airsoft>paintball

I heard somewhere that autocockers are coming back. Is this true? I had one I tried to sell years ago but no one would take it because they were so out of fashion

I miss playing paintball. I did woodsball and scenario games from about 6th to 8th grade. Only played once as an adult.
Patently false.

in a big way user. mechanical guns in general are coming back. cockers are fetching good prices again and are selling quickly on the b/s/t's

if it wasn't for the autismos that populate airsoft it might rival paintball. too bad the airsoft community is primary 14yo operators who care more about playing dress up than they do about playing airsoft.

Thank you this is amazing news

come back to use. high quality guns are cheaper than they've ever been.

ya the autocockers have a "soul" which so many modern high end electros just don't have.

Problem isn't cost. I am a software engineer, so I have the money. The problem is now I'm fat (or, fatter; I was a fat kid, too), and I don't have a lot of free time.
Working on the weight. Maybe when I finish getting into shape, I'll go to a scenario game once a year.

bleh no one gives a fuck. we've all put on weight. get out there and play. it will give you more reason toget in shape. i'm dropping 25 pounds as we speak to get ready

It's not a question of other people judging me. It's a question of me having a fucking heart attack.
Good luck on the 25 pounds, mate. I've got to take off about 100lbs to be "dad bod", and about 50 more after that to be fit.

the good news is that the heavier you are the easier it is to lose weight. an exercise bike at 16mph for 30 minutes burns like 500cal. an hour a day and you can't help but shed weight.

Yeah, I took off about 50 last year on diet alone. Progress stalled the past couple months. Need to get into the gym regularly.

You're talking about looks ? Sure. But skill, speed and ferocity wise Paintball > Airsoft.
I missed playing too busy with work and pretty tight on cash now. Plus hiro moot kinda fucking mashed the /wwe/ babies into /asp/ ruined MMA, airsoft and paintball threads.

Good thing about paintball is weight isn't much a disadvantage. Just let the ones capable of running and sliding do the work and you keep rear and do rear support. But hey that's what most of the old guys do, real life combat or any jobs or paintball.

Hopefully user, also seeing your sniper makes me wanna unbox my empire ressie and sleep with it. The last time ive fired a shot out of it was nearly 3 years ago.

no and do you even realize what kind of price that thing would fetch?

i played with a Tippmann custom 98 with flatline barrel and an A5. good times back in 2001 through 2005

depends what you are doing. speedball or woodsball is better than airsoft. scenarios and sim are better played with airsoft.

I've still got my old Shocker and Automag 68 Classic. Fuck I loved that Mag.
I haven't played since 07 or 08.
I need to dig up my old shit, take my son out, and pop a cap in his ass.

You have my board.

Wow spyders :)

Nope, not at all.

well i'll buy it off of you for $100. user eblade orracle sold for $330. yours is worth considerably more

Technically retrofitted E2/ZeroB.

What's making them valuable again? Nostalgia?

Attached: CIMG0620.jpg (600x800, 217K)

it's more than nostalgia. it's that they are highly customizable, offer lots of things to tinker with like timing, are in limited supply and represent the golden era of paintball. modern guns are too good. basically they are everything today's paintball guns are not. nothing to customize, nothing to tinker with and no problems to fix. take them out of a box and they work flawlessly forever. it's just no fun.

It was fun, but shit's expensive for no fucking reason.
I tried airsoft, but I could barely feel it hitting me sometimes (especially in the rain, when I wore a pretty thick coat). People kept blaming me for cheating when I didn't even know. With paintball, I could feel every god damn hit, and tagged out immediately.

Just a couple

I bought an Tippmann A5 right when i stopped playing like 5 years ago. still have her. people still paint ball?

nigga you serious?

Arent skates considered Sup Forums ?

its much easier and cheaper to just pick up and fuck around with for sure

and overflowing with literal autistics

ya that gear is just needlessly expensive

I used to work at a place and play speedball years ago competitively, thought the game would blow up to a big time sport but it has gone downhill the past 8 years or so. Way too expensive; my whole paycheck would go back into the place.

Yeah, slinging cases of paint each game is kinda dumb. I used to split a case of paint with my dad and we had stuff left over.

that's why speedball isn't that popular anymore and why woodsball and mechanical markers are making such a resurgence. a lot less paint to shoot. these days i use a case/day max

Thing is that speedball is the only form that had TV sport potential, and shooting a case every few rounds is just how the game had to be played to win.

they should never have tried to put it on tv. it's not a game appreciated by the casual observer and never will be.

Don't doubt that. When electronic guns came on the field it changed things. You had fat dudes camping in some bunker controlling a few boxes. The running and movement tactics took a side line to whoever could spend more money.

Anybody into magfed or Street ball?
There used to be an underground de facto paintball scene in my town where they'd play at like 2-4 in the morning around abandoned sites.
It was dangerous and shady but it was a lot more fun than any other kind of paintball I've played, and mag fed makes it all the better.

see

Everytime someone mentions an autococker i think of gay transformer porn.

But too bad the big shots running the companies OR the big shots who sponsored screen viewing dgaf about building the common player's market. Either go big or go bust.

there just isn't a good way to monetize the game on a large scale. let it be what it is, a fun weekend game.

Lmfaooo jeez rich guy not one but TWO luxe ice’s

I had an eblade oracle for a minute a million years ago. It was sunrise anno. Traded it for a NYX Matrix. I had a huge matrix boner at the time, but I still regret trading the oracle.
