Haven't played in a few years. Both air tanks are out of date now as well.

 

Have a couple Smart Parts Ions, minor mods, freak barrel, can't remember the other barrel set we have.

have a couple of upgraded tippmans, use to play with my freinds in the woods.. never liked speedball, always thought it was more fun to run around in the woods and hide and use camo.

I preferred speedball myself because IF you got out in woodsball, it could be a bit before the game was over and you were playing again.

 

As for the camo in woodsball, I gave that up and liked the challenge of trying to hide while wearing a colored paintball jersey. Made for a more challenging game! Last time I played (woodsball) I got my cousin out, and he kept trying to get me to talk since he couldn't see me (even with the blue jersey on) so his teammates could possibly hear me!

Wife's Smart Parts Ion 68/3k steel tank. Have the same forward rail as mine, just not at the pic time. Also have an E Pipe barrel kit for her marker.

Not sure why this is turned 90*???!!!

Both guns have the stock boards, but upgraded internals.

 

If time allowed I would like to get out and play again!

That's some heavy duty looking equipment....much more so than the rented equipment I've used when going paint balling.

Both are electronic markers. Semi auto, full auto (10 balls/sec), 3 shot burst, or "ramping semi auto" which when you shoot at least 8balls/sec (I think it is), it will ramp it up to 17/sec! Can empty a hopper in no time!

 

Compressed air is more consistant than CO2 regarding shot velocity.

 

Have had a few markers over time. Started w/ a Tippman 98 Custom. Then had a stock Smart Parts Impulse, then a Team Rat Impulse (custom cut & carved body) with upgraded internals. Sold it when in between jobs, and when I got another marker bought the Ion.

I used to play paintball, but about five years ago I switched over to airsoft and play pretty regularly. It winds up being a much more economical sport to play.

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      I removed the OE running boards.  It looked so much better.  I wish I took them off a long time ago.     I had to put something back on for my wife.  I wanted Westin Sure Grip Running Boards but they are very pricey, like $600 plus.  I was going to go with the Ionic 41's like I had on the 2019 Silverado but went with Westin Outlaw Drop Steps instead, about $200 cheaper.  They are sturdy and functional but not super crazy about the look, but it works.
