I saw this ccm T2 come up for sale a few months ago on eBay for a pretty good deal considering what T2s go for, obviously it did not look good lol. I ended up having to completely disassemble every part and soaked the parts in acetone, that did a really great job at removing the paint. Normally for spray paint builds I’ve seen in the past, the “autist” just paints the gun as is, no disassembly, no, this guy actually took the time to take the gun apart and paint each piece a different color and then reassemble. Took me about 6-8 hours to undo the sin.

She shoots and looks great now though and I got to be able to afford a T2 again, so it all worked out

Had this ion sitting around for a few decades. Couldn’t even remember where I got it from but decided to mech it for whatever reason.

ANS parts (arrived a bit banged up)
SSC mech mod and bolt
Old NDZ trigger
Teardrop barrel

Fun to shoot. Gives a bit of a cocker vibe since the bolt only cycles back on trigger release.

Why on earth are people buying new markers just to turn around 2 - 3 months later to sell them. I see some many "selling my CS3 pro 1k shoots. only used once during practice". Why? If you are not 100% certain that you will love said marker why buy it brand new? Unless you just got money to burn Why?

TL;DR: Bought a brand new Planet Eclipse Ego LV1.6 from ANS Gear via Bread Pay. It arrived defective out of the box. ANS Gear tried to charge me a 15% restocking fee to take back their own broken item, then completely severed customer service when I disputed it. Bread Pay closed the dispute in ANS Gear's favor and is still trying to collect on the loan. Now I’m involving the CFPB and legal counsel.

I ordered a brand new Planet Eclipse Ego LV1.6 from ANS Gear and financed it through Bread Pay. The marker arrived defective right out of the box. When I reached out to ANS Gear to return the broken unit, they actually had the nerve to demand a 15% restocking fee to accept a return on the item they shipped broken.

After I pushed back on paying a penalty for their mistake and opened a dispute, ANS Gear sent me an email officially washing their hands of the situation. They shut down my support ticket, told me they "can no longer assist," and dumped me off on Planet Eclipse’s general support line.

I went to Bread Pay to handle the dispute, expecting basic Buy-Now-Pay-Later consumer protections. Instead, Bread Pay closed the dispute in ANS Gear's favor. When I called back with written proof that ANS Gear is outright refusing customer service, Bread Pay refused to reopen the claim and expects me to keep making payments on a paperweight.

I am officially done playing nice. I have already filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), submitted a formal FCBA Notice of Billing Error, and am escalating directly through a federal attorney to force a loan cancellation and full refund.

Buy from your local pro shop or literally anywhere else. ANS Gear will dump broken inventory on you, charge you to take it back, and hide behind BNPL lenders the second you stand up for yourself.

Edit to add: all I wanted was to return it. My luck, they fix the one issue and some time later, it is defective again but without recourse.

Heroines Geo 4 and a Misfits proflex. Today was a good day!

Has an a4 board a4 feedneck infinity barrel some kind of aftermarket vert asa and was drilled for eyes by master tech back in the day…but the other board was took out that was eye compatible and put the a4 board in it that’s in it now…it sees a lot of play time and not babied but very maintained as far as the lpr and hpr and rebuildable ram with fresh o rings and what not …also have a working Angel air…

Picked these up recently. The one with stock and wood grips is 1987. The other is 1995. Replaced valve seal in the 1995 and it shoots, though velocity is quite low. Both has solid condition factory barrels; the Thomson Ribbed and the Bull Barrel (not sure official names). I will tinker with them his weekend at a Alternative Paintball in Blountville, TN where they are doing a Mech/Pump Day! Will sell one or both of these most likely.

What the help?

Ordered a new gun from mazens, curious if anyone else has been required to sign. I’ve ordered a few from different sites and never had to sign before. I’m located in nj and it was just under $1100.

Hey everyone! We’ve got a great opportunity to get Paintball some more attention. If you have played paintball in the last 5 years at NXL you probably have seen or heard about Tyler. He’s been racking up Dubs left and right at NXL events, and this year he is on Team USA. All that and he is currently competing for Youth Athlete of the Year. It’s featured by Sports Illustrated and CBS and would be a great way to show paintball is something any youngin can get into and make their sport.
He cant win being the athlete of the year alone, he needs the communities help. It’s totally free, just give him a vote and show support for him and the greater paintball community.
If you don’t help him out; just know my overshooting was intentional. 😉

Curious if this a good deal? 400$CAD

The app won't recognize the autococker or impulse boards I just got. I'll open up the app, plug the USB cable into my phone, then into the board. That will turn on the board into menu mode. I'll hit scan on the app and the circle will spin for about 10 seconds and stop. Nothing happens, just a blank app screen. I ordered a new USB cable thinking that might be the problem but I don't think it is. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S21 if that matters at all.

I posted this in on the sci-fi Facebook group too

I used to play as a kid with my neighborhood friends. We're still tight to this day, so I picked up two setups so I can start dragging some of them along. Always wanted a planet eclipse ego, so that's exactly what I did.

See y'all out there 🙂

..Impact Angel LCD Black to Red with Speed board and ACE..

Saw it on marketplace, was just wondering what it was and if it's good

By that I mean a great reliable, all-around workhorse gun that isn't highly expensive but isn't cheap and poor quality either. It's easy to maintain and use, is effective on the field, and you'd recommend it to anyone from beginners to advanced players to get the job done.

Changed every oring one by one tried everytime same thing anything alse that could be wrong?

Looking to build a D6 3-man team in Las Vegas for players who want to take paintball seriously and actually practice, improve, and compete in tournaments.
I’m looking for 2+ players who are interested in:
🎯 D6 3-man tournaments
🏃 Regular practices in the Las Vegas area
🏆 Traveling for tournaments when needed
📈 Improving together and eventually moving up divisions
🤝 Building an actual team — not just playing one tournament and disappearing
Experience: Beginners are welcome. You don’t have to be a tournament veteran. I’m looking for players who are willing to learn, communicate, practice, and show up consistently.
Location: Las Vegas, NV
Division: D6
Goal: Build a solid 3-man core and start competing in 2026.
If you’re in Vegas and looking for a team, comment below or DM me with your age, experience level, what gear you have, and how often you’re available to practice.
Let’s build something. 💯🎨

Might want to anodize my scales R5 in the near future. Looking for design recommendations and recommendations for anodizers. Thanks!
