You picked one up? 1) That was fast. 2) From who?

I finally got my Doc's adaptor running a few weeks ago. The field paint was shooting like darts. Does Doc's adaptor make paint shoot straighter?

I've noticed the same and have an idea. My twistlock CP barrel shoots well. No complaints. It does have a little bit of play in the body though. Not much, but you can feel it if you move the barrel around. A cocker CP barrel in a Doc adapter in the same gun always seems to shoot with more precision. I chalk it up to the adapter being solidly held in place by the overtightened twistlock pin, and the fact that it seems to be tighter fit in the body.

So if the rumor mill turns out to be true, and the one large paint manufacturer (GI) buys the other large paint manufacturer (KEE), will the paint quality get better or worse ?


Can the paint even get any worse ?


Field paint like Marballizer used to be the best, now its no better than $30 dollar a box Midnight from Sports Authority.

I just shot 4 cases of marbs at legends 8. Every ball shot well, had good breaks, and no barrel breaks at all. I used my JT Imp, Demonic Cocker, my Angel A1, and level 7 minimag. I noticed the shell change, I liked that dry shell. What other changes were made besides RPS getting sucked into the mega-conglomerate? I normally shoot evil. I don't really pay attention to the politics behind paintball. IT always changes, not necessarily for the good.

I heard that Bob Long uses a grinder to prototype his guns then tries to make them work...

Marbs are now made in South Korea at the same plant making Valken Graffiti and Valken Redemption paint. I used a case of it in October at Bear Claw Paintball at their Game of Thrones scenario and the Marbs shot better than they had for several years.

Call and talk to Zach and clear up the mystery.

Why, i got my info from a credible source. If i were to call, why would they even confirm it?

Used a couple cases of Marbs field paint last month.

$65 dollar a case, worse than $30 a case Midnight from Sports Authority .

i picked up some Valken(graffiti or redemption not sure) and it is so small it barely touches going thru a .684 freak insert. now i'm going to have to get some smaller inserts. i used the .684 at Tunaball

[JKR]

Strange. Graffiti and Redemption have been coming in a solid .684-.685 for me just about every time I use it. The packaging, with the dessicant in each individual bag seems to result in very consistent paint...at least that has been my experience.

[vintage]

there was no dessicant in either bag.
