My favorite paintball webpage is still up 20+ years later!
Wild that it’s online but neat to look through. Always like a good super-niche site from the early internet days. All seems dated to very early 2000’s.
Ah this brings me back to the old Spec Ops forums where everyone would argue the validity of paintball "Snipers." This is a super cool find though! I wonder if these guys were still playing when the FSR came around.
Honestly some of those setups really are amazing. Like think about it, that Angel looks like it has a flatlane style device that twists like an Apex barrel, because the barrel isn't in the middle of it, and he didn't want to give up the game and just calls it "accuracy device", and it looks like the tube has tons of holes in it and I presume foam so the barrel is likely very quiet, not to mention that it seems the same person drilled and tapped the solenoid exhaust to hook filters on them to quiet that down too. The description also makes it seem like he made his bolt and drop from scratch.
That sort of, "I don't care if the aftermarket makes it I am gonna customize my setup" is exactly what is missing from guns these days. That and I approve of the weight, guns are too light now, granted I do run my setups like I have fallen to the Chaos god of Shoeboxes and I am out there yelling "Weight for the Weight God!" like a proper 40K cultist so, I am a bit biased.
People are tend to resort to derisive remarks the second the topic of sniping comes up, but honestly crawling around hidden until you are behind or above people is an incredibly fun way to play when there is enough room and time to do so. I personally wouldn't choose a flatline for that sort of thing as it's only real role is to keep people away, and even then without a bunch of them all shooting at once the chance for a break at the edge of range isn't great, but the crawling, hiding part I really like.
I just love how in the pre/early internet days, nothing was hyper-optimized, and individuality came out. Reminds me of how I made a silencer and sling for my BE Talon.
