The T15

A couple years ago I made a post asking if Mag-fed would catch on, and I mean look at the community we have now, clearly it has.

 We have seen the list of compaines that produce mag-fed markers increase and the styles of markers grow along with it. But with the AR15 body being at the helm of these markers you would think that you couldn't really do to much more with it. Well Tiberius Arms thought otherwise and went and built a 1:1 scale replica of one then and then filled with paintball parts. 

 I don't have exact specs on the maker yet, but I know it is a blow back and is looking like a new design compared to say the internals of a tippmann or spyder, and reportedly achieving 190 shots out of a 13ci tank. That is impressive for any marker.

 Necro of SAS woodsball asked a couple questions on the new marker as well as a quick break down on it, as you can see it's almost identical to the real rifle's construction (amazing,  just amazing)
 Hustle paintball has their hands on a couple too

 The marker will accept all standard M4 hand guards, trigger grips and stocks, and that's to be expected. The 2x 19/20 round magazines will shoot regular paint and first strikes,  and they have finally removed that pesky mag head as well as made the mags virtually the same size as a real AR15 mag. 

Scheduled to release the first week of April at a MSRP of $499.  The bundle will include, 

2 Piece Cast Aluminum Construction

Aluminum Quad Rail Handguard

13ci/3000psi Tank/Stock Combo

Low Profile Flip Up Sights

2 Pin Quick Disassemble

Functional Charging Handle

19/20 Continuous Feed First Strike Magazines

Magazine and Hopper Feed

Includes Two Magazines

Packaged in Durable Side Rifle Case

Companies have already started to take pre orders on the marker as you can see here

Rockstar tactical
Paintball-online
Hustle paintball

 I can't wait to get my hands on this marker and do an un-boxing,  I've been dying for a marker that I can fully magpul

Upcoming products (the prelude)

The year is almost a quarter of the way through, the paintball season is nearing its beginning (for us Canadians anyway), and the paintball extravaganza has just recently ended, unveiling many, many new products from multiple companies.

A decent amount of info on all the new products has already been released, but I think there's more out there,  so. In the following weeks I'll be starting up a bit of a mini series on various products, brands, and markers. Compiling a list of sites/photos and videos of the products, talking about first impressions and thoughts on them.

Starting off the List will be the Tiberius Arms T15.
I'll be scouring the interwebs in search of all the details I can find on this marker.

So anything you'd like to see feel free to send me an email/private message or just a comment somewhere and I will see what I can do for you.

Paintball extravaganza Pt2. The merger of the greats!

Scarab arms/maxtact/milsig.ca/tactmark (I don't even know what to call them anymore) Thankfully they've solved that problem for us by merging under one name, (www.honorcore.com) this is an amazing move and I can't wait to see what else they have up there sleeve. www.honorcore.com, you want anything scarab arms/maxtact that's where you'll be heading from now on.

So far they have really come out of the gate running,  looking at all the stuff that they have out and on the way, it's as if they looked at the mag-fed scene and said "fuck you,  this is how it's done". I  mean starting with their bullpup marker that resembles a Fn2000, they have a G36 mockup (looking forward to a release date on that) the TGR1 or Scar type marker is going into full production in all black, a sniper to compete with the milsig m17 sniper  and what appears to be a compact SMG (the m18) resembling a MP7 almost.

 From what I can tell all the new markers (minus the MP7) all still take the standard 18rd scarab mags.  Where the MP7  looks to take TiPX mags (that will go nicely with the 12rd tru feed mags) but they all look gorgeous! I don't even know what I want anymore. 

 Next up we have a marker (or add on to the tgr series) that actually will fire glowing paintballs or tracers! Inside the chamber you can see that it actually will glow to illuminate the balls allowing you to see them as you're shooting them,  Giving you tracers for night games! No more having to guess where you're shooting or what you're hitting. I'm curious to see if this is only for regular paint or will someone *cough tiberius cough* make done kind of first strike or shape round for this. 

 Finally (for now at least) there are some pictures of a blu tooth throat mic, they look incredible, I am looking for more info on this but I would assume they'll have Kingman pins, and a decent battery life,  probably way longer than any radio will last.  Either way that is a must for any tactical player.

That's all I've seen so far from them (so far),  but they are definitely #1 in the mag-fed/milsim race, finally a company to produce markers other than a Ar15 variant! And multiple new toys that I can't wait to get my hands on! 

This year truly is the year for mag-fed! I can't wait to see what else is to be unveiled.

Flasc Paintball O-Ring rebuild kit

I picked up an O-Ring kit from Flasc Paintball and man what a deal!

 The kit will fully rebuild your marker a set number of times based on what you purchased, I have the x3 kit which retails for 10.99 (It can be found here), which comes with approximately 50 O-Rings. (some of which I'm still trying to figure out what they're for) and it comes in a nifty little case to hold all your rings in too! No more of those plastic bags that don't seal causing you to loose the easily.

 A parts list is as follows

• x3 Hammer rings
• x3 valve assemble rings
• x3 bolt rings
• x12 banjo fitting rings
• x3 safety button rings (3 red and 3 black)
• x6 buffer rings (the ones that go behind the hammer)
• x3 Large black rings
• x3 medium brown rings

I like how the kit includes the safety rings as some of us A5 users still have the original versions of the marker and although I doubt Ill ever use them but its a nice touch.

 An installation guide can be found on the site if you are unsure as to where the o rings go Installation guide
personally I'm very happy with my kit but I think a little sheet of paper inside the kit or even a guide printed on the inside of the lid with a diagram of what each of the rings are for would be a nice added touch especially for newer players or first timers who aren't exactly sure where each one goes.

 All in all its an absolute fantastic kit and for the price of three rebuilds you can not go wrong with this kit, And after all of the rings are used up you have a nice case to put either more rings in, discard or if youd like store spare parts in a great touch to an already great kit,  I highly highly recommend it!
