well that just sucks,heres my story

i had no school on friday for veterans day,so we decided to go paintballing since we hav ent gone in a while.this is the first time ppaintballing with my mag so i was very excited.i got my gear bag ready,packed up some drinks,went to the loacl pb store and filled my tanks.we go down to the field and were all suitin up so to speak.i pull my mag out(etac pieced together)out an threw the tank on it.well it airs up and it wont shoot.i was so pissed that i didnt even want to play.i wanted to use my mag so bad.plus we only go like once every 2 months or so because were all so busy.so i pull out my tippy 98 and the f'in macro bursts.god it sucked.but i went on with my 98 and kicked some serious butt.gogged 4 people(twice my brother)

Wow guys, Life is terrible.

This very thing happend to Flawlez and me when we decided to go paintballing in about 3 or so months that we havent. My Emag wouldnt shoot at all so I had to use one of his back ups. Thank God he brought like 5 guns or else it would have been a waste of a day. Even his back ups messed up on me and to make things worst I played like poo. I was doing the dumbest things on the field. Well hopefully my Emag will be working this time around when we go play and not start acting up on me.

When I played, that was a typical paintball outting 1 in 3ish times - and if it wasn't me there was always someone I was with that had the bad day. Either gun wasn't performing, paint wasn't performing, or field (owner) wasn't performing. Paintball's a crapshoot (figuratively and literally)

Part of the reason I don't bother to play anymore. It takes 10 field fee's to have one decent day.

seems like everyone is having field problems i went yestureday and basicly every gun was a blender i had to use my a-5 with a 5 inch barrel just to get past barrel breaks and breech chops (my assault 80 didnt even get past the chrono without chopping) i could basicly run past a group of renters and only be full of spray because basicly every ball chopped

I think we have all had bad days at the field, anything from working on markers to hoppers blending (yes, my halo b got hungry one day) to junk paint blah blah...it sucks, but its what we have to live with at times...all i can say is keep playing and trying to have fun...those days come along also where you can do no wrong on the field

Nothing like a good rant.

After a good nights sleep, and reflection... I added more!

First time we had the AO mini meet-up a few months ago, I showed up with 4mags...2 were mine and 2 were people's that I was converting for testing. I hadn't even got to the chrono station and 3 out four were broke down. 1 bolt leak/kink, 1 set of exploded pneumatics, and one case of emag finickeyness. I hate those days.

Since then I've narrowed my selection down to the 3 ideal guns IMO and hopefully I'll have no more reliability problems.
Pump: Phantom
Semi: Automag (pneumag)
Electro: Viking

As far as the ego's horrible trajectory... only spin can effect the flight after the ball leaves. perhaps the ego bolt imparts a topspin on the ball, or that paint is a poor choice for the gun and DW whisper barrel I'm not doubting you... I'm just saying that it seems odd.

I shot my roomates ego about a week ago for the first time. Awesome piece of equioment, and it seemed fine on the trajectory part? He still makes fun of my Emag though... chuff...

[etjoyride]

the past 2-3 times i have gone to play i have ended up either not playing at all because both my mag and cocker won't work correctly, or i use my PGP (which is fun but difficult when the others all have electros).

No.
Logan was the reason we ended up playing rec ball for so long until he finally showed up. then his quest is the one that shot me in the hand.

edit: now that I think about it logan always shoots at 270fps

I'm the tall skinny guy.

[onedude36]

ok, i dont specifically remember you though sorry. Im the fat reff in the red sweater. If you guys were there on saturday, i was playing pump, sunday i was reffing.
