    Brass Eagle, Evil empire.

    I hate how BE buy's some of the best companies with well established products and abuses that by making them with cheaper materials because they know even if they break alot people will still buy them becuse of their reputation. Like Revy's, they buy them and then start making them with cheap materials. They notice they break more, but people still buy them, and as a plus, people end up buying new shells every other week because they'd rather spend the 11 bucks than buy a new loader, even though over time they will end up sinking more money into buying new shells for their revy than it would have cost them to buy a freeking Halo. I don't care that much about some companies monopolizingmost all paintball compaies(even though it would suck), as long as they still made the same product and didn't change it for the worst. I know there are countless other BE hating threads so flame all you want, But you have to agree almost everything that BE touches is cheaply made and not built to last longer 3 seconds.

    Ah, thank god I have an old style revvy. I have the old shells with the xboard, no shell breaks at all. Too bad I just bought a halo today, now the revvy will just sit there.

      They are cheap as anything do you know what they use to give those cheap crap balls that orange color? The owner of a paintball shop told me it was a rust oxidant(pretty sure term might be a little diffrent). Do you know what that does to most barrels?

        an oxidizer causes oxidation ,oxidation causes rust. Did he say the paint causes oxidation or the paint was an oxidizer? Seems kinda weird, and plus, if you are using anodised alumnium, it's not gonna rust.

          Hmm..... I must be lucky then because my revy is a post B.E and it's been hit plenty of times without any problems. On top of that, I've had it slammed into a wooden bunker ( Of course my body probably absorbed most of the impact), then had it drop onto the ground, and it was still in perfect shape. The paintballs were OK too.

              Yah, didn't they have to recall some masks. Nothing they make is quality. They must be stopped soon or the whole indusrty will be made of cheap flimsey plastic. oh yah,if you have a pre BE Revvy laying around you could sell it easily, probibly for more than it cost new.

                thats the exact(well one atleast)reason i'm switchin to a halo.


                my eggo, i take it apart to clean out some paint that got in there, screw in one of the shell screws around the raceway, and crack there it goes, the whole screw holder shattered and i didnt even put any force into it, just barely screwed it in, not tight at all. i HATE BE. ODYSSEY ALL THE WAY.

                  Man, im sloppy about changing my lenses. this used to be ok, i would use a pair of spectra lenses for like a year before changing them cause they got so scratchy i couldnt see. now after about a month i notice stress cracks around the nose peice. maybe i should start taking that worning about changing your lenses everytime they take a hit seriously.

                              ok, most brass eagle guns suck, but they are sold at wall-mart, do u buy other stuff at wall-mart and expect it to be extremly good quaility. Brass-eagle brings people into the game of paintball buy have cheap products at wall-mart i have seen be guns work well and i have seen some work horrible of the same model too(BTW after fixing my friends advenger the person who designed it should be shot) Brass eagle money has helped JT do thing they have never done before (look at their new website and all the new stuff they have, dont tell me that JT could of done that without BE money. also i admitted the new BE revys have problems but dye had preblems with their sticky grips and no one made post about how gey dye was and how u should boycott them. Also look at the new eggos, every pro team in nppl is using them. Im sure kev will be able to add 2 this so ill shutup now. also if u dont like be guns dont use them i dont Be doent expect anyone 2 use their guns in tournys
