My nelspot 007. Got it for $80 in pretty much perfect condition. I made a pretty picture backgrounded with pretty spring flowers. First paintball gun. Dated to 1985 this particular one.

WOW, I love those older guns, kinda like owning a piece of history huh? Im hoping to find a VM-68 myself. Will you use it to play? 9.5/10, only thing that would have been better would be to find it in original packaging.

Ya im using it Saturday. I also have a kp-3, some splatmasters, a handful of pgps, some 3357's and a handful of other pumps. Only the forst same in originol packages. After that they were sold as kits over the counter not really packaged.

Sure... cool to own, but those "pre-pump" bolt-actions were not very comfortable to shoot.

I remember having blisters on my thumb from trying to cock that darn knob!!

I also remember when pumps started showing up around 95-96, people were saying that it would "ruin paintball because people would be firing so fast"... hmmm

Actually 85-86. And i know where your coming from with the blisters and all. Im in the process of making my own finger-grooved bolt action arm instead of the little ball. I just dont like the pump arms available for nelspots.

WOW, that it the exact same marker that I played my first 12 or so games with. That took me back all the way to spring 1982. My first paintball playing was at a friend of the familey's dairy farm. They used the Nelspots for marking cows that are being sold or moved to the quarintine barn.

Because it's a part of paintball history and in great shape: 9/10

They only had two of them but a few months later bought 4 more just to play "The Servival Game", as it was called at the time. The next year or so APG Magazine came out on the newstands and I bought my first issue (the zines' first issue or two). I was SOOOOO excited that there was a "hobby" magazine for the new sport of paintball. Pumps at the time were crazy one off modded Nelsons and then Sheriden came out with their pump pistol and riffle a year or so later.

Good times back then....Uvex safety goggles and all. Just dont get hit in the face in those days. All we could do is wrap our faces in scarfs and bandannas. PAINFULL welt city!

its ok 7/10

Only second to its predacessor, the 707.

HP_lovecraft

The 707 went before the 007, but they use a completely different design.

The 007 was Daisy-based (ie Phantom, Maverick, AT85R).
The 707 was Crosman-based (ie Tippmans, Stingray, Nightmare).

The 707 is one of the rarest, and most collectable guns, but some argue over its place in paintball. It was made in the late 60s, and has probobly never actually been USED in a game... I'd still love one though.

Actually theres a person on stockclasspaintball.com who has a pair of them and uses them regulary.

I really actually enjoyed shooting Splatmasters, amazingly accurate for a plastic unported barrel =P

Besides rare was the game I shot more than 2-3 tubes worth of paint
