Yes, that would be Matt Davis. He has moved back so I guess we'll see more of him around here if he ever finds a new job. His suggestion was for me to send my gun back in to Airgun but I wanted the final say so from Tom.

Hey man thats great about the tourney, good job.
As far as your breaking paint prob I know how you feel. I got my sfl and halo a 2 weeks ago. I ripped on it in the back yard and it shot fine, went through 3 tubes. Next day I go to the field and as I start cronoing I would break every 4th ball I shot. I must have wasted a 1/2 case trying to fix it. Finally I put my revy back on, dropped my bps to 14 and made my super bolt a foame (thanks to tunaman). It shot alot better for the rest of the day only had 2 breaks through my next case.
I've sent my old superbolt in for a new one w/ foame. I hope it makes a bigger difference.Comment

Well according to Matt Davis the superbolt cycles too fast for tourney paint, smacking it too hard, and causing the breaks. He suggested the longnosed foamie for tourney paint and cold weather.Comment

Does the store sell longnose foames that will work in the SFL? And I wonder if there is ever going to be a longnose superbolt foame
an idea maybe......

That is defeating the purpose that Load is talking about here. Its like the superbolt is cycling too fast and breaking the brittler shelled paint and paint in cold weather.. Thats the idea about changing to a longnose bolt.. So it slows the bolt down some before hitting the paint therefor not breaking it. Just to let you know i was standing right there when this conversation took place :)"Teletubbies frolicing around" -Load SM5

Okay, one question...
FIRST TOURNEY WITH SFL'S!?
Lol when we played our first tournament we atleast had decent guns:
Minimag w/Nitro
Minimag w/Nitro
Cocker w/Nitro
The people we were playing with had BE Avengers and stuff. God I did feel bad for them when I pulled and hung the flag, for the 6th time
.
Lucky you and your SFL...
GOOD JOB!! I know what it's like to win something, hehe, especially paintball because I love it. I also know what it's like to play in cold weather. Hell I live in Newfoundland! We can have 4 seasons in half an hour easy! It's raining today and 8* Celcius, tomorrow it's supposed to snow and be about -4* Celcius
, crazy weather.
Yay! You won!!
I like that trophy too!"If everything is under control your not moving fast enough."

I've been rec-balling for 3 or so years. I just never imagined myself being a tourney player. It was a whole different game and really, really fun. I plan to do it again when a good local tourney pops up and it's above freezing.Originally posted by MikeCouves

Well, if the super bolt cycles too fast is there a way to adjust the bolt foward time to match that of a standard mag bolt? Actually, if you matched the foward time the super bolt might be traveling slightly slower than a stock bolt when it smacks the paintball since it accelerates from standstill faster. If the actual speed of the superbolt is the same as or slightly slower than a regular bolt, I don't see why it would break more paint.
I would think the main reason you get one is for recoil. An emag can already cycle more than fast enough anyways.Last edited by media; 03-05-2002, 12:49 PM.Chew your food before you swallow and you can be president someday too!Comment

Sunday we played in our second tourney. Actually we played against hysperion's team, we lost, only they got to use mags and electros while we had 3 pumps, a pt extreme and a t-98 (they played low tech vs high tech). We ended up placing first in the low tech division... who knew we'd pull off 1st against a team of semi's. :) It also should be mentioned that they took 3rd because the place didnt have 2nd place trophys. What a scam.
Because I know you're all wondering, i'm takin the knee... the joker is on the left, legion is right of him, and law is right of him. Sadly, the last guy doesn't feel it necessary to join ao

congradtulations on the 3rd place, Load. I wish to play tournies but mass dosnt have many.
Anyways, i almost always use bigball in my micro. it shoots more accurate(in my barrel) and it breaks alot less than most paints. also is inexpensive. i used to have trouble shooting fast because i would shortstroke, and all the balls would blow up in the gun. not anymore, since i got my hyperframe.
im happy with my gun, and its performance still kicks me when i play with it. shoots nice, i think.This Event Really Did happen On the West Coast Of The U.S.A.
