I second that.




As for an athletic sport, well as is with all activities, it is as athletic as you are.

Would you mind expanding on this? I don't see how they are a "gimmick"

...my vote is still "not right for most, but VERY right for some" - not too pricey either


Ideas:

Standard barrel for paintballs / Rifled barrel for First Strike (yes, self rifling, but try an Armson)

Standard barrel for paintballs / Secondary barrel pre-loaded with a First Strike round

Standard barrel / Apex barrel

Barrel for long scenario game / Backup "clean" barrel for long scenario game

Standard bore (good) for good paint / Large bore (beater) for dropped, borrowed or bad paint

Ported barrel for regular play / Unported barrel in case of rain, snow and sleet




Definitely not something everyone needs but certainly not a gimmick... I don't consider 5+3 packs a gimmick just because I prefer a 4 pod pack. I don't like stocks or shrouds either, but I appreciate that they match some peoples play style. This would definitely be a good accessory for "outlaw" players, scenario players, "big games" and recreational woodsballers looking for an edge or to solve a problem.

Agreed. I have no use for it but i have seen them work pretty good at long games. Best way to deal with a barrel break.
