Hey guys anyone on here like to play paintball. I like playing the game but I hate the little Jerks that shot my truck last week and covered it in paint and dented the shit out of it. People just need to understand it is a sport and not a way to vandalize.

I played paintball a lot in High School and we would shoot each others trucks up all the time but they were all old trucks made with real metal so never had any dents. If it wasn't a friends vehicle, wasn't back in the field where we played and we didn't know if the if that particular friend would be ok with it(other then washing off the paint) we wouldn't think of shooting it. Now with that said I recently got back into playing and we play have played a couple of times at my brother inlaws body shop and we have shoot the crap out of some of the junkers he has sitting in the back lot, they make great bunkers.

what kind of guns do you guys have? i have a tippman a5 with a 500 round hopper and a bipod that shoots 23 balls a second and another a5 with like 22 inch barrel

I have a Tippmann Phenom with a Pinokio hopper, also have a Project Salvo for a backup/loaner.

 

 

EDIT: Found a pic I could get to at work, I have added a custom name plate to replace the X7 Phenom one.

Paintball is an amazing sport! Played tournament for a few years before quitting to buy my truck :lol:

i got a ion with a shocker reg and virtue board in it running a 92/4500, also got a a5 with soem stuff on it but i like the ion better cause it was lighter but nothing beats the reliabilty of a tippman. i droped my a5 from a 2 story window went down to get it and started playing again.

I can't say I haver been a fan of the Tippmans :lol: But yeah I loved my mini. My ego took the cake though, I liked that 08 better than any of the 10s or 11s I've shot.

    • I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
    • I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be. 
    • I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!
    • I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify. 
    • I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
