Bob Long Pillow Bolt

Filed under: Allgemein — Florian @ 07:42

Es gibt einen neuen Bolt von Bob Long für sein neues Baby die Marq. Der neue Pillow Bolt hat eine weiche Spitze und soll weniger Ballbreaks bei brüchiger Paint verursachen. Gerade wie der weiche Einsatz befestigt ist macht den Bob Long stolz.

Für 21.99$ gibt es das ganze hier.

Bob Long Prdukttext:

In the past these pillow style bolts proved to be very effective with brittle paint but had one problem, the foamy part would not stay attached to the bolt. Well, we fixed that problem and have created one of the best pillow bolts ever designed.

Our design is molded around a threaded shaft that is then screwed into the bolt eliminating the fly off problem that other designs encountered.

This is a must have part that will help reduce paint breakage.

Another Bob Long Innovation!!

PSP ausgewählte Events auf Turf

Filed under: Allgemein — Florian @ 07:18

Die PSP wird damit Ihren ersten Event, die LA Open, im Jahr 2007 auf dem Parkplatz des Home Depot Centers in Carson, LA austragen. Damit reagiert die PSP auf die doch immer besser werdenden Locations der NPPL.

Den gesamten Pressetext von Keely Watson findet Ihr hier:

Paintball Sports Promotions is proud to announce the introduction of turf to the most prominent paintball series in the world. The turf will debut on all six fields at the LA Open to be held at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA March 1st-4th.

While the PSP has secured the use of the turf at events during the 2007 season, the Mid-Atlantic Open, the Chicago Open, and the World Cup will continue to be played on grass. Our fourth event of the season to take place August 2nd-5th may use the turf depending on location. We are excited about this great new product and the options that it will open up to the league in terms of venue selection.

Over the past season, we have recognized the opportunities turf creates for selecting venues and at times had venues slip by due to a lack of turf. We chose to continue hosting events on grass through 2006 instead of purchasing the lesser grade turf which we could have afforded at the time. We appreciate the strain of the sport on our athletes. We understand the arduous physical requirements of truly intense competition. We wanted to provide a quality turf that would meet the rigorous demands of the Xball format; a turf that is truly worthy of the sport.

The new bladed turf has been designed specifically to meet those needs. It has been tried and tested numerous times over by experienced paintball players that understand the importance of a field’s playing surface. It has been designed specifically for the athlete, for the sport, for you.

Destructive Customs RF Drop In Harness

Filed under: Allgemein — Florian @ 09:50

Das 23$ teure upgrade von Destructive Customs wurde nun von 68Caliber.com unter die Lupe genommen.

Destructive Customs has carved out a niche for themselves in custom milling and repair work on markers like the AKA Viking and Excalibur as well as the Mac Dev Cyborg.  The operation is a small one, and both owners have full time jobs in addition to their paintball lives and business.
With the introduction of the Draxxus Pulse loader at the 2006 World Cup, Destructive Customs saw an opportunity to carve our yet another niche in the paintball market.  One of the key features on the Pulse is the RF mode, which utilizes a small radio frequency module to working in parallel to the marker's solenoid to actuate the loader every time the marker's solenoid fires, which has the effect similar to WDP's intellifeed, which did the same thing using a cable.

One of the difficulties that a player will encounter if he decides to install a RF module into his marker is the need to solder the wire leads from the module to the marker's solenoid.   Assuming the owner has the necessary skills and equipment to do it, it's fairly quick and easy to solder the leads to the solenoid.  There's also the option of sending your marker and the RF Module to an authorized installation center, but some don't like the idea of their baby being subjected to the gentle ministrations of shipping companies. 
So what if you're not interested in sending off your marker to some faraway land or what if you re squeamish about sticking a red hot soldering iron into your marker's guts?  Destructive Customs comes to the rescue with their RF Drop In Harness, which is a simple wiring harness that connects your marker's board to the module and allows the module to work just as if it were soldered directly to the solenoid.  The harness itself consists of nothing more than some wires connected with small Molex connectors to connect into the board and the RF Module.  Installation into the Review Mule Ego took around 10 minutes, with more time spent making sure the various wires were routed to keep them out of the way of the moving parts in the grip frame.

The harness installed into the review mule
On the field, both the RF Module and the DC harness worked flawlessly, and during the course of the day around 2 cases of paint were fed through the marker without a hitch, and myself and the review crew members using the marker liked the extra bit of control that the RF mode gives you over paint being fed into your marker.
The $23 MSRP sounds overly high for a few pieces of wire and a couple of connectors, but the tooling necessary to crimp the wires into the connectors is extremely expensive, and the price does include shipping.  The RF Drop In Harness is available for the Pre-Angel 1 Angels, the Ego, DM/PM series markers, and several other makes and models currently available on the market.  For more information, check out www.destructivecustoms.com
