Had a blast playing twice this summer and wanna get a starter kit/marker. Is this a good deal for $350? If not, what are some good starters?

I've reached out multiple times to ask the status of Issue #4 (the fall 2025 issue) with zero response.

Does anyone know if they're still making magazines or if they've gone out of business?

Scrolling Craigslist of all places.. Seen an ad for a "rotor and etha"

Seen the price..... $60

I said there's no way this is legit, let's email and see. Dude responded instantly and I set up a meeting this evening.

I figure something was going to be broke, but everything is in perfect shape. Fella said it's been sitting in his closet for 7 years, and just wanted to get rid of it . 🤯

Got it home and the etha 2 shoots amazing, rotor feeds flawlessly.

Daughter is stoked to have her own marker now!

And of course I found out there was 3d printed parts for the etha 2, had to print a UV reactive body.

As icecube once said "Today was a good day!"

Has anyone here ever used an Ex-Fog kit on their proflex? I tried and it was immediately useless. I thought I ran the tubing to good spots but they sit different when I actually put the mask on.

If anyone could please dm me with advice about where to run the tubes that would be super. Doesn't seem to be any tutorials anywhere. (There are but for a proflex specifically there is not) I'd definitely be willing to upload one to YT if someone could tell me what I need to do.

I am a bigger guy and run hot. I also HAVE to have my glasses or I cannot function like a regular human. My regular mask is a CRBN ZERO PRO with their proprietary Stormer Fan. I could NOT wear my CRBN without that fan.

Second edit for the slower folks: Proflex is BRAND NEW and SO IS THE LENSE. I REPEAT: THE LENSE IS NOT THE PROBLEM, EVERY MASK I WEAR FOGS.

If you don't know about the ExFog or something similar just move along or direct me to a buddy who does. Please and thanks.

Before I buy a new board. Anyone have any ideas on a way to fix the broken battery prong (left) on this Rail?

So I guess we can call that a win? At least one of them wants to get out there! Now the gear obtainings can begin...

Who's got some stuff for cheap??... 😁

I'm very new to paintball, and had to buy my first jersey since it was so hot. It's an HK Army jersey called "Slime" so it has electric green on it. But it was the only one I could find in my size at the time during the game. With that said, I just bought my first mask which was purchased so I didn't have to borrow my friend's mask. I ended up getting the JT Nuclear Green Flex 8 in black/electric green since I liked how it looked and it matched my jersey. With that said, the rest of my gear are hand-me-downs from my friends, so it's a mishmash of stuff.

My original idea was to buy all matching gear for cohesion, but my friends (and a lot of posts I've seen online) talk about how cringe it is to do that, especially buying from HK Army. With that said, I'm thinking about changing my mind on that, but I'm worried if I will look corny on the field with my jersey and mask matching (they're the only things that match).

What's the general consensus now? I have no problem avoiding buying more matching stuff if it will make me look cringe on the woodsball field.

i’m wondering if the tank is still good to use? i cut deep into the neck of the bottle removing the regulator and i don’t have the knowledge to be able to tell. there’s also not anyone i can go to for a WHILE, i just need to know if i need to order a new one.

Purchased this Asa. Came disassembled.
I am finding Litle to no guidance online on Getting it set up.
These are all the parts that came with it. Am I missing something ?
Also when I put everything in how does the Uber components stay in the ass? There’s no threading or anything.
Also the pin dosnt stick out to actuate air tank

Local field just got Glowball and I've got a camo Rotor I've never liked. I want to sand it, prime it, paint it with a base color, then paint over it with a UV reactive paint. Might try the same with a mask if it works well.

Any recommendations for a UV reactive paint that'd work well for this and wouldn't flake too easily?

Edit: pods too. Those things just disappear in the dark

Where does everyone play? Just getting back into the sport. I’ve heard rippys defy and Orlando paint ball are good. I keep seeing videos online of people fighting. Not looking for drama just some fun walk ons.

I recently bought what was supposed to be a Bob Long "OG Ripper VCOM" but it came in a HK case with a HK board. From my understanding the first set of HK Rippers are essentially original Bob Long parts and you can distinguish them by the eye covers. I'm not too familiar with distinguishing the engines aside from the bolt colors (red=spool and silver=poppet).

My questions are:

1. Do I have a HK Ripper or a BL with an updated frame/board?
2. Do I have a VCOM or VIS engine?

Hey all, new to all of this. Got this recently at goodwill dirt cheap. Besides new o-rings what else would you recommend? Need a loader too.

I also have this tank that I bought. Does it need to be hydro certified?

Any tips or advice for a newbie going for the first time to their local park is also appreciated!

i wanted a fancy looking lense for my evs and my HD Gold just came in the mail, turns out there is a massive obstructive blob of white glaring from the nose pieve reflecting when im out doors. even in low light i can see it.

i dont know if this is normal or not but its way too obstructive for me, would a darker tint fix it / be better?

She nice

Hey guys, Looks like Infamous is going to be having their yearly in-person clearance sale tomorrow from 12-8pm EST at their South Lyon MI warehouse headquarters.

Obviously this doesn't apply to everyone, but for those who are reasonably local you can score some wildly good deals. Never been myself, but some of the guys at the local field swear by it and have raved about the deals they have snagged.

Figured I would let anyone who was unaware know.

Hello everyone,
I just have a question for the paintball community. What’s the best platform for selling preowned paintball gear? I tried OfferUp, but posting paintball related items is a violation of their “Hazardous Materials and Items” Policy.

I’ve played quite a bit of Airsoft, but I’ve finally got the itch to get into competitive paintball…

Where’s the best place around Central MA for competitive play as a beginner? I’ve seen mentions speedball fields like Matt’s outback paintball (CT) and Boston Paintball (MA) , and wasn’t sure what’s best for a new guy like myself.

I have the majority of the gear I needed from Airsoft (including pads), so I grabbed myself a mini gs off marketplace along with a hopper. Excited to get my ass kicked and of course any tips are greatly appreciated!

My marketplace was piping hot over the weekend and the pricing was insane.

Friday - picked up this incredibly fresh Sprite fade Angel Force A4 Fly with 3000 original shots and in the camo bag amongst a bunch of random tippmann parts was an OG full denim green flying skull Sandana.

Sunday - picked up the second lot including this clean Brass Eagle Rainmaker with the hard shell foam case, along with a purple cham proteus with sportz com and OG blue fade lens, a black proshield with OG thins, and the olive proflex with American flag goggle skinz as well as a blue shelled revvy I can use for my intellifeed led horde.

Had to drive 4 hours round trip for each pickup, but the pricing was unbelievable so it was well worth it

So I have this Ninja SL2 from 2017, never gassed it up, tank is completely unused. I’m going to get it Hydro’d, but just to clarify, the Super Low Pressure is just the reg on the tank and nothing to do with the bottle itself right?
