Arrrrrrrrrrrr.........Im going back to harmless 6mm airsoft.

Very difficult for a police officer to confuse this with a real gun.

I have a blue brass eagle blade ...........looks much better.

This reminds me of the movie with Kaneau Reeves where the surfer dudes say: "Yep .........thats a surfboard."

Funny experience:

At the airball field the other week the valve in the big inflatable rocket blew and it started leaning. (I took advantage and crept under the side it was leaning towards to shoot some poor kid in the feet).

The 14-year-old referees then called a hiatus to the action so they could grab the blower and reinflate it. The blower is a big red-and-black plastic thing that looks oddly familiar.

Thanks to my repeated cracks, a few of the kids say "(random bunker) is deflating, get the Triumph!"

Holy thread ressurection!

Okay, first off, this is a really old thread but I had to say something interesting so here it is.

Tippmann claims it is made of High impact composite body, whatever that is. And sometimes the plastic these guys use is decent. But we all know it doesn't last.

My story is that about 10 years ago I started playing with a brass eagle blade. 30 bucks at Kmart with a mask. It lasted me about 6 months and I bought a spider compact 2000, all metal, cost me about 75-100 bucks, can't remember. I progressed up to a model 98 that ran me $125 at the time.

My point? Well, we all start somewhere. I had teammates that used samurai's and talons. My team captain used a stingray 2. If I remember correctly there is also a pump samurai, I think it was the sabur or something, and a kid down the road showed up with it a few times. All these guns leaked eventually, all broke down. But most of us still play regularly, and with nice guns, considering where we started anyways.

Of course we played "illegally" in the woods near where we live, but as time progressed and houses went up, we moved to legal fields and better guns to keep up.

By the way, from a $30 blade, I just ordered my first $400 palmers Houndstooth. So what is wrong with starting small?

I think what we all should be looking at is the fact that we ALL have been in walmart or Kmart or a nice sporting goods store and seen some 12 year old with his/her dad looking at a gun we KNOW isn't worth the money. I was at walmart years ago and a kid was looking at a stingray 2 vs. a spider. I told him to spend $20 more on the metal and he'd enjoy it longer and not get stressed out when the platic one cracked or something (I have many stories about cheap guns so it wasn't hard to convince him).

He bought a better gun and I have no idea for sure about him, but I know I would have been happier.

My second point? Help people in stores. You know zit faced store clerk at Kmart has no clue what a "painting gun thingy" is. Help your future targets get guns that cost a little bit more, but will ensure they will be behind that bunker next month, not at their cars tinkering with a crappy gun and never coming back because they wasted their money.

Okay, I went on long enough, but remember, parents want to buy Quality, an have no idea what that is. Help them help thier kids. Help them not waste their money. When you over hear a kid begging for a new gun at walmart, suggest they spend their money on something decent, maybe not perfect, but decent. Be honest and up front, and then remind them that they dont' HAVE to buy it, but if the do, buy a good gun.

um , if i recal correctly they didnt have blades back in 97. that was more 2001 or 2002.

russc · 02-24-2007, 02:01 PM

Talons might have been around.

Mstrtal · 02-24-2007, 02:04 PM

I still think it looks like a BE Samuri that got raped by a Black & Decker.

"Also in 1998 Big chain stores like WALMART, started carrying Paintball. First it was low end Brass Eagle like the Blade, Tiger Shark, Samurai"

Taken from http://www.ody.ca/~cwells/history.htm

It may have been 1998 when I bought mine, but it was at Kmart, and around here they have dust on their stuff it's been sitting there so long. I know it wasn't 2000, early 1999 at the absolute latest.
