    Baby sitting - Unreal Paintball 26th Sept

    No worries. Yep I've been there many moons ago. What's up with Unreal, I member in the naughties it was the bomb and really popular? I was going to try Outpost on the 17th but I'll try and slip in a sneaky Skirmish at the end of the month.

    Baby sitting - Unreal Paintball 26th Sept

    Sam I got an email from Unreal saying they’re not running the event on the 26th! Do you have any ideas where I can go instead or are you going anywhere else and can I tag along? Thanks

    Any Walk-ons with 2hrs of Chester this weekend?

    Dudes! Unreal paintball has cancelled its walk-on this weekend! I need my fix, where can I go short notice. Max distance 2 hours from Chester area. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

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

    Thanks it’s new so I won’t worry then. I’ll pop in the battery and screw on the air and rock out with my glock out! There goes my excuse to get my hands on it early. But damn I can’t wait to grease those bolts!

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

    Thanks for your input. Basically your saying the marker is robust so I don’t need to faff. But does grease have the potential to perish/dry out if left for a long time? For example let’s say I played and then cleaned and re-greased my marker and left it for a year, would that grease still be ok?

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

    So while waiting to unwrap my Etha 2 (the sanest choice, in an insane world) for my birthday, I though I would watch a video on bolt maintenance and there’s quite a bit of greasing going on there. Anywho, it got me thinking - how is my grease? I don’t know how long my marker has been in it box...

    newbie

    Hi dude, I’m getting back into it and would say my knowledge is at the rudimentary stone tool phase maybe heading towards hunter gatherer. But my guidance would be to look to go on sum walk-on days near you, near me there’s Outpost Chester and Unreal Paintball Stoke. Basics to buy would be a...

    Baby sitting - Unreal Paintball 26th Sept

    Thanks Sam. How will I identify you? Do you have any distinguishing features? Or should we use a pass phrase like: I say- “Does the Brass Eagal Raptor crow at dusk?" You can reply, to let me know it’s you by saying- "Yes, but only in the shade of your Ego." "If it's raining in the Empire . ...

    Baby sitting - Unreal Paintball 26th Sept

    So I’m going to Unreal Paintball (Stoke) on the 26th September. Basically, I imagine walk-on days are like a prison rec yard. Lots of different factions looking out for their own. Is anyone going and can I join your faction? I don’t want to be a loner and made into the walk-on b#*€!h! Also...

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    Okie dokie thanks for all the input! So I did sum research and saw that Eclipse has a tech page and saw that there was a telephone number. I found the pressure too great (excuse the pun) so I rang eclipse and the helpful dude said, very nicely, stop being a pleb the marker can handle the setup...

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    Bod the wise! Thanks for chipping in. So am I good to go with the Aluminium Field bottle? I presume the Etha 2 can handle the step down to 800-850psi then regulate that pressure to what it needs to operate?

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    Sage Tom, thanks for your guidance. Your words have calmed my anxious mind, I didn’t want to turn up to the walk-on a be the ******* that blows out his marker. I remember many moons ago sumf like my old reg’s output was 800psi. How do I find out the regs output? Or are they all standard?

    Take me to school - regulator school!

    Okie dokie when I last wielded a marker it was in the mid-naughties and it was a Tippman A5 and I don’t remember any discussions about “output pressure”. You plugged and played. I recently invested in a Etha 2 and I noticed in the literature something saying the the output range for the marker...

    New Energy 9Vs

    Thanks for the guidance “dude with all the gear” - see I listened to the podcast! I’m very much a best value kind of dude, for the most part, so two batteries for 9 coin seems a bit excessive.

    That’s what I thought, thanks.

    Are New Energy 9V batteries worth it or can I just buy Duracel, that pink bunny is pretty convincing?

    Weekday paintball?

    BOD (love the name btw, I know I’ve said that before) “Tread softly because you tread on my dreams!”, when you put it like that I’m like dammmn that sucks! But where’s there’s a will there’s away is what I say. Who knows, young minds fresh ideas, some young whippersnapper will come up with a way.

    Weekday paintball?

    No I haven’t found a mid-week community yet, but then again I haven’t put much time into it. I just thought over summer there would be something where people get together and rent a space and go mad while the sun was shining! Just like a corporate booking but people bring their own gear. I was...

    Weekday paintball?

    Thanks for posting, I’ll try and get on their next walk-on day and see what’s what. I thought there might be a lobby thingy (it is the twenties after all) or something where people say “hey I want to play at this time/date, there’s 20 slots to fill” then people sign up and go and you spray and...

    Weekday paintball?

    Hi, it’s the paintball pleb again. I work in weddings so most weekends at the moment are completely stacked. So doing sum moochin on the old infra-web and all the walk-on events, around the Cheshire area, are on the weekends? Is there anything week day evenings?

    Is magfed where it’s at?

    Dokie dokie, thanks for the input, some interesting points I had no comprehension of. I kind of think in my heart of hearts I’m the kind of guy that likes to shoot his load off as quick as possible, so I’m still on the fence about what I’m gonna get most joy out of. #randomspray

    Is magfed where it’s at?

    Tom if you don’t mind me asking, if you had 5 biscuits to spend then what would you buy - the EMF100 or the Etha 2?

    Is the tech reliable? Are they popular or is it just thing for MilSim fanatics?

    Where’s the love for the UKPSF?

    Bod, it doesn’t make sense to me. I got given a PS4 by a mate last year around the Chrismas lockdown and I’ve been playing Battlefield 5 with my nephew and I was like this does not compare to paintball! The only reason I stop going was that my mates stopped and I started a family. But now they...

    Where’s the love for the UKPSF?

    Will do thanks, looks like perfect armchair by the fire fodda, and now Love Island is back on, I need this sort of distraction more than ever. But where did I put my pipe and my silk dressing gown. #winteriscoming

    Where’s the love for the UKPSF?

    James ECI, I’m all about unions babe so card me up. The fist only has power when the fingers come together. What does ECI stand for? Bod (love the name by the way) - sweet mother of Joseph only 3k personal gun owners! I’m gonna quote that to eclipse when I buy my new marker, hopefully...

    Where’s the love for the UKPSF?

    Hey, I just paid a 5 year membership for UKPSF, (because that’s what you do, right?) have I been had? Because I just went on the website and there’s only 1164 player members! What’s up with that? Obviously, I’ve been out of the game for a long time, wasn’t really in the game to start with, just...
