We look back at this year and see so many good things that have happened. We have added over 500 members to a fresh new paintball community that has crossed boundries of playing style and forged ahead with a concept that is simple. If you love paintball you are one of us! I have seen veteran players coach 12 year olds on equipment ideas and 14 year olds teach a thing or two to a veteran. I sit back and smile at the interactions and that this site has lived up to the concept. A paintball social network dedicated to profiling players and their teams.
Early on Team Red Dawn led by Red Commander helped shape this site and bring the flavor to add new members. Their belief is that the site has to revolve around the forums. It will take some time, but our forums will become more active as the membership grows.
Many strong individuals joined us like Junky Jay who has been a strong supporter. New teams found us like 5150TacticalPaintall and T.A.G.U.R.I.T. They represented us at D-Day and highlighted the good paintball players can do with their effort at Children's Hospital in Colorado. Team T-pog found us on Facebook and have centralized their team hear on the site soon after. Out west the Az_Browncoats were spreading the word about our site. In the north Team Phalanx from the Chicago area has represented.
Representing us internationally is Team Stalk and Destroy based in Japan and spreading the word about our site and Red Dot Paintball. Individuals and teams from Canada have been regular supporters and lately our local Washington contingent is starting to come alive as we strive to find the answer to bring paintball back to the Tri-Cities area here in our state.
As I am writing I see how we have crossed not only playing style boundries but also geographic boundries. What a difference just 9 months has made. Given we have a great foundation, we believe great things will come in the next 12 months. I belive in setting goals and I hope that we balloon by a 1000 more in 2010.
Make no mistake, each and every member here is as important as the last. I am merely, highlighting some of the things that have brought us to this point. Building on Team Red Dawn's ideas, we have taken the approach that we want this site to be much much more than another forum. There are plenty of those and many of them are very goodl. We want to be differant and we are. We want to give you tools to organize, ways to communicate, a place to have fun and blow off some steam. We are not finished yet, but we certainly feel we have come a long ways with all of your help.
For this we are thankul and PaintballGuns.Me wishes each and everyone a fantastic holiday season and happiness, health and fortune in 2010!
Sincerely and Best Regards,
Tim Osborn
Owner of Red Dot Paintball and PaintballGuns.Me

Battle of the Paintball Guns
It has been an interesting couple of years for Tippmann and BT. Some would say they have been battling to control the woodsball market. For every new marker that each company releases, the other releases their alternative. Tippmann of course, has been dominating the budget woodsball scene with the Alpha Black since 2008 and has now been completely dominating this scene with the release of the Project Salvo. Finally, in response BT is going to release the BT OMEGA with a very affordable price to compete directly with the Alpha Black and Project Salvo. It will be a tough challenge to compete against two very affordable, and reliable markers with just one, but I am interested in seeing how it will do.
The Tippmann TPX has been in the spotlight for most of this year and has set the standard for BT to contend with. Of course BT would not sit by without a fight, their answer to the TPX is the BT SA-17, where in my opinion was a very weak response (in looks), but it does have some extra functions that may test true in time.
Next we have BT's TM7 which has been dominating the woodsball market with it's savy electropneumatic features, and then stack the release of the TM15 on top of that and they had raised the bar. But Tippmann had something up their sleeve for some time now, they seemed to wait just until BT thought they had won and then they shot them down with their new revolutionary X7 Phenom. The Phenom can operate in a way that no other paintball gun can, it can operate electronically with several different firing modes, or if the battery dies, it can still fire in mechanical mode thanks to it's patented Flex Valve. Can the Phenom overcome the TM duo? Only time will tell, but it looks like it has a great chance.
Let's take advantage of this situation as it helps to create affordable prices the more these guys battle it out. Be sure to visit Red Dot Paintball to purchase or pre-order these markers as they become available!

