Collection, Obsession or Hoarding

[stimpysan]

What do you think, and I have enough parts to build 5 or 6 more.

Love the z-grip pnuemag.

[MingusX]

Compulsive hoarding ;)


Wish it was my room :(

[kcombs9]

You have no room to talk until you end up on the tv show hoarders... :)

[Olsson]

No, that seems to be completely normal. *cough* Pretty much like my place actually - although I think I only have 12-15 Mags in total. What.. ..you mean.. ..don't everbody..?

So, you lurk around here as well, Mingus. Well met - as long as you leave any Automags for us compulsive hoarders. Ehh.. collectors, I mean.

[OPBN]

Aside from the Chimera and Z framed Mags, you seem to have a lot of the same thing. I have multiple mags, but each is pretty different from the other.

[Justus]

Do you supply an entire team? That's the only reason I could think to have that many of the same (or very similar) marker.

I couldn't justify that to my wife without showing some kind of sizable variation in what I already have, and a 3-page dissertation on why the different marker is "needed". :rofl:

(The dissertation couldn't go past 3 pages because her eyes would have glazed over by then)

[stimpysan]

The original idea here was to build a bunch of mags so we could get the old gang together and play out behind my house. I started buying all these old mags with funky set-ups and cut trigger frames and converted them all back to the way you would get them out of the box. I have piles of expansion chambers, old plastiuc grips, steel braided line and some stuff I've never seen before. Well, the old gang never got around to coming and playing and I just kept buying and rebuilding and this is what I have left. I had a 2k9 micro with Emax valve, to nice, sold it. To other chimera framed guns including the joker mag, sold them too. I think I've had every color ULE body.

You are right there is no need to have so many of the same gun. I am going to slim down the herd and get more into custom mags. I've got a splash one coming and a nice Galactic Z body to make another.

[hill160881]

I love it :eek:

[skipdogg]

Hmmm. I see a sick brain in that picture. But its a good sickness!

[stimpysan]

I forgot to add I didn't even picture the rest of the guns. The cockers, Ego, Ion, A-5, 98 and pumps. Would you believe on the first of April the only thing I owned paintball related was a BOA barrel. And that's where it started.

[mpsd]

Nice collection you got there, you obsessed whore LOL

Here's my Mag wall:

And there some other Mags on my pump wall as well:

I have a lot of Classics too but, as OPBN said, I like varying them a little bit. :headbang:

:cheers:

[audioSLAVE]

I love these pics. They're fun to look at and makes me think I don't have too much of a problem myself. :)

[stimpysan]

You don't have a room you want to rent do you? I'd be in there shooting them everyday. Man, now that's a mag wall. :clap:

[ricco220273]

How can something so wrong
Be so right

[wixxxman]

WoW thanks for the boost now all i have to do take some of my wifes shoes and clothes head down to the local pawn shop,''HERE I COME CRAIGS LIST''.You know my wife say's i have a problem too.I think she brings her friends over just to reasure her that i have a problem.You know what drives me CRAZY is when her friends bring there husbands over and they have no hobbys and the say WOW YOU HAVE ALOT OF PAINT BALL STUFF .Then they tell me about the one time they go paintball and took out the hole team because they where a sniper.I didn't even know they existed in paintball.I though you had players and campers WHAT DO YOU NEED ALL THOSE GUNS FOR .But What i say is ''you go clothes shoping,I buy paintball stuff.You buy plants,I go paintballing,You buy sexy underwear,I buy paintball parts .But what is really funny is i took her out on our aniversery romantic the hole deal.Before we climb in to bed and we exchange gifts she was so happy with what i got her.But when i open the box and found that she didn't get me the paintball part i need to finish my project.The look on my face probably said it all.She looks at me and says'' IS THAT ALL YOU THINK ABOUT!!!!!!!!.I didnt even respon to her cause i knew it was a trap.Then she said next what would have been easier to take jumping in front of an oncomming semi.''PAINTBALL ISN"T EVERYTHING""So what i did is found a website that she now orders stuff from,But now im broke.SORRY GUYS FOR THE RANT BUT MAYBE You guy's have any words of advice? :spit_take

[ricco220273]

I showed my wife these pics
And said that is what my goal is
She said I want the money not the wall
She was not overly impressed
She doesn't understand

It's not her job to understand. She can't make a sammich or wash dishes with a paintball marker.

[aerosaaber]

What's up with the model VW? I mean are you obsessed with VW's or what?

