Questions that need anwsers

[walkingthegun]

I am getting an icd promaster and want to put a custom products direct mount asa on there. does the asa attach to the gun or do i need to buy a drop forward if so which one i will be running a crossfire 70 45 low pressure tank and i have a question about masks which one
proto axis blk/red
dye invision i3/blk/red
vents avitarblk/red
also which barrel kit should i run that is under $200 dollars i was thinking j&j edge elite
and what is the best 4 pod pack for a front/mid player i was thinking dye attack 4 pod pack

You can get one of the new CP ASA's that's a direct mount to the marker, eliminating the need for a rail or drop forward.

In terms of Masks, I rarely recommend anything not a VForce. I feel that they're the best on the market at the point. The proto's might be a good second choice.

In terms of barrels...I'd go with a CP Kit or Redz Pepperstix kit. The CP is probably the best bang for the buck...and you can find the individual backs/bore sizes in the Buy/Sell/trade forums relatively cheap.

For the pack...that's personal preference. I usually recommend Extreme Rage or Redz (probably one of the best), but the Dye's, Empires and NXe's are all good. There's lots of choices there.

You can just put the direct mount on the gun; you do not need an adapter or drop forward. Also look at Check it Products Unimount also, a great on/off valve, and the close to the same price, and great quality too.

For the masks, I would personally go to a shop and try them all on. See what fits you best and has the best comfort. I personally like the feeling and comfort of the Dye Invision, but the i3 has poor neck protection. If you were to get an Invision, get the first Invision, it does a good all around job of protecting your face.

A great barrel kit under $200 would be the CP Kit. As Lopez said, you can find individual backs for extremely cheap in the B/S/T Forums or on EBay too. You can also look at the Freak Kit, a very accurate barrel system, but the inserts are very cheaply made now, and have been known for cheapness and breaks.

A good mid player pack would be an Empire pack. Look at the fast packs and Action Packs. Both, great, comfy, snug packs that hold a lot of paint, and don’t bounce when running, jumping, diving, etc.

I'd take either the dye or vents mask over all the others. But i'd go to a shop and try some masks on and see which one feels the most comfortable on you. I'd also look into a scepter barrel kit and NXe packs.

since the direct mount is answered, and masks pretty much answered, just try them out. I liked my invisions till they decided to be a stupid and fog up everytime i put them on. and since the lenses are such a pain to change im just gonna buy new goggles instead of lenses.

Barrel kit J&Js are great, id suggest them, but also suggest lookin into a pipe kit found for 70-100 new. And then getting a Stiff tip for 60 if u feel that the pipe front is too loud.
I cant say im too pleased with the cp kits... when using same paint and people hae a .693 bc thats what matches, but yet im using a .689 with perfect fit, and their getting ball breaks and im not... something seems akward there.
Powerlye scepters are great kits too u can get in 3,5, and 7 pc bore kits. 7pc is like 175, 5 pc is like 150, and 3pc is like 120.

for harness, check out some reviews, i like extreme rages, but im not a fan of pod ejecting elastic. I like NXe's too but the belt is just to long, and they have the pod ejection elastic. I personally cant find a better harness then my 05 empire action pack, best 25-35 bucks u can spend on a harness, stays tight, comfy, light, small profile, and doesnt bounce and its a 3+4. I play all positions and i only use 3 pods, and im lucky to ever go through a full harness :P. most of the times its 1 hopper or hopper and pod. only 2 games this year have i shot a hopper and 2 pods.

One thing that people overlook when buying goggles is how easy the lenses are to change out. This is why I recommend the Proto's and the Profilers.

[paintballer279]

How often do you need to change out the lenses or wash the whole surface anyways? I just clean the visible part of my lense with water and wipe it down with a paper towel. I have never cleaned the whole thing, probably because I have never been gogged...

[papaintballer15]

lenses are suppose to be replaced once a year. Or usually if hit within like 20 ft at 300fps.

With vforce, pull 2 tabs, pop out lenses, clean then and pop back into place. Only thing i have about my morphs is the foam ripped easily on mine, lenses got scratched so easily and touching the lense when putting them back in after just being cleaned.

[aimedplanet]

the CP attaches directly to the gun. As for masks, only one of the masks you've listed has even been released yet. So if your looking to buy now, Dye I3s. Barrel kit wise, I say Freak, Peppersticks, or mac Dev matchstick. But please do everyone a favour and use punctuation.

[papaintballer15]

actually the masks are all out. And are all around the same price. Which personally id go with the axis out of those, but id much rather a profiler or Echo 20/20

I play every weekend, if not twice a weekend. I change my lenses out several times a year. When the paint gets underneath or between the lens and mask I usually take it out to prevent cracking or breaking/wear. So...for me, I remove mine frequently. One time taking the lenses out of a Dye Invision and you'll love the Profiler immensely.

[papaintballer15]

ever selling your profiler lopez? :P
you have the gray right...
