Does anyone out there play paintball?

Seanny - 17-12-2010 at 05:40 PM

I have some stuff I need to get rid of, if anyone's interested. I know it's kind of a weird thing to put on a kite forum, but I figured I'd let you guys have your pick at it if you want. Would make a great Christmas gift. It's for sale on Craigslist, details are here...

I can email you more pics if you'd like.

Cheers,

Use to paint ball until the wussy nephew's all quit because it hurt to much.
Had the whole kit and kaboddle, cases of PINK paint, 2 large tanks to fill the little ones with and anything that was hunting related to the sport was in the back of the truck. One of the games we played was capture the flag, no rules. Just because you were hit didn't mean a thing, he he. Loved that game.

Hope you can sell the stuff before the holidays, good luck

Thanks! I tried to sell this stuff earlier and buy a new kite with the money (that's pretty much what I'm doing again right now :rolleyes:

) but my parents got in the way. It'll work out this time though if I can find a buyer :P

Three '#@%$#!ers and an angel gathering dust in the closet now, or I'd be all over it.

WGP and WDP make such good stuff!! What happened? All these great companies are going under... WGP, WDP Angel, Smart Parts, Evil, Indian Creek, I think even Spyder stopped manufacturing... It's a real shame

Paintball seems to have fallen out of fashion. I have been the proud owner of 2 #@%$#!ers, 2 smart parts, vm-68 (yes I know VERY old school) and more barrels than I can count!!! I don't even want to think about how much paint.....about a case per weekend for 4-5 years. AHHHH!!! How many kites is that!!!

I did get to play against the Texas Storm B team in the mid 90's at a tournament in Dallas. They were impressive. One game.....1200 rounds....0 hits...

:dunno:

That's insane!! :o

My marker is in immaculate condition. Maybe I should hang onto it. If I'm lucky, it will become vintage, and the value will go up :lol:

Fat chance of that... anyone want to buy? Or know anyone who might be interested? I'm tired of having it take up space when I don't play anymore. I need a new kite!

Used to play till they made it illegal here - the way they changed to law to define 'deadly projectile weapons' now includes paintball guns, those plastic BB guns and the after effects of a really good chili.
Note, they changed the law just after I bought my first marker. So I have a brand new, unused marker sitting in the closet for sale too

Txshooter38 - 18-12-2010 at 08:25 PM

Kami...are you from the states and work in Japan or from there originally?? I ask b/k you may hold onto it...if you ever make it to the states it is alot of fun.

The after effects of a really good chili? LOL!!! :lol:

EDIT: I don't think you can take those onto airplanes, Shooter. But I may be wrong.

Originally from New Zealand, been living and "working" here for 10 years now ...

Txshooter38 - 19-12-2010 at 08:29 AM

Wow New Zeland...awesome. I have a friend that worked for the department of defense as a teacher in Japan and loved it. Watching your videos on the motorcycle it looks like a pretty place.

I really need to travel more. Yeah..you can pack the gun in luggage but not in the plane with your carry on or anything.

I took a leak on the fence of an airforce base in the countryside near Shizuoka. Looked like an abandoned factory :dunno:
It's got its good and bad points ... the roads aren't really one of them

and what's worse, that bike has just way too much power to be total fun. My vehicle registration stuff runs out next year, I'm thinking of getting a commutard - XT660X. That'd be way more fun I reckon, nice soft suspension for the crap roads that have the nice tight corners ...

Heh? A Japanese air force base? :puzzled:

Txshooter38 - 19-12-2010 at 08:32 PM

Is that a Suzuki TL1000 you are on right now??? Yeah...softer suspension will help. Just remember to get it set for your weight with your gear on. Check out some of the roads on my tube channel. I will try to get some more uploaded for you. The roads here are awesome!!!

Kamikuza - 19-12-2010 at 08:33 PM

Sorry, "Self Defence Force Air Base" :rolleyes:

Seanny - 22-12-2010 at 12:02 PM

I think Kami is part of the Japanese super secret underground military intelligence.

Kamikuza - 22-12-2010 at 06:59 PM

Y'know, the bureaucracy here is just retarded enough to go for that ...

Seanny - 22-12-2010 at 07:14 PM

I haven't really been keeping up with Japanese politics lately, but that doesn't sound like a good thing :lol:
