So who all on NICO paintballs? I've been playing on and off since 1999 and I have been DYING to get back into the sport once I save up some money. Where are you from, where do you play, what do you shoot, and what style of play do you prefer? (indoor, outdoor, speedball, x-ball, etc.)

ive been playing since i was 13. i got a modified spyder left out of all my guns. i love speedball, but wooded play is fun too, as long as guys dont get all pussified and take too long. no patience for that, i rush people.

i normally play woods ball but where i play is a forest with little to no undergrowth so its decently paced. you can still lose track of someone behind trees that are anywhere from 6" to 3' in diameter though. i have a stock 4 year old spyder imagine that i spraypainted camo lol.

I love paintball. I like playing speedball at any of the parks in ohio. I used to shot an e-triggered spyder, well I kinda do again. It was my back up gun, but its my main gun again because I just sold my autocoker on ebay. ( http://ohiopbx.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=7020&PN=1 )

I used to play paintball all the time. I started in 97, and unfortuneately for the past 2 or 3 years, my job had required me to work on Sunday (paintball day). I have a Smart Parts Eclipse, with blade trigger, Genesis board, and derlin bolt (I shot the gun so much it wore through a section on the original one). I can't wait to get back into it when I return to the US. My local field was owned by one of the nicest guys I have ever met. I worked there and reffed for about 2 years too.

Old Thread? Yes. The gods say, let it live once more!

Okay, Nico Paintballers Unite!!!

Hey guys, I play scenario/milsim and some walk on play. I do Speedball everyonce and awhile as well. Currently retired until I can get my finances straightened out. Started playing back in 97 and played on and off since.

I am a member of Team ODX based at Command Decisions in North Carolina. I have been with their armored Corp for the past six months. I was a tank commander till two weeks ago when my tank was decommisioned due to being broke as heck and needing to sale my Kawasaki Mule...

I was the XO (Lt) for the British Commonwealth's 13th/18th Royal Hussars (Armored unit) at Oklahoma D-Day 2007.

EDIT:

Gear: I almost forgot. 2 Tippmann A5's. Both RT, one with Flat Line and the other Apex'ed. Tacamo Type 68. Spyder Compact. Zues G1 pistol. I use my friends Matrixs or Pro Master on occasion. Deffinelty will go with a high end marker next time I buy one.

My outfit...Tippy 98 with 20" stone cold 2 barrel (NLA) and some scopes.I now use a Spyder AMG(electronic) because I have been out-gunned a couple times and I don't like it. The Spyder is a decent gun but it is a little finicky as it needs oiling often. The 98 fired perfectly after going through soo much...dropped in mud and filling the barrel and bolt area with mud, going under water, being dropped while sprinting, etc...sometimes all in one game!!LOL

I have a couple Tippys. An A-5 egrip with a palmer's brass barrel and apex tip, a stock 98 backup, and my wife uses a Spyder pilot ACS with an evo3 loader. I've played speedball, but I don't have the money to keep up with all that paint. I play mostly woodsball.

Automags represent!

I've got a Minimag myself. Next up is turning it into a pnuemag.

I've also got a Pro/Carbine for backup (like Automags need backup..). ****er's a TANK.

I have friends who are hardcore. It is to expensive for paint. I play when I get an itching too or my friends need someone and I have cash around.

^ what are you shooting now Still Dm/Pm?

And If anyone needs a gun cheap let me know I can find crazy deals.Give me a budget and what you want for the money.

I recommend Bob long, Macdev, Plant Eclipse.
