Paintball Expo

[Yummynachos88]

I went to the pb expo west today it was pretty cool. I got to check out the ion and all the scenario guns. ANd I checked out the splat girls. lol Anybody else go.

[JimmyBeam]

What did you think of the Ion?

[Yummynachos88]

The Ion was better than I thought. For the price its great. The plastic outer shell feels cheap though.

yup, the trigger was awful though. Did you guys try the ego? I fell in love with that gun :headbang:

[kopfjaeger]

The expo was a waste of $12. :rolleyes:

[JimmyBeam]

yup, the trigger was awful though.

explain please

[Muzikman]

Ahh, ok, so that was what was in CA this weekend. My uncle said my cousin was heading to CA for some paintball thing, and I couldn't figure out what it was.

She is one of the Smart Parks booth babes :shooting:

[poonjar]

Is she single?

[Muzikman]

Umm, she's not married. She seems to always have a new BF.

That's her, and no, I still hate Smart Parts and tell her this ever time I see her:)

[Muzikman]

HEY! That wasn't very nice.

It's amazing what digital photo editors can do.

[magman007]

[gc82000]

:rofl: :rofl: That was not very nice at all. :rofl: :rofl:

[gc82000]

I love how their ads have no pics whatsoever of any of their products. Unless your cousin is named impulse.

[Army]

Good golly Miss Molly! If that's the caliber of the new SP girls, I think I might buy a new ION myself!

[Creative Mayhem]

HEck I'd buy a bunch of SP stuff if she came with it ;)

But I agree with the "what happened to you" remark...

[Muzikman]

How come I get no love here any more?!?!?:(

[Creative Mayhem]

we love yah... its just that she looks soooooo much better.... and has boobs. I know what you're thinking.... don't go posting that pic that you posted a while ago either... you sick little man... that damn pic is still haunting my nightmares! *shudder* :eek:

[pbzmag]

I went and only saw one other AO guy. Can't remember his name though. I took some pics on Saturday. I'll post them when I get a chance.

[gortman44]

yeah, I went. And keely Watson was there. Ummmmm. She is sooo freakin hot. I think I am in love.

ps. she said hi to me. thats right, to me. not you, me. :D

[Destructo6]

I went Saturday, too. Nothing particularly excited me this time around.

The Ion felt a bit cheap, as you might expect. I didn't get to do more than fondle it, though.

AKA (iirc) had all of their markers bolted to a wooden board. What's the purpose of bringing something to an EXPO if folks can't pick them up and give them a bit of a feel?

[space_weazel_45]

I think we need a pic of Muzikman for comparison. You know for science and stuff......

[mag88888]

i can imagine the resemblance

[pbzmag]

she said hi to me. thats right, to me. not you, me. :D

She said hi to me too! Oh yeah...

[ej_y4]

Whats the story on those pistols?
they are the remake of the duck

JimmyBeam the trigger pull was similar to some spyder e frames. If you ever try the one you know what I mean, long ect. (im not bashing the gun, i like them for the price

gortman44 She siad hi to me to, your not that special;)

[pbzmag]

Whats the story on those pistols?

The first one is from the original production. The pic with the feed tubes are the new versions. They are made from aluminium and have a replacable barrel. The guy said that they can get 30-35 shots per cartridge.

[lbonettosd]

The new DesertDuck pistols use smart parts freak inserts, are said to have great efficientcy and a milled completely out of aluminum. But can be a bit on the pricy side.

[jewie27]

I found out about the PAST expo while eating lunch at Hollywood Sports Park today. The owner had a special Sport Chalet day for us. I got to play for free with unlimited paint/air. I missed the whole expo and last years too. Who on AO is going to LA Open this year?

[Jack & Coke]

I'll be there at the LA Open (saturday) :)

Duck info by Steve "Mongo" Brett:


homepage: http://www.desertduckdd68.com/
It is a "Redux" of the original Desert Duck...
It is the legendary fusion of aluminum, stainless steel, springs, screws, and seals, with a bit of Nelspot, and a LARGE dose of the Colt 1911...
Offered exclusively thru I & I Sports and a limited amount of custom markers and optional items thru this website (http://www.desertduckdd68.com)...
two versions: regular twist for CO2, and a "slam pack" super quick changer...
expect $550-$650 price range...
EXTREMELY smoooooth and precise pump stroke...
Excellent ballance and handling...
Great slide trigger...
It has a barrel system that uses precision machined inserts, which allows the player to adjust for ANY size paintballs, improving the accuracy and efficiency of the marker...
It has compatibility with Phantom internals, so you can keep your marker tuned, without worrying about parts being available...
Custom, clear acrylic feed blocks that allow changing the markers configuration, is another feature incorporated into it- will enable you to go from modified to stock class in seconds!
Many optional items will be offered- adjustable, three dot, and ghost ring sights for example...
An extended barrel , an IPSC style compensator, slam-change, extended front grip, and other items still in the works, including custom anodizing, milling, and high-end grip panels giving your marker that "one of a kind" look and feel...
