Paintball

Agreed, Slingshots are tons of fun.

I'd get a wristrocket but they're illegal in california iirc (or for people under 18 only maybe, but I'm only 17 so)

I have one.

that thing is awesome, and paintballs are pretty darned accurate with it. I've went rabbit hunting with rocks with it before, but I didn't hit any.

I bet that you can get above 300FPS with a nice slingshot, maybe even get into the dangerous range. I don't have any numbers though, so I could be totally wrong.

Well at 200+/- yards, being shot with a paintball that came from a wrist rocket still hurts like hell! So they at least have as much power as a marker, maybe more?

Probably more power as I've been hit with a marker at under 50yds and it didn't hurt at all, stung a tiny bit at first and left no welt.

So... Wristrockets = Woodsball snipers? =/

I don't paintball yet, but I'm in the market for a gun. I was looking at the 98 Custom myself, all my friends say it's a nice gun. They paintball fairly often, and since nobody airsofts here anymore I need a new way to deal destruction on people.

Any other recommendations? Where'd you buy your gun from Omega (I'm assuming online)?

I would say either opt for the 98 Custom or the A5, both are excellent markers and well made, plus they got some pretty sweet addons that you can buy if you ever feel the need for them.

If your looking for a cheapo marker, but you are still wanting decent quality, I would say go for Kingman Spyder. The Rodeo is my favorite marker made by them. The Victor II, the one I owned, was a pretty decent marker and is pretty cheap these days. Was 120 when I picked up mine, but I believe you can pick them up for around 70-80 dollars.

If you want the cheapest of the cheap and balls that don't break unless your at point blank, go for one of those twenty dollar Brass Eagles.

everything you need to get going with the 98 Custom Pro sans CO2 and paintballs.

I'm already looking at a new barrel because I've caught wind that stock 98C barrels suck. I'm looking at a J&J Ceramic barrel for it because I've heard that they're bitchin' barrels for their price (30-40 bucks).

Anybody have experience with a Proto 1-peice 14" barrel, mirror shine? I might be getting one to replace the Tippy's stock barrel (for general playing, I might make a supershort barrel out of the stock one, heh). I heard that J&J's are good, but the local shop doesn't carry them...


So? Any thoughts/experience?

Thanks.
