why so light?

[Marcus Geezer]

Dare I mention a non sup'air example?

I have an up'd ion, a 1.1 fibre tank, and a pulse..... and after carrying that round all day at the Warped big game with a start load of 800 paint I wish it was all a little lighter...

And it aint just about your arms... when you get to my old age (ripe old 38) it starts to make your shoulders ache, your neck ache, your back ache... and ultimately everyones ears ache cos you start moaning about how much everything aches.....

On a more serious note, every year they make these things very slightly lighter, and ultimately over a few years this yearly slight reduction in weight becomes significant. If you have less to carry you can start and stop a bit quicker which is important when doing runs for bunkers.

i had a dm4 and that is a pretty heavy paintball gun compared to others i have held but tbh when i got playing on the field i wernt thinking this is heavy i got on with it just fine the weight seems to go away when im playing a game so i dont think it matters how heavy or light you will adabt to the gun quickly.

The only problem I have with lighter guns is now they're getting much smaller aswell I don't think I like the idea of playing with something that tiny,

Agreed. Some guns are too short, and don't balance very well IMO.

and...

I don't think I like the idea of playing with something that tiny.

I'll bet....

dont tell me when your posting up on someone (think thats the correct term) i.e. when your waiting for them to pop out again and they dont pop out for ages - dont tell me you never thought - omg my arms are gonna drop off soon if he dont

why because the dm4 is heavy have you had one like i said i seemed to adabt to it and it wasnt heavy i had more concentration in the game.

i had an a4 fly

brick it was - beautifully milled by cobra but damn it was heavy

 

[M-Knight15]

is that the one that some people hold it by the air tank because it gets so heavy.
