sydarm

[rightsidefight]

whats up tom.you are my idol. youve done so many good things fo the sport and your ideas get better each day.i was think though.you guys should make a sidearm like the agd sydearm but sell them not only to police and millitary but to everyone.also you should make them cheaper in price like the pt extremes, yet customizable like your mag line.i was able to find a used sydearm for sale but due to thre rareity, the were askin as much as a regular p/f mag.please reply back and tink about my idea.

I think it costs AGD a lot to make a sydarm, so they don't make much profit off them. Oh, and learn to type a little better. It's hard to understand.

dont complain about my typeing.if you dont like i dont reply.

hmm the sydarm was offered to the public at one time but it was so costly that it was pointless. No matter what, if AGD made a sidearm the minimum price would be $350. By the way, you were not being flamed about your typing. You shold learn to accept constructive criticism rather than complaining and bickering over it.

Aside from me saying that they dont make great paintball guns - people still want them.

I think that the only reason that AGD even sells them, is that they make a ton of money off of agencies using thier perfect circle paintballs. Its kind of like how printers are so cheap, but the ink costs a fortune. I am sure thier profit margin on the sydarm is slim, but the paint to feed them they make ok on.

webby, you nailed it. the sydarm isn't all that great. you'd have better luck trying to convert your mag into a stock class mag.

ok now correct me if im wrong but isnt the sydarm just a mag...i mean as far as i knew thew cost as much as a mag cause they used 99% the same parts it just has a different body design and a place for 12grams. I would like one just because they are rare finds. whats this about the paint? if the gun is made to take.68 paint then any companys paint will work (i never even heard of agd making paint, if they do its probably contracted out to another company that already makes paint...) i have heard roumors that the valve in the sydarm was made different to be more efficent on 12 grams, but thats just what i heard not what i know.

The Sydarm reg is different. It is smaller and does not have the side inlet hole for air. I'll take a pic of my Sydarm ripped a part and you wil be able to see the difference.

I would like to see the Sydarm become available. This area of paintball may pick up in popularity. Kind of a modified stock class.
CO2 cartridges make it easy to play on unsanctioned fields.

I bought a PT Professional for the hell of it. It was a neat gun. I recently sold it, and picked up a warp instead. I never used it and it attracted too much attention.

I guess the reality is that for most rec players the Sydarm would be nothing more than an expensive novelty.

pt profesional?is hat newer then the pt extreme?or older then the enforcer?

People use the "Prefect Circle" balls with the sidearm because they are made to be perfectly round and can be filled with stuff other than the usuall paint fill. I have heard that some millitary agencies use them with a water fill because there is no mess to clean up. They don't offer these balls to paintballers because the cost per ball is quite high and I don't think any paintball player is willing to pay upwards of $0.50 per ball. I don't have the web page for the perfect circle balls but I'm sure that someone here has it and will post it for you. I hope this helps you out.

Perfect circle use a plastic shell that can be filled with different stuffs.
They are no better than gelatin paintballs in roundness etc.
They are more expensive and pointless to use in paintball.
There was a thread on this elsewhere a day or two ago including a link to the site.

The PT Professional is Paintball-Online's version of the Punisher. An improved version of an Enforcer. Mine was able to shoot 260fps regularly. And it wasn't bad for accuracy.

[rightsidefight]

y do people think sydarms only work with perfect circle? perfect circle are the same exact thing as regular paintballs only plastic.


do you have a link were i can see the pt proffesional?

That should get you to where you want to be. Also do a search for a site called the Sidearm Enthusiast's blah blah something or other (I forget exactly). Interesting stuff.
