        Umm, no it wasn't. And I wash my C4 pants, although the tag says not to.


        I believe I read somewhere that glen palmer was the maker of the first semi auto paintball marker.

        For me 1000 is to much (all at once) for a marker

        I've seen paint hit eachother in the air, but it was from dropoff, so they were both out of the same gun.

        That's all I got.

          I ahve the pb2xtrmes magazine, that has the history of paintball..I could probably dig up the first semi auto in there..

          And there is a video somewhere of a guy and his freestyle ,throwing some paint into the air and then shooting it.,.,..

            no clue

            EMAG

            technically it was palmer's autococking pump conversion called Camille (SP) but i believe that the first production semi was the PMI-3

            personally i , as a recreational player who has no use for one, would have to say yes. but i guess it all depends on the needs of the player and the quality of the marker.

            only on video

            dont know

            dont know

            depends on the tournament, there are several sets of rules.

            maybe.

              Answering questions in random order here -

              Yes, I have seen paintballs hit each other in the air. It's happened to me once or twice at the field over the course of a few years and a lot at the hill challenge game at SCAO II (lot of Xmags/Emags there).

              As for the Dye pants being machine washable, I would hope that if they can withstand whatever you would go through during the course of a paintball game, they can hold up to your washing machine. I've had a pair of Dye pants for about 2 1/2 years now and I just hose the mud off throw them in the washer after every time I play. I babied them at first since they were expensive, but soon realized that it didn't make much difference.

              Biggest/smallest bore size - are you wanting a brand or a number? It would vary depending on temperature and humidity, among other things.
              My feedback

              Made in USA - it matters.

                          A skid of paint is usually 108 cases. There are two different sizes of skids that are generally used in packaging. I've ordered 54 cases before and that was half a skid.
                          I believe it is E-mag but it can be spelled Emag also. E mag doesn't look right to me.
                          Ultralight answered this.
                          I personally think so. When I buy high end guns I usually wait a few months for the price to drop below $1,000.
                          Yeah, it's pretty cool.
                          Tippmann probably takes the largest bore size hands down. You could roll an orange down their stock barrels! *Slight exaggeration*
                          Probably the .679 Freak insert. Not much use for anything smaller. If there is a smaller bore size, it was probably something custom.
                          LOTS of ways. Usually by number of players eliminated/still alive, flag pull, and flag hang.
                          There's probably some newer member on here who is just looking for advice that has never touched a Mag.

                          My question for you: Why doesn't AO have a built in Spellcheck?

                            i have seen a ball hit another ball in midair. it was really cool. i was snap shooting at someone, and when i snapped out and shot, i saw my ball hit his ball in midair and just make a small cloud of mist which quickly went away. it was really cool and it would have made for a great picture.
                            i too have shot down someone barrel before. it was my brothers. we were playing and he thought he had a barrel break, but when he went to clean it, he noticed that it wasn't his color paint. and just before then, i swear i had hit him, but he didn't see or feel a hit. so i have reason to believe i shot down his barrel.

                              biggest ive seen is a .697 odyessy from one of their kits

                              54 cases is a half skid? i hope if you order a whole skid they dont stack 108 cases on top of eachother, that would be bad

                              tournament scorings differ by how many players are on the field at the same time ie 3,5,10 man teams... play greg hastings to figure that out
