What is the difference between PMI and GTI concerning Paintball Guns?

March 1st, 2013 1 comment

I just need a little information about paintball guns.

PMI is a brand/company. Stands for Pursuit Marketing Inc. They were absorbed into what is now considered Empire, which is owned by KEE Action Sports (some huge sports conglomerate).

GTI is a particular model of Piranha, a marker made by PMI. I don’t know what GTI stands for, though. If i had to guess, it could just be adapted from the racing term, "Grand Touring – Injection." How that would translate into the Piranha GTI, i have no clue, aside from sounding cool.

Why do I keep having weird violent fantasies?

February 27th, 2013 2 comments

I’ve been having those pretty sick violent fantasies recently, so I want to hear other people opinion about it. I just want to know if anyone else ever had that kind of things going in their mind.
So. I’m 17.y.o. girl. I’m extremely shy, girly ,etc. My life is insanely boring and monotonic. But it’s been about a few months when I started having those fantasies about hurting somebody. Being in some kind of gang, do dangerous stuff . (I know ,that sounds pretty stupid ,because of my gender and age 😀 ) I don’t know,maybe that’s because my life is really boring ,I’m a ‘good girl’ . I love watching sport/action movies , like Fight Club, 13 , The Fighter etc. Could those fantasies be the result of my passion to movies? Every time I watch a ‘cool’ movie, where the main character is some kind of ‘badass’ , I start thinking how cool it would be to be him, how interesting and exciting.
I know,everybody has weird, emberassing fantasies, but It’s all the time in my mind. I want some drama in my life, to HAVE A SECRET. In real life… I don’t have ‘a story’ . I mean I’m boring. I always have fantasies about having a cancer,or getting hit by a car. getting shot (and surviving of course), that I could tell that to people, everybody would be shocked. That I’d have life experience or something.
My friend was a junkie , he went to rehab. he told me about how he was stealing cars and stealing stuff from home to buy drugs and all. I was sooo fascinated by his life. Of course,it’s nothing to be proud of, but people like that seem to be so interesting.

I always say to myself that I should get a life. Stop thinking, start doing. I wonder if it’s good to have those fantasies. They’re nothing as long as it’s just fantasies.
Do I need ‘to get some help’ ,or change anything in my life ? to change my thinking?

Everyone has a violent side regardless of gender or age.
It sounds like that side is reaching out to you out of boredom. You should listen to it, but only in controlled settings, like video games or paintball or whatnot. You don’t want to get sucked into someone’s drug drama just because it’s interesting and different…trust me on that. I was a needle junkie in my teens and that sh!t is still in recovery.

If you want a "secret" you should indulge that, but not in a destructive way. ANd that includes being promiscuous. Far too many young women do that thinking they’re edgy or compelling, but it leaves them cold and possibly pregnant/diseased. You can consider the occult, lockpicking, hacking, learning a new language (esp Chinese or Japanese), cryptology, building models of war crime sites or execution implements, etc. USE YOUR IMAGINATION, that’s the key. Don’t mimic because your only real secret then would be that you are a poser.

Good luck.

Should I get goggles or GoPRO?

February 25th, 2013 1 comment

Should I buy a Pair of Motorcross goggles with a built in 720p 8hr camera in it or should I get a GoPRO. I would probably be using this, essentially for Airsoft, Paintball and other outdoor recreation. The goggles are 15k and the GoPRO is 20k.

Get the GoPro Hero 2 for the best quality and clarity for filming actions sports…etc. The goggles will be a joke, dont waste your money. Browse the links below to check out the GoPros.
Good Luck!

What kind of paintball gun could I get for my brother’s 10th birthday? (beginner) $60-100?

February 19th, 2013 5 comments

Which type should I get him, automatic, sniper handgun, etc…?

A gun with a price between $60-100 (kind of broke- just bought a brand new gun for myself)

your best bet is probally a spyder, however if u do get one, i gurantee you will want a different one in 3 months or less.

but any way, the best spyder you can find for that price is the spyder pilot acs.

what r some good types of paintballs ?

February 17th, 2013 5 comments

What are some really good cheap paintballs that actual pop.

RPS used to be a good paint company until recently when they changed there formula for there lower grade paintballs. So now i would recommend getting JT fluid hydro paint ( http://www.pbreview.com/products/reviews/5758/ ) you can usually find it for about $35-$40 it is fairly brittle (meaning it will break easily on your opponents) and have a decent fill. That or JT fluid monsoon paint which is almost the same in quality it just has a thicker fill for an extra dollar or two. So in my opinion don’t buy any Kee Action Sports paints (aka rps) paints unless you buy the higher end paints. Also marbalizers by RPS are good paint except that they are a bit expensive.

Are two tone airsoft guns legal in australia?

February 15th, 2013 1 comment

im moving there next year with my family and i really need to know because all the laws seem to refer to RIF guns

Australia has always had tight laws, especially around knives, but there airsoft laws state that In Australia Airsoft is illegal for most practical purposes. Australian law classifies Air and BB guns as "Category A" weapons, placing then in the same class as break-action shotguns and rimfire rifles, and acquiring a licence to possess (e.g.) a pistol requires a rigorous and laborious process of police background checks. You must also have a legitimate reason and be able to prove that reason before you are allowed possession of a firearm, regardless if either Airsoft or live-fire. Anyone found in Australia possessing an unlicensed Airsoft pistol faces the same charge as a person who unlawfully possesses an actual firearm.

Airsoft Australia is aiming to get Airsoft redefined as a sport and allow it to be legally accepted. This will only be possible by restrictions on how replicas can be obtained (an age over 18 and an Airsoft specific licence (is hoped) to be required of the player), for protection of the sport in general and others.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft#Worldwide_Regulations
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080810003837AAEbblS

Air rifles, yes with a firearms licence. BB guns no. Here’s why:

"Firearms in Australia are grouped into Categories with different levels of control. The categories are:

* Category A: .22 rimfire rifles (not semi-automatic), shotguns (not pump-action or semi-automatic), air rifles, and paintball markers.

…Australia also has tight restrictions on air pistols, airsoft guns, and replica firearms. Suppressors (or ‘silencers’) are extremely restricted and generally not available to most shooters."

Airsoft is illegal due to the semi-auto/auto nature of their operation, as this is illegal in any firearm, except for highly restricted professional occupations. Plus, their "military appearance". Even bolt action rifles with pistol grips are outlawed here!

http://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100212035401AAH1hb0

They don’t differentiate between an Airsoft gun and a Real gun in terms of laws, if you try and sneak one in you can face jail time the same as if you had snuck a real pistol in. There are rumours they are trying to legalise them for sport/recreation.
