Wow – March slipped by and I missed it!!  I am sorry – I didn’t put a feature out here.  Well, I have selected a good one for the month of April.  It is the T68 Split Fire Dual Feed Paintball Gun.

T68 SplitFire Dual Feed Paintball Marker features a dual-source ammunition feeding system, capable of providing two different types of .68 caliber ammunition at the turn of a dial. The T68 SplitFire can carry two types of ammunition simultaneously, and allows the operator to select the most effective projectiles for the situation—then change back as needed.

The T68 SplitFire has a removable carry handle with standard iron sights that are adjustable for elevation and windage. With the carry handle removed, the T68 SplitFire can take any standard scope, sight, or mount on the flattop rail. Like the entire T68 line, the SplitFire has the look, ergonomics, and reliability you need for paintball—with attributes that extend its role beyond the field.

The T68 SplitFire is built with an internal Flexi-Air system that puts your air tank inside the multi-position stock. You may also employ a full-size air tank as a stock, or use an air remote system with a tank in your vest. The T68 SplitFire is able to cycle through thousands of shots without requiring maintenance. When maintenance or repair is needed, the T68 SplitFire is so easy to work on that it can be completely torn down and rebuilt in less than 5 minutes…an armorer’s dream.

But what is really cool about this weapon is that it is magazine fed, as well as hopper fed, with a simple turn of a dial.  Think of the possibilities!  More ammo on board all the time!!  And remember that big game coming up in California that requires a mag fed gun (Operation End War 2010) – this one would qualify as long as you don’t use your hopper, but you would have the long term capability of having the dual feed system.  What a deal!!

Here is a video that gives more detail about this weapon – its features and how it compares to a real military weapon.  It is pretty lengthy, but worth the effort before you invest in a weapon like this.

Our price for this package is $475.  The package includes:

- 1 x T68 Gen6 – Magazine Fed Paintball Gun
- 1 x T68 Split Fire Dual Feed
- 1 x T68 Magazine
- 1 x M4 Barrel Kit
- 1 x M4 Detachable Carry Handle with Iron Sight
- 1 x M4 Style Charging Handle
- 1 x Internal Flexi Air System
- 1 x 5 Year Warranty

We offer extra magazines, changes to the barrel length, multiple air choices.  We also offer free shipping when you order $200 or more, and this would obviously qualify.  (See our free shipping policy)

I know it is hard to believe, but spring will be here before you know it, and when it gets here everyone wants to get outside and have a little fun.  What better way to have fun than to get involved in a good old fashioned shootout!!

Paintball sports are something the whole family can get involved with – whether it is just outside in your backyard, or at a facility designed for paintball activities.  What we want to feature for the month of February is a package that includes everything a person needs to get started in the sport, (except air and ammo – you will need to fill your tanks and grab some paintballs – then off you go!)

This package includes a T68 Gen 6 Tactical Carbine, your choice of a 48 ci 3000 psi Air tank or a 20 oz. CO2 cylinder, a pair of Hawkeye Anti Fog Basic Goggles, your choice of a Tactical Harness or Strikeforce Tactical Vest, 4 Paintball Pods and a remote line.  The normal retail price for this package is $599, but we are now offering all of this for $359.   That is a discount of $240 – not a bad deal!!

Now, the T68 Tactical Carbine includes a body rail that allows attachments such as: laser sights, flashlights, grenade launchers, or a vertical grip! The weaver style flattop rail, which is a standard feature of the T68 Tactical Carbine, will also allow the user to mount a scope, sights, and all standard military attachments. The T68 Tactical Carbine also comes with the M4-style charging handle—standard!

Another item to note, this weapon as described is a hopper fed paintball gun, and the hopper does not come with the package as described.  It does come with the hopper adaptor however.  Hoppers can be purchased for as low as $4.99, but this weapon can also be upgraded to become a magazine fed paintball gun.  I have heard it said that beginners should stick with a hopper fed gun until they can gain the confidence needed to be able to hit what they are aiming at, thereby reducing the number of rounds of paintballs required.  (Magazines hold fewer rounds than hoppers, so take this into consideration before upgrading to a magazine fed weapon)

For those of you who are considering that big game coming up in California in October, Operation End War, know that this weapon can be upgraded with a magazine kit that will make it “legal” for that game.

As promised, we have found another location to enjoy your paintball sports.  It is TAG Paintball, in Hollister, CA.  It is located in northern California and it appears to have some pretty good deals and pretty cool fields.

The rates are reasonable and the equipment offered for rental is top notch.  You are required to buy all your paintballs on location.  It is posted that the youngest age allowed is 12, but a mature 10 year old might be able to play too.  And get this, parents get in on the fun for free – they just need to buy their paintballs.  They even offer a money back guarantee that you are going to have a great time.  What a deal!!

The way we heard about this location was through hearing the news about a huge scenario paintball game coming up in October.  It is called Operation End War 2010, and is sponsored by Real Action Paintball.  It will be held at TAG Paintball on October 2-3.  Campers are welcome.

They have created a scenario where this will be the war to end all wars.  There has been a nuclear exchange, the Middle East and all their oil is gone and Russia now has a commodity everyone wants, Siberian oil, and it is running low.  So the Marines must, as always, save the day.  Sounds like great fun, so get your gear together, hone your battle tactics and get ready for war.

To register, contact Roland at TAG Paintball, 800 TAG 5150.  Registration deadline is September 1.

This game will allow magazine fed paintball guns only. (43 cal or 68 cal) These are some examples:
