As soon as I get the pics taken, I'll PM the pics that I can't post here to those who want them.
It's essentially a Xkilt with large cargo pockets that are lined with velcro loop so you can attach "holsters" for such things as flashlights, leathermans, knives, extras you may need, etc. The loop alows you to customize the configuration to the users demands.

I have a Spyder Sonix mechanical. This one has pretty much been relegated to spare duties or one of the kids uses it. It's got no forward grip, which throws me off. lol When I bought it, I got a deal for it: 2 cases of paint, 4 pods, a pack, a 9oz. CO2 tank, the marker, and 4 weekends free play... all for $150.

I've also got a Spyder Compact mechanical. This one I've modded a bit: high flow valve, expansion chamber, soft shot hammer, and a little tighter trigger. Up until I bought Marker #4, this was my main marker. I also originally bought my 32 Degrees Whisper barrel for this marker.

Marker #3 was some Spyder clone electro. Played a whopping 2 times with this thing before I realized it was a total air hog. It also chopped like you wouldn't believe. I don't have it anymore.

Marker #4 is a Spyder Imagine E99. Another elctro. This thing came equipped with an expansion chamber, soft shot hammer, and a high flow valve. It also came with a very nice drop forward. I never knew what I was missing until I got that! It's a pretty efficient marker, and with the whisper barrel on I get a pretty good range. I go mid field with this one.

I bought a 3000# HPA tank to use with this, but haven't had the chance.

Sad thing is... I haven't even played since I left Hawaii in July '06.
As soon as I replace all my hockey equipment, I want to lay hands on a WGP 'cocker Tactical.

Nice I might have to look into one for woods ball. In speedball I play frontman so I slide around too much to be in a kilt.

on and as long as we showing off markers he is my main one I also have an automag, 4 spyder clones, an "timmy" thats tore down that I'm working on.

Blazn,
you're a Spyder man! A kiltie after my own heart!
My first real marker is a Spyder Xtra......not fancy....but when I see all of the trouble other ballers have with their fancy elctros....then I look at my mechanical with it's surprisingly tight groupings...well, lets just say that Spyder will always have a place in my heart.

I just got an Tippmann A5 with egrip for xmas. I plan to pimp it a bit as I can afford to.

back to kilts, I just played airsoft for the first time last night, I wonder how that would work in a kilt?? I can't really picture a kilted SWAT team, but it might look kinda cool.

Very nice piece. I see that you guys call them markers. Is calling them paintball "guns" foopah?

cloves · #16 01-10-2008, 03:42 PM

uhm..well most woodsballers still call them guns, but speedballers tend to call them markers. Since the discussion of guns around here tends to cause more problems then the thread's worth, it just seemed a no brainer to use the term "marker" here on the board.

I hope this helps. When I have need to sew on Cordura I perfer to use a glovers needle-found in most leather shops. The point is triangle in shape and sharp. The sharp edges slices through the materal and then the fabric closes on the thread whereas a regular needle leaves a hole in the materal the same size as the needle shaft.
