How much would a decent fully automatic paintball marker go for, at the least?

November 28th, 2012 3 comments

I’ve never played before, but I’m interested in starting soon.

A Spyder Pilot ACS is most likely the cheapest fully auto capable marker you could buy. They can be bought new for under $100 if you do a little browsing. Action Village has them pretty cheap but the web page isn’t working for me. http://www.actionvillage.com/AVI-Paintball/paintball-paintball-guns-spyder-paintball-guns-electronic-spyders

Beings your new to the sport I will tell you many paintball field don’t allow the use of anything other than Semi auto. Thus, you may not even get to use the full auto or burst modes on the marker at all. It only takes one mark the size of a quarter to be out, not 30 hits. A much better marker than the Pilot would be a Smart Parts Vibe http://www.actioncenterpaintball.com/paintball/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=32&idproduct=1019 or SP1 http://www.actioncenterpaintball.com/paintball/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=32&idproduct=1020. They are low pressure electropneumatic operated, thus they are quieter, have less recoil, wear out slower, and more efficient on gas.
When using a marker in full auto on CO2 you will experience major velocity drops and each paintball will go a shorter distance and be less likely to break on target. You will also begin freezing the internals of the marker and if you continue firing you can face some fairly serious damage to the marker that will put you out of the game until you fix it. The most common is freezing your O-rings, doing this will cause them to become brittle and become damaged much easier. It’s not a huge problem, but it can put you out of a game until you replace them. Using HPA/N2 instead of CO2 will fix these problems, however HPA/N2 tanks cost much more than CO2. A 20oz. CO2 tank will give you an average of 1100 shots per fill. to get about the same number of shots using HPA you will need to use a 68/4500 HPA tank. They will run you about $150+ new.
There are many more things you should know and I could tell you but I am very slow at typing and just don’t feel like taking the time to type it. So instead I urge you to go to http://forum.specialopspaintball.com/ and create an account, it’s free, and ask the members all the Q’s you have and what you should know about the sport of paintball. Many of the members are very well educated in paintball and are more than willing to help you out if you just ask. If you wish to contact me you can do so, my email is Brandon_Weigel21@yahoo.com

I got booted from a shooting range for "rapid firing" of my bolt action?

June 25th, 2012 13 comments

I got myself a Marlin 981t bolt action that holds 17 rounds if they are 22lr, 25 rounds if they are 22short.
I made some home made "speed loaders" from plastic tubes and foam ear plugs.
I get to the range, take the rifle from the case, dump one stick of 17 rounds of Remington HP and start firing on this target at 25 yards… http://www.birchwoodcasey.com/sport/images/Products/47026_lrg.jpg
Five shots, 4 hits and one to reset. The Marlin is sweeeet! I did the 5 shots in about 40 seconds. I do it again, about 30 seconds. I realize a bunch of people are looking at me. I did it as fast as I could, about 25 seconds. There’s still two shots left in the rifle. I’m 25 hits for 25 shots, open sights.
The range officer asks me to empty the gun and not come back until tomorrow! I broke the "no rapid fire rule". I didn’t know they had one! I’m tuning up to join the metallic silhouette league that runs 8 matches, March, April, May, June then August, September, October, November. One match a month.
Like I said, it is sweeeet. It was $189.99 the dealer cleaned it and laser sighted it for 25 yards before I picked it up.
Isn’t the whole point to do this fast? Why do you think they REALLY kicked me out. Do you shoot silhouettes? How fast is fast? Thanks.
duh, 15 hits for 15 shots. Not qu**r. 33 years old, married, small business owner, almost "successful".

You must be in a blue state. Even in the purple state of Pennsylvania (Blue in Philly and Pitt, pretty Red everywhere else) people get worked up over magazines over 10 rounds. Dumping the home made speed loader of 17 rounds would freak me out. Hitting a 1" target at 25 yards is OK, but if it was something I graded, it would only be a C-.

Everything you Need to Know About Body Language and the Differences Between the Sexes

June 23rd, 2012 2 comments

You know all that fascinating information you’ve read about how when a woman’s eyes dilate it means she’s interested, or if a guy points his hands towards his crotch it means he’s confident of his sexuality?

It all comes from THE authorities of body language and seduction science, Barbara and Allan Pease.

Haven’t heard of the Peases? Don’t know what they can do for you?

Well then, it’s about time you find out!

These two experts have the information you need to become more knowledgeable, more confident, and more attractive to the opposite sex! Best of all, you won’t have to spend more than the price of a movie ticket to get some of their priceless information.

Barbara and Allan Pease are the authors of The Definitive Guide to Body Language and the global best-seller, Why Men Don’t Listen, and Women Can’t Read Maps. With their books, you learn, like myself and so many others, why understanding body language signals and the the evolutionary and biological differences between sexes, is not just helpful, but NECESSARY toward attraction.

For example, in Allan Pease’s Body Language, the original guide to understanding nonverbal communication signals, you learn that over 90% of communication is done nonverbally! And not just in attraction, but in everyday life: in social occasions, business, law, even sports: you literally can read your opponent’s thoughts by noticing their facial and body movements!

Even more importantly, as a single man or woman, you need to know what your “target” is thinking. You need to understand the cues and signals a man or woman make, and how to use this to your advantage. Is twisting her hair a good thing or a bad thing? When she’s too shy to meet your eyes, what does this say? When she fondles her glass or cigarette, what’s the next step you should take?

By understanding body language, BIG THINGS can happen!

Likewise, understanding the scientific differences between the sexes is not just interesting, but CRUCIAL. In their books Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps, and Why Men Don’t Have a Clue and Women Always Need More Shoes, you learn how evolutionary and biological differences make men and women the way they are.

You also learn what you NEED to understand about men in women, in order to attract them: how understanding that women are more emotional creatures, can help you sustain a relationship, or how understanding that men need some “alone time” to think about problems, can prevent arguments. You also learn specific attraction-builders, such as status and posture, and how to implement them.

All this can be learned in the excellentWhy Men Don’t Listen, and Women Can’t Read Maps.

But for more information on body language, whether for approaching your target of interest or learning how to communicate better, I HIGHLY suggest you check out The Definitive Guide to Body Language. It’s available on DVD, audio, and book versions. But the DVD version is definitely the best one if you want to see body movement and positioning principles put into action!

Whether you learn best through video, audio, or books, the Peases have something for everyone. Don’t waste any more time reading this. See what I mean for yourself and find out all the great information the Peases can do for your entire life–attraction, business, and social interaction–at their website, http://www.mybuyortry.com/barbara-and-allan-pease.

Believe me, you won’t regret it!
