Maybe this title isn't really suiting for this topic, but heck... its late and i lack imagination due to lack of sleep.
Last weekend i played at Paintball Jungle in Amsterdam, in the netherlands. In our country paintball is not that big, and even though the sport is growing it is not commonly known as a recreational sport. Alot of people played as rentals, but most people dont know there are a few that go out to play on a regular basis (with own gear and own paint prices)
Jungle is one of the fields that has walk on days for the rec woods player and also has a airball field for sup'air teams to play/train on (Home base of the Buddah Bandits)
Some of the players of our own field joined up to go pay them a visit, and finally play against more than 5 players in woods. (yeah, we have a small field and the turnup sucks this season so 30 vs 30 seemed nice to do once in a while)
I've recently added a warp feed to my xmag and thought this would be the right location to turn some heads between the Tippmanns, Ions, and spyders. :D
Well, it did. With a warp and a eggy i could get 14 bps @ the chrono range, (3.2 software, no xmod) mow ropes where others could'nt, could stay posted because i had no hopper sticking out, and get alot of reactions like:
- Ey! Look at that guy's marker!
- Is that some sort of Q-loader?
- Did you make that yourself?
- Where can i buy it?
- Err, how fast is that thing shooting? <-- ref asking
- Never seen that gun before... What kind of marker is it?
- Wow! what is that thing on your marker?
- Ey! A xmag with warp! Sick man! <-- one of the enlightened ones
Most people over here only know the Tippmann crap and popular stuff... But i was really pleased to meet one person in our team shooting a classic automag :headbang: By the looks of it, it was old and seen alot of action, but still doing damage! For me one of the best moments of the day, knowing that i'm not alone and some freak that uses an outdated gun.
But heck, my marker may be old and heavy, a gashog, not to mention slow compared to some high-end electro markers out these days but it still rocks and i shot about 3000 balls without any chopping. (ACE off, so lvl10 did a great job)
What can you say: Quality always shoots straight! :cheers:
