I still have my VM-68 with a smarts parts barrel from the early 90's . Three weeks ago, I smoked two kids with Tippman A-5's. Both of their guns had the electronic triggers.

Before the game, they were teasing me on my old school equipment. I told them that it really doesn't matter on the gun, it's all about skill. The VM-68 had not been touched in over four years. I took it out and oiled the bolt and it was ready to go. What an awesome gun. I still shoot the gun when someone tells me that it's the gun just to prove a point.

The funny part is...I have three automags and one autococker and the VM-68 is my favorite one. I recently just added a Dye barrel and hope to test it on the field in the next three weeks.

Thanks for the memories..

OMG! I haven't seen one of those in years.

Bought one a year after I started playing in 93'...Wow time flies...I don;t miss it though, that thing weighed more than i did... :)

WOW! In 1993, i was 2 years old! Y'all are making me feel like such a young'un...

My first gun was my Spyder Classic, its about 5-6 years old...I played with it till i stopped playing about 2 years ago. I recently got back into paintball, and i bought my mag

Yep, I, too purchased a VM68 (actually an EXC-68) after a few years of playing with rentals, which were usually also VM68s. That would have been late 1994.

I regret selling it, only because it was my first paintgun. I don't miss the weight, velocity adjustment and field strip procedures. However, it worked every time and, with the addition of a Smart Parts Venturi barrel, it was fairly accurate.

Man the memories. I remember about 12-14 years ago, in the paintball store picking between the vm-68 and the Tippman 68 special. I went with the special, but oh the memories.

barrela can still be had at proteam. there is also a guy on ebay that has some sort of barrel for them about once a month. I bought an austrailian made scorpion over the VM68. Always loved them first marker that had its own milisim gernade launcher built in.

Still got my good ol VM. That thing is a workhorse. The only thing I ever had to do to it was replace the cup seal. That gun always worked. I have sold or scrapped all my old guns except that beast of a gun. Wouldnt get rid of it for anything. Heavy as hell and kicks like a be-ach but I still love it for some reason. I remember playing way back in the day when most of us still had pumps. I busted that gun out and everyone was like Woah. The first time I started to run out of air and the bolt didnt have enough power to fully recock, everyone was complaining saying I was cheating and using my gun on full auto. Good times, good times.

That ^^^ right there is why they are so hard to find now. Sheridan made nearly 400,000 of the PMI3, VM68 and the Magnum VM68's. There were literally hundreds of mods and add ons for them. THEY WERE GAS HOGS!

I have the "Old School Tri-fecta" right now - I have my Classic mag that I still use weekly. I have an original Tippman "Pro/Am" (b4 the Prolite). I have a VM68. And very soon I will add another OLD SCHOOL marker, but I'm not telling yet :). The old guys will remember it...
