A disgrace to paintball...

[stingrayD]

this nrg paintball and virtual paintball stuff is so freakin lame it isn't even funny. it gives people a wrong perception on paintball. THEY GIVE YOU FREAKIN GOGGLES TO WEAR!! it would be really bad if some1 with one of those little nrg guns tried playing some1 with a tippmann or spyder :laugh:

[albert]

no not really.... ive never seen the commercial before... anyone got a link or pic of what it looks like?

[DontKillWhitey]

I saw the commercial yesterday and it was the ***est thing ive ever seen. I feal sorry for anyone who actually buys one of those things.

[SEPHIROTH_086]

Im also another person whos pissed about thos, im trying to get the company adress so I can write to em and tell em to at least change the name, heres a pic of the disgraceful thing!!

[albert]

seems like everyone is hella pissed off about this... im not... just dont like it that they're trying to pass it off as paintball.... it should be "nrg paint tag"

[albert]

Get into the paintball action with the N.R.G. Paintball Blaster from Toymax. Now you and your friends can hunt each other down and "splat" each other! It's just like real paintball so you can tell when you've been "hit." This cool set comes with a N.R.G. Paintball Blaster, one bottle of N.R.G. Paintball color (with over 100 "splats" per bottle) and one pair of goggles for safety. N.R.G. Paintball Blaster fires up to 40 feet! Other N.R.G. refills sold separately. Actual Paint Ball Blaster color and Paint Ball Blaster Refill color may vary from items shown.

This virtuall paintball thing is really pissing me off, I only saw the last 2 seconds of the ad for it, and I've been looking out for it all week. Instead, all I see is adverts for crappy dolls, including this awful, awful doll which has to go "pee-pee", and you see all these girls pull his pants down, and you see a plastic kiddy-*****. I had to hold the puke back, it was so nasty!

Oh yeah, everyone knows that paintball without the pain is "tball"

[NICKYB]

mommy mommy i want Pete the PEE PEE doll for christmas!!!

This nrg paintball stuff could really be dangerous. Let's say someone with one of those things tries to play against a tippmann at 280 fps, like a friend of mine has his on. And the guy with the little nrg paintball gun puts his goggles onto his face and walks into the woods. The guy with the tippmann spots him and fires. The paintballs shatter the lenses of the goggles, injuring the wearer's eyes, and he also would get other injuries to his face. Someone could really get hurt, they should take this stuff off of the market.

"in this game, you know when you're hit!"
-kid wipes splat mark-

"clooose caaaalll"
-kid wipes splat mark-

"direct hit!"
-kid falls down and looks like he's dead-

i can't believe they call it paintball.

hey prokchop: you better watch out, when you get hit w/ an energy booger, you know it!

that would be the extent. The guy with the tippmann should know better

[stingrayD]

yeah you're right alb. unless, of course, he's like some people i know...

[Wuzup101]

We sell those things at toys r us.... Their $70 for 2 guns, 2 goggles, and 2 bottles of splats...lol and $40 for 1 of each. 2 refil bottles with 100 splats each (lol...again) costs $13...holly ****... It's more expensive to shoot this pos squirt gun than it is to shoot real paint...but a tallon...lol

[Incube]

You know what is really i disgrace to paintball and that we should all get rid of and me *****ing about cuz it is a rip off?

BRASS EAGLE

[stingrayD]

well sorry to bust your bubble, but brass eagle is the company that got most of the people here to start paintball. the top selling guns are in fact BE's and tippmanns. After a while, when we outgrow brass eagle(believe me you will, i'm dying to get a custom 98 and i've only had my stingray for 10 months) we start saying that it needs to be gotten rid of, but it's one of the companies that keeps pball going.

Dont get a tippmman yuck...i know i started with be ..they suck i got an rt mag pro now!

[Savior]

looks like a squirt gun with colored water.

[stingrayD]

i just want a simple gun to play in the woods with...if i get more $$$ i might buy a mag. I like the tippmann i've shot it in the woods some and it's pretty good. The only thing i don't like about it is the weight but that's not a big prob. hehe...i'm getting mine from somewhere i can return it if it ever tears up and get any gun of my choice under $300. But time to get back to the subject..........Kids do NOT buy this nrg paintball stuff it is a FRAUD, at LEAST buy a stingray. Someone go and make a review of it back on pbreview so people can diss it there.

Hey,
Why post it on PBreview? its NOT PAINTBALL

i dont see what the big prob is... just their names... this is for kids like 6-10 who's parents dont want them being hit at 200mph.... these thing are probably clocked at 20mph.... I see no prob with people getting these, just as long as they know its not really paintball markers and that it should NOT be played agains real markers.

Personaly, i think this is a good product. it reminds me of nerf's old gak gun (the thing i was dieing for in christmas of 92). there is NO prob with kids getting the NRG and playing against other NRG guns.

[slikna99]

my little brother got one of these nrg paintball guns since I had a real one he had to get one to. so he sots this little thing and it goes about 20 feet. what a peice of junk. but i guess it will encurage kids to play?:pissed:

[albert]

no, its just like water guns.. fun for kids who's parents dont want them playing with projectiles going over 60 mph (not to mention 200 [paintball]).. i dont think it will encourage them to play paintball... it will just give them something to mess around with..
