I’m wanting to build out my tech bench so I can service my markers, masks, regulator, tanks, etc.
What tools do you guys consider essential for a paintball workbench? All I have right now is a stock set of Allen wrenches that came with my marker.
Thanks for your time and any responses. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. ❤️
Ok guys so I just watched LWPB’s efficiency test on the the Method Shocker ERA and their video on the new Luxe Aire. The MS ERA shot 12 pods and the Luxe Aire shot 13 pods.
The price difference between the two is substantial. The Aire cost x2 (double) what the ERA does. I picked up a Method Shocker for $700 I haven’t played with it yet but so far I really like the feel of it.
My question is to you guys who have been balling longer than I have is that 1 extra pod worth the extra $700? I know there may be better features on the Aire. What are your guys’s thoughts?
I just picked up my PGP marker on eBay. It was listed as *For Parts and Repair*. Does anyone know anybody in the stock class community that repairs and restores PGP’s? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Good Afternoon everyone. I’m reaching out with a question. I just found out today that you can attach a Proflex bottom to an Empire e-Vent 2.0 lens & ears.
My question is can I change the strap to a regular JT Proflex strap. I’ve heard the answer yes and I’ve heard no. If so, what are the steps that I need to do?
Thank you for any help!
What upgrades are available for the Axe 2.0?
I know there are “better” markers out there. I know I’m going to get flamed in the comments. I held and tried holding other markers and test how they a lot of them felt.
For whatever reason the Axe 2.0 just felt really good to me. I haven’t had a chance to try a Field One Force or a Luxe Aire yet. The axe just felt really good. So all that said what are the upgrades out there that will improve the marker?
I purchased a Field One Acculock kit so that takes care of the barrel and inserts. I’m going to run an Empire Loader and an Infamous Hyperlight 68 or an 80 with Powerhouse Counterpunch reg. What else is available? Any core or boot upgrades? Boards, or triggers?
TLDR: I got scammed on the PaintballBST subreddit by Agreeable-Device-206 I appealed it to PayPal and they issued me a refund.
I wanted to wait until the dispute had been resolved before posting anything.
On April 25th I started a transaction for a Planet Eclipse GTEK HDE Forest. I had made a ISO/WTB listing on the PaintballBST subreddit (Yes, I will be crossposting there as well) Reddit user Agreeable-Device-206 reached out to me and informed me that they had the paintball marker I was looking for.
The Seller had photos of the marker, and even date stamped photos with my Reddit username on them (I now believe those were AI altered) They were selling the marker at the price I wanted to pay. They also agreed to use PayPal Goods & Services.
I proceeded with transaction. In hindsight, this where I made my first mistake. When I tried to send the payment to the Seller’s PayPal account I received an error message. I informed the seller of this. The Seller then gave me the PayPal account name of their “Husband”.
I attempted a second transfer of funds and the payment went through. The Seller requested my address and I gave it to them. They told me that they would ship the marker the following Monday April 27th.
I browsed Facebook and then found another red flag. It was a photo of the marker I had just purchased. I reached out to the seller via comments. They confirmed that they were the original owner and had sold the marker quite some time ago. I took screen shots of the Facebook listing and my message exchange with the original owner.
I began to investigate the issue on my own before contacting PayPal. I searched the Sellers username and another Reddit user from the airsoft community who had made a post about Agreeable-Device-206. That Reddit user reported that they had also been scammed. I took screen shots of their post as well.
I started a claim on PayPal and submitted all my evidence. After I started the report I encountered two separate listing for the same marker by two fraudulent TikTok accounts. I also screenshotted those and sent them as additional evidence.
PayPal reached out to me today and confirmed they were refunding me the money. I know I’m going to get roasted in the comments. Take my stupidity and learn from it. Hopefully this information helps to protect you from any bad transactions.
I urge you to never use anything but PayPal Goods & Services for any transaction online. That way you have Buyers Protection. If they ask for any other form of payment then let that be your first red flag.
Search their Reddit username, check their profile page, and image search the photos they send you to make sure they aren’t recycled. The Scummy Scammers are getting smarter out there. Good luck!
(I have included screen shots of the transaction, and my evidence)
