Galactic Z Body?

[56kSomeGuy]

Where can you get the body and how much does it cost?

Here is the factory site:

But as they are getting more rare they only have a couple of U.S. distribs. so try here:

http://www.paintballinc.com/cgi-bin/...6dd/Search/Run And type in "Z Body"

Where you can find the bodies at $40 to $70 off M.S.R.P.

My automag was origonally(sp?) a Z-body. I used a CP .700 bore 10" and It spun Every Single Time. COnsistantly.

the War-Pig test was flawed. if you want a better review, check out the one done by Ravi Chopera. I don't have the URL handy, but I'm sure someone else will, or if you do a search, it'll come up.

If you have a barrel that's a .696 or larger, to the point where a ball will roll out the barrel easily, it will work.

I had GREAT results with the Advantage shell paints. The only problem was that my mag, at the time, was a lvl 7 and didn't like the shells. AKA BLender.

I gave up the Z-body eventually. Yes, there was a loss in accuracy, however that wasn't what made me give it up.

I'm a front/mid player at heart, and I didn't exactly need the extra range :)

...the thing looked damn cool tho

Thankx! Its nice to see someone other than me who has used one in on this too. Also backs up the claim about the Warpig test. Anothe thing I've noticed is that with this body on the gun has a whole different sound to it too, it's hard to explain. Could be just more muffled due to the thicker body...So it seems Lvl.10 will solve any paint problems....'Jezze the GF keeps getting mad as I look at the Checkbook...Oh well she can be replaced,LOL.

Hi,
What is often referred to as "The WARPIG test" was Paintball Magazine's review of the Z-Body reprinted on WARPIG. Either way though, I'm constantly on the look-out to improve what I do.

In what ways do you think the article was flawed? The conclusion of the article was that in order to obtain best backspin performance from the Z-Body the choice of paint and barrel are critical. I still think that's a pretty sound statement, even the manufacturer of the Z-Body says that.

See you on the field,

I think flawed is too stong a word and Im sorry it was used. What the problem is that people who dont like the system use just select parts of that test to back up their claim. Where those who do like the system will defend their positions by saying that the choices in barrels were not optimized for backspin. If they as in Galactic Systemz,Yoshi had sent you the Z Barrel (Or some other Huge bore) to go with the body then the system would have been considered "Optimal" to some, atleast I think thats how the the argument goes. I actually used the closing statment from the article in one of my earlier posts (9 back I belive) to bring out that what was said was that to make the system work at all even slightly a person needed the proper barrel and paint. And I used it word for word as opposed to the guys that just use select parts of the test to backup whatever stand they are taking in the whole thing. I am sorry if we offended you. I have used things you posted or tested, like the ballistic loader test to back a few different statments on different boards. This whole thing started because of the statment "dont get it, it doesnt do anything," that I thought needed addressing. Thank you for taking the time to wade in here and as I said I am sorry if what was said was taken the wrong way.
