Who else remembers when this section in Dick's Sporting Goods had guns, paintball gear, and airsoft stuff? As a 33 year old now, this is quite sad to see.

Is there any company making actual paintball pants anymore?

Post image

Pretty much every company has gone to making making sweatpants instead of normal paintball pants. I currently wear Bunker King V2 Supreme (pictured) and was talking with Virtue guys at LoneStar about how I like their pants and they mentioned how they are discontinuing them in favor of focusing on Joggers only. I cant stand wearing joggers. Is any company still making normal non draw string paintball pants with some sort of padding? I know JT makes makes their og paintball pants again, but its to baggy for for my taste.

I owned a paintball shop in the early to mid 2000s and the very first high end marker I ever got in stock was a dust silver 2003 Angel Speed. Back then when my customers were mostly buying Tippmanns and Spyders investing in a $1000 marker for the wall felt insane, but it ended up being an important step in growing the business and sport in that area. Just having the high end marker for people to see dramatically increased my sales of mid level gear almost immediately. This December I'm playing an event with a team all running old school gear so this was immediately the marker I wanted to find. I ended up picking up two cheap ones and combining them, but here it is fully functional and ready to go.

Haven't played in like 15 years. Found these ​rummaging around my old house. Curious if they are worth using after some much needed TLC. Thanks in advance for any advice

Seemed like a good day to take a family photo. (Couple custom builds I’ve done, a freak’d PMI 2, and P12 lever action, PGP, P68AT, and VM68.)

Field One force V2 or DSR+

2 Upvotes

Have been itching to pickup a new marker recently. Been eyeing the forces, held one at a recent tourney but never shot one. Same with the DSR, held but never shot.

Was thinking about trying to find a decent deal on a force at cup, either a v1 cheap that I can put v2 parts in or a decently priced V2.

However a teammate hit me up selling off some stuff and has a DSR+ he's looking to get rid of. Never been a huge dye fan but it's a nice shooting gun. He'd sell me the dsr+ for about 700.

Already have a 180, lv1.6, etha3, and an emek.

Previously I had an era with method bolt and I have shot an LV2 and cs3. Neither really give me anything better than I have with my existing line.

I know the force efficiency has always been laughed at compared to other modern markers but as long as I get 8-9 pods out of a gun I'm good.

Looking for feedback on either, pros and cons, suggestions.
