    1600 down the drain

    Well by the smiliey it couldn't be to bad now could it? My uncle calls me a few days ago and said his son just bought a paintball gun and they want to start playing on their 50 acre property. I'm the only person he knows with extensive paintball knowledge. So, I go over today, and he tells me about the land, I tell him about speedball and everything.

    We go on the computer and its time to buy some stuff I was thinking pbgear but the tax would be insane for us illinois residents, so I ended up picking firstcallpaintball.com, they had some good stuff, not the greatest selection though.

    So, I first need a setup for my cousin, his dad said nothing expensive, just simple. So, I buy a spyder imagine, reloader, 48/3000 crossfire nitro tank, and a vforce shield mask. My other cousin needed a tank for his em1 so I got him the same one, I also got him the same mask. He still had the old school VL2000 so I got him an eggy. My uncle already had some scubas for something with motobikes.

    Now the fun begins, I bought a chrono and fill station. Now, my uncle needs a gun, he says buy anything, whatever is the best. I look for mags, firstcall doesnt have any emags or anything. So, I look at angels, but settle on an e-worrlock cocker and get him an eggy+a 68 45 crossfire.

    It was cool spending other peoples money, a lot of cash for a kid my age

              Well depends.

              Around here we have the freshest paint, we open and inspect ever case we sell, and we have a good selection from white box econo paint to Hellfire and Evil tournamnet paints.

              I have people buy the 5 gallon buckets of Sports Authorty crap paint and wonder why thier guns are all gooie at the end of the day.

              Then I get to charge them labor to fix problems with the guns when they dont buy them from me and with spyders thats just fine with me as I make more on the labor and repair parts as I do on selling the gun

              I have a lot of people stop buying paint online becaue of problems with breakage, and just not well kept paint.

              Remember if you dont support you local shops you wont have local shops for long.

                        No, because you are helping keep those local shops open.

                          50 acres in Illinois? Do they live on a farm? I wish I had 50 acres a scuba tank and my own field, I would be out there everyday, but I live on this little half a acre lot with neigbors who look at me funny and a bit worried when I take out my paintball marker. Must of been fun though I would love to do that.
