HI! i'm ordering my marker... someday when i decide not to be lazy...

NE way, i don't want to look like an idiot on my first day if i can help it, one of hte things that would make me look like an idiot would be loading my balls to fast/hard and having them explode all over my precious marker and myself. I read on a review that you could drop a paintball from shoulder-height onto a dirt surface it will break. That seems pretty fragile to me. How should you load them???

pop the lid open and pour them in, they will not explode.

A dovetail is an ASA which can be attached to a dovetail-style drop forward. As far as I'm concerned, that's the only difference between that and regular ASAs.

By the way, an ASA is somewhere you screw your tank into.

paintballs only get very fragle if there keep in the sun(shell melt) or there not keep dry in storage.(dimples or swelling).dont put paintballs in your tunk overnight or in a damp cellar.Most good vendors now use zip lock bags wich are easy to pour paintballs into pods.Some new products are paintball jugs and paintball bags wich will hold about 1000 balls.a cheap copy of paintball jub is ether a ice melt jug or a clothing soap jug.just wash them out real good and keep them dry.Anothertip get to the field early and have extra pods fill them all.you just have to fill the emptys during breaks.

NO worries about getting swelled from mostiure...

I live in UTAH southern UTAH, and thats why we have the best snow on earth. its snow. thats it. no water in it. VERY good snow, no to damp, perfect powder.... IF ONLY IT WOULD SNOW! WE'RE IN A FEKIN DROUGHT HERE GIVE US WATER!!

PS.... i live in a small town. the only good store we have is a wal-mart, not even a super wal-mart. i can't even get high-speed internet... right now i'm running at 14k... there isent a paintball field for 45 miles...

Flip the lid and pour them in. Their not as fragile as you think.

You are typing that because you dont know what an x-chamber is:eyes:

your never going to let me live that down, are you?

But x-chambers ARE useless, they ALLOW co2 to get inside the gun, and if your shooting rapidly, it still pulls the co2 out of the x-chamber into the marker!!!

ANTI SIPHONS, they prevent liquid co2 from getting into the gun IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I stand by every thing i say.

Anti siphons don't completely fix it. There's always gonna be liquid CO2 going into your marker unless you're elite and run a remote :rolleyes:. The only way to really eliminate liquid in your marker is to upgrade to n2.

loading your balls to fast and hard and making them explode, all over your marker and self? that is disturbing. i think you should re-phrase that.

NE way just pour em in a pitcher and then pour them in your hopper. it works.
