Hey Lemmy, how's life treating ya?

Quite nicely! Thanks for asking!

[MysticFalcon182]

Well, hello young one. Alright, what kind of piping should one look for, aside from Brass, for a .65" Inner Diameter? Do you have any links to homemade regulator designs? Are there any plans to implement the ideas presented in the Metalstorm project into paintball? Oh, and what are the current paint grenade designs (Tech pages would be appreciated)? Tech page linkage would be handy.

Zero, I still worship you...

Piping.... I assume you mean what kind of barrel one should buy? I personnally shoot a Freak Kit.

I don't know who would design their own regulator, but if you want to, by all means.

Never heard of the "Metalstorm" project.

Most paintball grenades explode on impact. The most popular is the Tippmann Squadbuster grenade which utilizes a thick, hollow rubber tube that is crimped in the middle and each end is filled with paint. The ends are then folded over so no paint leaks and is put into a red cap with a pin through it. The pin holds the ends of the tube crimped so that no paint can escape until a high impact. Since I play in tournaments, and any type of paintball grenade is illegal, I do not use them.

Chew on that for a lifetime.  

I assume that the time that you were away from this topic was all spent on researching and trying to answer Zero's questions...

Here's one:
Is the Spyder AMG really a Spyder?
And:
Is the Tippmann 98 Custom really a Tippmann 98 Custom?

EAT THAT, BIZZOTCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Spooky. But you guys need to stop flinging insults. Don't make me break out the recently popularized monkey parallel.

Just trying to help. Piping, u actually want a .68 barrel. Its better to have a variety of sizes to match paintballs better for better acuracy, so u actually want say .686, .688, .690, .692. U can also get more sizes for better acuracy, but those fit most paint. As far as piping does, aluminum is the best for money, looks(can be anodized) and light weight. Titanium is the best, but costs a lot. Stainless steel, is good, but its heavy, and cannot be annodized. They also have a carbon fiber barrel, but its not all that great. Length should be 10-12 inches, unless u want it longer too make it eseir(sp) to tuck into a speedball bunker. Anything over 12 inches just drags the paintballs down, and does not give better acuracy. I dont have any homeade regulator designs, but i dont think theirs many. It would be too dangerous, because it probly woulnt work, and explode and could possible kill u. Metalstorm? Well theirs no horizontal clips, just hoppers because it would only work out of one side of a bunker, the other side the entire clip would be sticking out. Warpfeed though is kinda sorta maybe close to what u are talking about. It puts the hopper down next to the gun with a tube connected to where the paintballs enter the breech. It feeds in horizontally. Removalble multishot barrels would be pointless, i think. I am not quite sure how u would be planning to use these, but i dont see a use. Gernades are not usefull and are banned in tournaments anways. Its just a big fat piece of rubber hosing, filled with paint, and bended in half. Then its got something at the ends of the hosing to splatter paint everywhere

Here's one:
Is the Spyder AMG really a Spyder? Yes, its an electic spyder. I think AMG stands for something, but im not sure
And:
Is the Tippmann 98 Custom really a Tippmann 98 Custom? Yes. The original tippman 98 was improved or customized to allow easy drop in upgrades, removable elbow, and other upgrades, hence Tippmann 98 [I]Custom[I] Just trying to clear up some stuff. And ur not a paintball god unless u are Tom Kaye(inventor of the automag, and allround great guy)

[jrbill2006]

Actually, I did find a custom shop that did build magazine style guns. They were very complicated to clean, work on, and were very expensive. i ran across them on some sight and lost the bookmark after my harddrive got erased. They worked kind of like a warp feed and held 200 rds.

Homemade paintball palns can be obtained at the paintball underground ( I think it is a fortune city domain) The plans incude launchers, grenades, ammo and other alternative weapons with PICTURES too!!

looks liek some of the plans could be converted back to nerf. Just type the paintball underground into a search engine and on google its is usually the second listing.

Just wanted to let everyone know

[p8ntballsnowman]

I know of 2 guns that are clip fed, although have never seen them used. Horizontal clips i have not seen.

[OutBurst]

First off, Mags absolutely suck.

And yes, I am a God.

OutBurst

[p8ntballsnowman]

First off, mags own. And second, ur not Tom Kaye, so dont call urself a paintball god. Mags own all. Especially the X mag, it owns ur Impulse. It chops less, fires just as fast, probly faster. Probly lighter, im not sure. Has warp and vertical feed breeches. Better customer service. And can fire without batteries. Not saying ur gun sucks, just that an X mag is better. And mags dont suck. All of them are good for the price.

[OutBurst]

Haha, and what paintball company do you work for?

Not Adrenalin Products, Inc. like me.

Doog, come put your brother in his place.

[OutBurst]

Haha, him put me in place, I am twice the fucking size of him. Besides, he thinks this is as funny as I think it is!

[p8ntballsnowman]

Well i dont think think ur twice the size of me, im 6-2 1/2, 180 pounds. If ur 2x the size of me, then im really really scared. I didnt know u worked for some Adrenaline inc. They make some really cool stuff. And ur not a god unless u are someone like Tom Kaye, Budd Orr, Chris Lasoya, Tom Cole, ect. Maybe u are, i dont know.

[Doogie]

Haha, him put me in place, I am twice the fucking size of him. Besides, he thinks this is as funny as I think it is!

Twice my size, huh?
I STILL pin you in wrestling, and I beat you in arm wrestling.
I think what's funny is that you came to NerfHaven in the first place--totally a waste of your time.

Well i dont think think ur twice the size of me, im 6-2 1/2, 180 pounds.  If ur 2x the size of me, then im really really scared.  I didnt know u worked for some Adrenaline inc.  They make some really cool stuff.  And ur not a god unless u are someone like Tom Kaye, Budd Orr, Chris Lasoya, Tom Cole, ect.  Maybe u are, i dont know.

First of all, what is "ur?"
Secondly, he's not twice your size, he's pretty damn close to your size.
Third, it's "Adrenalin."
Fourth, he's not "God."
Fifth, he might someday be like Chris LaSoya, but not today.
Sixth, 8 = eight and sounds like "ate." So "p8ntballsnowman" sounds like "paytntballsnowman." Whatever the fuck.

Bro, I don't take enjoyment out of rolling on the floor with men, unlike you.

You call that armwrestling? We were freaking holding eachothers hands in mid air and doing that. You of all people should know I don't use my strength unless it is pretty much necessary.

The almighty Groove. Man of pics, this topic is quite queer. Thanks G_r_o_o_v_e you made me smile today for like once.

[p8ntballsnowman]

Id put up an owned pic, but i dont know how. Very nice groove.

[MysticFalcon182]

Yet Outburst, you won't be able to land a hit on the nimble me...
You are not God. You probably aren't even good at paintball... In other words, you suck, bitch!

[Groove]

[MysticFalcon182]

One word... Well, maybe one thing... Yeah...

ROFL!

~Mystic~

[p8ntballsnowman]

Very nice groove. Although MysticFalcon, he seems very good at paintball. If he works at adrenaline inc, then he at least has some skill. And looking at his sig, it seems he knows what he's talking about, i think hes very good.

[MysticFalcon182]

Actually, anyone can work with a paintball company and not be good at paintball. Just because you work there doesn't mean you play. And, I can do 5-10 minutes of research to look up a signature so it would make me look like I know what I'm saying... Anyone else can too.

~Mystic~

[p8ntballsnowman]

Im not saying that he is, or isnt. Im just saying chances are that he is good.