Paintball Rules
Here is a new blog entry by a guest blogger from our PaintballGuns.MEspace. Theprofessionalpro, writes this blog.
"Setting the Standards High
Well, it happened to me. It could happen to you. I'm in a firefight, trying to press through and get an angle for my team, and CRACK! Hit. Out. Why? I followed the rules of engagement. What? That's right. In my firefight an 'out' player walked right into my line of fire. I cannot intentionally shoot at an 'out' player, so I didn't and it cost me an 'out' Why did I let myself get shot out rather than return fire? It's the rules. Integrity is hard to build and easy to break. What's the point of this? Well, that 'out' player was a newbie. It wasn't really his fault, it was ours. No one told him the full rules of engagement. It's easy for us veterans, but we often take for granted the fact that everyone we play with knows the rules and we forget to pass some of them along to the 'new guys', like walking around an engagement if your 'out'. There is a safety issue and a quality of play issue here. We have a responsibility as seasoned players to teach the greenhorns how to play safely and what the rules are.
Some rules we should all know:
1] ALWAYS use a BBD (barrel blocking device) when not on the field
2] ALWAYS keep safety on until you engage
3] NEVER remove your mask on the field
4] NEVER fire in the 'safe zone' or staging area
5] NEVER walk through an engagement if you're out (not a good idea if your 'in' either)
6] ALWAYS be mindful of everyone else's safety and you own
7] ALWAYS chrono your paintball marker to under 300fps, preferably set at 285fps
8] ALWAYS know the bounderies and stay inside them
9] NEVER fire at anyone who has removed or is not wearing a mask
10] NEVER wipe paint on field ( this is CHEATING)"
Feel free to comment or add other rules that players should be aware of. If you liked this post you can see great blog entries at PaintballGuns.MEspace

Tippmann TPX Pistol Holster Recalled
Today we received some very disappointing news about the Tippmann TPX Pistol Holster, they have been recalled. We just received our major order and were ready to ship. Then they called this morning and said do not send them out. The replacement holsters will not be available for 3 more weeks.
The reason they give is that there is some faulty stitching on the holster and they will not stand up to the rigors of paintball over time. They made the tough decision to correct it now. Anyone that has already received one can call Tippmann and make arrangements to receive a replacement from them when the new ones are ready. You will have to ship the old one back.
This entire launch of the Tippmann TPX Pistol has been disappointing. They should have just made enough to send everyones orders on the same day. We much prefer the Tippmann US Army Project Salvo announcement. They announced it and shipped to those that ordered the same day. I am already sending them out.

Paintball Safety Considerations
Paintball is a highly charged, adrenaline filled sport based on combat simulations. While it is naturally much safer than the real thing, it’s still a potentially dangerous sport if you don’t observe some safety considerations.
No doubt, it would leave a welt if you were hit by a paintball bare skinned. It follows that you would need protective gear during play, or else you could sustain more serious injuries.
Special pants and jerseys are available, and using them comes highly recommended. You will also need a helmet and a face mask with goggles. Considering that the paintballs travel at about 300 feet per second, what do you think that would do to your eye if the paintball hit it?
Now that protective gear is covered, let’s talk about safety practices. Most paid fields have their rules spelled out for you, but you may not always go to one of these places to play paintball. Outside of this context, many people can get carried away with the thrill of combat. Here are a few safety rules:
• Never shoot an opponent when he’s down. When they’re hit, they’re done. It’s that simple.
• Never shoot an opponent point blank. Regardless of safety precautions, this can cause serious damage.
• Always make sure your gear is in good condition. The slightest crack in your lens can be a major problem. If your marker has seen better days, it’s time to replace it.
• Always assume a marker is loaded and air is in the chamber.
• Stay hydrated, and don’t drink alcohol when you play.
• Do not try to “tweak” your gear outside of normal guidelines.
This is just a very short list of the things you will need to keep in mind to keep from getting hurt, or from hurting someone else. This is supposed to be fun, not hazardous.

