    Fibre v Steel

    Months prior to re test? Effectively the same, 5 years between tests - but aluminium’s are cheap enough to not bother testing.. Re test cost? Should be same irrespective of type, but varies depending on who you go to Re test ease of use? No different to you regarding testing, the correct fibres...

    What @k4p84 said The pros & cons of open bolt vs closed bolt, standard barrel vs after market, single barrel vs bore sizing, under bore vs over bore, etc will be argued forever. They will all shoot paint out of the box, and anything modern will do what it needs to do. Save worrying about...

    Either way you screw the cylinder onto the ASA The cylinders regulator turns itself on & off when it’s pin is pressed against the appropriate point of the ASA The whole cylinder does not lose pressure, it will close its pin and retain pressure. The only air that gets lost is the amount sat in...

    Couriers for shipping bottles?

    Someone may be able to give an update on any carriers that have been used fairly recently. The key issue is that transportation regulations changed for ‘pressure vessels’, and this severely restricts what postal methods can be used - if it may possibly endup on a plane then its prohibited...

    Could a Paintball go through 1/2 inch wood......Hypothetically?

    We put some real steal printed targets up onto sheets of plywood and covered with sheets of thick vinyl (probably 3mm) These haven’t had heavy use but have survived occasional use

    Could a Paintball go through 1/2 inch wood......Hypothetically?

    SpecOps scenario paint from back in the day wouldn’t do wood much good, we could literally break branches The danger of a lot of ‘wood’ today is it isn’t true wood, so once it’s got damp it will begin to disintegrate For a target board you could get away with it, but even in the shed MDF is...

    Warpfeed mod for regular hopper....?

    You will need a force fed hopper Back in the day halos were used for things like this An old member on here @Funky Diver built a backpack hopper, the ‘feedruck’ using (If I remember correctly) the insides of a Halo (This wasn’t the commercial backpack hopper - funky was ahead of that by many...

    Parcel force

    If it was the case of an item being treated as prohibited it would be subject to destruction - and ultimately the tracking would flag it With the tracking ‘stalled’ it probably is just sat somewhere in the system Covid and Brexit will have an effect but things are getting through Some parcels...

    Skull Paintballs?

    What Bod said about buying on site Another problem with ordering online is what happens to them along the way, it’s added cost, via particular couriers willing to transport boxes of paint, and in uncontrolled conditions Basic cheap paint tends to be tougher, but variable in shape/size in a...

    BT Delta receiver nut and screw.

    The quick and dirty route would be a nut & bolt from your local hardware place You may get some luck by messaging or speaking to some UK retailers as they may be able to get them from suppliers Super5ives have some knowledge on Empires so could be a useful start (These pics just for my reference)

    Buying markers from America

    This will happen on a case by case basis with each seller and may depend on the item and value. Once you have access you can ask the particular individual. I recommend that you take into account the time and expense of international postage, ensuring that tracking and insurance are appropriate...

    Air filling possible?

    As above, it’s possible with a stirrup pump and they are at reasonable prices now Do make sure that it’s a high pressure stirrup pump and has a filter (some are with, most without but they can be added) Into an air cylinder there is the larger capacity so you need to get a higher quantity of...

    Do people still use old loaders?

    I still would have had my egg except I finally killed it, I’ve a Ricochet or two somewhere and a couple of Halos I moved over to Rotors as everyone else went to Spires etc There’s no true value in them, but someone old sometimes likes a bit of nostalgia and there is the non cash significant...
