PCA Forums

I guess it pretty much IS here
Yesturday I pulled out my Raptor, Silver Eagle I reconditioned it (yes yes I know it's not the greatest gun but remember... I am poor) Besides it's not the gun the makes the soldier! but it helps
I was just wondering, does anyone have an extended barrel for a Raptor that they'd part with? or does anyone know how I can make an extention for my barrel? I think my barrel is 12 inches, want to get maybe another 6 on that....
It's just not as accurate as I'd like it to be, but then I get into the whole, it may be less accurate after I "try" to mod the barrel...

anyway, post your gun and leave some tips !!

I got a brass eagle avenger. Came with a custom barrel already....but its not the greatest

I just got used to aiming up a little higher and my shots are dead on. I still gotta get a 20oz tank (still using a cheapie 9oz)



as for tips.....


shoot them before they shoot you.
shooting your teammates in teh back is funny only the first few times
make sure you always keep a few extra tubes on you that HAVE paintballs in them
If you plan on sliding, watch out for tree stumps and rocks
Kneepads are always a + +
If you cant take the pain of getting hit by a paintball....then your in the wrong sport



But on another question, what do you wear when you play paintball. Both clothing wise and camo wise.

I wear a pair of ripped up blue jeans (carpenter jeans, so i get extra room), and a green short sleeve t-shirt with a desert storm colored bandanna. Thats it. No kneepads, no other camo.

Man, I always wanted to do this. I even bought a set of 10 (maybe 20) tickets to Paintball Chicago that included the entrance fee, gun, 500 paintballs & protective gear.. STILL never got to use em. And that was, ohhh, 5 years ago or so.

You guys put together a PCA paintball-o-rama mind if I take along? I'd like to get addicted to something good for me hehe.

hey judg3, if you are planning on comming to the PCA lan, there is a paintball place like 5 minutes away. I went last time....it was pretty good
although I dont agree with buying house paintballs, rather use my own cause they are higher quality

Yeah I think Ill go this year, I'm not truck driving anymore hehe. Hell, unless I get a job Ill be coming as a spectator. But if I manage to find a job (hopefully today's interview went well) then watch out!

lol I meant tips for makin a barrel for my gun
but thanks for the actual tips lol

I painted my gun forrest Green and added some camo black and brown *really nice for games in tall grass and trees and such* I also painted my PMI helmet to match the gun. As for clothing a green Eskimos hoody with a brown pair of cords and my green Filas

and that's it, no pads or gloves, too much bulk *although it does hurt gettin it in the fingers from a Tipman...*

I bought a laser pointer and I'm trying to rig up some sort of a laser sight *200 foot range*
Not that I am going to use it, but it's just a mod

I'd like to get a bunch of people together to have a massive PB war, that would be awesome. SO if anyone wants to work on gettin an early spring match together (would be a weekend/week thing) we can throw that idea around for awhile

I have already played 3-4 times this year.

Here is my Tippmann A-5 with a 17" Stone Cold II barrell.




A friend of mine bought this field this year.

now that is f'in cool !
that's a sweet ass gun to Megavectra! Musta set you back some coin
I think if I can make enough cash in the first couple months of my new job (pay off my credit card) then I'll buy a new gun (on my credit card)
More then likely a tipman

a couple of my friends have em, and they kick ass. Great power, great accuracy. makes my raptor seem like a pussy cat at least, they way it was shooting last year... gonna have to try it out and see how well it works this year

i have tippmann 98 custom with a sniper up grade( you know flatline barrel )
I give a pic but my comp is acting real funny

Kneepads are always a + +

that must be for when mr. talent loses in paintball (j/k)

ha, you wish


i suggest kneepads cuase it hurts like hell when you slide on your knees.....only to hit a tree stump or rock or something you didnt see.



and as for gloves, I use a fingerless padded gloves. Great protection to top of hands, with none of the interfearing finger parts

I'm too poor for cool things like...gloves or a barrel squegee I'll save a few bucks and take the hit...
besides, if it were a bullet, it'd hurt alot more. lol Not to mention it gives an added insentive NOT to get hit

and hey, anybody know what kind of a barrel will fit on a Raptor?? I have heard rumors that Spyder barrels will fit on some Brass Eagle guns....
I want to get a 16" or 18" but I don't know where I can find one. Help?

As is often the case, again, I don't have a gun...

Hey Barrett...

I got some cash... for that compaq i sold

500$ishy

now u gotta help me getta gun

And i can make a custom barrel 4 u
with a dad as a plumber i can get u any type (copper, pcv, ect...)
