If you’re the type of player that runs with a tank-on-gun, you’re really going to like this combo. Not only does it keep your britches where they should be, but it also doubles as a molle panel for pods.  The shoulder straps coupled with the belt threading ensures virtually no swing or bounce.  The suspender straps are from Valken and the load bearing belt can be found anywhere, here is the particular belt featured here.

How to run with a neck protector and NOT look like an idiot:

<— MUCH BETTER!!!

Do you hate chronoing like I do? Does your strategy usually entail forward movement and peppering your opponents at medium to short range? Well I have some recommendations for you.

I’ve started overboring to .693 and by doing this, I’m ensuring that paint smoothly enters the barrel without any friction, thus eliminating any dwell fluctuations that can create artificial low FPS in some cases.  My favorite new barrel  is a 10 inch .693 bore CP barrel:

I’ve tested it in my backyard with several different types of paint, all laser straight with great consistency in FPS. I’m sure in some conditions and at long distances this might not be optimal, but thus far I have been very impressed after switching to this.  I’m done fiddling and matching bores, don’t got the time, sucka.

Have you ever got all the way through chrono line only to find that you’re shooting WAY too hot?

It’s always right when your buddies are ready to insert too.  Here’s a solution I’ve used: screw on a 5” or 6” barrel. At these lengths it gives the ball significantly less run-way to work with.  If you slide a 5′ inch barrel over that steamy hot marker, it will bring you down a good few notches, certainly enough to get you pass the chron.

I carry a 6′ inch Flasc barrel:

Read all about it here on the event thread…

Stay with me for a moment, as I am going to explain some obvious things before I reach my true question; Paintball has struggled to find its identity on the main stage. Paintball has failed over the past 30 years to find some sort of uniformity other than its simplicity… point the gun.. I mean marker, pull the trigger and eliminate your opponent. For such a simple concept, much like throw a ball, kick a ball, score a touch down, or score a goal, we have failed to agree on the sports “mainstream” version we’re going to promote. NPPL, PSP, Macaroni and cheese, what have you, we have one sport, with many different leagues contending for center stage and what’s the big difference?

Are there two NFL’s? How about NBA’s? MLB’s? Why on earth are there 2 national paintball leagues and about to be a third? Where have we gone wrong here? The image paintball portrays on a national level (my opinion), is that paintball is confused as a whole. One minute it’s this, playing under these rules and the next it’s something else, kinda similar but not. Where are you paintball?

I hope this new league is as great as everyone claims. I hope it either is so amazing people switch to playing it with a sense of urgency or on the flip, it fails quickly instead of slowly drawing more and more people and the sport apart.

We need, the sport needs, uniformity if we ever want to play in the real big leagues, where money is made, where people want to watch and companies actually pay to advertise, then we need “A” standard. Until then, national leagues and the majority of “professionals” of these leagues will continue to be part time desk jockeys during the day and 30,000 dollar millionaires at night.

So, in the future, I hope someone can answer the following questions: What does this league bring that’s so different? Is it the format? Is it the cost? Is it the giant financial backing that will bring it to the mainstream? Is it the sound business plan, market research and management team thats going to develop it into a mainstream market? Is it a little different from most, just “more” fun? (which there’s nothing wrong with). Or is it truly what tournament paintball has been waiting for?

Given this is PbNation, I’m sure someone is going to read my post in a malicious manor, call me a dirty name and tell me to mind my own business (being that most know me as a figure in the outlaw ball community). I assure you that this post is not meant for that reason. I wish everyone luck, I hope it succeeds if it’s what’s good for the mass and ultimately stabilizes the tournament scene.
