How Many...?

How many sidearms (or primaries if you want to view it that way Agent Smith ) do you guys own? I know its not a pic thread but pics are always fun.

I have a PGP Stroker, and a Mag pistol I am working on, definitely getting a Squall.

2 T8's and a Squall with one on the way (Danke, Freedom). I kinda call my Duckslide Phantom a pistol since it's about the same size as my Squall, it's just not semi-auto.

So, I'm at 4 if you count the quacker. Would've been 5 if the late Mr. Tussing hadn't screwed me over years ago... boo.

What makes an item a sidearm? Size? Air configuration? Barrel length?

Had (3) T8s, now just one... Also got a PGP if you count that, a T68 (Ariakon basically...) a PTX and an Enforcer.

I'd categorize a sidearm as something that's less than 16" long, run off 12 grams, has an 8 - 10 round capacity, holsterable and is usually semi-automatic but can be pump.

For example, even though you could get a Squall that's got a dummy co2 to bottomline, yeah it's still a sidearm but not in the true spirit (since you don't have to change out 12ies).

Splatty and PGP, and a Pug under construction that will hopefully arrive in 2 weeks or so.

Well I've had alot but I sell or give them away.

my paintball guns:
Armotech Zeus G2
Miltec G2
Warsensor WSP
Sheridan P68SC
Nelspot 007
TAG8
PTX

2 Delta68's I'm fixing up for friends.

Last Years class, I haven't reset my guns yet for this year:


To be truthful, after the nice way my mods turned out on it(ugly but effective!) and breaking it in throughout the SPPL qualifier and finals and the last half of the year, I wouldn't give up my Miltec as my main Primary, it has at least another year in it, but I want to try out an ACP2.0(Once I ditch the goofy triggerguard designed to prevent holstering and the magazines) and a friend and I were talking about an idea I had to soup up a sydarm that I may try, I owned one for a bit back in the day but didn't have any means at the time to tinker with it to make it work right. Other than that, the Miltec(for my idiosyncratic purposes) is king.
Remember what I always say Heebs, if you can reload so fast they can't move on you, then it doesn't matter if you reload every 10 shots or 200-you're back in action in time to stay alive !

Edit: My definition of 'sidearm' is more fluid, for my 220lb, 6'2" self, the sheridan P68SC is a sidearm, I holster, draw and reholster routinely, but for a small person, it's more of a rifle.

I might have to pick up a Miltech G2 just to play around with it. I would feel far more comfortable hacking up a Miltech then my Squall/Stroker to try out the mods that you've done to yours.

My Mag pistol will be like a soup'd up sydarm
