AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Rat - love the Tribals, man, all you need is a Fluster and you'll have a complete set. Good luck finding one, they're hard as hell to find, but you might have luck over at the Tribal Owner's Group.
My collection:
Tribals - these are all in various states of working order and not, mostly trying to get a full set of 5 to a point where they look mostly stock, but are anything but.
1. Addicted
2. Fluster
3. Mephisto
4-5. BBT (x2, and most of another in pieces)
6-7. Twister (x2)
Tippmanns - my mainstay markers, always have one or two of these in the gear bag. Just need a couple more and I'll have a (semi) full set - I'm not going after either of the SMG's, and I'm stopping with the A5 and C3 from their new paint flingers.
8. .68 Special (based on a SMG-60, factory converted)
9-10. SL-68 (x2)
11. SL-68 2 (made up as a stock classer)
12. Pro-Am
13. Carbine
14. ProCarbine (the newest-to-me marker in the collection, got a hell of a deal on this one)
15-16. ProLite (x2)
17. Model 98 (with ASP's pump kit on it)
18. Model 98 Custom (my first marker ever, still have it and use it all the time)
Mags - my new favorites and go to markers.
19. .68 Classic, powerfeed left (with Doc's 'cocker barrel adapter)
20. .68 Classic, powerfeed right (my wife's little beauty)
21. Micromag (ASP sold knockoff, at least) w/a Classic valve and RT on/off - still tweaking this one
Various - some of these I went after on purpose, others just kind of fell into my lap or came with other deals.
22. EXC-68 (Rob "Tyger" Rubin's old VM he sold last year, didn't mean to win the auction but here we are)
23. Trracer
24. Jackal RDL mini-halfblock (and soon to be sent for midgetizing... okay, not soon, but whenever I get the spare $$$ *sigh*) 'cocker - this is my large project marker, it's got every bell and whistle you can think of for a mechanical 'cocker, and will definitely turn heads when she's done.
That's less than I thought I had (could swear I had 30+, but I guess not) but still a lot of paintball equipment for how often I actually play the game - about once a month. And always looking for that next deal, sadly enough.
1- Alien Mag = electropneumatic, fully customized mag
2- CF e-Mag = again, a fully customized e-Mag with RPG stuff, CF battery pack, barrel and grips, ULE lowers with X-Mod
3- Pneu-Warp-Tac-1 = still waiting a few parts to get it ready for play but will be a real shooter with a Q-Loader
4- Splash Classic Mag = great looking one!
5- Pump ULE warp left mag = also waiting some parts to be complete (Jay's pump kit)
6- Pump Classic Mag = "just" a classic with an original pump kit
7- Lapco Grey Ghost = original one from 1990
8- Tippmann SL-68 Special = old one but in As New condition. Bought from a guy that used it twice and left it for 15 years in the closet
9- WGP Ranger = original one. Just bought it on MCB
10- Splatmaster = also, original one
11- Brass Eagle Nightmare = that's reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaly old...
12- A brazilian pump called Crossball from 12 years ago
I think that's it. Not a HUGE collection but a good one though. It'll keep growing with time...
The family is growing so... UPDATED:
1- Alien Mag = electropneumatic, fully customized mag
2- CF e-Mag = again, a fully customized e-Mag with RPG stuff, CF battery pack, barrel and grips, ULE lowers with X-Mod
3- Warp-Tac-1 = still waiting a few parts to get it ready for play but will be a real shooter with a Q-Loader. No longer pneu though. Will have a 45 single trigger mech frame, more suited to the marker's theme.
4- Splash Classic Mag = great looking one! - soon to be a pump with AGD pump kit
5- Pump ULE warp left mag = also waiting some parts to be complete (Rainman229's pump kit)
6- Pump Classic Mag = now it will sport a centerfeed classic twistlock body and Jay's pump kit in full chrome beauty.
7- Lapco Grey Ghost = original one from 1990
8- Tippmann SL-68 Special = old one but in As New condition. Bought from a guy that used it twice and left it for 15 years in the closet
9- WGP Ranger = original one. Just bought it on MCB
10- Splatmaster = also, original one
11- Brass Eagle Nightmare = that's reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaly old...
12- A brazilian pump called Crossball from 12 years ago
13- Pneu-Micromag: with Jay's Micromag clone kit and my pneu'd Intelliframe
14- Pneu-Dallara: with RPG vert pneu'd by pneumagger (still in the works)
15- Electro-Karta: with a UMF modded to use an electronic trigger (not electro-pneu and also still in the works).
16- RT Classic: bought my old one back. Plain RT Classic with a black body. Currently using a Q-Loader.
So, basically, a few changes in my pump projects and a some new aquisitions. Not so many but some important ones like the Dallara and the Karta. These will kick-***!!!