Tippmann US Army Project Salvo Paintball Gun
Here is the announcement and pictures of Tippmann's new Alpha Black Project Salvo Model.
Here is the announcement and pictures of Tippmann's new Alpha Black Salvo Model.
Quote from Tippmann on June 1, 2009,
"We are excited to release the new U.S. Army Paintball Marker - Project Salvo™…an exciting new marker from U.S. Army Paintball featuring a six position collapsible and foldable stock, an AR-15 style shroud with four built-in Picatinny rails and a new AR-15 style magazine that doubles as a helpful toolkit. The marker also incorporates a flat-top Picatinny rail built into the receiver, which makes it simple for players to quickly add a handle, site, scope or a variety of other modifications.
As an added benefit, the Project Salvo marker can be easily enhanced with an eGrip™ as well as several other performance upgrades from the Tippmann 98 Custom® Platinum Series, including: the Cyclone™ Feed System, Response™ Trigger and Flatline™ barrel.
Much like Alpha Black™, the name selected for this new marker is rooted in U.S. Military history. Project Salvo was a series of tests conducted by the U.S. Army’s Operations Research Office (ORO) from the mid to late 1950s. The research obtained through Project Salvo helped lead to the development of the AR-15, which would go on to become the M-16 – widely considered among the most respected and proven rifles ever utilized by the United States armed forces."

Tacamo - Another Paintball Industry Casualty
Today is another sad day in paintball. The Tacamo Paintball
Guns and all parts and accessories are obsolete and discontinued. If you need parts or accessories, I encourage players to stock up now. We do not have one item left or in stock and all pages will come down before the weekend. Please do not order anything from the Red Dot Paintball site because we will only have to refund your order.
How could this happen, well it is another casualty in the paintball industry. Many of you may remember that Archon was purchased by Procaps (Draxxus). As I posted before many of the lines of paint that were produced by Archon (Zap, Spank, Chronic) have slowly been disappearing. Well, the disappearance trick was performed again as Procaps/Draxxus continues to redefine itself. The latest is they want to mainly focus on stores and fields for mainly paint and goggles. Very little else from what I am hearing. It will be interesting to see if Tippmann continues to use them as a distributor that is not stocking their items? Who knows...what we do know is that there are less and less options for paintball supplies. It seems that nearly every month another loss is encountered.

Smart Parts Paintball Guns Lov'em or Hat'em?
I would love to know what everyone thinks of Smart Parts paintball guns. Recently, sales have been really slow for their guns. I am not sure why. My son uses an Ion and it is very easy to maintain. The Vibe and SP1 are cheap inexpensive but good markers to use with CO2.
For awhile, a lot of people were buying SP8's. But, recently there are not many people even searching for them. Does anyone out there use an SP8? Are they good or ? What seems to be the problem?
It has been awhile since Smart Parts introduced anything new and maybe that is it? Spyder has just released the KT Chaser Pistols and Tippmann their new TPX. Could it be just no hype? It is a bit of a mystery to me so curious to know what you think?

Kingman Training Pistols and Handguns
Here is the video and press release for the new Kingman Training Pistols. We want to hear about your thoughts? Will this pistol rival Tippmann's new TPX release? More shots per 12 G CO2 is definitely a plus. These paintball guns feel good. They are a little more compact and should be a lot of fun to use. There are a lot of planned accessories and the kit comes with CO2 cartridges, some .43 caliber paintballs and one magazine. For those of you in Canada, unfortunately, .43 caliber paintball guns are not allowed in Canada due to current firearms regulations. To see the specifications of these guns, Click Here!
Kingman Group Date: April 7, 2009 Contact: +1 626-430-2300 Los Angeles, CA, USA KINGMAN TRAINING TAKES TO THE BEACH Target Shoot, KT Girls, SWAT Demo and a Pro Exhibition Match! The Kingman Training staff stayed busy all weekend at the USPL event in Huntington Beach showing off the latest KT Eraser™ and KT Chaser™ 11mm (.43 Cal) paintball markers. The KT Booth included a fully enclosed target shoot where people crowded all weekend to experience the accuracy and fun these brand new markers offer.

JT USA Discontinues Camo Flex 8 Full Coverage Goggle
JT USA has announced that its popular Flex 8 Full Coverage Camo Goggle will be discontinued in the coming months. There are still a few available, but not many. Personally, I cannot understand this decision. Almost all companies have discontinued their camo versions of masks and it seems to me that keeping theirs would be a good seller. I have a set of these that I use myself. The goggles are very comfortable and are great in Woodsball. Along with my Tippmann 98 Custom Pro Camo Paintball Gun, I have a perfect combination in the bush.
