My F1 Illustrator

Hi!
New to this forum!

Here's my F1 Illustrator that I've had since I started playing this game. I've always been a rec ball player and this marker has and still is serving me just fine.
It has a custom barrel with a super low friction ceramic material lining for straighter shots with longer range - muzzle break on the end enhances the flight of paintballs. A custom horizontal expansion chamber, a custom sensitive trigger, scoped, VL agitator, anti-syphon tank. Bolt is flared for more even air distribution across the rear of the paintball,; long throw and rear cocking. Grip is straight from an M-16. I know it's old school but it's been reliable and accurate.

^^^^^^ bottom one is an expansion chamber. If you look closely you can follow the stainless steel braided line from the bottom line tank to the chamber, goes in through the bottom and comes out the front of the chamber into the F1's front valve assembly.
The top one is simply a barrel forend grip. It's a semi automatic.

Thanks for the ratings guys.

Got the idea for a horizontal expansion chamber because it helped to lower the profile of the gun if your shooting from a prone/laying down on the ground position. It works just as well as the vertical ones. It's got 2 chambers inside of it which lead to the pipe you see on the front and that pipe leads back to the valve assembly of the F1.

The 'pump' looking thing you see on the barrel is simply a grip I added to the barrel to improve the gun's pointability and handling during games. Makes it feel like a rifle.

the scope looks cool. it'll never work very accurate though. i'd just keep it on there for looks. cut down the feendneck a little, its really high.
8/10

^^^^^^ Thanks for the posts. Most appreciated guys.

When shooting the paintball gun, that rod you see immediately underneath the scope on the back of the gun - will move back and forth with each shot.

I'll post different angles and closer pics.
