Last week I picked up a killer deal on a Tippmann 98 Custom paint ball marker. One of our neighbors saw us testing out one of our paint ball guns after we stripped it an oiled it. He used to play paint ball himself, and wanted to know if we wanted to buy his “stuff.” He said for $100, we could have the whole “bag.” Now, this bag was basically just a sack with markers, CO2 tanks, and paint balls exploded in it. Believe me, it was a mess.
My brother, Matt, picked up a fully automatic spider, since all he owns is spiders right now. He managed to get that for $40. So, the soiled Tippmann just sat there for a couple of days. I told him that I would give him $40 for it sight unseen since we needed another gun for even teams. Well, I got a great deal.
The 98 Custom cleanup up well, and came with a 16oz tank, flatline barrel, stock barrel, vertical expansion chamber, trigger mod, and collapsible stock. Granted, I do need to buy an adapter for the flatline barrel, but that is a $15 part for a $120 barrel. We tallied everything up, and determined that it would cost about $400 to buy all the stuff new. So, a deal even the dutch could be proud of.
Once I get the adapter for my barrel, I am going to take a picture of it, and shoe horn it in this post. So, stay tuned.
Paintball is a activity that makes use of spherical, marble-sized capsules of paint which are shot at opponents using an air-driven paintball gun or marker. As you can almost certainly guess, staying hit with a person of these items at near range can sting a small, and paintballs can result in a bit of a basic safety situation especially exactly where the eyes and experience are concerned. That is why it is so key to put on the right security gear every single and every single time that you go paintballing.
