I am currently used car shopping and I need fold down rear seats to haul my stage piano. To get an idea of why I can't just strap it to the roof or use a passthrough, this this is practically a small coffin. Refer to link for dimensions:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/gator-g...

Here is what I am hoping to find in the car, and yes I realize these goals are at odds occasionally, so they are prioritized.

Reliable (Honda/Toyota and their luxury equivalents preferred)

Around 2004-2006 model year (flexible)

It can get out of its own way (I find the 3.9L in an 2006 impala to be slow, but I feel like the 3.2Ls in Honda/Acura etc to be snappy enough)

Not going to break the bank on insurance

The only options I am currently aware of are 2006-2011 model year Chevy Impalas. I was hoping to get a 2004 Acura TL but I just discovered that they don't have fold down seats :( Any help would be appreciated.

And no, I am not getting a truck as I live in a metropolitan area and want to use this primarily for commuting.

If I squeege out the inside if my ported barrel ( it is stepped at the end too) and there is paint in the porting, will this affect my shooting noticeably? (E.g. after every barrel break should I be spraying water through the porting to get the paint out?) Thanks in advance.

This is my first year pb'in and I have:

Azodin Kaos, Proto Primo, 0.678 eigenbarrel, stock azodin barrel (0.689 i believe), guerilla air 48/3000 hpa

I have been having barrel break issues frequently (about every 20 shots, which may be an overestimate of how many before breakage) and I bought my fields RPS PREMIUM (premium gold from empire stuff).

Other things to note before you answer:

1) I am having these breaks when I shoot about 1 ball per second. Also, when these break, there seems to be no paint whatsoever in the breach or getting in/on the hopper, so I assume this means that they aren't chopping, but I am no expert.

2) I am having the same issue on both barrels, and both appear to have a perfect mirror finish on the inside, so I don't believe I have barrel damage.

3). Some people said that the kaos is hard on paint, so I chronoed it down to 250ish but it is still breaking them in the barrel.

4) If this makes any difference, the eigenbarrel is .678 stepped to .685 at porting and the azodin is a non-stepped .689

5) the field paint is sitting at about 0.686 currently (they originally told me 0.681 when i bought the barrel, but thats the magic of humidity). Is my barrel too small?? (I've heard some say that 0.008 is a common underbore breakage point.) If so, what would you recommend that is reasonably priced (definitely nothing over $50)?

6) I flip my paint every week and the stuff I was recently firing was incredibly cared for IMO. I was trying this suggestion I saw that said to store paint in large ziploc bags, but in a way where none are stacked atop eachother so the paint isn't getting crushed or anything. They were stored out of sunlight inside my house at a max of about 80 F.

7.) I have cleaned the gun and the detents and I still seem to be having issues.

Or am I just screwed cause I have 2.5 cases of this soft paint? Thank you for your time.

This is my first year pb'in and I have:

Azodin Kaos, Proto Primo, 0.678 eigenbarrel

I have been having barrel break issues frequently (about every 20-30 shots, which may be an overestimate of how many before breakage) and I bought my fields RPS PREMIUM (premium gold from empire stuff). I would like to know what the potential causes could be, and what is more likely.

First off, the field paint is sitting at about 0.686 currently (they originally told me 0.681 when i bought the barrel, but thats the magic of humidity). Is my barrel too small?? (I've heard some say that 0.008 is a common underbore breakage point.) If so, what would you recommend that is reasonably priced (definitely nothing over $50)?

I have heard some people say that the kaos is hard on paint. Should I chrono my gun down a bit further (average about 260 fps as opposed to 285-290)? Is there anything I can do to reduce how hard it is on paint??

Should i be checking and cleaning the detents? It is a new gun, used maybe 6 times, and I clean it after every outing, but I still keep having breakage issues. IDK what to do.

Or am I just screwed cause I have 2.5 cases of this soft paint?

I realize this was a lot of questions wrapped into one but it will be very helpful to me! (I don't wanna go buy a barrel if what I really need to do is get a new gun... :/ )

I want to install this asa on this gun.

http://www.punisherspb.com/dye-airport-on-off-blac...

http://www.punisherspb.com/azodin-kaos-paintball-g...

First of all, is this asa a good asa? Ive heard good things about dye products, so I assumed so, but a lot of people brag on CP asa's... Feel free to make recommendations, just give me good reasons for them...

Secondly, is there anything besides the gun, the asa and a tank that I need to complete this setup (like macroline or special mounting elbows ) ?

Thirdly, Ive heard people mention that with dovetail mounts you can adjust the length of the air tank from the player? I don't exactly get what they are talking about, so any elaboration would be apprieciated!

Fourthly, any benefits to dovetail vs direct mount... I hear lots of braggin on dovetail, but Id like some second opinions...

Im new to paintball and grasp very little at the moment, so please feel free to be specific. Thanks in advance ^_^

Ok, so Im new to the sport and I want to get a decent setup, but price IS a factor. I am still struggling between whether or not to get a mech. or an electric, but I think that azodin should be the way to go. Here are some of my questions about these guns.

Thanks again. Feel free to give any other parting advice to me to, although it will be taken with a grain of salt.

Can I use the azodin blitz grip regulator on the kaos, which has a gas thru foregrip? The kaos manual on the azodin website makes it sound possible, but I wouldn't know the first thing about changing this.

Do guerilla/ ninga air 48/3000 tanks like these come with regulators? They make it sound like they do.

http://www.paintball-online.com/shop/Product/HPA-P...

Are tank regulators different in function than one a gun?? Do I need both, or just one?

Can I attach an asa like this to either the blitz or the kaos? It sounds compatible, but IDK.

http://www.discountpaintball.com/Azodin-On-Off-Dov...

How exactly do the electronic pre-programmed modes on the electric guns work. I specifically wanna know how they fire, because it sounds like its based more about on/off on the trigger than auto vs semi.

I am getting into paintball, and I think I understand most of what I need/ want to use, but I'm not sure if I have all my facts straight. Feel free to suggest other products or options, but I am looking into getting a mech. marker as I will be playing woodsball, and to be honest, Shooting more than 5 bps seems like a waste of paint.

Marker:

I am looking between the azodin kaos and the kaos d. I am not sure which to go with for multiple reasons. Please don't throw in too many fanboy comments here.

http://www.azodin.com/kaos/default.asp

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AQXLOM/ref=as...

1. Is that black caramel color on the kaos d going to be too flashy for woodsball?

2. Is it important to have the ASA On/Off thing built into the gun, or can I do that afterwards?

3. Is it important to have the regulator built into the gun, or can that be acquired on the air tank?

Hopper-Proto Primo should be plenty for me!

Feedneck--http://www.paintball-online.com/shop/Product/Paint...

was thinking about getting one like this, because there are lots of complaints about the twist lock feedneck.

Mask:

I was going to go thermal, and I currently have an anti fog. I was wondering if the sly profit masks would be good for woodsball or if they are more geared towards speedball. The 3 components I'm really looking for are

--Functionality: is it light, durable and EASY TO CLEAN. If possible, could I easily clean it between matches if paint manages to get inside my goggles?

-- Can I see out of it w/o foggin' up?

--Will it look too noticeable/be too eye catching?

Air tank--

I really have very little knowledge in this area. From what I read, the 48/3000 seems to be the right capacity for me and I don't think I want a 4500 due to the expense at the moment. BTW, does CO2 fill up to these same pressures, or is HPA the only one that has pressures this high?

Barrel

--Was gonna leave it stock and see what I thought. Feel free to make suggestions. Also, Ive been hearing mixed info on the effects of different bore sizes. A definative answer would be great.

Maintenence--

Help!! I think I need gun oil, and some sort of barrel squeege, but please give me a complete rundown of what I need. Also, is normal gun oil and paintball gun oil interchangable? Thanks.

Misc.

If you have any misc advice for a newbie, Id love all the advice I can get. Id rather learn now than the hard way after I do something wrong.

Thanks a million to anyone who gives me their input!!

Please be descriptive.

I am wondering because I have a lot of high A semester grades, but I got 3 B's on my Finals.

3 yrs Social Sciences: Early American History, U.S. History and another i am unsure of

4 yrs of math, including Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre Calculus and AP Calculus.

Post what you think about this and explain why.

Thanks.

Is this an accurate non- dictionary definition...

If you work hard and play by the rules you will prosper.

I would like to work at Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grumman or do auto engineering with GM or supercar companies.
