Sorry for bad photo

I’m having issues with my shocker Era it won’t cycle I’ve changed O-rings , new battery , cleaned and regreased , I hear the solenoid clicking could it be a faulty board I’ve tried posting a video it won’t let me Update : I posted a YouTube short Reddit wouldn’t let me post the video

Curious to see if there’s a consensus on this.

Please only comment if you’ve shot more than one of these guns. Only focused on recent electric guns. When I say “smoothest” I mean not a ton of kick/clunky-ness when firing multiple shots in a row (let’s use the 10.5 limit for this instance). This could include tuned markers.

Also, is there a good resource to learn more about the different valves?

1. Lv2
2. GEO R5
3. CS3
4. Field one Force (v1 or v2) (is there a big difference between v1 and v2?)
5. Something I didn’t list? (Shocker, macdev, etc)
6. Added DLX (idol or tm40)
7. Added DSR+

Trying to avoid answers like “I’ve only shot my LV2 and it seems smooth to me”

Thanks all!

Anyone know where I can maybe get a replacement? I think it’s toast, since every other O ring seems fine, and the leak seems to be coming from the grip frame/back of the bolt.

Alternatively, is a rebuild possible? I know the company is dead and gone, and I can’t find much online. One website has them listed but they’re not purchasable.

Any real noticeable difference between the two?

So as the title suggests, this is my first tournament or anything of the sort ever. I've played with friends at a paintball park for fun a handful of times so I've played before, but that's it. Nothing competitive. A friend of mine (who I actually introduced to paintball when I asked her to come play with my friends and I and she got hooked lol) asked me to play a women's 3v3 tournament tomorrow with her. She has all the gear for me to borrow so I'm good on that sense but I'm real nervous. No way to remember any call outs since it was last minute and just super nervous of what to do, if I'll look dumb or like a noob lol and what strategies to follow for being a beginner. I know I won't be the only "new" play so that's better but still freaking out.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated cause I'm super nervous lol

Alumni division is open to current students and former ncpa players!

Haven't played in quite some time, pulled out the entire collection to see which work and which need some TLC. Hoping to get them all working. Axe, DM6 and Bushwacker Ego are definitely my favorites of the bunch.

Here's my family of Flex. Not pictured is my Eflex which is what I actually play in lol.

Have a situation where my buddy waited too long to book ION this year to get on the allies with us.

We have two spots for Allies and one for Germans. We'd be willing to trade either way. Let me know!

Edit: obviously meant 2025, lol

I know people say the HK GoPro mount can get bouncy and I have chatted with Matt the gym rat and he said he zip ties the camera he has to the top of the mask. Anyone else have a good mask camera setup?

Are there any decent markers for 150 or close to that? LET ME ADD IT WILL BE MY FIRST so I don’t need anything insane

So I have seen a bunch of Cs3 come across different groups for a reasonable price.

Is everyone going to the R5?

What is the best tournament marker?

Tired of the same style scenario game? Tired of just flags and push sticks? Then this game is for you!

Mold injection instead of dye. It’s a pre-sale instead of a drop. Interested what the away variant looks like.

Hello first time posting here.

I’ve always wanted to try out paintballs but I’m just by myself. I’m curious if any of you know about any clubs or meetups for paintball shooting in Los Angeles area?

I’ve been into paintball since I was 13 and I am now 37. Since college I haven’t played much except for a stint in d4/d3 in 2013-2015. But - I’ve always kept up with the sport.

Decided to get a new marker so that I’ve got some motivation to go play. Replacing a luxe 2.0 that never worked reliably.

Question - this is my first brand new marker I think ever. What do I need to do to the 180r out of the box before I start shooting people in the face?
