I'll bring my catalyst propane tent heater also, in case anyone needs. I'll bring my little single propane burner, but I won't cook anything because it will taste like feet and sox It makes a good warmer for a pop-up. G

Well never mind about the above post. So far the dude has bought a gun and a mask lol. Most likely he will order a tank soon before we play.

good to hear.. I've got a Drop leg holster ( i can't remember which side it's for.. left or right I'll check later) if you wanna use it for the tpx... pretty sure it'll fit it. Tank wise I say get a Ninja. I won't touch a crossfire anymore.

Yeah, don't I know. I sent my Crossfire 68/4500 back to Kalamazoo for hydro and a reg rebuild. I needed the rebuild because my low pressure cap kept blowing. Next game, after the rebuild, my LP cap blows again. Now, I'm at BattleZone and I need air, so they put a high pressure cap on the LP side, assuming that it's just a little overpressurized. I use the thing all day without problems on my Tippmanns, as I have many games since. At night, after a "few" beers ;D, I decide to impulse buy a used electronic marker. I put my tank on the first one, and it blows an O-ring. Ditto the second one. I get my money back and they're left scratching their heads wondering why their markers went bad . Bottom line.........Don't let me put that tank on any marker other than my Tippmanns, stay clear if you think my Tippmanns might explode, and don't EVER buy a Crossfire piece-of-shit tank! G

One thing I forgot, since my buddy is going to be coming we won't be in NC until about 4 in the morning. He is here from Germany for an Army Leaders Course and is on the swing shift of 16-midnight. As soon as he is out of class we will hit the road. He already said he will try to get us a hotel room ect. If not I will just crash in the car. What hotel are you staying at G? So we can try to be at the same area.

We're at the Holiday Inn Express in Hickory. I have a 2-double bed suite that sleeps 4. So far it's just me and Vyo, so you two are welcome to bunk with us if yooz want. I sleep on the floor with my air mattress, so I don't even use a bed. There might be a roll-out bed, also. Then there are the two doubles. I'll be checking in around 2-ish on Friday, and I have it for Saturday, too. As I promised before, I will not hose the room with my A-5 like I accidentally did in Dalton BTW, the cost to you two will be $0, my thanks for your service G

G uhm G-man.. isn't your crossfire's output amped up to around 900 psi for your a-5?.. still those electros shoulda been fine if they had their own regulator (unless they specify a low pressure regulated tank... ) and I bet you blew more than an oring in them.. lol.. probably blew out the solenoids.

Speaking of the tanks putting them on a tppmann is there anything else we are going to need to do. This is. The first Tank I'm going to own that is not co2. I'm running the a5 and my buddy got himself a us army salvo made by tppmann.

Dang! I completely forgot that I had my tank output shimmed up to 900psi. That's the only thing different that I did for use on a Tippmann. On the A-5, I cut a little bit of the spring away. I also ditched the response trigger for an e-trigger and replaced the guts of the cyclone feeder with brass after-market parts. Oh, and I replaced the cyclone air cylinder with a vented one. Then I replaced the e-trigger board with 9-function beast of a mod. Other than that............no modifications Oh, wait, I forgot the valved drop-forward. .....and the flatline. G

Mispeld. Ninja's have fully adjustable regs so you should be good. Though I don't know if that helps to raise the pressure...
I got an e-mail from our "unit commander" for this game. I'm basically telling him that anyone registered with "The Headbangers" or "Team Half~Cocked" is going to be out running and gunning. Don't know if you guys got the same e-mail. As I remember, the game starts at 11am, so if our Czech unit doesn't go on until Noon, we have at least a little free time at the start to just do whatever. If they really need us somewhere, I'll go, but I told everyone to sign up for this unit based on the fact the field owner/producer told me this was the unit for the people that wanted to just go out and play some paintball.

Yep Mispeld, the Ninja tank regs are fully 100% user serviceable which was a major selling point to me.. you can rebuild it yourself.. and with the shims.. you can adjust the output pressure yourself. The come preset for 800 psi. The newer Tippy's are just fine on that. But if you need more umph, the manual will tell you how.. or there are videos on youtube ( www.youtube.com/user/ninja186 ) that will guide you through it. When I bought mine, I coughed up an extra $10 to have them send a full rebuild kit so I'd have the materials with me if I ever needed them. You buddy's Salvo, are damn nice solid little guns. Ain't a thing ya need to do for it right now since it's based on the 98's, but they can take a cyclone feed, egrip/or response kit... I say play with them as is first and get a feel for the gun and THEN get the upgrades based on what you want it to do. I'll probably drag my Alpha Black along too as a backup, it's basically a 98 custom in m16 shells. It's also technically for sale.. but I keep looking at upgrades stuff for it.. so it might turn into a apex2/cyclone fed Mil-sim beast down the road.
