    My current Emek which I bought as a backup. That and a couple proflexes sitting in their boxes in my office closet.

    Honorable mention goes to the Smart Parts Impulse setup that I bought in 2004. I did play a couple hours with it. Then stored it for 12 years. Then threw it in the garbage.

          I still have a new-in-box eNMEy that I bought on an MCB pre-order in 2012. I recently aired it up for the first time, but it's never been fired. In the meantime, the emek came out and looks like it does the same thing, but better, so I'm thinking I'll just give it to my kid cousin.

          Many small parts & stuff... But the most notable is an old F-4 Illustrator. Bought it just to see what it was all about. Had it for maybe a month & only fondled it a couple times. Didn't even air it up.

          Had a mint original M98 last year with the intent of trying magfed with that clip-on TiPX mag adapter. After pricing stuff out & failing (once again) in a couple attempts at stock class I figured it wasn't for me, so I sold it.

            Lots of soft goods. I have a pair of HK HSTL pants that still have the tags on them (I hate the way they fit), a pair of brand new Dye Bomber pants, a pair of Dye ATC that were never worn. Probably some headbands / headwraps. I don't really have any markers that don't get used at least once in a while.

              I spent several years flipping gear, literally kept me from being homeless a couple of times. I've owned something like 80 guns, I used maybe 20 of them.

                PBMafia joyride harness.

                I've had 3

                Included two in basically new condition with a bunch of gear for almost no money when I did a big purge

                Then I got inspired to get another stock class setup. I couldn't find any used ones so I bought a brand new joyride.

                So now I have had that gun and the joyride harness brand new for a year and a half and haven't used either of them yet. (ive shot the gun in my yard)

                But for me its 3x pbmafia joyride harnesses that never have seen a game yet.

                2006 Lapco Grey Ghost.

                Took it to a scenario game and dialed it in. Played with a semi that weekend.

                Monday there was a WTB ad posted on MCB. Away she went.

                  So far, my Hurricane. I did buy it in pieces and missing a stock, and we've had 3 lockdowns since I bought it, so I guess it's understandable... but I also hate the Lilliputian stocks Sheridan decided to use for the Bluestreak and KP line.

                  And God turned to Gabriel and said: “I shall create a land called Canada of outstanding natural beauty, with majestic mountains soaring with eagles, sparkling lakes abundant with bass and trout, forests full of elk and moose, and rivers stocked with salmon. I shall make the land rich in oil so the inhabitants prosper and call them Canadians, and they shall be praised as the friendliest of all people.”

                  “But Lord,” asked Gabriel, “Is this not too generous to these Canadians?”

                  And God replied, “Just wait and see the neighbors I shall inflict upon them."

                    I bought a like new E-Cocker with a SR frame from Craigslist, traded it for a GMEK on PBN . Only test fired the 'Cocker before shipping to ensure it worked, Bought an OLED board for the GMEK.. Never aired it up. Sold it.

                    In true MCB tradition, I've bought markers and sold them before they arrived to me .
                    Bought parts, assembled a marker from them and sold them without ever airing them up. Easier to do with a Mag as they tend to always work.

                      So many guns. Too many to remember them all I’m sure but a few that come to mind are: Dragun “The One”. Bought it when they first came out & never even aired it up. Adventure Beach Freestyle Pro. I think i bought it fairly cheap & basically flipped it. Python Impulse. Bought from a teammate when he quit playing. He had used it a handful of times but it was in pristine condition & i couldn’t bring myself to risk scratching it. Ha.

                      I've got a huge bin full of plus-size gear (pants, jerseys, pads) that i've bought through the last couple years searching for a comfortable setup for my particular big shape. Landed on some good stuff lately so IDK what will come of all of it, will be a pain in the ass to try and sell.

                        I bet the moment you sell the last piece of gear you'll suddenly drop a shitload of weight.

                      The amount of stuff that I've done this with over the years would cover pages LOL

                      A few things that come to mind.... Sheridan Jackyl, a GZ 1000, RealtorTommy's old Camo VM68, a custom Palmer's super stocker, and an ir3 angel

                        Medadyne Havoc - Bought in 2014 used at UWL event. I saw them used to shoot tee shirts into the crowd and foam footballs at bunkers. Talked the Cincinnati kid down to $350 for it but I never shot it once.

                        By the time I got to Invasion of Normandy in 2015 I traded it for $400 and a Thumper.

                        The Thumper never worked after I.O.N and I sold it for $50. However I can say I’ve owned all Metadyne’s products.
