Welp, haven't paintballed since 2012, and before that since 2008. Deployments, school and limited funds hurt....but it was mostly because of the horrible taste of paintball I got back in 2008. The blatant, rampant cheating I was able to observe while standing on the airball field sidelines, needless overshooting (10+ hits), and a general lack of casual fun and brotherhood that I found when I started in 1999.
Since then I've finished school, started a career (and family) and got the evil evil paintball itch again.
I just ordered myself my first non-automag primary gun since 2003. Ordered a Tippmann Crossover XVR (kinda reminded me of an E-Mag <3 ), hopper, tank, and barrel kit....my plan is to start just doing recreational big game scenario type events. After about a $600 internet spending spree, all my goodies are on the way I can't tell you guys how excited I am. More pics will be posted when it's all assembled.
Sooo, over the past few years, any big changes or trends I need to be aware of? And any thoughts on the XVR? Really looking forward to using it. I've been trying to find out how it feels to shoot in mech mode but I haven't found any online descriptions of it.
