Just saying hi really, used to lurk here loads before I gave up due to financial reasons. Anyway, new job at a paintball site has rekindled my old enthusiasm :D A lot seems to have happened in the past couple of years that I was out (are smart parts really now bankrupt??!), what's the scene like in the UK, especially the south? Thinking about getting a bit competitive instead of just doing walk ons now that I've got the money and the time, so what's the best way to go about this? Going to have to get new kit first though, seems like it's all electro markers these days, so my little automag will probably have to go!

Cheers guys!

Welcome back !!!

... I gave up playing at the time of the Automag [and of course the Cocker] and the markers these guys use now require a degree in machine code programming just to switch the damn things on.

I'm so pleased my time in paintball reqiured you to pick up a gun, attach an air [or co2] supply to it, fill the loader with paint and begin playing ....... these days, things have changed as you will no doubt see .... good luck ..... you'll need it :)

You don't remember weighing the co2 bottles then and all that faffing around? :)

Oh, I know Automags still rip, just custom parts are so hard to come by these days! A single triggered classic valved mag just won't cut it :p Ahhh, I think you've all gotten the impression I'm some old skool balla, I'm only 19!
