I'm just an old broken down Paratrooper who started playin in 1988. My wife thought I needed something to occupy my weekends off. Paintball is all her fault. She's the one who got me started in it and she was the one who drug me out to the field most weekends. On occasions she was my playing partner. I love this sport, tryed to get out many times and just can't leave. Maybe it's the rush of adrenaline or the thrill of shooting someone leagal. Maybe it's just knowing I have something to tinker with in my basement. I have been lucky to have designed a few parts for the Rainmaker and a few mods of my own that I have released on this site. I've been really lucky to be playing as long as I have. I don't believe in hype and I don't believe in over priced markers. I believe in making my own home brewed markers from parts available on the open net. One thing I can't stand is a stupid person who believes what some guy who can't even fix a Spyder tells him is right and wrong for his marker. I don't have much faith in "AIRTECHS" and I don't have faith in companies that won't take a player or shuns players from learning about their markers. Every company should offer a tech class for their markers to any marker owner. Other wise you get some guy like me who will buy it very cheap and see what the "BIG DEAL" is about your marker. Sometimes I make my own manuals for specific items not in trouble shooting manual.
