Crossover

Flip-Top Rental

New Goggles

So a hybridized entry level marker, an uzi-styled rental, and new goggles. Not too shabby, but hopefully not all that Tippmann has in store for us this year.

Scuttlebut

2012-02-26T02:47:00.000-05:00

Word on the street is a paintball manufacTurer has been working on a marker that uses removable feeding cartridges for quite some time, and that the release date is soon.

D-Mag Disappointment

2012-02-26T00:42:00.003-05:00

There's been speculation as to how exactly RAP4 managed to make such inexpensive magazines as the D-Mags, but now that all has been revealed it makes total sense. The magazines are configured around two individual feed stacks, and you have to flip the magazine horizontally after you expend one stack. I was really hoping the D-Mags would be a viable alternative to other magazines but I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in how they turned out. What are your thoughts?

Milsig continues to roll out new product teasers, check out the newest release, the FXR (force multiplier) P2C (pistol to carbine):

These kits, beyond obviously allowing you to use a TPX or T8 as a carbine, also apparently allow you to use an air-thru or 13ci tank option with the marker. This is cool stuff.

Hot on the heals of the first pictures of the M-SERIES MKII PARADIGM, Milsig has unveiled another new marker, the M17.

Here's what I can tell you:

Both markers will be FS capable.
Standard Milsig mags will work with both markers.
These are new markers, not drop-in kits or anything else of the sort.

Look forward to more details come time of Paintball Extravaganza.

New Cam from Greg Hastings

2012-02-23T15:31:00.001-05:00

Greg Hastings, who sometimes seems like he has his hands in everything paintball related, continues to expand his personal brand with the introduction of a new paintball video camera.

He states on Facebook that it's the size of an index finger. If it can pull off decent 1080p at that size, I'm sure it will be very popular with paintball players. No word yet on different mounts, but it also includes a patented "R7 paintball mount", whatever that is.

2012-02-15T19:47:00.001-05:00

In an ad criticizing Mitt Romney for his alleged metaphorical mud-slinging, Rick Santorum has published a video wherein a Romney look-alike fires real mud using a Tippmann X7 Phenom with AK-47 accessories.

ADS Unveils Somewhat Familiar Camouflage

2012-02-14T19:29:00.000-05:00

ADS, as partnered with Guy Cramer, has recently unveiled their new camouflage that has been entered into the camouflage improvement effort put forward by the US Army. You can read an article about it on Soldier Systems here.

Hey, remember how Guy Cramer was suing DCS, saying that A-TACS FG was essentially a duplicate of his patterns? Remember how everyone scratched their heads and wondered where exactly the similarity was?

Guile's Theme Contest

2012-02-14T16:42:00.002-05:00

Many of you may be familiar with the meme "Guile's Theme Goes With Everything", which is pretty self explanatory if you're not familiar with it. It's about time people started putting Guile's theme to paintball videos, so here's my challenge for you:

Using a paintball video you already have (the easiest way) or a new video (both must be your own video content), change the audio to Guile's theme (I won't post a file for download, but check out this link), upload your video to Youtube, and link to your new video in the comments section. Whatever video that gets enough likes in the comment section will win! Winning this time just gets you bragging rights (hey, I can't give away stuff all the time!), and some Grey Ops publicity for your awesome video. Have at it.

Strikemark Picatinny Camera Mounts

2012-02-14T13:59:00.000-05:00

A frustration of those with GoPro and Contour cameras is that they have a hard time finding mounts for firearms/airsoft guns/paintball markers. Strikemark apparently offers a great range of mounts for picatinny-equipped platforms. They even offer a Glock GoPro mount, kind of funny as the GoPro is nearly as big as the Glock itself.

CQB Tactical Paintball Under New Ownership

2012-02-13T18:17:00.002-05:00

The following is a press release from CQB's Facebook page:

Hi all, This is an OFFICIAL CQB TACTICAL PAINTBALL ANNOUNCEMENT. Likely not news for all, but for those of you that have not yet heard, CQB is under new ownership! The former owner has stepped aside, making way for a previous business associate, Vivian Pilar, a long standing friend to the facility since its inception, to take over directorship of the company. Beyond that, nothing has changed! The field, the staff, and the management that you have all come to know remain constant and the business is stronger for it. We at CQB remain as committed as ever, offering a pulse pounding, one of a kind paintball experience, right in the heart of Toronto. Hope to see you all on the field. The Management & Staff. CQB
