Just using this space to keep track of some of my technical threads so I don’t have to search for them. Kindly just ignore it!

DP Fusion:

Dangerous Power Fusion Diassembly - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/dangerous-power/559351-dangerous-power-fusion-diassembly

My brother-in-law dropped off his DP Fusion for an overhaul. He said it worked great last outing, over a decade ago. This is the last of his paintball markers after so sold his CCMs. So let’s get into it! First, staring with the marker. Nothing fancy, just a black gen 1 DP Fusion.

Empire Trracer Disassembly - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/empire/578464-empire-trracer-disassembly

Been a little bit since I’ve had something interesting to take apart. But recently ended up with a pair Empire Trracers. So let’s get down to business. Bit of an interesting air setup, running the back bottle to and ASA. The braided hose has a bunch of sharp wires pointing out, so it definitely has to go. Be kind find

Empire Mini GS:

Empire Mini GS Teardown - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/empire/519261-empire-mini-gs-teardown

Recently picked up an Empire Mini GS and thought I’d do a quick teardown of it. So we’ll start by removing the rubber front cover. First thing you’ll notice is that the front battery housing has changed significant. It’s no longer metal, and there’s no door on the battery location, instead it is held in place by the rubber

Empire BT TM15: (basically a Mini inside)

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/empire/145704-bt-tm15-teardown

Continuing my trend of taking things apart abs taking picture, here’s the disassembly of a BT TM15, which is a milsim take on the Mini. So taking a small light package and making it huge for some odd reason. Click image for larger version Name: FB19891E-36A3-44E2-BC82-9DB839073FA2.jpeg Views: 0 Size: 79.7 KB ID: 145705

Classic MacDev Cyborg Disassembly - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/macdev/546015-classic-macdev-cyborg-disassembly

Just picked up this pretty minty MacDev Cyborg. I think it’s an ‘04 model. Serial number is 0612. I’ve never touched a MacDev marker before, so jumped at the chance to get it. Local pickup from a guy that hadn’t used it in a long time. Came with original case, which isn’t even dusty. Not used to getting gear in as good of

So I’m going to be taking apart my recently acquire Palmer Hurricane! So enough fanfare, let’s get down to business: Click image for larger version Name: A4F07C8E-1BB7-4DB4-9855

Wrangled a Tiberius T4.1 and take it all apart, but it back together and hopefully will make functional on the process! So let’s start with it all in once piece: The grip frame is attached to the body by two push pins, so easy to remove.

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/tippmann/201076-flood-ravage-model-98-kameleon

Just received a Model 98 Kameleon that spent a few days under water. As you can see, it’s a little muddy, but othwise pretty good condition. As a typical Tippmann I could probably put a few drops of oil in it and air it up without a problem, but I’m going to do a thorough breakdown first. 2E7A4FB6-0C6E-423D-9FA8

Tippmann Factory F/A (lost by US Customs):

Tippmann Factory F/A Rebuild - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/tippmann/319860-tippmann-factory-f-a-rebuild

Picked this up locally with some other treasures. Wasn’t familiar with this model of Tippmann, but it’s pretty wild. Has a hand-wound cyclone, a selector switch and two oil filled cyclinders that affect the firing rate. All in all, it’s a pretty unique model that paved the way for A-5s. C418817C-AA4C-4A39-9968

I am going to be providing an in-depth comparison of the differences between the pre-2011 A-5 to the Selector Switch A-5. Feel free to leave comments, point out omissions, or ask questions. I will be comparing a stock selector switch A-5 with response trigger to a modified pre-2011 A-5 with response trigger. I will point out

Adventures With Tippmann C3! - mcarterbrown.com

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/tippmann/158902-adventures-with-tippmann-c3

Grabbed a little propane tank from a local store and finally got to use the Tippmann C3 I picked up. Felt like being precautious so grabbed a mask and some gloves and screwed on the propane tank. No giant explosion, so that’s good, but everything else sucked. Pump the gun, pull the trigger and nothing. Try again and pop,

https://www.mcarterbrown.com/forum/paintball-news-aa/the-armory/miscellaneous-markers/423037-system-x-nme-teardown-timmy-clone

Taking apart a System X NME. I’ve actually had it apart and replaced the dead oring, but have a slight leak that requires some thread sealant. Going to start off with the grip frame open. Removed the 2 screws in the grips, then the four trigger frame screws to remove the front plate. This also removes the trigger guard:
