What we need

[Fleisher]

Stock class...would love that over here,still get the Phantom/6 pack out for a game every so often
I remember .62,Crossman did .50 for their revolver type thingys,looked a bit like Colt Pythons `orriblle break action things with wobbley barrels you had to strip to change a 12 gram.
Do you still play tournys?

Fleisher I still play all forms of paintball!

Last Big Game I played was three weekends ago in Long Island New York...

Last Tourny I played was the Millennium two weekends ago in Amsterdam...

Last time I played was practice last weekend in Warwick...



I'd love to get together and play some stock or pump stuff in the UK but it's hard to get enough people together. I have a site we can play at if we can get enough people.

I also have a load of PMI 1's and PGP's we could use for a stock game... along with 12g's

Oh and I have a Race framed Autococker, and an Extreme E-mag, and a BM2k for electro semi play...

What was this thread about anyway?

Who cares about the thread, how do you get on with your Extreme? mine rocks

 

[manike]

Have you seen the C&C extreme?

I designed the milling for it and wrote the CNC code

I'm also currently designing my very own body style so mine is currently in pieces awaiting the final milling.

Should be very special when finished.

Hey Fleisher/Manike... dont you think we should have an oldtimers section on this site? That way we can dredge up the past without fear of ridicule... you know, when paintball was a man's game.

Kicking off Beale is a classic. Respect.

Hey less of the old

I'm not as old as I look... I just went grey early!

Maybe a 'time served' section, for those that grew up with 12g and tubes and then used pumps and semi's before (yes before!) electronic markers became available... (you know back when certain people were skinny and had hair...)

Here's a quiz for you Rancid, who was rumoured to be making the first electo semi way before any current products that are now on the market but stopped because the market didn't like the idea at that time?

Rancid do you still play tournies? I have a feeling you played for Nam at one point? I'm just wondering if I'd recognise or know you?

I think a stock or pump day would be quite a laugh, I think we might get a few 'oldtimers' (anyone remember the short timers?) out of the wood(s)work...

It's all good as long as it's paintball.

Not sure on this, but I seem to remember there being talk of an electro mag many, many years before they actually appeared. Or was that just because Airgun Designs took about 5 years longer than anyone else to get theirs out?

 

[manike]

lol, no Liz

But it was a company that everyone was waiting on a semi from with baited breath...

I'll look for my back copies from PGI (since 90ish I think I have) and see if I can find the actual article.

Well I do remember Stirling were supposed to be bringing out a semi soon after the others appeared, but can't remember if that was going to be an electro or not

 

[Fleisher]

Rancid,
like the idea of an old farts section,might be able to get enough players together for a pump day thru it.

Manike,yeah I've seen the C+C Extreme,v/nice and on the shopping list,but I`ll wait to see your version before I commit .

The semi rumors were like the ones about the Phantom semi,that never appeared,and while your on about Sterlings I`ve a virtually unused Marcus(Preds) STP in my paintball attic of doom,its unused `cos its ****e,God knows how they where so good using those things.
