Jaws Drop at The Paintball Arena!

[Butterfingers]

It was the end of the night and I wanted to get rid of some crappy diablo midnight paint that had been sitting in the humid 80 degree weather the other day so I loaded up some of the q-pods and took some vengance on the 55 gallon drum at the back of the target range at the arena.

I cranked the pressure up slowly on my Butterfingers edition silly stupid modified Old School Retromag. I had it sitting at around 950-1000 psi and was ready to have some fun.

I unloaded the first pod... about 3.5 seconds of pure fury no chops. To me it sounded at least as fast as my 30 bps e-mag video that is so conveneiently placed in your LX cd's

Needless to say that attracted a bit of attention... All of the sudden people started filing into the target range to see what godly device could produce such a thunderous hail of paint.

I proceeded to insert another q-pod aimed the gun towards the center of the 55 gallon drum I slowly pulled the trigger and let the fun begin. Emptied no chops and a straight and true stream of paint with no more than a 2 inch spread.

When I was done there was dead silence you could hear a pin drop. The people at the target range that had tried so hard with thier flashy timmies and pimped out impulses to one up one another had just stopped. You could hear the dull hum from the halogen lamps lighting the complex.

I turned around only to see a dumbfounded look on many faces. One person just broke out in laugter/disbelief shaking his head saying "holy (explitive deleted), holy (explitive deleted)", ect. I heard a mutterance of... "oh my god that gun owns all..." "This thing has no eyes!?!?!" A few just turned away slowly not knowing what they had just seen.

I attempted to fire another pod but alas the q-loader failed me. It jammed forcing the Level 10 to work perfectly... For now the fun was over. For those filing in later they missed it. The event was witnessed by few but the legend will be passed on from generation to generation. Until next time the legend of the Butterfingers edition stupid silly modified retromag will remain engrained in the minds of all.

More to come next week... perhaps with video coverage and working q-pods...

so this is with bounce?

uhhh yea. There was a rumor not to long ago that X valves where noticbly les reactive than older retros. any truth to that?

This is one of the problems I have with all this, "my mag can shoot 30 bps" videos and stuff going around.

IT'S FULL AUTO.

neat but dumb nonetheless, and I garauntee most other guns can be set up to go "full auto" just the same - and with a Qloader feeding it, little to no chops. Take for instance from one of the Zman videos. From what i remember there was a guy using a viking in it, they said it was on "simulate mode" which basically means its firing without use of the eyes, just like as if it had no eyes.

so this is with bounce?

of course it is.

That's because they're actually pulling the trigger...

i dont care if its legal or not, its fun to watch

I make no claims about it's legality. My interest is to show how fast you can go. Anyone who makes it into more than that has some agenda for praising or booing it for reasons other than that.

the comment wasn't directed toward you, but more towards what people "get" out of these videos.

I guess its hard to explain what I'm getting at, but it involves the word hype everyone seems to hate.

[Lohman446]

THe field that I play at allows lesser experienced players full auto... just not me

How is it hype to see how fast the RetroValves can be pushed?

[teufelhunden]

Because people don't realize that's runaway, and therefore think that 'Mags actually are that fast..

[TeamNausea]

Its hype that they think he can pull the trigger that fast.

Well if they can't look at his finger and tell he's not pulling the trigger more than once, that's stupidity, not hype.

[ilikePB]

That's cool, but I'd think any high-end electro set to db1 fed by a q-loader or victory boarded halo could hit at least high 20's if not 30. Not sure though, but that's what I'd think. But it's cool either way.

everyone says their gun can do the exact same thing if they set it up to bounce like that, yet none have tried it so it must be true. even if they did they need to get it on tape so we can sift through the bs that is thrown around. its not hype its just showing how fast the gun can shoot and how fast the q can feed it would only be hype if it didnt actually do it.
