Enjoy the browsing - but treat it like window shopping :
Gaze upon the shiney
Gaze upon the other shiney
Gaze upon more shiney
Then when you’ve gained the privileges you have seen it all and don’t buy the first shiney thing you saw.
Alternatively you buy everything you’ve been looking at then...
You will need to have been a member for 2 weeks and make approx 20 posts contributing to the forum - this also helps avoid new players buying the first shiney thing, and to also browse & get some discussion in to point to what sorts of gear would suit their interests
If you must have an item...
Greg Hastings has a series of console games
There was a lemmings paintball game and a few first person shooters, such as Digital Paint

Nintendo Goldeneye has a paintball mode
My things outside of paintball:
Generally anything that involves being in a field socially:
There’s the social side of big game paintball, (which is of course in paintball but out of playing)
From watching some mates in tournaments I widened my paintball interests to watching if I have an...
So many to choose from - and we all have different opinions
But I would say not to spend too much up front
(Too much depends on your financial situation of course)
Any electric gun in the last decade can hold its own, and pretty much the same could be said for most mechanicals
A lot of us...
They would not be able to recertify a US DOT paintball cylinder to be used in the UK, it needs either the TPED Pi marking, or the newer international UN ISO 11119
The standards marked by the manufacturer show that a cylinder meets the relevant standards, hydro testing demonstrates that the...
That should be the pin where you would normally have a hammer on a revolver.
When the pistol is gassed up the pin will pop out, and I think if you press it then it will discharge
Options vary based on opinion
Fully custom for an individual is pricey with setup costs, but is good on a team basis.
Semi custom is better value, you pick from a selection of designs and get your name etc added.
Your next choice is what physical design of jersey you want - just a jersey, or...
I haven’t actually shot my HDR, but I would hazard a guess that this is fine.
As the CO2 has got low, there’s less pressure coming though so the action hasn’t sealed and the ‘residue’ leaked away
With CO2 pistols I have always dry fired off as much as possible when finished before ejecting...
For that cylinder it’s not worth the effort of changing regulator or retesting
(Technically an aluminium can be used for 10 years before hydro testing in the UK, but not every site will accept them after 5 years, and if it’s been marked for a 5 year cycle then we should stick to that)
But...
If undervalued then the postage insurance will only cover the declared amount
Pay by PayPal etc and you have comeback on the amount you paid vs the amount they declared, but if you ask them to under declare then you have contributed to the loss
The only likely non financial customs issue would most likely be something looking more realistic such as magfed.
Legal to have here, but they could be looked at as RIFs under the VCRA
The UKPSF raised the question of potential paintball RIFs to the Home Office - it can go two ways:
1)They are...

I also now know what it’s like for buyers of my stuff
Well packed to be safe and sound in transit, some effort required to get inside it!
