Help me find a paintball record

[Trbo323]

So, apparently my google-fu is not that strong right now.

Years and years ago, someone set a record for the most amount of paint shot by a single player in one game and I'm trying to track down the post but failing. Here's what I remember of it

1) pretty sure it was originally a post on pbn

2) I know it was talked about on pbf and pretty sure linked to the post on pbn

3) the player that did it in fairly certain did it with a g6r, a 16 inch barrel and 3 chained HPA tanks, 2 on his back, 1 on the marker. He had something like 4 pod packs on him, the photos were ridiculous.

Here's a few other details I seem to recall

The original idea was they were running 3 LP tanks as that's what's suggested for the g6r but they found that the 2 tanks on his back would not transfer the pressure as effectively. So they had to swap those 2 out for SHP tanks in order to push enough pressure through the remote lines to actually fill the tank on the marker once it was low enough

The record was set at a big game, Oklahoma d day or living legends, something like that

I didn't even know that was a thing... but now I'm intrigued, and want to see the pictures.

... And then I want to see him try it again with a VM-68.

Doc.

I dont see that listed as an official record. Most paintballs caught at 240 fps IS a thing though..

Ok, made some progress. Username msonic on pbn was the one that did it, and I managed to find the few photos. Still looking for the number though

Hmmm, seems like MCB needs to own some paintball world records.

That's actually why I was looking this up, I am halfway considering attempting to beat it as I have a lot of the key ingredients already

3 tanks, 2 remote lines, an efficient poppet (vanguard Creed) a good barrel kit, multiple pod packs (might need a vest of sorts though)

I figured as much! I have a bunch of vests and a SHP reg’s air tank if you need to borrow some equipment. I also have a box full of remote lines.

Ok, found more info today, 6000 shots is what msonic has as his number. I'm sure that's not exact as he has said he has done it a few times but that's the number I'm aiming to be above

So the rough math is a little over 40 pods

Also, I went to the Guinness book of records as, if I attempt this I might have it certified, there are shockingly few paintball records. You guys need to pick one and get on it

I'm sure someone here has the most inclusive marker collection or something

>< The 'ball of paint' record....

[martix_agent]

If you want, I can go digging harder for the post where I pulled the 6,000 number from.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Hmm, who is going to do “hit by the most paintballs in one minute” record? See if you can also get the “shot someone a record number of times in one minute”.

Too bad no one was keeping track when paintball eating contests were a thing

I attended the Skirmish World Record game in 2002 and the paintball eating contest came right before the wet-T-Shirt contest that turned into a no clothes contest. There were like 500 children watching and they just didn't care.

Make paintball great again

I'm surprised there's no "highest rate of fire" record. Someone get on that

There used to be fastest gun competitions - who could empty x amount of balls in the shortest amount of time.

It truly was the wild west in those days.

It seems there’s no official record and you should set the first one. I’ve personally shot almost 3 cases in a game and my buddy using an electro (I was using a cocker like an idiot) definitely cleared 4 cases or 8000 balls.

the strategy is if someone is behind concealment like a bush and basically out of range, after 3 or 6 pods they can’t see and are so covered with paint that they call themselves out anyways.

I don’t even like sharing this supreme mindset for big games because it’s so elite but there you go. Find a big game with a castle to defend that let’s you pile up a hoard of full pods and tanks and set your record.

Nah. Unload on the renters.

What was his setup like? What was he using?

I'd be doing this at Oregon supergame, most likely the Saturday final battle so you know, only about 800 players on the other team
