I've seen this term thrown around, but can't find any info on it online. I know the black and white is a small hopper/12 gs or stick/small tank and I'm guessing it basically was just renamed overtime into Modified Stock, but was curious if anyone that played during the time care to expand upon it's history.

Short lived.... basically it was 12 gram guns and stick feeds/hoppers..it was the pro level of the 80's
It later morphed into tanks are cool but you have to use stick feeds.

Technically, it was Direct Feed, 12-Gram powered. Hoppers/Stick feeds. In the early days, there were NSG Tournaments, rules based around their gun, the 007/Splatmaster. When PMI entered the game they had their own set of tournament rules. The PMI guns (PMI-1. PMI-2) have 10.25 inch barrels to satisfy the NSG rule of barrel extension length. Coincidentally, NSG rules prohibited wood stocks, so no K-Series allowed.
Rules were added as technology increased performance. No check valves was added to the rules when the lever quick changers came along,Comment

Modified Stock isn’t really a term but it’s used to describe stick feed pumps running HPA. It really is just a limited paint format of open class pump. It’s a blast to play to especially when it gets to cold for 12g play.
Lots of terms have been used for various styles of play. First time I have heard Comp Class tho. That’s a new one for me.Comment

Hmm, well it might not be an official term, but it is used commonly to describe combinations of air setups and feeds, basically just a bridge between stock and open. It's what led me to find this little known class, I was thinking about running my sniper with a small hopper and 12 grams and found an old comment on here about the Paladin and what class it belonged to:

From what I understand NSG not allowing wood stocks was specifically because of the k series. Apparently they would shoot hot out of the box. That is the reason Glen Palmer's Camille had a metal stock. Pretty dumb, because I'd imagine they still had chrono rules as well.Originally posted by THE SHOOTIST View Post

Chronoing in the early days was hit and miss. Many fields tried to leverage firearms chronos without correct lighting were very finicky. Went to several field and local tournaments in the late 80s where people were still using the "tree bark" method of chronoing of markers. Optical chronoys were what we had available for paintball and not everyone invested in them and they really were finicky about light so could be very inconsistent. When radar (Big Red) chronographs came out it was a god send.

Most didn’t have chronograph rules really until NJ challenged Paintball and outlawed it. Bud Orr went to court created the 300fps rule as a standard using math on the way to court in the car. Orr and company ended up wining the day in court, and setting a new standard in paintball we still use today.
From my understanding they used the amount of kinetic energy it takes to break a collarbone and worked backwards.Comment
