Anyone down for a build-off?

[Impactfour]

I like the er2 idea, they're easily available and super cheap, plus I just got one today as a walzmas prize.

[COB]

I have plenty of ER2 and STBBs in the arsenal, if people want or need them.

[Ecapnation]

I might be down but the last build off kinda died after everyone submitted

[Mutantcatmoxie]

I would be in for STBB build

[JeeperCreeper]

So the JT's still sell at Walmart. If anyone cant get it shipped direct, I could potentially get them shipped to my house and send them to whoever needs one, just reimburse me the shipping fees.

Biggest issue with the JT’s is the need for 12g air. Some of us don’t have/want/need to buy a gun that takes a different air source

[JeeperCreeper]

But ask yourself this: does it really *need* 12 gram co2 to operate. The point of this is to make it work however you want.

Convert it to constant air and problem solved

I have 2 examples of Polished Turds. Amazing what you can do with these basic markers. Also, I have several ER2s and Talons that I can unload at cost plus shipping. For most, that would be in the $35 to $45 range to your door.

[JeeperCreeper]

The Talon has an identical valve and bolt, right?

[COB]

Simple answer no. See post below

[Heavy_D]

Ok, to me it sounds like were doing this. What sort of Deadline for entries do yo figure?

[JeeperCreeper]

After the details are finalized, I'll give everyone 2 weeks notice to sign up and gather what they need for a marker

[Heavy_D]

Sounds great! Just ordered a ER2 off ebay.

[crazedloon]

I am interested in doing this, last PoP competition I attempted to join got interrupted by a major move on my part and I am looking for a silly project to spend time on.

Have we decided the full rules?

[COB]

The ER2 and the Talon have different internals
ER2 on top, Talon on bottom

[XEMON]

ER2 only or talon/er4/other er ok?
I have a talon, but never actually owned an ER2 😅

[JeeperCreeper]

I have a poll going to decide the marker

[COB]

Your inventory deficiency can be easily remedied.

[XEMON]

I've came close of getting one on several occasions, but always remembered I had too many projects as it stand 😅

[Myrkul]

I'd be down if it's any marker under $100, so long as I could spent a bit on parts. I think $150 total parts and gun I could make a really mean shooter.

[Ratzo]

I have access to a bunch of JT Raiders, BT Slices and 98 Custums.
Probably enough for 3 different build off contests.
I'll have to take stock of what is available for future build offs.

[JeeperCreeper]

So, it seems we are going with "Any marker under $100 value." I'll be writing up all the details for the contest soon. I will still be implementing the additional $100 spending limit for parts and supplies that is seperate from the cost of the marker itself.

Your $100 value marker can be something you already own. As long as its worth $100 or less.

Consider this the start of the 2 week warning before the contest starts. Start gathering your marker, tools, and parts now.

More updates to come, stay tuned.

[markdem]

Good. I initially voted STBB but "any marker" opens up the possibilities for people that dont have a hoard of STBBs lying around.

Still on the fence if im gonna actually build anything

[Chuck E Ducky]

Sweet I picked up a Coach gun from COB hoping I could use that anyway. I been wanting to mod one ever since Santa pump night and seeing Capital Dave’s wild contraption. I been wanting to build one. I got to see if I got enough scrap brass around to make some freak barrels. Or are we just doing a Gentleman's build off style keep it simple and function, form ,budget, category we can vote for a winner. I’m assuming HPA or Co2 powered ids fair game.

[JeeperCreeper]

As far as function, its all fair game, as long as it can break paint on a mask at 20ft. Hpa, CO2, rubber bands, whatever. As long as it could potentially shoot someone out in a game. I think just one category just to keep it simple. My goal is for people to have fun and be creative.
