You can always go back to making action figure comics!

Oddly, reminds me of the "Lenny" character in the "Bobby Dukes" movie who likes to replay famous paintball games using He-Man action figures..... clearly the greatest movie ever!



Unfortunetly, my montneel.com site is ending up the same way. Not for lack of interest, but lack of time. I switched careers and no longer sit on a computer pretending to work for 40 hours a week. Now I work in sales, and on the road for 80! So I look at my site as more of an archive of information now. I know that once it goes down... that information will be lost for good. Nobody is really keeping track of those old early 90s guns.

All those late 90s blowback cheapos killed all the interesting in the high-quality early stuff. ie Spyders, Brass Eagles, and the pot metal Tippmanns, Pirahnas, etc. Sure, they were all good guns, but were made as cheaply as possible. You can buy blowbacks at Walmart for $39 these days. Hard for the new players to appreciate a PMI-3 that was -10- times more expensive just 20 years ago. Heck, most players today were born AFTER the original PMI3 came out... damn... I just feel old!
