Just chip in for a small hand held chrono.

$80. If there's 5 of you, that's only like $16 a piece. 8 people is only like $10. I'm sure everyone could scrap up that much cash. Even better, each of you tell your parents that you want to play safe and don't want to get hurt, but you can't afford the safety gear and see if they'll chip in your part. Parents care about safety more than you do. :)

You think you're playing at 400 fps!? Turn those beeatches down a 100 fps. Yeah, like UT said, just get a chrono and have everyone chip in that plays. 280 fps is best in my opinion! :P

400? yeah right, may be 330. Get the chrono, its not worth injury over a lil cash

heh, I have seen them over 400.

Yea get a chrono or go to a feild and ask to chrono your gun there then leave :) ... I dunno if they would let you do that though and you would have to keep going back hahaha I have the worst ideas. But please get a chrono before someone gets hurt because then you might go to the emergency room with a serious injury then the news finds out about some serious paintball related inury and do a report on how it is dangerous or something (when it isn't when proper guidelines are followed) who knows it could happen :rolleyes:

i have seen a kid with an angel come to the chrono shooting just a bit over 500. He didn't know how to chrono it b/c his mommie bought it for him.

Not knowing how to chrono a marker has nothing to do with who purchased it.

It might because when you are buying something for yourself with your money then you tend (well I tend) to try to learn about how the marker operates, maintenence, and other useful things like how to turn the FPS down even before going to play at a feild. Also if you but it from a store and its your first gun or something then the store owner would probably tell you what you need to do to turn down/up the FPS.

I know that, what i was saying, was, he was a 11 year old, first time playing. Mom bought him an angel and he came in all cocky and stuff. He wanted to chrono his own gun b/c he said we didn't know how. So i let him try, and he started cranking it up, and couldnt figure out how to get it down. He then said i had broken it, even though i hadn't touched it yet.
