Reviews on the HK Army RMX? I've always used Vforce Grill, but am looking for a change.

Is the turbo valve worth it for the amp/era?

I’m about to buy a second amp and one of them has a mech frame with the turbo valve. Is it worth the extra money?

I have a DSR+ on the way and I usually used a duece or scythes. I'm not to much of a fan of blades.

However this one is kinda like the opposite of a duece, and I was curious what people think of these triggers.

Should I plan ahead and look for a Billy wing/switchblade, free flow etc? or do these actually feel/shoot well?

Haven't played in 14 years so I'm quite excited and was thinking about grabbing a trigger just in case.

Thanks!

After having been out of the paintball game for over 10 years. I told myself the only way id get back in was if I could get my childhood dream gun. A cotton candy Planet Eclipse Ego. Lo and behold one finally popped up on ebay and now having access to adult money.... so how'd I make out? Any maintenance advice?
Also looking for some gear recommendations because im starting from scratch. Is looking on marketplace worth while?
Dont want to break the bank getting all the boujee gear, but definitely would like to get some nice stuff to make it more enjoyable.
Looking for recommendations on: tank, hopper(is the dye rotor still the go to?) mask, pods and packs, etc)
Thanks!

So as what the title says i finally got new head strap because they were wearing out. They would start to slide off my face when i ran when playing and decided to get the dye head strap for the JT goggles for like 50 bucks. I cut off the old head straps to have the mounts of the Evs and slid the new head straps in but when I put it on they were a bit loose. I decided to cut the tips on both ends and over lap them and sew them and it was my second time sewing so it looks ugly but I am hoping that they will hold. But yea they look really nice and actually really comfortable the new head strap

Hi all,

Just putting this out here as I am looking at doing a run of my own manifolds. These are an update from the original conversion manifold, which had required milling to the frame. This one has some additional tweaks to get everything to fit without milling and reduce costs.

If you or somebody you know are interested, please reach out to me! If there’s enough interest then the total cost appears to be around $50 for a full kit with the voltage step-down, which is a little cheaper than the kit that is currently available. Again, depending on interest, this new kit will likely be sold through a distributor such as Mazens.

I have previously done LV1 and Ego 11 conversions for people (you may know me as NighthawkAquila) and I may look at updating the LV1 conversion later on as well.

Does anyone have a diagram for the m170r version of the hair 45 v1?

I decided to clean and lube everything in my 170 and now I’m getting no bang. I took the hair 45 apart but I don’t think I lost any parts but after trouble shooting everything else I must have.

This is the only diagram I can find online and the m170 version does not have this many parts (or at least mine didn’t)

I don’t believe mine had the #003 o ring or the oring spacer. I also don’t have any sort of qev diaphragm.

So many memories from the early 2000s with this Dye Ultralite Autococker. Life was much more simple back then, tubby’s subs, movies, paintball, Xbox, chasing women, working on my car, world of Warcraft, counterstrike and repeat. I just googled paintball and found some places by me… would this thing still work? What do I need to do to make sure it does and gets back up and running?

So many questions, Are the paintballs these days the same size and do they make nitrogen tanks still? If I go to a speed ball place will I get destroyed because everyone has automatics?

Almost 20 years, getting back into the game and I always wanted an ego as a kid. Finally able to make that happen with this 11. I know I know solenoid, but I'll burn that bridge when/if it comes to it.

Can anyone id these guns? Also I have about 10 carbon tanks past 15 years old, anything I can do with them? Just looking for the model of the fund mainly and anything interesting you guys might spot.
