Our family farm is only a few miles from Hogback... great stories about that place haha.
I wish I could make it out but alas I'll be working.
I havent played paintball in so long. My friends and I used to make it a weekly habit. We had 10 acres of woods on our farm and we set up a ton of paintball forts in it, made out of plywood, old cars we found in there, basically anything you could hide behind. My first gun was a Tippmann 98, which really is a great gun. I bought the "flatliner" barrel for it which was fuckin money, it was such a huge advantage over everyone else's gun at the time. It basically puts backspin on the balls and allows them to float for like 25 yards further than most other guns (without having their velocities cranked up to like 380psi).
Looking back, we were crazy motherfuckers. We always played with our velocity that high, although we were religious about wearing masks. Supposedly you could break a mask at that psi rating though, so I guess we got lucky. Damn that shit hurt when you got hit though!!
I MAY still have my flatliner barrel around and my old 98 custom, as well as some ball hoppers and miscellaneous gear. If anyone is interested, I'd be willing to part with the stuff for uber cheap... mainly because the gun probably needs some servicing.
I'm willing to get rid of this stuff cheap mostly because I know if I ever decided to play again, I'd get a top of the line gun like a DSM9 or equivalent. My younger brother, after getting unfairly sniped so many times on our paintball "field" growing up, ended up playing tournament paintball with one of Pev's teams and always had the sickest guns. Like $2000+ guns. After playing with one of those, I could never go back. The last gun he owned before he quit the sport he had clocked; it fired 21 balls per second, SEMIAUTOMATIC!!
Nutso. Anyway yeah, sorry for the long post, I'm bored and reminiscing about those good old days when we'd get fucked up and chase each other around in the woods with guns :lol:
Hit me up if you're interested in the stuff... I'll see what I have left and we'll work something out.
