Re: Epic paintball game
K, Jules, well it seems from initial responses to the idea that people would rather keep the weekend gaming-orientated. I'm keen, but will liaise with you and Fly directly. If anyone else is keen, I'll suggest they do the same.

Fly.
Are you going to 'Beirut' this Sunday?
We can make the same arrangement as last time if you like/need.
I'm going to BnT on Wednesday to get my marker serviced and upgraded (E-trigger, Apex barrel, folding stock), so I'll buy another box of PBs then (gonna try the next 'grade' up from the 3-2 this time). Some 'nades may come in handy for an urban game too.
sycho:
However, being a far larger event than the casual Field 19 thing, we can't leave gear lying about on tables, etc. so have plenty pods to fill, coz the case will invariably be locked in a car.
Also, you may be interested in this:
I went to The Plastic Shop at Hillfox on Sat. They have really neat 'Ruff Tote' kinda boxes there with wheels and 'pull handle' which are pretty ideal for PB stuff. I scooped the smaller one for around R100, and am gonna modify it to house all my crap (which the missus has already named 'Julians Toy Box'). Considering how much shit you have to carry about, you may wanna look at the larger option, but it'll def be easier than carrying a sports bag, marker, case of PBs, etc. Just drag it along like roller-luggage.
I'll probably be finshed modding mine by the next time I see you, so I'll show you then.
Oh, ja... and WHERE ARE MY PHOTO'S, BITCH?

Re: Epic paintball game
Hi Jules
ATM i am on for beirut, thanks for the very kind offer.
i can bring along my big umbrella or some personal shade and a small table, and am quite happy for my car to be used as a "hold all" for our equipment. i like your idea of a rough tote with wheels, and will def consider putting all my stuff in ONE box, and then its just the dive tank. PS - you welcome to borrow my extra air cylinder for your marker and i will make sure i have both dive cylinders so we have loads of air.
i had hoped to get my daughter to put another respectable coat of paint on her tank before we took pics, because then the wheels would be on.
AND DONT FORGET THE BALL DETENT (anti doubel feed) - little orange goodie that didnt work so hot last time.
@s3xy - lets do a final poll this week, and see who else may be interested. I am keen, and will do some investigation as well.

Re: Epic paintball game
Zoot'll probably take his bakkie along, so space in a car isn't the issue.
Hopefully I will have my new wheels by then too,so I'll have loads, too.
But, cool. If I'm still stuck with the *****, *****ing ***** C2, I may take you up on that.
I'm still using CO2 so don't bring air for me. I'll just fill all my tanks on Wednesday, so I'll have 2 spares. Kinda reluctant to switch back and forth between propellants.
CA makes me a tad nervous. If a CO2 bottle blows, you get really cold. If CA bottles blow, you get a wheechair (tac vest + remote coil)
Yeah, I want them to sort that detent, as well as polish and lube the workings, check O-rings, springs, etc. when they fit all the spiffy new bits for me. The way bits and pieces fly whenever I open my marker up, I'd rather just pay someone else to do it for me, and properly, with genuine parts, etc.

@ Flaai..
Dude.
We am organising a private day/night paintball game on a farm out in Pta.
A 'search and detroy' theme.
Gonna be playing 'vitals only' with medic functions... the whole bangtooty!
Probably be a campover thing, with braai, booze (you saw how it ges with us at 'Beirut'), etc. when we aren't playing.
So far, we have about 20 players.
Perfect opportunity to test that bow rig of yours, in the field.
You interested?

Re: Epic paintball game
Kinda sketchy at the moment.
But it's coming together rather nicely.
We have the farm organised.
We have 14 players so far. Ok, 15 now.
More will sign up.
I'm going to check out the farm on the weekend with Russel. It's his mate that owns the farm.
Once we know exactly what we're up against, we'll arrange HPA and CO2 refill systems, water and power (not sure if we're going gas, or if I am taking my genny, yet).
Then we'll arrange the date, but there will be plenty of notice given.
