Carter's Paintball Update - 12/05/2007

It's December already? Happy Hanukkah as today is the start of it. I could have sworn it is usually closer to Christmas...


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

1. FN Browning releases "68 Caliber Airgun" for non-lethal applications - While not available to the public, a review is up at MCB already.

2. Palmer's has a new pump gun out. Check it out at palmer-pursuit.com

3. AGD sold their old domain airgun.com and can now be found at: airgundesignsusa.com

4. APG just featured a great story about EMR's Pump Pandemonium IV in their January issue. Just a quick mention of yours truly in it, I didn't get my

picture in though... Probably took one look at my ugly mug and figured it would be best for all their readers to not be exposed to that.


MCB Notes
----------------

1. It looks like the MCB Therapy Group is going over better than expected. It's always good to get something off your chest.

2. For MCB Users and Others, Topbidr.com is up and running well. Not 100% completed but the Ebay Auction Sniper is working just fine!

3. Changes for MCB coming. We're going to be changing the way the paintball news is brought to you and what is shown on the front page. More to come.

4. Our MCB Demographic survey was a big hit. Thank you all who participated in it. Results are now online in text and a graphical interface.

5. Ads on MCB? I'm still unsure. e-mail me and let me know what you think. We're growing so fast I'm thinking we'll need a second server for database

hosting, etc... Also, I'm going to start hiring folks to help out next year. If you have some free time (for simple stuff really) and want to make some

extra cash, drop me a line... 2008 will be rolling in, and I want to be rolling with it. Either way, let me know your thoughts: painthappy@gmail.com



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

The KP2. Why the KP2? Have you SEEN the prices these have been going for as of late? I thought $350 was high only 4 years ago. Now $450 seems to be the

norm if not higher. You collectors sure like your KP-2's. Any why not? What other gun has a wood stock (aside from the obvious Palmers), that lets you

stand out at your local field and be known.

Those that currently own them. You have made a sound investing decision. That $15.00 K2 that I passed back in high school is coming back to kick me now!



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

That LAPCO changed their name to PCI, and back to LAPCO again somewhere in the early to mid 90's. I'm not sure when or how, but I'm tracking down more

information on it. I'll I have as proof is written text confirming the name change, and some Grey Ghost pump arms with PCI engraved in the side. While I've

never seen a Ghost or Wrath with PCI on it, I now own proof that one may exist, or that they were thinking of doing it.



POTENT QUOTABLE

Until next time, I still am, and will be:
