Worst setup you've seen

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Maybe you built it yourself as a goof or when you were more green in the sport. Or you just saw it personally at a field one day in someones hands. Worst marker or gear set ups stories.

For me, it had to be any of those 18-20 plus inch barrels on a tippmann 98 "sniper package". Specially if they also threw a huge stock and bipod on it. So pointless.

oh and any of the super hyper real airsoft milsim crap people wear always makes me chuckle. I dont care if you like camo or wear a vest for mags. Just dont dress like you going to Fallujah.

I used a 21" CMI Stone Cold 2 barrel just for giggles on a Kingman hammer I had. I used it ½ a game. I kept catching it on every single tree and bunker. That was the only time I ever used it and the only barrel I ever used over 16". Never again, lol.

[Lt. head-shot]

For giggles I put a 20 inch barrel on a Line SI bushmaster, was a hoot.

I'll admit that 15 year old me put a long barrel and a stock on a 98, But no bipod.

Few months ago I saw a fully kitted milsim player with an airrowgun and 2 Tipx's on a speedball field. Was fun to watch him play. While I even had an Airrrowgun back in the day, I never took it to a field. Such a huge burden to try and make it work, its really only a back woods plinker.

Whenever a discussion gets brought up involving the airrowgun I have to post this video:

This is a video by member Packersrule shooting me right in the face with an airrowgun a few years ago. I couldn't believe it, I wasn't even mad. I went to the deadbox proudly that day.

He's trying dammit.

milsim and archery? Only acceptable costume when running a airrowgun is dressing like robin hood or that super hero who uses a bow.

[Lt. head-shot]

Oh no shade to this guy, but seeing magfed pistols on the speedball field was definitely interesting. IIRC he only used the bow for a bit and then immediately switched to the pistols. Wish I could say he was doing his best Legolas/Hawkeye impression, but the digi camo and helmet on top of a Dye I4 said otherwise.

[Jonnydread]

My first gun was a green apple Spyder Xtra that had just about every snake oil "upgrade" available. IIRC the only stock piece left on it was the body.

That gun was awful. It chopped paint like crazy, and even when I would do single shot it never shot well. I didn't understand why my $700 Spyder was so much shittier than everyone's basic bitch 98 Custom with a 14" J&J Ceramic. Ended up selling it when Ions came out at a massive loss. I should have kept the damn thing cause it had some super rare upgrades you never see secondhand these days. Years later I picked up a powerfeed Spyder with a stock barrel that shot absolutely fine, I was so pissed.

Fuck that gun.

[MrKittyCatMeowFace]

Glad you didn't quit because of it. many new players dont come back after they spend a bunch of money and get burned.

[punkncat]

My first Spyder was a fatty striker "One". It actually came with the finger groove Bob Long single trigger frame. Worked like a charm, came with an expansion chamber and so forth. (a friend of mine actually has it in his closet). I decided to "upgrade" from it to a fatty striker Milly, which I transferred the parts over to and then back as I "upgraded" those as well.
It landed on being a Bob Long Milly with all the AKA goodies inside, Palmers Stabilizer, all the air passages drilled, etc. The lightning bolt in that particular marker was just a bandsaw in essence. It chopped paint so terribly bad, couldn't ever make it happy, wouldn't set up right. I eventually sold all the AKA stuff off and converted it back to mostly stock on a Hyperframe and sold it once again working well as an "HP" marker.

[XEMON]

Magfed player with only the 1 mag that came with the gun ...

Also gotta love those huge scope on a 98 with 20+" barrels ... It's great for round ball

[The Inflicted]

Door number one?


...or door number two?

[Meleager7]

I like them both!

[The Inflicted]

Well if you like them there's always door #3!

Door #3 is beautiful!

[Cdn_Cuda]

Ooh, I want to play this game. This is the worst setup I’ve currently ever owned.

it’s over three feet long, the body kit weighs more than the A5 it’s bolted onto. It weights more than my 3 year old and that’s before you stick a tank on it. And look, a scope! I call her “Big Bertha” and am selling it locally on Craigslist. Would cost way too much to ship! Good news is it’s pure profit whatever I get for it and it’s got the cool wall hanger look. It originally even had a grenade launcher but already sold it.

[Mr. Hick]

I once in 02 ran a back bottle R/F open class phantom with a 90ci nitro duck tank and a Revy. it was ridiculous, unwieldy and I'm surprised I didn't break the poor gun.