Yea, I am still on the prowl for a fluster. I hang out on TOG, and check it everyday (screen name is Skwid)
Skwid! Thought I recognized the collection. What I'm doing with mine, to increase performance/reliability yet keep them as stock appearing as possible, is replacing the AOCs w/Edwin's TILPRs, replace the HPR with WGP Ergo's (the closest to outward appearance as I can get), and then replacing the bolts, valves, and chips internally.
Hey, how do you like that NDZ Dropkick? I've got a FBM Powerangle, and the placement of threads and bolt holes, as well as the lack of roundness in some parts is making me look further afield for something similar from somewhere else.
Yea, I have ram springs in all of them, and I just bought a TILPR and installed it in the Mephisto. I am waiting on a drill bit and set screw from Edwin so I can finish installing it. Eventually I will get a TILPR for the Addicted. I bought a gauge from Edwin, now I just need to get some microline so I can tune the LPR's on all my Tribals.
I LOVE the drop kicks! Those little pieces of metal make so much of a difference. I highly suggest it.
1. BPS full-mill p-block Twister Autococker with all AKA/Belsales/CCM parts (J2 hinge frame, etc.)
2. SP 2002 vert feed Shocker with all the upgrades (and soon Glacier AT!)
3. PTP Cool Camo Micro-cocker w/CCM slider
4. First gen Shocktech SFL Mini-cocker pump project
5. MP-A5.45K Tippy A5 RT SMG
I slimmed the collection WAAAAY down.

Red/Black Acid BPS Twister Cocker
Bright Black Y-Grip/Warp ULE Mag
Blue 99 Dark Angel w/Matching Accessories

AKA Featherlite Viking 2k5 mill-bought from Bartman beatiful red anno has tadao, bolt pin, and Rob-Town
X-mag bought from tunaman in 04 was his last x-mag that he sold new.. Pewter should see a nice gloss blue anno soon. Has fireblade and X-power
Custom Annoed Gloss Blue to Black DM5 bought from tracker who is my friend has every custom part you can think of definetly the fastest gun i have. Also has the only CP trigger that has the back curve to be put on a DM5.. it was my friends design so they refused to make one for the DM5 just 4s and 6s also has Pred, and Tadao- pred isnt working at the moment, evolve and 2 liter
i dont use:
Tigger stripped Spyder Special Edition-got this gun when i was 13 it is in the motorhome of a field owner... need to go get that back.
I have several guns in storage as well mostly in pieces but im sure if put them together they would function..
that list is one spyder classic powerfeed right...
Hammer pump- was first gun my parents bought me
then my brother has 2 mags in his possesion both are classics one is in storage and unavailable the other he just bought
Im more of a mad scientist/evil genius, than a horder or whore. All my guns were bought as projects, or became projects
BE Talon- was a gift from my girlfriend (now my wife), she had no clue what she was geting into
BE Eradicatur- my first semi, cut down to a single trigger, valve mod, replaced broken sear pin with a broken drillbit
Tippmann 98 custom- my first decent gun, its had every mod I can do to it, its a mech tippy thats been clocked at 21 bps at 200 ft+ curtesy of the super RT, Apex, and Qloader
Dragun "The One"- my first EP gun, Tboard, custom milling, custom valve, custom ram, custom bolt...., there isnt a single stock part on the gun
Dragun Dragunfly- my frist cocker (Ok its a focker....) halfblocked, milled for weight, cutom valve, custom bolt, converted to a FASOR firing system (pretty sure bazookaboys cocker is the same....and I thought I was the only one)
Bob Long classic intimidator- Tequila sunrise with matching barrel and revy, Z eye covers (the stock plastic ones broke) super eyes, custom ram, adjustable ram cap, AIM 68 reg, custom bolt and pin
M3 black dragun- picked this up for $35, looked brand new, had the alum handle instead of the plastic. I cut the handle down to just enought to hold the noid, then I relocated the board, battery and triggerswitch to fit it into a Styer AUG airsoft. bullpup ran from a remote, Qloaded. not quite finished, but Ive shot it
My Timmy- built it from new parts-ASP gen 3 body chrome, AIM Rage frame, CP bearing trigger, blah, blah blah
98 custom RT I picked up on AO as a loaner,thanks dixie
pirahna EVO, my electroloaner, bought it to build a custom ep, but the pmi bore is different than what I needed so I scrapped the project and threw it back together with a bunch of mods
Delta 68 modded to a bucketchanger on a bottmline because the stock piercer is a piece of crap
and my primary
QTRTEmag- Classic RT valve and stainless hopper left body, air through rail, emag sight rail, hump emag lowers(thanks Darthmag), Noxx barrel adapter, Empire barrel kit, Qloader with clamping 90, centerflag hyper flow 201 in a reversed Kapp cradle, kalibre tank cover, Level X
its going to Cal this weekend to get the Tboard installed, and my next trip to the shop Im going to mill the rail, body and adapter to fit the bounce beam eye from SD
Every one of these guns has occupied a large portion of my time, obviously some more than others, I could write a story about every one of them, but I figure 90% of you stopped reading long ago
