A SWAT vest as in the real life vest, or a paintball specific vest?

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.

oops.....is SDU VEST....real 1 lah....just not add in stainless steel plat only loh....

Well, I think it's just the guy promoting MacDev, being on a MacDev team and all, but apparently it has some polymer inside that doesn't retain the residue, so all you need is a squeegee.

Doesn't Malaysia use .689 field paint though? I'd think that'd be what they use.

Seriously though, Astaka has really well maintained markers. Not the best accuracy in the world, but it's not as bad as some places *cough*... I can still get pretty good groupings at mid-longer ranges.

Yes, we're very lucky. Especially since I plan to enter Division 4 next year (which is like... suicide, since I'm getting my car next year as well, and yeah), and I only need 8-10 boxes of paint for a 5 man team, or so.

@tkt:

What does it carry then? I mean, what paintball gear.

I'm pretty stumped on how to quote in this forum.

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.

is not 4 paintball 4 sure but quite alot pockets lah....

i got the SDU vest too
level 3 vest
which 1 u own?

but i don't think paintball need to wear a vest

mine is Lv4...but i'm not sure which design u talking bout lah....
last time wore it just 4 fun, but every1 look at me so shocked.....hehehe!

what design?
i just talking about SDU vest
i got the level 3 one
i only wear it when i play at jungle or urban
but not speedball for sure

I guess. But I don't base my judgement on looks.. some markers look like they're about to die, but shoot pretty well.

Then there's TT Sports.. I think it has the worst markers I've ever used. Bukit Tinggi has pretty good markers, and they're the first ones in Malaysia. Xtion is okay too. NPNG is great.

@tkt:
It's good to wear a vest, but if it's heavy and has pockets that can't store equipment on field, there's really no need to wear it (unless you're desperate for protection). Sure, it looks shocking... but if you're going to have to bunker someone and end up getting tired from the run, there's no point.

The TDP guys I played with at Isi Rimba wear pod packs or harnesses (and they are the most awesome woodsball/milsim players I've seen in Malaysia). Well, one of them wore a dagger vest on the day, but the rest were just wearing plain camo or simple things.

If you want a proper vest, it's ideal to get the Special Ops Dagger Vest. That's good for milsim, carries pods and has a tank holder for going remote.

i sold that Dagger Vest to Auricom a.k.a Douglas

why? cos no point for me to keep since most of my stuffs are now speedball stuffs...might as well sell cheap to team member

nah we're not that awesome...just normal and average joes enjoying playing recball in the jungle

Still, you'd totally own virtually all of my schoolmates when it comes to woodsball.

What I'd take is an Ion with a DeadlyWind kit. Then I could leave it on and have a scope when it comes to woodsball, and leave the stock and scope off for tourney.

I liked any type of paintball, except target shooting. That depresses me.

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

i might be there on Friday for speedball training...need to check with Isky, Mark and MK 1st

Ah! Paintball! Love at First Sight.. Need to save up some money to fund for it.. Ah!!! Will definately join u guys if theres an event going on.. Well, depends on how free am i..
