    Paintball Gun Identification Poster

    Does anyone have or remember a poster put out by Spec Ops paintball in 2006 or so with nearly 100 paintball guns on it? It had a white background and color pictures of nearly 100 guns from the history of the sport. I had two of them but gave them both away, so if anyone has one I would absolutely love to see a picture of that print again.

        Quick Overview Special Ops spent our first few years amassing one of the largest collections (over 500) of paintball markers in the world.

        Product Description
        Find your favorite gun as well as others you didn't even know existed. The huge, first edition poster features over 120 markers, and is 40 inches wide and 28 inches in height. Each photo is over 3 inches long and includes details about the marker. Frame it and hang it! It makes for a killer conversation piece in the front room.

            Man, I wish I had kept one of these.
            Some of the selections are questionable and the arrangement makes zero sense (not chronological?!) but man what a great idea. Someone ought to get ahold of whoever put these out and see if they still have the source image and would be willing to put out another run.

            ...if not, this would be a great project for someone like Bacci to do.

                Uh... I have a terrible memory, dude. I don't think you did. You might have given it to my local field owner at the time, Mike Spivey, whom I had given some of Doc's X-ray posters that he had up in the field house.

                The timeline line art at the bottom makes it hilariously bad formatting. And Bacci is exactly the guy to take point on this project. I wonder how long the poster will need to be...haha

                  Oh I remember Mike, but I remember giving one poster to you and the other to Jared, who ran Insane Paintball on the condition that he display it at the field. The poster was damaged in a flood a few months later and thrown out.

                    Sorry, dude. I certainly don't have it now. I wouldn't have trashed it. The only thing I think I'd have done with it is give it to Mike. He liked hanging up posters. I lost touch with him over the years, unfortunately.

                      I have one. It's cool, but I'd do it differently if I could (and might be able to eventually!). The nelspot has a direct feed mod, there's way too many nelson clones, too many unimportant (and often duplicated) milsim guns and not enough important speedball guns.

                        It's cool if you did; it wasn't my poster!
                        i just wanted to see what it looked like again and you had the right link!

                          Think you could get a high-res image of it so someone can print their own, or at least crop out the marker images to work on creating a better version?

                            I can try but I don't think I have the equipment to get a good pic of it. I'll see what I can do this weekend.

                                That brings back some memories: a couple of my cousins had that piece of shit Vulcan. Another cousin and I ended up giving them loaner guns to finish the day. The Vulcans ended up in the trash can.
