FallWe’ve spent the summer adjusting and readjusting our paintball markers, buying new ones, adding mods and so forth, so we can more accurately paint each other. Now it’s time to pack things away and wait for spring (perhaps have a winter game in there somewhere).

As my equipment lies dormant I start to wonder what I need to keep, what I can sell (ebay) and what I want to get for next year that I can purchase during the winter.

I started the year off with my Tippmann 98 Custom, which I customized more this year with items like a cyclone feed and stock. I also purchased two Diablo Reincarnations, of which one hasn’t worked correctly so I figure now is the time to send it in for repairs. The same marker woks best off of HPA, as it freezes during auto-fire when running CO2, so I guess I can add an HPA tank to the wishlist.

The Tippmanns are so easily modified that a lot of money can be poured into them to make them look and work however you want them to. At this point I am getting rid of my Flatline in favor of a different, more accurate barrel. The big question is do I spend a little extra for looks? I am also looking for an expansion chamber and response trigger for it (among other things).

So as the weather gets colder my wishlist is growing. I guess it doesn’t help to have more time on my hands to shop online for stuff. At the same time I can read reviews and get an idea of what works and what doesn’t.

It’s going to be a long winter….
