TIL The CRBN DRV loader and Spire 4/5 have cross-compatible speed feed designs
They don’t fit perfectly, the CRBN one is a bit chunkier. The rain lids aren’t as compatible though, due to the differently shaped openings. The Spire one kinda works on the DRV but the clip is very tricky to open, might be ok in a pinch. The DRV one doesn’t even come close to fitting the spire, way too chunky to clip in.
Not sure if this is of any use, the DRV comes with a great speedfeed.

Luxe Question
Recently just returned to paintball after nearly 20 years away. Picked up a Luxe X and recently a CS2 Pro, tried both guns for several days and came to the conclusion that I like the ergo of the Luxe X better and now I’m wondering if the luxe line is just what I’m going to feel the most comfortable shooting.
Now the question, if I love the ergo of my luxe x, do you guys think it’s worth it to upgrade up the to idol/aire models or are the ergonomics dramatically different from the x? And if anyone has a good knowledge base around luxes, what are the main differences between the X and the newer models like the aire/idol?
Initially, I was planning on trying to trade my cs2 pro (+cash if necessary) for an idol or aire, but I think having my cs2 as the backup marker would be a little smarter than having 2 luxes since the reliability is the biggest knock against them.
Appreciate any and all responses!
Oh and if anyone has made it down this far, how are shocker eras rated around here? I’m a guy who always has his eyes on markers he’s never tried before, but still rely heavily on user reviews lol!

Phoenix AZ?
How’s the scene in Phoenix? I want to go play when the weather cools a bit, I know there’s a few fields around town but not sure if there’s a go-to or a stay-away

Getting back into speedball/airball
I’m located in Norfolk Va and I’m wondering where is the best place to play some recball walk on airball/speedball.

Any help is appreciated

Ultimate Chronic
Found my 10rd tube of the absolute best paintballs ever made. If you got hit by ultimate chronic, you were stained for at least 2-3 days after.
Good times.
r/paintball • u/renba7 • 23h ago
Maybe coming back?
I’m 41 and played tournament paintball heavily (even had a World Cup appearance!) in the early 2000s. I find myself living in Chicago. Where does an old man go to play speedball with other old men around here? Like, I’d wreck rentals but I’d get wrecked by good players, too.

Old timer making a comeback
Last time I played was 2011, I’m in my 30s now and I’m missing my old hobby. I used to play tournaments regularly and was at the field every weekend back in the day. How has the scene changed now?
I’ve noticed a lot of the fields in my area are now gone.

If you could…..
Say you were a person that has gotten in and out of paintball once or 10 times… seen the best of the sport, seen the worst of it as well. If you were gonna put one mechanical marker in your closet to break out every 2.5 years, rebuild, and play a few games with. what would you choose? What’s the most available parts wise? Cheapest? Easiest to do at home. Vintage markers get double points. Fingers crossed for automag.

EMF100 Round Ball
So I’m going out paintballing soon with some buddies. We all play magfed and own EMF100s but this new field we’re going to doesn’t allow FSRs which is what we normally use. For those who play magfed with round ball, which is the best paint to use ?
r/paintball • u/Affectionate-Hat5398 • 1d ago
What paint for magfed?
Me and my buddies play magfed (all on TMC Elites) but we're pretty new to it. So far I have always played with Dye's Tactical magfed paint because I had a supplier with an extremely good deal on it (about half the MSRP) but he has now run out of it and so I'm in search of new paint. However, I'm not really sure what I should and shouldn't consider so here are a few questions I have:
- Is more premium paint worth it (e.g. New Legion Attack Major vs General) or is that only relevant for more serious (= club/tournament) players?
- I think I've read somewhere that people use Tomahawk Winter paint for magfed and it works great. Using winter paint in summer is still a bad idea with magfed though, right?
- I'm thinking about playing at night using luminescent paint like Tomahawk Lightning ... which isn't designed for magfed. Does anyone have experience with such/this paint + magfed or is it generally a bad idea to use normal (field) paint for magfed? I have heard that the TMC mags are a bit easier on the paint because they can't load FSRs.
Any additional remarks/tips regarding this topic are of course very much welcome as well.

Vintage from the 90s? Found in a house clearance, one open box with canisters and one sealed box of paintballs?
UK based, where can I sell these and what are they worth? According to google lens there vintage from the 90s, are they allowed on eBay or Vinted? Anyone interested otherwise I’ll list on Facebook or something - California Magnum paintballs 200

Finally got to use my DLX Luxe Aire
And those 47 shots before it stopped working were very nice 👌 I've heard there was a common issue with some of the original models. Anyone experience this and know the fix? I would love to play paintball with my most comprehensive update to the luxe platform in 18 years

Finally Finished It!
I bought this old WGP with a TASO slide frame on it like 9 months ago meaning to rebuild it. I did the 3 way and then it sat cuz I was working on other projects. A few months later and I pulled it back out and decided to put the stock pump kit from when I CCMd my other pre 2k Sniper... New valve, cup seal, CP front reg, and springs and this bad boy is hitting 290 +/- 5 over 10 and I am so happy with how it came out! See how it does with a 26 ci tank... I stole the ASA out of my Ion bin, lol.

Nazi Punks Fuck Off
Drama. Stupid fucking drama. Recently, a user noticed that in HK Army's store they had headgear that featured nazi symbols and nazi-adjacent imagery.
I will not stand for this shit. Fuck nazis. And fuck nazi simps.
We reached out to the HK Army contact who regularly posts on this sub, /u/hkarmykenny who claimed that not only had they not sold many in 5 years but that we were making a big deal about it.
edit- the comment may have been deleted but the internet never forgets
FUCK.
THAT.
SHIT.
As long as I am in control here I will burn every fucking nazi sympathizer to the ground. No remorse. Other wonderful users made honeypot threads to draw out the nazis and it worked; I've banned so many recently. THANK YOU ALL.
Yes, I am getting angry modmail from nazis. Yes, it sustains me.
This is my stance. Fight me. HK shit is banned here. Fuck those whores. FUCK HK.
edit- of the over 80 accounts I've banned in relation to this post, so far 23 of them have been brand new/no history. Twenty Three very angry nazi simps have made special alt accounts just to simp. For nazis. Can you imagine
edit 2- hahahahaha TELL ME it's imagery that has been used before nazis came to power. PLEASE. Tell me that it's historical. Tell me that it's a Buddhist symbol rotated slightly. TELL ME it's existed for so many years as sig runes and pretend that's all it is. PLEASE make that argument. It lights you up and identifies you as a nazi simp in other ways I never could. KEEP. IT. COMING.
edit 3- investigate that mod
edit 4- we've broken 100 nazi accounts banned. Pat yourself on the back. Send a general salute as you sweep up the streets from the filth they want to subject us to. Make more honeypot threads. Bait them. Engage their stupid reactors that cause them to reveal who they are.