[stimpysan]

When I was 15 I bought a vw van the same color for 30 bucks and fixed it up. My dad got me that model the year before he passed away for X-mas.

[OneSelfLost]

I love these pics. They're fun to look at and makes me think I don't have too much of a problem myself. :)

Agreed!

Its not only an obsession.. its a way of life, a religion. And I'm with ya brother! Right on! :headbang:

[Dover]

i had a gloss black one, sold it.

dust olive green mini, sold it.

[BigEvil]

I need to get some pics of everything together... it's tough because I always either have things loaned out or in pieces all over the joint :eek:

[Ratzo]

I so need to get my stuff all put together.
Currently I only have an E-Tac, and a ULE mag put together.
When I get around to reassembling I'll have 13 to hang on my wall.
And no I don't see any problem with your current mind set.

[bound for glory]

one paintball gun at a time was all i ever needed. but whatever :confused:

[rifleman wi]

I currently have 3, i had 2 custom bodied Emag projects at one point, now i have an Etek framed Mag in the works eventually. Right now i have a...

TacOne- Milsim setup, rail mounted T2W Stock, PTP Batt. Pack Foregrip
MiniMag- 10 Round SpringFeed Pistol, green SP Wood Grips
MiniMag- 13 BPS Hyperframe, ReTro Valve

[Dover]

I love this thread. <3

[kevdupuis]

I'm lucky my wife supports my habit, heck she even shoots an X-mag.

[GEE TEE]

You can never have enough pumps ;)

[cougar20th]

I don't have a current "collection" picture. I'm up to 27+ right now.

I don't have a wall picture. My guns aren't exiled to some small corner of the house. The majority (18) are in what used to be a china cabinet. It is located in the more formal living room in my house. Yup wife tolerates a bunch.

Its a older picture. There are currently 18 in it. not necessarily the ones shown either
http://www.mcarterbrown.com/gallery/data/1005/Display.JPG

I consider it collecting. But I also consider some of the one-off milled ones I have as works of art. At least they are beautiful to me.

[kevdupuis]

If I'm ever in your neck of the woods remind me, I want to "borrow" the splash classic RT and the Z-grip. :ninja:

The Splash classic has been rearranged.
The body went onto this gun
http://www.mcarterbrown.com/gallery/data/500/Blue_smear_pair.JPG
Classic RT M90 Pnuemag, lvlx

And the rail, valve & other parts went onto this gun.
http://i509.photobucket.com/albums/s338/BigEvilOnline/My%20markers/DSC_0110.jpg
Classic RT E90, ult, lvlx Warped

The zgrip gun sadly was disassembled and many of the parts reside in a box currently.

[mpsd]

I wouldn't mind getting that Z grip off of your hands, you know? ;)

[stimpysan]

It's a bad day in black rock my friends. Here's what's left of my wall. I packed up and moved out only letting her see the tail lights as I drove away. I will rise again to build a bigger and better wall. :clap:

Geez that's not so bad, i thought you were gonna say you got broken into.

[under-dog]

Wow gotta thank you all. This way when I get another marker and the wife catches wind I Casanova show her this thread....:)


Or she might just get more scared.

Somenice collections and hey Justus!

[kevdupuis]

Here are 22 of the 30 I have.

Five of the other eight are still packed away and the final three are in various ststes of disassembly.

BTW, the X-mag is the wife's and the calender is for date reference.
I really need to put something together to properly display everything.

[Pyrate Jim]

Can-Con?
I've run into them a few times at EMR.

I consider myself a collector. Over 100 markers and never more than 3 of the same.
There are three 'Mags in the pile ~ one Sydarm, one Classic pump, and one MicroMagRT.

[voodoo]

I have a z frame mag I just got, are the frames rare or pretty common? I have only seen a few before.

Only 400 were made and I'm sure quite a few either got thrown away, burned in a fire :rolleyes: or were destroyed by modding and what not. If I was a guessing man, I'd say there's about 250-300 still roaming around.

This one is fully functioning, and shoots pretty good. This is the first mag I have ever really shot, and it is something completely different for me. I have another one I got with it, but it does not fire right. It kind of rapid fires like the bolt wont stay cocked or like co2 cycle.

Hey there UnderDog! Welcome, from the X7OG!

That's what I do too. Every time my wife says "you're buying more paintball crap?" I show her something like this and say "It could be worse!" :rofl:
