    To Grease or Not to Grease, that is the question!

    If it’s new in box then you can pop in a battery, add air & paint and you’re ready to chrono If it’s second hand then it’s wise to check it out https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/cdn.planeteclipse.com/manuals/etha/MAN0026-EN-ETHA2-Manual-WEB.pdf If you go to the Eclipse YouTube, playlists...

    To Grease or Not to Grease, that is the question!

    It would still work, it won’t be to its best performance If it’s clean then the grease could ‘go off’ and if it was greased properly in the first place it won’t stay there forever. If it’s dirty then grease can be turned into sandpaper It would be best to clean and check it out before leaving...

    To Grease or Not to Grease, that is the question!

    It’s an eclipse so you can chuck it in the bag after every game and expect it to work However if you take care of your gear then it will take care of you Don’t over do the lube, watch closely on the videos and they will probably clean off a fair bit of the lube they add to it - you need just...

    Newbie with calibre and walk on questions

    Quite a number of sites went to 0.50 either for younger games, or for their whole rental fleet They could opt to be simple and stick to 280-300fps, giving the 50s less energy Or they could stick to the energy level and have a higher velocity for 50s Being able to mix and match having some...

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    No pleb about it It makes a change for someone to actually read things, and then ask questions to clarify

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    The manufacturer or someone who may be able to quote it, but generally to confirm it will mean attaching a pressure gauge I built mine using a large gauge and the ASA from a remote line. This does the job, but with only the big screw on/off it has been a bit tight to turn when I’ve had old...

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    The high / mid / low pressure matter is a specific issue for a limited number of guns. The vast majority will manage the pressure required internally by its inline regulator. A bottle and regulator today won’t be running at 800psi. (((((See below from @BOD —- 800/850psi is still pretty valid...

    tank filling

    By ‘pin fill only’ do you have co2 cylinders or air cylinders with a regulator that has a side fill nipple? You should fill on the site you will be playing at under their processes CO2 fills - this is hazardous due to the risks of freezing etc, and should be done by trained individuals High...

    Is magfed where it’s at?

    Two general reasons: 1) I don’t currently own any proper magfed, therefore if I was to buy something it would probably be magfed. However my last purchase was a pump (empire sniper) so that’s a limited gun anyway 2) This is a personal piece - I could not handle the magazines of a number of...

    Is magfed where it’s at?

    Currently EMF But I do currently have 5 or 6 speedball style guns, 7? Pistols excluding 2 revolvers, some pumps and a few more And I now have no Magfed except for the pistols having sold my Hammer 7 & Dye Dam

    Is magfed where it’s at?

    They are popular They are also very often still based on pretty old paintball technology So if you know your stuff then problems can be thought through But those are lacking in the innovations and ease of very established & easily maintained newer technologies MagFed attracts those who are...

    Paintball and the law

    Here’s one that may be of concern to paintballers in Scotland Though there is more than meets the eye to this case (CID attended a property regarding witnessing a traffic offence ??????) * The Scottish airgun licence/certificate has been cited when impounding a 0.43” umarex pistol This could...

    Drills

    I’m not sure how people are doing the open training these days, but a few years back you would get some teams basically just playing short games up against each other, some running practice moves around certain bunkers or a corner, or doing repeated game starts from start gate into some...

    New to the scene, help a lad out

    The lens will be a bit dull, and a clear spare is a good all rounder for the dark, woods, indoors etc However (not as stupid as you may think) …. Check in case there is a protective film on both the inside and outside

    New to the scene, help a lad out

    They are all good, but a lot of money to throw out up front: EVS are perfectly fine, and they are one of those that I tried on when seeking out new choices, but for the past few years I’ve kept going back to the VForce Grills - also great worn glasses (which I should wear for distance, but...

    New to the scene, help a lad out

    Goggles: I4s are popular, and might suit you as you’ve mentioned having a small head. But it’s more important to try some on and see what feels good for you Air fills - get them filled at the site you play at. A CO2 cylinder isn’t worth buying for yourself. If you play at a site that runs on...

    There’s an old thread here about them: https://p8ntballer-forums.com/threads/ukpba-delta-force-link-proof.104362/page-5 They aren’t very keen on being too identifiable, and may also use tactics such as Phoenixing various companies over time. Delta Force are the sites, IPG International...

    Facebook group

    No. Anyone’s welcome, as long as their names not Jim. PS Having said that in jest, a check of the log shows that a Jim was rejected recently. They don’t have a photo (perhaps a locked down Facebook account) so may have failed the criteria check to be a real person / paintballer etc
