Carter's Paintball Update Edition 4 - 09/12/07

Wow... Real busy today. Crazy at work, work server change over... FTP upload to MY server was not working due to a firewall issue on my work computer. On the good side of life: The Italian sausage with onions and peppers I just had really hit the spot. So let's see what we have this week...



HEADLINES
----------------

1. This is big: New production DD68 - Desert Ducks by Earon Carter. Also the Box guns, mini-comp and more. Check out www.cartermachine.com for more. The guns are not for sale yet, but says they will be soon, possibly this fall. More information as I get it.

2. Rap4 just released their 22 inch "sniper" barrel.

3. EMR posted their 2008 schedule already. April 26/27 - Spring Castle, Aug 2/3 - Pump Pandemonium IV, SEP 27/28 BIG 4 CASTLE CONQUEST XXVI as a notable few

4. Speaking of EMR, over 400 pre-regs for this Fall Castle game. Looks to be a good number. Pre-registration ends this Friday! Hurry up if you haven't already.

5. Registration ended for the NPPL Super 7 Kansas City. Who's going and can someone take a few photo's for the site? PM me if you can.

6. Speaking of NPPL; Grandstand tickets for the Kansas City indoor event are available online at www.nppl.com

7. The H-8 Tactical Rifle is creeping ever so closer to completion. Can't wait to review this puppy.



MCB NOTES
--------------

1. Got to take the Dangerous Power Threshold out for a test drive this weekend. What a gun, is all I can say. Final review to be posted shortly.

2. Needing to admin my DOT move of the week. I was originally frustrated at the Threshold when it wouldn't work properly. SOMEBODY forgot to turn up the velocity and took him FAR TOO long to realize that was the issue. (after replacing the batter, lubing, putting back together, changing paint... Yeah... DOT).

3. I'm still planning on a Deck Building Party on Friday, for the EMR Fall Castle event. I'm bringing wood, nails/screws, and whatever else I can think of. If you wish to help out, let me know you're going to be there.

4. Blackrain on the site is making his own grenades for playing. After recently posting a video of them in action, I'll be picking up a few.

5. And the argument rages on about the next must have collectible gun.



GUN OF THE WEEK
---------------------

WDP Angel V6 - This was prior to the Angel LED. This gun only had a simple on/off switch. I personally put this gun right up there with the PVI Shocker as a must own collectible in the paintball world.


BETCHA DIDN'T KNOW???
----------------------

The Rebel executive was the only paintball gun to be marketed and sold in a business briefcase, with accessories that ranged from a rat attack quick changer, barrel extension, and even an AGD Sharpshooter sight.


POTENT QUOTABLE
