First Time Out With The GoPro HD



This is my first helmet cam video, taken with a GoPro HD. Taken at Danger Zone Paintball in Pensacola, Florida. The music used is Five Finger Death Punch (Bad Company). More videos to come!

RTR Gargoyle; what makes it tick.

The Gargoyle Trigger. This is the first time I completely broke down the gun, so bear with me. 
I was rather impressed to see a delrin insert (seen in picture.

"Exploded view"



EDIT: RTR just had to point out that the Rail, feedtube and barrel adapter are backwards. It happens lol.

Remember The Ronin (RTR) Barrel Bags

Are all barrel bags equal?
No.

Are there other options that are just as good? Probably somewhere.



RTR offers a quality bag that won't fall apart, looks great and is more useful then that normal barrel bag/plug. It is reinforced at the tip (as seen in below picture) and has a velcro flap which allows it to become two bags in one.

We have all had that "damn it" moment where we shoot a ball into the bag. Then you have to switch to another or try to clean it out.. Either way, when your trying to get into the next game, its a pain I don't want to deal with.

At $6.00 ($5.00 if 3+) they are cheaper than some of the competition and most likely superior to what you are using.

I ordered mine as raffle tickets (each ticket was $10.00) and ended up getting 10 barrel bags and a second RTR Gargoyle for my cousin. It doesn't get any better than that.

It won't make a huge difference most likely, but they are handy to have around for those "special moments" you prematurely.... fire your.. gun. ;]

Bombswab Review

This review is for the barrel swabs that are sold Here.
Top: New BombSwab
Bottom: Used BombSwab

A swab is a very simple and critical piece of gear. It is easy to forget about or overlook until you need it. In the past I have owned a couple different barrel swabs. Namely a few by Redz and DYE.
After a few game days, these swabs would always fall apart and I would be walking to the proshop to buy the same old swab I knew wouldn't last long. The material used ("swab" portion) would clean the barrel fine, but quickly deteriorate over the course of a few days of play. It would become very compressed and wouldn't do a great job cleaning barrel breaks anymore. Also, the rubber piece in the center would crack or be pulled apart easily. The latter was the bigger issue of the two.

Features:
-100% Customizable, from the letters/logo on the label to the swab and connector. You can even choose    what font for your custom label.
-100% lambswool. Proven to be durable and work well in my experience.
- Made in U.S.A.

I happened across a thread on PBNation a couple years ago claiming how much better the product was. I thought to myself "its just another swab, but I'll give it a shot." I ordered a "3 Swab Player Pack." Very simple to order, just customize the way you want and go from there.

I couldn't be happier with the products I bought. It has stood the test of time and has not failed me in the ways that other manufacturers products have. The connector piece (rubber piece in center) has not cracked or given way at all. The glue that holds it all together has not allowed it to come apart at all.


I would highly recommend them to anyone, the couple dollars more you pay for a BombSwab will easily go farther than another that you have to buy every few games.

I know it is a small piece of gear, but these are far superior to anything I have tried. I am impressed, and if I need another swab, Bombswabs.com will be the first place I go.

Customizable Label
Oh and one last thing that makes these worth those extra couple dollars (if you missed it the first time): MADE IN USA!
