      If they (Tiberius) simply took an T8 and changed the name to SA8 and added the "NOT FOR RECREATIONAL USE" inscription to it then it becomes something other than a paintball marker. THAT decision is not up to the player, period. We can't have individuals deciding this. If we did eventuially some idiot would end up playing with an FN303 with the weighted rounds!

        But legally speaking you are right...

        hmm maybe one reason is the lack of an over pressure blow off valve, the other might be that many of the sa-8s didnt have an adjustable reg.

        so per the manufacturer that has been stated multiple times these are not t-8s and should not be used as such.

        your argument still persists at if you can get it at limits than its all good but what if your reg fails and without the blow off you dont recognize it and zing me your buddy in the back of the head with a 600 fps shot, not so safe now huh.

        Its just a matter of general safety equipment and a lack there of so as such just settle with the idea that while a fun thing to have and a good deal these just shouldnt be used on a field.

        But as tracker always says stupid finds a way bro see you soon.. hopfully

              Well have you seen the latest? Apparently their is a tac8-R on the market. It appears to have a fixed relief valve just like the s-8's. I'm sure there are differences. At least I sure hope there are!!

              I traded my s-8 in for a blem tac-8. I just wanted a cheap backup for people to borrow. Wasn't looking to be part of a holy war...

              I hope you guys can plan sinnerball for a different weekend this year. Then I may be able to make it!
