Yeah, its my first and definitely not my last!

You can use anything for speedball really, it just depends on the mods, a LPK e-bolted 98 would do fine... its just the guys who drop £1000 on their shiney high end guns would mock you :wink: :D

Unfortunatly, i don't know of a speedball field nearby so i can't try it out.

What about you, how long have you been balling?

I use a replacement camel pack bladder at Walmart to put in the back camel back pocket. I can fill it with one and a half of those huge Gatorade bottles in it. Regarding the 110/4500; I've done some research and I have managed to find a new 110/4500. I haven't bought it yet, due to lack of funds, but I know that they are made. I'm pretty sure that it will fit in the tank pouch on my flurry.
Why do I try to make a relevant post?

I'm surprised no-one has yet mentioned that this thread's name comes up in the recent topics list as "Airsoft and Paintball Bra".

That's either because you're all either unobservant, or pretending to be mature, and neither will do around here. :tongue3:
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

I've been playing for about 2 years now. The Tippmann 98 C ACT you see in my photos is actually my first gun. When I first got it, it was $110 and came with the flatline barrel, 12oz CO2, mask, and gravity hopper. It has come a long was since then including an internals replacement. I love my 98.

Oh I just heard back from Flurry Industries about the vest.

Flurry Industries wrote:Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Flurry Industries Paintball Products.
All of the vests can hold up to a 114ci tank. So basically everything on the market for paintball can fit in the tank holder. Most tanks can fit with a cover on as well.

If you have any other questions feel free to email us back.


Thank you,
Chris

in the summer i take out the foam padding in my flurry vest and freeze the water bladder, keeps me nice and cool and gives me nice cold water to drink during the game.

That sounds like a good idea. I have a long sleeved camo shirt and camo jeans that I play in during all seasons. It goes without me saying that it gets agonizingly hot. Oh and now since I have a harness, it'll be even hotter, oh joy! :x

Just got a Un1tec 14" barrel for my ION, its a .689 bore all the way through, its a two piece but the front extends all the way through the back, so the back is the marker threaded bit...

and it shoots ball on ball! its a perfect bore match for my Diablo formula 13.

pics to come!

that is cool if all you use is one paint, but if you play at a lot of different fields that are field paint only, like i do and you never know what brand paint they will have for the game a good barrel kit will be your best friend.

yeah i play at a site with site only paint (which was formula 13 at the weekend), i've got the un1tec and the stock barrel so thats a .689 and a .693 so i should have all my bases covered, at some point i will get the .691 un1tec front though.
