Hello world.

Postby ChaoticJJ » Wed Dec 11, 2013 4:19 pm

Hello, my name is Jackson and I live in Otis. I semi-regularly go to Salem to play Warhammer 40k, but I have decided that I wanted to get into another hobby. I have only played Paintball about once or twice and enjoyed it extremely. However the only thing I have are some camouflage clothes and some food, so I guess I have some purchases to make. I hope to see (and battle) some of you in a few months!

Welcome to AP! Good luck with the gear purchases! Remember to proof your posts so grammar nazis don't get you.

Oh, you live in a great spot--especially if you hunt or fish. Does your family happen to own a field or two that flood and you have to shoo the ducks and geese off of? Just checking....

I wish. My family's dream is to buy a big house up in the mountains. We live in manufactured housing on the highway so I guess that's still a dream.

On a side note, it is frowned upon to ask if a gun would be good to buy, but what about if it would be legal? I ask because I found this gun with 410 Fps and it seems perfect for my price range. It would be a bummer to show up to a field a few hours away and being told I couldn't play with a gun I spent a bit of money on.

Often times, guns won't shoot as hot as they're advertised to. To be safe however, there are mods you can do to lower the FPS on your gun to meet field limits such as leaving the spring compressed for a while. This will weaken the spring slightly giving you a lower FPS.

Ahh... Another 40K fan? I am curious as to what faction(s) you play. Perhaps Tau like myself?

This aside, welcome to AP!

I play Chaos Space Marines.

So... How many riptides do you have?

Welcome to AP,
If you need help buying an AEG or wondering what kind you should get, I would check main airsoft retailers web sites most all of them have buying guides. the AP home page has links to most of the big ones.

Yay another 40K fan !!
