Hoppy Checks in. "new" marker!

[HoppysMag]

so some people say i date myself in this sport, my first gun was a pump. int he days where a 9oz was "big", my first semi was a VM68. my first "pro" gun was a 68 Mag ( still have and love). im a proud and open stock class player, have a PGP and phantom, along with conversions for my maverick to make it stockclass-ish

but ladys and gentlemen i submit, for your aproval my latest marker.

if you know what it is, your an old foggy. if you dont know what it is. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY!!!

[behemoth]

Hey, how ya been Hoppy?

Still en fuego?

Sweet gun steve, hows law? treating you?

[HoppysMag]

hey guys. im doing good. school just ended for the semester so im home on xmas break.

il regale you with the story.

so one monday morning i get a call from my mother. "steve, are you expecting anyone to drop anything off? paintball stuff?" no, why. i asked. she tells me there is a duffle bag with some paintball stuff by the back door. i go through a mental check. did i loan any one anything? no. would some one just drop off stuff for me to fix or just to "adopt", no couldnt be, i havnt played in like 2 years. so i tell my mother it might be the kids nextdoors. they are jr high age, and maybe some parents droped off gear for an after school game at the wrong house. my mother says ok, il call them. i all but forget about it. now, like a month later, i get home from school and walk in my room, and sitting on my bed is a stripped out Spyder shutter body and this lovely FULLY FUNCTIONING good condition Splatmaster :wow: . i ofcourse, did a double take. then lovengly picked it up.

turns out my uncle, whos a big ebay/garage sale, type guy picked it up some where and droped it off at my house along with a bunch of other stuff. so the total price paid for this functioning piece of paintball history .......... nothing. :spit_take

i quickly dug through my tool box to find that one 12gram i always stash away some where, loaded it up and whent shootin in the back yard. amazing. id love to actualy play with this baby

[Remington]

:wow:






I hate you . . . :p


But in all seriousness, I'm quite jealous; very lucky indeed!

I just scored a GZ 1000. When the makers of the Splatmaster broke up, one contingent developed the GZ series ('89-'90). Essentially it has Splatmaster innards, with an updated (for the day) all plastic body. The barrel is a sleeve in a body extension. Operation is identical to the SM, except for the hopper feed.

The GZ wasn't what I was bidding on however. The deal came with a Sheridan/PMI-1 direct feed with a 14" barrel.......in new condition, perfect shape. I can find NO evidence it ever shot paint, absolutely zero residue anywhere inside or out.

heh heh heeeeh :clap:

... And what makes Splatmasters so special? They are indeed cool history wise, but are all too common. In fact, "Wanna buy my Splatmaster?" is one of the most common phrases said on MCB.

It's cool that it was free, though.

[Arstron]

I havnt played with mine in a few months, but I do enjoy playing with my splatmaster from time to time. Its alot of fun to use it in a game of speedball. :dance:

[Warwitch]

Nice! Damn, I havent seen a Splatster in like 10 years! :clap:

[JOESPUD27]

Nice Splatmaster! Play Airball with it...

Kidney_Theif on MCB can do that! He also makes alluminum rails and an alluminum plunger with a velocity adjuster. Just plain cool. :D

:eek: its a piece of paintball history. id take a splatmaster over any electro-wunder wizbang gun. except an Xmag. call me sentimental ( im really just xcited because i love old stuff like this. paintball guns, real guns, cars. the older the better)

now i gotta show my uncle what a nelsopt 007 and KP series look like :p

[paint magnet]

Nice, the original plastic-bodied gun.

[don miguel]

i don't understand why people like those?

[gruntbull]

ahhh the Splatmaster, man I miss my days of playing with mine in the woods near Rossburg Ohio... Good times for sure, Ted and I would SPLIT a bag of 200 balls and play from 10-4 on Sundays and still have a few tubes left.

The good old days.

Nice find for sure. Still functional I take it?

yup still works. used it in the back yard. trying to get a game this weekend to use it in. im hoping to get a stock lass game

[LegumeOfTerror]

i have a splatmaster rapide, but it leaks... :( anyone know where to get bits for em or a labeled diagram?

[fire1811]

Because its older than you.

Simply put its paintball history.

If you never experienced a pump game you need to try it. One of the best paintball experiences I ever had.

[Madmarx]

After reading all the posts I went and dug mine out of the closet.
Mine was a field rental gun.
The number stamped in the side is A 2279.
I haven't used it in years. I think I'll tear it down this weekend and see how the insides look.
A vintage piece of pb history like this must be worth a fortune!! :rolleyes:
E-bay here I come!!

[bentothejam1n]

i dont understand why you still post here :D
are you going to dday?

I know what you mean about sentimental-ness. I came in at the beginning of the electro age and am in love with the "older" electros. Things like Angel LCD's, Defiants, Bushmaster LCD's, Rainmakers, Shockers, etc., are just so cool to me. But Ego's? Eh... Ion? Eh... I don't really care for them that much.

Good luck on convincing him to shell out for a KP! :D (And if he does, get me one! :ninja: )

I personally don't think they're all that special, but they are really fun to putz around with. I've had many fun games with mine.

[SSP-SheiK]
