my paintball marker collection

[Richard]

As some of you may have read in my introduction thread I'm a bit of a paintball nut. this is the reason i havent gone 4wding all that much lately, mainly because all my money goes into mods and other cool things for paintball.

the first marker is a Tippmann A5, semi automatic, can shoot 15 balls per second with a dual trigger in SEMI auto. all up ive spent $1500 on this marker, so an extra $1000 from what she originally cost me, i did the punisher logo myself and the marker's nickname is punish ya.

my second marker is a Smart Parts Ion with Blackcell kit on it. i know its hard to see exactly what it is because of the ghillie camo

the reason behind the ghillie camo is because i also have this.

the hat and wond were because my mum couldnt stop laughing when she first saw me in it.

and my 3rd and final marker, which i will collect as soon as my PTA comes in will be a Sheridan K2, this thing is about 20 years old. in the USA would cost about $500-$600 bucks depending on condition, a mate sold it to me for a case of Beam and Dry.

me thinks you aint a paintball nut...

















that's an understatement!!

[Outlaw]

Brilliant markers... have always loved a game myself but never had a chance to get into comps because the GC ones were cancelled yeas ago and i'm too lazy to drive to brissy for them. Do like the fields at Blacksoil though.

Whats the deal with licencing for markers? Used to be the same as pump action shotguns... still the same or changed?

[Richard]

i used to work for the field at blacksoil, great bushball fields.

the guys that own the field at mudgeeraba own the field at samford as well, you should come up to one of the club days, you would certainly enjoy it and well worth the ride up.....if you do wanna come up theres a few guys on the coast that drive up,

yeah paintball markers are Cat A firearm have to jump through so many hoops to get one, more so than a "real " firearm, we need club member, and special condition on our licence for paintball

I'd love to play paintball, LOVE TO, but i have nothing to do it with and nowhere to go

[Richard]

which state you in, if in any state bar NT or TAS can find ya a place to play,

[Quiggers]

Wonder if I can use my Sharps 74 for this purpose.....do the paint projectiles travel thru a 45/90 4 foot octo barrel:twisted: :twisted:

What about Glocks? Are Glocks permitted? :p

[Richard]

no glocks, you dont want people to stay down after you hit them....you can get paintball pistols, however Australian law prohibits them....which totally sucks!!!

[Scouse]

I'd love to play paintball, LOVE TO, but i have nothing to do it with, nowhere to go and my mum won't let me out anyway:p:p

[incisor]

What about Glocks? Are Glocks permitted? :pdoesnt suprise me at all that you get to ask this one :D:D:D:D:D

going paintballing for the first time over the coming easter weekend with some mates... can't wait :)

[sclarke]

OMG i think i need to move this thread to the MUDPIT as i got arroused buy that pump action...... BRING IT ON

[HangOver]

I used to live in the UK paintballing in the UK has been legal for years I have been many times, but not for a long time.
I got into it years ago do the following brands mean anything too you or are they before you time?:

crossman< six shot revolver, yes, revolver.
splatmaster< plastic about 8-12 balls per cartridge so i remember
bushmaster < pump action, most reliable gun ever! it always ran at little to much pressure though, don't know why;);)

All good fun even if you got a bruise here and there, (mostly there):(

One of the funniest things I ever saw, (even though it was stupidity) was my mate with a splatmaster, his ball broke in the barrel and tried to fish it out with his finger so while looking down the barrel it went off and he shot himself in the forhead from about 10 inches away.
He was OK but I laughed so much it hurt.

[Richard]

the splatmaster and the bushmaster ring a bell, you occasionally see a bushmaster come out now and then.....and it really shows the persons age.

the Sheridan bolt action im getting will hopefully be converted to pump action, if not, lever action hehehehe. im getting it for a case of beam and dry but in the US they go for $500 US, because everyone is getting into the old school paintball markers!!

You would have to walk, don't think they would let you drive !!

hehe you should see our tank!!

and paintball paint will actually eat into painted surfaces if left there. and will eat into the finish of the plastic lenses on our goggles

[Quiggers]

makes one wonder what the paint ball actually is? sounds like a weapon of mass distraction to me:D :D

nah you cant play due to port arthur, the government just cracked down on everything.

[Outlaw]

Heya Richard you should organise a game in brissie for the SEQ'landers... but remember we'd be amateurs compared to you so go easy

[Richard]

Heya Richard you should organise a game in brissie for the SEQ'landers... but remember we'd be amateurs compared to you so go easy

ill ask couple of fields and see which can give us a good deal, however it is alot of trouble to organise and get money off people, as i know from the past

[Outlaw]

i had a deal going at one point out at NPF which was free game & bbq from memory, just pay for balls

ill ask NPF and Samford and see whats what and then see if anyone is interested
