    Collective opinions on which mask and why

    Correct …. Though I do still own all of mine and used to replace the full set of lenses every year as spares/loans until it got a bit ridiculous (correction - I’m missing one set, which I think disappeared one day with the guy I loaned it to put it down & it probably got gathered by the site...

    Collective opinions on which mask and why

    Note that strictly speaking every set of goggles has replaceable foam. I have replaced the foam in a couple of sets of goggles using the currently available alternate foam set It’s not so great a feature - nice to have rather than it being impossible to do, but after a few years in you often...

    Nice stuff I don’t like all the yoof graphics, I like your main piece of advice - talk to people and ask questions. That’s the best advice that’s out there. You also have the 2nd best advice about taking care of your body - hydration, pads, knee supports etc, and you think that you’re an old...

    Air bottle size.

    In speedball you will be playing short games and should be able to refill air between them, therefore the smaller capacity of a stubby should not be a ‘disadvantage’ The real thing to consider is the ergonomics and balance as to what is right

    New to paintball, needing advice/guidance on what gear to get.

    ….. just as an addendum, my old post below compared some cylinder sizes & weights My two 48ci cylinders were 1600g for the aluminium and 1000g for the fibre A ‘normal’ 4800 would be sized at about 68ci, but I had a bigger 91ci at 1700g A 68ci fibre would probably be slightly lighter than the...

    New to paintball, needing advice/guidance on what gear to get.

    Other than that a 48ci fibre will achieve a weight saving, I wouldn’t like to recommend something I have big arms and hands, so my 48 is shorter than optimum for me, but I can comfortably use it when that’s the one I chose to use* * I can’t currently use it as I allowed it to expire and have...

    New to paintball, needing advice/guidance on what gear to get.

    For clothing you want something comfortable that will survive your style of play and the environment In the woods you generally don’t need padding, but knee pads will protect when you kneel Ideally you won’t want to dive and slide on random woodland ground, so wouldn’t need the knee / elbow...

    New to paintball, needing advice/guidance on what gear to get.

    Where and how you play will dictate your needs on clothing For your cylinder I will assume that you currently have a ‘standard’ aluminium 3000psi compressed air HPA cylinder You obviously need the right cylinder type for the available fills … and that it is suitable for your DSR Here in the...

    Most Powerful Paintball gun

    For the majority HPA will be best - if does depend on where you play though How old are your children & where will they play ? HPA using standard 3000psi aluminium cylinders is the best value for money, and fill them on site as you play You don’t need a compressor unless you are regularly...

    Oil / dropper for Co2 markers ???

    If the original bottle has any details on it for its grade then use that as a guide for an equivalent alternative (You won’t want ‘proper’ gun oil, but a paintball orientated gun oil) https://battlegearuk.com/product/first-strike-hopperator-tears-oil/...

    phantom

    There will be members interested in a Phantom, and also random old school ancialiaries. Depending on model and any particularly fancy finish it’s probably not worth a fortune but someone will be interested Bottles are likely to be out of date and not worth anything other than the ‘historic’...

    Paintball and the law

    Absolutely correct, it’s a recommendation from the UKPSF based on recent interpretation on the VCRA So will only govern those who take the recommendation etc Currently listing 18 trade members on the website, but in the AGM they said that 3 can be deducted as the UKPSF is a member of itself...

    Paintball and the law

    A summary by the UKPSF …. With the ever-increasing likeness of Paintball markers to “real guns”, the UKPSF approached a Barrister that is an expert in this field to ask his opinion on where Paintball stands with the law in the UK. After several months of going back on forth we feel we have...
