I don't play but one of my friends has played pro for a few years now. He goes through guns so fast. He's had angels, bob long intimidaters, shockers, etc. I'm not sure what he's shooting now but its probably worth at least $1500.

Why the hell would you run a 21" barrel on a DM5? It's rather obvious that you are running nitro because you can't put co2 on a DM5. You obviously don't play speed ball, xball, or anything like that with a 21 inch barrel...

well, he could be using the length of the barrel to push the barrel....yet still unlikely..

i had an angel speed with dye boomstick...it was nice, until i ran out of money

Yeah, but you're sacrificing heavy consistency when you have a barrel like that. I played semi-pro on Eclipse Factory, and it sucks getting caught with a hot gun.

i would have thought 16 is fine for front. when i use my 14 inch AA barrel up front (not as much as mid), its just a bit too short for pushing bunkers aside (it works, but not so well).

New Hampshire mostly, Birch Hill paintball, Cape Cod paintball, I played in like 10 or so NEPL's we won a few. I never went to any NPPL tournies I was on Eclipse Red. Mostly based out of Mass and NH.

They had a 10 man team that took like 8th in NPPL open. I haven't played for years though and have lost contact with the guys.

My friend got a concussion too. We played in this local 5 man tourney with only 4 guys haha. We pretty much swept it. He got shot right on the top of the head like 3 times the kid was shooting like 310-320 so he had to go to the hosiptal after.

What team did you play on and where?

Ive seen a lot of back players shooting the lane w/21s.

I have 18 inch ultralite on my Angel and I play front/snake most of the time.
