well, I doubt there's any anti fog coating on the lens as there's a plastic sticker that sticks on the inner side of the lens when we buy a new one.
thermal lens works in a way that, the temperature from the outside and temperature from the inside is seperated by a gap formed by the foam inbetween the 2 sheet of lens. hence the hot air from our face would not get to the cold outer lens surface, hence no fogging occurance.

Truth to be told, i'm wearing a single layer lens, was and used hand to scrub the lens when it's dirty( no detergents tho. ) and I do not get fogging ( even during rainy days. It's how you control your breathing actually. once you're used to it, there won't be any fogging, or only slight fogging would occur. Replacement lenses aren't that expansive by the way. ( if you read the manual closely, you are advised to change a lens once you're shot from a distance not more than 5 meters. )
For safety reasons, i'll change my lens every year.

my suggestion, Run water thru it, get a piece or two of kitchen towel, fold and roll it up, and squeeze it thru the barrel witha squeegee.
you won't have the luxury of hot water in tournament grounds. ball to bore is more important than microscopic gelatin residue when it comes to accuracy.

care to explain the bold part a bit ?

one of the few reasons why house marker's accuracy is crappy.

Usually barrel bore sizes for house markers are at most bigger or equal to .692 bore sizes. Where else, paintball pellet prices are usually .68 bore size. Hence no matter how you clean a house marker barrel, it will not be 100 percent accurate. Reason why the bore sizes are bigger or equal to .692 is becase as house / rental markers, they have to fit several types of paints.

Paintballs used are one main reasons as well. You can have great barrel condition, but if the paint used are irregular in shapes, it'll still swirl around.
it might all seem to be "round" but not all pellets are perfectly round. some sites might use recycled paint as well as the price are cheaper, hence the quality of the pellets is .

i agree that not much ppl have extra money lying around... I used to play paintball when i'm still studying, and price was at RM600 per box of 2000 pellets, so you guys are pretty lucky.

well, never heard any macdev users telling me this tho. something new.

generally yes. but cheap paints have irregular shapes and swell easier after exposing it to air.

astaka site is new, hence markers are of course looked better in condition. TT sports, xtion and a few places more are already there for years.. hence it's normal the markers are not in good condition.

alkt, this coming weekend free? i'm gonna be at xtion training.

erm.. Sunday usually ard 10 ~ 11 am till 4 pm....

well, you're almost right, except for the non member price for paint... it should be near 300 plus.. I couldn't recall too. call redza 012 261 6844 for bookings and info if needed.
