I was just watching this and the episode that was on was the one where lois went out of town, hal tore apart their bedroom, and malcolm's friend, dabne or whatever, had his birthday party. For his birthday he got a paintball gun from his grandfather and they call it some weird name and say it's the best gun you can buy, and it's not clear what kind of gun it is (i thought it was a spyder or a blowback marker of the like). Well when they actually go paintballing you can clearly see he has a classic mag with an annoed hard line and powerfeed, as does everyone else. I thought this was cool, though i'm sure some may find it pointless.

Well if they said "best gun ever" it must have been a mag.

They named it the ultrawhatever 3000 (somthing along those lines with 3 or 4000 in the name) but when they shot them they were unmistakeably mags. I started wondering if one of the prop people was a mag fan, then realized that they probably weren't since they had shop goggles instead of something that would actually do them good.Originally posted by NinjeffWell if they said "best gun ever" it must have been a mag.Il n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment

Sigh, TV will never get paintball right. Shop goggles=shop work, paintball goggles=paintballI can't feel my toes . . .

It was a stacked tube blowback if I recall (in one of those "powerpacks" with a small tank and vl200 and such). People don't know the difference between that and a 1500 electropneumatiwhatever so it's all the same.
If the writers/prop directors for the show played paintball (and knew about it), it might have been a gag to the gun being a pos. who knows...Andy "Ydna" DuBuc

Every TV show I've seen uses some cheap VL or PMI marker. Fear Factor had a stunt where the contestants had to shoot bottles of liquor with a paintball gun, it was the same thing, just some walmart special.Originally posted by YdnaComment

That Blue collar show got paintball right, gun wise. I believe that Larry the Cable Guy had a DM5.Comment

In the package it might've been, i didn't pay much attention, but it definitely had a powerfeed and wasn't a stacked tube when he held it, it was definitely a mag, or one of the euro rip offs.Originally posted by YdnaIl n'y a point de sots si incommodes que ceux qui ont de l'esprit.Comment

Anyway remember "My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss" ? Horrible show, but they had a task that involved playing President with paintball guns.Originally posted by Kyle.KimberComment
