Wierdest Sounding Marker...

[LudavicoSoldier]

My old PMI-1 made a kinda "phonnnnnnnnk" noise. My old unibarrel phantom honked as well.

I'd say probably an improperly set matrix, is a little weird sounding, it sounds like a good rank fart to be truthful.

Is a paintball marker actually considered a "firearm" by the ATF? I don't think so.

Bull's fart all the time... Haven't you ever been around cattle? I'm pretty sure they have farms up in Jersey!

Gotta love the "wet fart" sound of older spool valve markers. My favorite!

Paintball MARKERS are not consdered firearms so this law does not apply

id have to say assault 80 is the weirdest if you ask me.

oh ya...viper VM1's sound pretty weird.
they're incredibly loud and have that *PING* noise to 'em.

What I thought was the strangest sound I'd ever heard on a paintball field was probably the first time I heard a PMI-3 running out of air - where the marker doesn't cycle completely so it burps through 20 cycles really fast. I remember the first time I saw one in 1990, a guy we regularly played against showed up one day with a PMI-3 and we were all terrified every time we heard that sound. We'd think he was shooting full auto or something. It took us about a month to figure out it meant he didn't have any air so we should actually be bull rushing him instead of cowering in fear.

Man ... I miss the days when it was 16 people with pumps vs. the 4 guys with semi autos. :)

Definitely have to concur on Nova 700's....that "click-thump" sound still scares the crap out of me to this day...a teammate had one and since the sound is nondirectional, you could never tell where it was coming from. Just "click-thump" and you were gone!

This same guy has a Custom BM2K with an AKA Sidewinder on it...the whirring sound the reg makes as it recharges absolutely fascinates me.

'03 Shockers have a weird sound to them...it's hard to describe.

The old Shoebox Shockers always sounded like a mistimed 'cocker to me....

An SMG 60 is the strangest sounding gun. I'll post a clip at some point.

The ring from a mag with an 8" crownpoint barrel is also pretty wild. Not only is it LOUD, but it "Pings" with every shot:)

[Igotu]

just if anybody wants to know i saw an smg 60 for sale on ebay today.

The VM68 I played with the other day had quite the loud hammer sound..

Tippmann A-5's with stock barrels are cannons, and they seem to have an impact when they hit you (one spun my mask around once, I could've lost my nose ).. where's your mid guy when you need him

I have a Maverick that I use occasionally, but you almost need earplugs to shoot it without the "barrel extension"

I don't know how you guys say Vikings/Excals make weird sounds, as there is hardly any (to my experience)...

Some Matrices and most Shockers also have quite odd sounds.. like *pop - there goes 500psi-*

Cockers have the psh-chk type sound, very unique..

I'm done now...

[captian pinky]

captian jack is correct in saying that the nova is the wierdest sounding marker but that is of course stock and having nothing done to it it is very guite and is intresting to shoot my uncle has one

[JoshK]

wow...old post...but thanx for you imput :)

[automagkid24]

Yah nova for sure

[XSSPL]

hands down - the strangest sounding marker I've ever heard in my playing experience were the ORIGINAL Cockers - "chick, bloop, chick,slish,bloop" - fu**ing odd if you ask me.

[skife]

BKO with no barrel = pak pak pak pak pak
mag was waay quiet.
cocker - klachink klachink
pgp missing the spring that prevents the bolt from sliding back when not haning out of it - huge pop and lots of CO2 smoke, looks kinda like a black powder rifle.
