What Have I Missed?

[mjs1217]

I'm getting back into paintball, I think. But, I've been outta the loop for almost a year now, or at least 6 months. What have I missed? New guns out? New developments? I got "out of the loop" around the time the QLoader was made available to the public. I do know about the entire Smart Parts thing, but nothing recent. So, what have I missed?

hm...mgiht wanna check out the latest sp/wdp fiascos should be on teh first paqge here. dont know if u missed some of the newer mag developments?

smart parts sued people (mainly AKA and ICD, i think) because SP holds patent to electro guns, there were 30000000 new timmys you missed, all the same thing, cept the 2k4 ones are lighter/smaller, 2k3 shocker, one of the smallest/lightest guns to date i (bout size of mag) but, i havent been very impressed with the one i used, uhh, the hAir trigger frame is coming out for automags, its a mech frame, but has the trigger pull of an electro (verified 21bps) uhh, not alot i guess, DM4, cyborb, both good markers, freestyle too

Yeah, I know all of that, but thanks for the help. Any other completely new designs happen? I noticed that AGD is selling Sydarms, w00t! Too bad I don't have any money...

"what have I missed"

Your better off looking for a book on this subject.

Remember the old saying:
"The more things change, the more they stay the same"
You haven't missed all that much!!!

I remember that Dynasty was completely owning EVERYBODY, lol...Hmm...
What sponsor are they using now?
And also, i've never even heard of Russian Legion...?

[FreakBaller12]

i hope you heard about the hAir! :wow: :wow:

russian legion is a is a team from yes you guess it, russia. They are a pro team and I first heard of them on smoked which is the 01 Cup, so they've been around for a bit, but i guess just recently got in the spot light.

yea, dynasty has still been winning up untill recently, and they shoot smart parts shockers (proabably the nerve too)

russian legion- train 6 days a week, dont have other jobs, just play, have a CRAZY training schedule, never stop, probably the only team that dosent cheat at all. Are shooting there own custom intimidators right now (had been with WDP angels) my prediction for them is that they are gonna own EVERYONE for a while

ND's haven't changed sponsers at all.

Their sponsered through NPS, so they can shoot any gun they want.

Did they start off in Russia, or did the team form here but they were all born in Russia, or what?

[Bolter]

they started off in russia. This guy owns a bank chain and funded an Am team made up of employees, to play paintball in Europe and then America as a Pro team. They played well, but just couldn't win against the Americans. This year though they have change the way everyone has to think about paintball. The players are now paid full time and housed in Moscow by the team, and they play Xball (you heard of this right?). The team held try outs across the globe and picked up a Hungarian (am I right with this one?) an English guy and a Brazilian and have trained for 5 days a week since. This weekend is the big test as they are playing a PSP event against big teams like Infamous, Dynasty, Avalanche etc and so far.....they are winning! Yay! I'll dig out a video........
