You might be old school if...

[WenULiVeUdiE]

In the April issue of PB2X, there's a small thing entitled " You might be old school if..." Pg 17.

Most of these things have to do with AGD.

10.You ever purchased a gun because Bad Company shot it.
9. The saga of the Smart valve in the pages of PCRI captivated you.
8. You know the Puma wasn't just a good semi-auto made by ICD.
7. Falling asleep during the video that came with the gun was common in your circle of friends.
6."Going liquid" was the worst possible thing that could happen during your day.
5. The powerfeed concept fascinated you.
4. You're convinced the "Crown Point" is still the most accurate barrel ever.
3. You ever wanted to make a pilgrimage to the Amatuer Open to attend the tech class.
2. The Automag is special to you, whether you still shoot one today or not.
1. You wish Tom kaye would un-retire, too

Most people (general public) wont know numbers 9, 8, and well just about all of them.

[Lohman446]

You were ever involved in a tournament where it was legal to eliminate your opponents by hiding in a tree and shooting them in the back

[gc82000]

I can relate to most of it, except for the Crown point. I hated that thing.


Watched the episode of law and order because it showed Paintball. I think the Ironmen were the guests of that show.

I fall under these categories...does that mean im "Old School"?

EDIT: Or does this just mean I'm a member of AO? :)

[MadPSIence]

I'm 2 years into the sport and I'm already oldschool. damn..

Hehe...same with me...:)

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Same with me. Just a regular here at AO.

There is a picture of Tom next to the column as well.

[BobDoleIsMyHero]

I fell asleep to the mag video just last week. :sleeping: I love it like no other, that vid shows you how to fix almost anything on a classic mag. I have owned my mag since 2000 but i still watch the video just for kicks. :)

These are me!

I know about all the other old schooler things from other ao members. lol

and the cp thing is still a joke, gotta love the barrel though

[peewee]

Well I personally would like a crown point to fit my ule body. TING,TING,TING!!!!

All but #10 But I respect BC.

[Lupis Fidelis]

You thinkThe DM# series look like Air Jordans instead of a paintball marker.
You wanted to grow up and be just like team Navarone.
You teamed up to go against a KP rifle.
:rolleyes:

[personman]

4. You're convinced the "Crown Point" is still the most accurate barrel ever.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahaha


Man I was so convinced. Tom did an awesome job at that, and everyone believed him because 'he's Tom! He knows everything!'

Sheesh I was about to buy one right before he posted and said it was a joke.. I wonder how many he sold :D

I dont know if that is more of an old skool list than an automag freak list. :)

By the way, for those left clueless about #4...

[Enemy]

:rofl: :rofl: hahaha :rofl: :rofl: those threads were great!!! oh and do i get a cookie i passed all but one but i do remember when bad company was around!

[Mike Smith]

11. You knew what size o-ring to put on the end of your crown point to "quiet" it down....

[PsychoBaller]

First off, the Crown Point barrel was, is, and WILL ALWAYS WILL BE the most accurate barrel EVER.... FOOORRRREEEVVERRRR. I had one on my old RT Original and it capped muppets back in the 90s.

Other qualifiers are:

- If you ever cut your fingers working on your gear, ductape is always there for you.
- ..... duct tape IS your best friend.

:cheers:

-da "im not old.... ok im old..." baller

[AGDlover]

you might be old school if.... your name is classic magger ;)

[Pyrate Jim]

You might be oldschool if you remember when paintball was dangerous and sex was safe.

[Maggot6]

Tom said-
The airflow reversal gremlins got you again!
For some reason that made me laugh.
(now I want a crown point barrel just because of that... :( )

[xXHavokXx]

You whine and complain because your tried to make a run through an open lane and got mowed?

[Scott Hudnall]

You might be old skool if.....

your first 10 man tournament was an "open" event, meaning the new varieties of "semi's" could play alongside the trusted and completely accurate pump guns. For me, that was 1992.

yeah.....old skool.

[50 cal]

PCRI! I forgot all about that rag. That and IPPA, a freind brought it up in conversation the other day also.

[Cyberious]

No offense to Zupe but I DO wish Tom would un-retire.

[ColdFuzion]

I guess I'm old-school... We need t-shirts!!! We should add 'If you own a 12gram wristband holder'... TOM IS MY HERO!!!

EDIT: Don't even get me started on my duct tape stories...

-Cold

[Creative Mayhem]

Oh and if your current project gun is a Eurofeed Classic RT with AGD pump kit, VL2000/Shredder, and 6Pak, you might just be oldschool.

[alooney11]

If you have ever splash anodized a CO2 tank

[pump]

6."Going liquid" was the worst possible thing that could happen during your day.
4. You're convinced the "Crown Point" is still the most accurate barrel ever.

dude going liquid and the crown point ah memories

the rest are also but not as fondly remembered

[pump]

No offense to Zupe but I DO wish Tom would un-retire.
HERE HERE let the man enjoy himself

[Kevmaster]

when Proball was THE ball to shoot

when Lapco made guns

when Brass Eagle didn't use plastic

when 10 BPS was 'faster than ayone can ever pull the trigger'

[The Action Figure]

I second this motion.


Also... PROBALL was the best stuff ever.... 2500 cases... yellow/orange... awesome. & Lapco barrels... whoooot. :headbang:

[50 cal]

I remember California Magnum paint before the QC went down the crapper. It shot so good through my brass barreled 007. That and Stinger paint by Line SI.

Wow, I need to break out my PS15 Marauder and shoot it a bit the next time I go play. I used it once at a scenario not long ago and a few guys said I couldn't use it because it was magazine fed. :rofl:

lol I did it last night, i got to the part where he starts describing the regulator, gonna watch him take it apart tonight :D

[nerobro]

When RPS wasn't just a NPS product.

When 10 man was still cool

When it was probounce

When FPO was the rule

When everyone started with pumps

When the average player was older than 18

When nitrogen was hard to find

When BBT still did cockers right.

When you could play with JUST goggles

ETC, ETC, etc.....

I used to think I wasn't old school........ I guess I am.

[Vex]

How about if you ever "chunked" a ball in your barrel because your "agitator" wasn't dropping the balls quick enough for you (many, many times...) :headbang:

[txaggie08]

4. You're convinced the "Crown Point" is still the most accurate barrel ever.
.

so do you qualify as an old fogey if you still have one.....and have been known to use it in the event of chops?

[Vex]

If you've ever prayed that they would make a "working" Venturi bolt for your Pro-Lite.

And by the way: the Crown Point kicks major boo-tay! :headbang:

[Vex]

If you've ever put tiger stripes and leafy branches on your Whipper-Snappers.
