What are the paint prices like now? Are open game BYOP? What are the field fees like at Sam's now? Just trying to get a good feel. Daves I know what to expect... Sams I'd need some info.
Also if I bring some super noobs will they feel freaked out or will they be ok? What type of fees will they be up against for rentals and stuff?

on a normal open play day it is $25 to get in and it IS BYOP. however you can buy there paint for $75 a case.

as for noobs playing, they should be fine. as long as they KNOW that when they are hit, they are out. the regulars know 2-3 hits to get some one out... if they dont get out they will be bonus balled or get alot of trash talking. (but this is pretty much anywhere)

as for saturday and sunday the 24'th and 25'th

May 24th and 25th, Memorial Day Week-End

Only a Ten dollar field fee! Bring your own paint!

so $10 plus paint and air

I made a thread out of different threads I found on the nation.

you are welcome to browse, and PM me if you have any problems or questions. Im no expert, but I can solve most issues.

As for upgrades, there are loads, but they are much of a muchness really as the stock parts are so good! I recently won the AO fastest fingers competition by using the mini. My results with the tadeo board was noticeably lower than when I used the stock board. So I entered that video.

Oh also IF you happen to start chopping paint, be mindful that the eye holes will allow paint to run right onto the board.

I will offer up a couple of observations of two team mates and maybe you guys can confirm or deny them. I don't have a mini.

First, one team mate took a direct hit to the front grip door and the paint ran into the board and shut it down. I think he is left handed and that may expose that side more. He also called them up and they sent him a new board, no charge.

Second, other team mate took his bolt spring off to clean it and put it back on upside down. It is designed tighter on the back than in the front, so the end of the spring dug a groove into the aluminum bolt. Looks ugly and needs to be smoothed out.

Are these real and/or common? The board problem seems common. The bolt problem seems odd. You would think they would seal that board compartment or maybe the aftermarket boards are conformally coated?

[Bolter]

I believe the newer boards come coated.

As for the spring, it is conical and only goes on one way round. The other way = bad things to the bolt and paint. May need a new bolt if he gets problems.

Have heard of both these issues many times.

Because of this thread I am buying a MINI.. lol

[kurtisqpublic]

Cool deal!

[Spencer]

Got my mini, great little marker with my 16" Deadly wind barrel, very quiet, very fast..

I know this doesn't make sense but my mini shoots so fast with my gravity fed hopper, so much faster than the ion.. I mean its strange how fast it shoots.... Saved me 100$ on ahalo..

I'm assuming you are sencer fitch over on the nation? Those guys really get me with how uptight they are. Glad to hear the gun is working for you. I have my trigger tuned nicely and may get out to play a few games this weekend. I got a used pulse loader for $10. Super fast speed but it sure aint a stealthy piece of equipment! I have to say I'm lovin' my move to the mini too. Of course I still have my mech cocker and mag for backup.

Yea thats me, they usually piss me off and make an *** out of me.. I hope to play with it this weekend.. May still be getting an Xmag soon. And agian I can't believe how fast it feeds with a gravity loader..

I know I sound stupid when I say that, but unlike any other marker I have used a gravity fed hopper with were you have to shake it, this thing just works so great with it. I will post a vid.
