard. There is no reason to be mad at them as a company for somehting stupid like this. They aren't doing a thing to hurt the world of paintball. If you think they are, quit being so naive. Marijuana isn't seen as a big deal anymore, because besides that fact that its illegal, it isn't a big deal.

Marijuana is used by athletes of all sports. If you think that it hurts other sports images, you're crazy. And another thing, I'm sure it doesn't suprise people that some people who play extreme sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, paintball, etc.) smoke pot. If they want the flaunt it, let them.

The demonization of pot started well before any of us were born, before any real studies were performed on the stuff. It was simply a vehicle for various people to act out their professional, political, and racialist agendas. People who buy into the demonization are still (unknowingly?) serving as pawns to the big boys. If you live in a world of black and white, you should perhaps doublecheck your reference values.

I have my own little saying: "Some people are bought and paid for. The rest are just stupid." I find myself saying this a lot to myself when I read paintball material.

There has been surprisingly little research on pot since they tried to tax-stamp it out in, what, the 1930's? During the age of 'reefer madness', there was actually a study conducted on it. Oddly enough, they found that it had none of the 'reefer madness' effects that had been associated with it. Unfortunately, the pot for this research came from the same government bureaucrats who built their careers on the demonization of the little plant. The results made them angry. Hence, there was no more research on the subject for a really long time. Some of you are citing studies about the evils of marijuana... I'd be curious to see any recent stuff.

Now, I'm no illegal drug user. I've never used any illegal drugs in my life, which actually seems to surprise a lot of people when I tell them this. I'm not saying it's completely safe and doesn't do anything to you. Hell, you eat enough Taco Bell, you'll probably suffer a grizzly fate. But I do believe in freedom. And this includes the freedom to screw up your own life. We should just make the truth be known and let people make up their own minds.


And man, the things we do to protect our precious paintball image. We have to get out of the woods. We have to stop wearing camo. We have to stop calling them guns. We have to get flashy jerseys. And last, but not least, we have to distinguish ourselves with flashy markers. Newsflash: our image is already badly tarnished. A tricolor fade with some leaves on it isn't anything to get worked up about.





Oh, as far as the marker? Hrm. It looks like a nice piece of work. I wouldn't be caught dead wielding a gaudy piece of trash like that though. But to each their own.
