Sing to the tune of "Ice Cream Man" by Van Halen (meh, you guys are probably to young to know the song.

)

I'm your garbage man, stop me when I'm passin' by
Oh my my, I'm your garbage man, stop me when I'm passin' by
See now all my powers are guaranteed to satisfy
Hold on a second baby

I got a good deleting button, ah, yes I do
All other powers and magic too
I'm your garbage man, baby, stop me when I'm passin' by
See now all my powers are guaranteed to satisfy

Heh... yea.. I kinda had to much sugar tonight..

But anyways... yea, I'll keep it clean.

My question is quite simple and I was wondering what paint would work best for a CP 1 piece 12 inch black barrel with a bore size of .689??? Here are a few choices
1-PMI Evil
2-RPS Advantage
3-Zap Spank
4-JT J balls
5-Jt maxims

Thank you
Steve

Any one of those should be fine. My personal recommendation would be Evil - it's just damned good paint. I also like most paints by Draxxus/Diablo such as Blaze, Heat, Inferno or Dusk.

I agree. Evil is awesome paint. Any of those paintballs would be just fine though. But out of those, Evil is at the top.

Too young? I can remember when the song came out: my friend's older brother came home with that album on vinyl, put it on the turn table, and all three of us were fixed on the stereo... I was 8 years old.

...yeah - I'm that old.

OK, 'nuf reminiscin'... I've got a question of my own. This came up in a conversation over the weekend, and I didn't have an answer for it:

What was the first company to start making after-market barrels? And what markers did they cater to?

Hey, my math is pretty good.

Hmmm, I'm really not sure who first made an aftermarket barrel. Original paintball markers never had removable barrels, so it took awhile before the became adjustable.

I do know that Nelson was the first to sell paintballs (balls were actually made by RP Scherer). But my knowledge only goes that far.

thedus · 12-02-2003, 09:35 AM

I'm getting off topic a bit here, so I'll keep it to this question: Speaking of Nelson - Did the Nelspot 007 have any upgrades at all? I know that the rules of the first game stated that the upgrades had to be limited to a certain dollar amount (I think it was about $5.00...?), but what, other than home made, mods were available?

You unknowingly answered my follow-up question: who made the first paintballs? ...damn you're good.

There was a wide variety of accessories available. Some made by Nelson and a lot made by the after market. I am only going to list the most common. Manufacturers are in parenthesis if I knew. Many parts are no longer made but may still be floating around out there. LAPCO and Cooper-T are re-releaseing many of their old parts.

No worries. Happens atleast once to everyone during their stay at PBReview.

Glen Beringer · 12-02-2003, 03:16 PM

Whats a good new or used barrel for like 50-70 dollars for an automag RT? Also, are freak system, empire kits, and evil pipe kits all that great? Or are they juss POS with good brand names? I know alot of people are like freaks are god, but other people say the insertrs warp. So would it be better to save up for a high end barrel kit?

teufelhunden · 12-02-2003, 03:20 PM

You could get a UL for 50-70 used. Bourne is selling a UL for the 'Mag, I think. Check it out.

Calebd2 · 12-02-2003, 06:25 PM

I hear kits are pretty useless for mags.

In the 70 buck range my votes woull go to a boomy prob...
