Pictures that make you go "Hmmmm..."

[The JOE]

From the PSP LA Open http://www.mnpig.com/images/action/L...day3%20113.jpg
I believe that is a player on Dynasty down there with... wait a minute, the barrel completely off his gun, kinda looking rather soaked in paint. (I could be wrong, if it's not a Dynasty player then it's not so much a picture that makes you go "Hmmmmm..." anymore.)

Anybody got any information on this situation? It seems kind of absurd to me.

I heard this crazy rumor from some pothead ref at a field I went to whos played some amatuer stuff, that you can unscrew your barrel alittle and it lowers the fps so it arcs sooner so you can hit someone behind their bunker like a low snake....

maybe he wasn't kidding.

if it is a dynasty player, im thinkin his shiney new shocker 03 had a bit of a chopping/boltstick issue....

[dansim]

aww poor shocker(if its dynasty)

[Duck Hunt]

Does look like a shocker....poor guy, doesn't he know shockers are just wanna be mags? =P

Well if you ran a 2 piece barrel, and removed the front half (leaving just the back), you'd drastically lower the velocity and could try using the gun like a mortar then to loft it up and down and nail them on the head.

Don't you know they work in completley different ways, therefore are nothing like a mag? Just because it has a single tube design doesn't make it a mag.

It doesnt lower it as much as you would think... as most of the fronts are mostly porting anyways. I have done this with my ACI Phat system, in the rain, rather than taping barrels, I just take the front off, leaves me with an uported four or five inch barrel - doesnt cause that much of a drop in velocity - 10-20 FPS over the chrono.

Yeah it was my form of humor...

Sorry man, I'm just so sick of hearing that.

Betcha he's wishing he had a twist-lock barrel now!

[1stdeadeye]

I don't think a twist lock would have helped with that much paint in the breech.

Who won anyway?

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

That definitely looks like an extremely bad case of paintballs broken in the breech and someone on dynasty desperately trying to take care of it before he gets bunkered.... wait, too late. Too bad Smartparts doesn't produce spyders, then dynasty would be using a more reliable gun then the 03 shocker (just humor there folks, but that photo looks pretty bad since when Dynasty was with WDP they usually only had to use swabs to take care of breaks and such, guess the money's worth it though.

[ej_y4]

that was Dynasty. he couldnt get his gun to fire when he got to the snake. It didnt really matter because Dynasty creamed them.
on another field a guy broke paint in his halo b. he ended up taking it off and putting paint in by hand. after about min he moved up the field and for got his hopper, and got pulled for it

LOL, the Shocker's barrel threads probably stripped out.
