I think you'll be very satisfied with this. The Virtues are amazing - especially in a DM6.

I was really impressed with the virtue board. I havent really been in the high end gun scene for a few years so I havent seen any new stuff like that in a while. The first virtue board I saw in action was a few weeks ago in my friends ion. . Just because of that board that little ion keeps up with anything.

Jason, but for everyone too.
I just shot my first few hoppers of paint through it and got it set the way I wanted... OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH, fancy. I cant belive that thing is something that I own! I am so used to mags that shooting that thing just seemed effortless. I pull the trigger, and it shoots...every time. I can walk a trigger really fast on one of my guns now!!! Just to let you all in on how out of date I am, when the boss said it was having bolt stick, I grabbed the wrenches, he laughed and said "the program can fix that!" I seriously thought he was messing with me until he started showing me how the programing works.

At this job, I am in middle of the biggest crash course in modern paintball guns imaginable, I had no idea how behind I am. I just spent 4 hours learning as much as I could about the DM's. This stuff is crazy, that thing has 1 major moving part!

I will play with it this sunday at our big APD Shell Shock '06 game, I will let ya all know how it goes and hopefully have pics.

So now I can work on Ions, DM's, tippys, and mags... and the list will only grow.
Damn I love my job.

THANK YOU MATT! (Owner of APD)

my summer job involves interning with a hydrogeologist firm. Sure it doesnt have to do with paintball, but I will still be making $10 grand in 3 months

its one of the shocktech dm5's Kinda looks melted, but I like the look.

[MoeMag]

WOW!
We got the B2 boards in, and we modded up one of our hoppers to run really fast... for the first time, I saw a gun shoot its own balls out of the air . I could not believe it.
they would slam into each other about 10 feet from the barrel and explode. UNBELIEVABLE!

[Indignant]

actually, i think someone did figures on that a while ago and the only way it's possible is if you are having issues with dropoff or something.

[kosmo]

Yeah, thats not a good thing. Now stop talking about paintball, this is the friendly corner.

[MoeMag]

The guys in the shop called it drafting... you know like in nascar.
The leading paintball is experiencing more drag than the following one because it is traveling in the slipstream of the first. Because of this the paint ball in front slow down and the one behind it catches up and... Splat!

I am installing my b2 board into my halo right now...

done. The b-2 with the speed wheel...

Hell yeah!

PICTURES!!!


All mine


Virture board DM6 with the EMPIRE B2. This thing sucks paint faster than a shop vac.
I honestly like shooting my mags better. If I dont learn to like it I think I am going to give it to my friend. It is just a shock as to how much is controlled with the electronics now.

Shell shock went over really well. We had about 300 folks show up, and the cool thing they were all familiar faces from the shop. Even this older mom that doesnt like paintball, brought her kid out for the entire day... I made sure to thank her for doing that.
Out of the whole day I played with the DM6 for about a half hour and dumped 3500 rounds through it. After each burst I needed another pod, it was crazy. I normally dont shoot more than a bag or two for an entire day. So the rest of the time I shot my x-valve mag, and one round with the classic. I would have used my e-mag, but I could not get that damn stubby barrel in the pic out of it . I dont know what happend but it is jammed in there real good, I will get it out eventually.
So for the entire day 10 to 8 I think I shot about 9500 rounds. Most of them went at shooting the terminators and the tank though. My best round was when armed only with 6 grenades... HAHAHA that was awsome! I could move so much better without all those pods and a big gun. I rushed the pirate ship (if any of you are familar with southwest paintball) threw one in and got like 6 people out with one shot.

It was a blast!

MAGS RULE!

[MoeMag]

YEAH BABY!

I just traded a Tippmann A-5 for a VL evolution

Some kid came in with his new ion and wanted to trade this beauty of an A-5 for a electric hopper.

I PROMISE I did not take advantage of this kid... him and his older brother were absolutely set on doing a trade. Well after the store turned him down... I stepped up and gave him what he wanted. I offered a halo b... but all he wanted was an evolution. I just said okay.

Forgive me.

I LOVE MY JOB!

Pics in a few minutes...

EDIT: pics added




Forgot to mention... it came with this snazzy little hopper made by a local company called ricochet... ever heard of them?