[matteekay]

How the hell do I page bored383 on this new forum...?

VM.

You know the one.

[DocsMachine]

I think Inflicted wins this round.

On my part, a million years ago, I once gas-welded two coffee cans together, at a slight angle, with a feed neck attached, to make a ginormous "Whaler" type loader.

If I'd ever filled it full, it'd cracked off any feed neck you'd care to attach it to, but I never had more than about 100 rounds in it. I did it purely for fun. I've always estimated the total capacity at about 1500 rounds.

I once had a Sniper I put together from parts the night before the game- had part of a pool cue as the pump, and the pump rod was attached with electrical tape.

A buddy once had an Automag that we attached a bunch of duckbills, back-bottles, and expansion chambers to. You could attach- and use- I think it was five bottles (if two of them had on-offs) and theoretically, you could use the whole gun as a fill station.

And somewhere around here, I actually have a photo of a giant extended "drum" magazine I made for a TS-1/AT-85. Made it out of sheet hobby clear polystyrene, and yeah, I got a little carried away. I think if we ever filled it all the way up, it'd have held over half a case. (And likely shattered/collapsed if you tried to pick it up that full. )

Doc.

[glaman5266]

Probably one of mine. A-5 with RT, Trinity AK expansion chamber, 3" stubby barrel & 330rd APP hopper. Shot surprisingly well in the winter though. Short barrels are great for shooting through breaks. I also ran a Flatline on it for several years. When loaded it probably weighed more than my deer gun (stainless, laminate stock, heavy).

Other than my old A-5 I'd say my buddy's VM68. Dual bottle, long barrel, camo painted, big hopper. Heaviest paintgun I've ever shot.

[Interl0per]

Early in my amateur airsmith career I ran a sideline stab as an inline to an asa reducer on a sniper. Guy I sold it to said Palmers couldn't figure out how it ever worked.

Anyone running remote with a pouch on the back of a tac vest ("Could you turn me on? Crap can you turn me off!? No the other way!!")

[Siress]

Supposed to have a QD with check valve; no need for the valve on the asa.

[Interl0per]

Siress you'd think so

[Chuck E Ducky]

The Idea of Dual wielding TIPX pistols is 100x better then the reality. Even after spending a ton to upgrade them they are still terrible in anything other then perfect conditions. Multiply that by two and your in for a long day.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Yeah I gave up and sold them. I got a MAK kit for my phantom. But I really don’t play much mag fed.

[Butch3r]

my first marker was a T8, the next year the 8.1 released and I bought 2 that started me on the path of the dual wield of which I was surprisingly good and got lots of left handed eliminations and all but the T8's are heavy and unreliable so caring two actually worked out for the best because if one broke mid game I could holster it and rely on the other one but they broke down so frequently I carried a medic pouch on my vest with tools/seals and constantly found myself hiding behind bunkers with one marker stripped down for repairs while the game was still on. Once I got my phantom I never looked back, pure reliability and supper lightweight.

[Falcon16]

Had a pair of those, they were an absolute dog's breakfast, no leaks or anything put a mag in gun fires 3 balls then refuses to fire more. I degas and tear the gun apart. No idea what the issue is. but everything looks fine, reassemble. Second of the pair did the same thing. Even took them to the tippman tent at a big game and they couldn't figure it out. Traded them off for a phantom with full disclosure, far as I know tippman just swapped them out for the next guy as there was no obvious reason they would do what they did.

[Siress]

A local bolted two A5s together, a large plastic bin as a hopper, and a pull bar to hit both triggers at once. Had a remote line to a 114ci on his back and a shoulder strap to carry it around. Had to be two feet wide and nearly as tall. Could only shoot from the hip. He was a sitting duck. Only place it worked out was in the thicket, where he would dump $30 of paint to eliminate a renter by shooting a hole through the brush.

[glaman5266]

So a poor man's Double Trouble? Sounds pretty janky.

[bellicose]

Was it Shrek? I've seen a dual a5 crank trigger setup, and boy, when that crank started, you could hear it across the field. Was more for shock and awe than eliminations.

[Siress]

Not shrek, but this guy said the same about his set up. First thing I'd tell new players was that the dude was a sitting duck since he couldn't adequately use cover.
