Lens Change?

Been out of the game for 20+ years, planning to start playing again, and I am trying to get caught up with all of the changes in paintball.

One thing I keep seeing when researching masks is how much the lense change on the ProFlex sucks.

I have owned a few masks (including a Proflex) and I dont think I ever changed lenses in them.

Are lens changes a more recent thing?
Is it to swap lens tints/polarization?

State of the Game in 2026?

I've not played paintball in around 20 years. I started in 1985, and played right up until 2005. The first paintball gun I owned was a stock PGP pistol. I upgraded to a VM-68 black/silver as soon as they came out. By the time I finished, I had a chrome Shocker II (shoebox) electric semi, and a Phantom SCP pump.

I used to be very much into it, and at that time airsoft was in its infancy. Now it seems that everything is all about the airsoft. There are airsoft fields all around me, and I rarely see any advertising for paintball anymore.

Has the game been struggling everywhere, or is it just locally to me that it seems to have taken a dip?

Clearly there's still some money in the game, because of all of the amazing gear I'm seeing posted here.

Wer kennt sich mit markierern aus ?

Moin zusammen,
Ich hab mir ein DYE Rize CZR gekauft, hab ihn jetzt auch das erste mal gespielt und soweit passt alles. Allerdings spiel ich ausschließlich in Tschechien und bräuchte dafür halt auch die 300 FPS. Der Marker macht aber nur 200 obwohl der Regler für die FPS ans Maximum geschraubt ist. Kennt sich jemand damit aus ?
Reicht der Auslands Bolt um die FPS zu erhöhen oder bräuchte ich noch etwas andere ?
Vielen Dank im Voraus

What gun is this?

The case was left at my dad's shop, but I have the gun itself.

What gun is this? It also had 5 all day passes with $50 of Paintball USA. They also don't have a written expiration date. Score..?

First Pump!

I was looking for a pump to save money on paint to be able to hit the field every weekend, i'm taking it to the field next week saturday in a REALLY BIG paintball field with airball, scenario and xball Fields and going to meet up with the local speedball comunity near My State

Also anybody has tips or advices to play with pump? I used a tippman 98 before upgrading/switching to this

(Also should i use the 50 round Hopper or the 100 gog multical round one?)

Good deal on a mini gs?

I'm not exactly looking to buy another marker but this popped up on FBMP and it seems like a solid deal. New they retail for $380. It could be a new marker for my 12 year old who wants to get into the game.

UPDATE: I sent the guy a message but according to Facebook I'm unlikely to receive a reply. Oh well. It was worth a shot.

Been seeing everyone selling luxe lately…did the hype finally wear off? Curious do people have the issues with luxe as I see on the field?

Is luxe all hype?

Cronus leak

I just bought a Cronus the other day and when i went to air it up today it just started leaking down the barrel. I’ve had issues like this with my emek and especially my axe but i never expected it from a tippmann especially a new one and i only really have experience taking apart my other markers. Should i try to replace the o rings myself or bring it somewhere?
