SP-8 I gave to my little Brother-In-Law, just wasn't for me, the Milsig is just a K-Series Pro - haven't done anything with it, actually haven't played with it yet in the two years I've owned it, I really should

I usually bring about 8 guns to a big game to try out for the first time, cycle through, and sell off the ones I don't think I'll use too much lol. The currently guns that don't leave my gear bag are:

1. Pyre - Main shooter some days, for the last two years it's been a pick up and go gun - I've only had to adjust the velocity twice on it over the chrono since I've owned it - just super consistant
2. Empire Sniper - back up to the Pyre, nice shooter
3. Evil Ehm - when I feel like shooting an electro, fun shooter
4. A Mag - I cycle through an assortment of them

Once my Loo Duck arrives, and Josh finishes building my R7 Magnum with a slam, Those will be my primary shooters. The R7 is stupid awesome to shoot, and the Loo Duck...is well...a Loo Duck. I just got on the DuckleBuster, going to see how that shoots next time out though.

82 Loo Ducks were made, there aren't that many left in the original condition. Dave Loo's personal gun sold for $8600 to Vanilla Ice, DJ Yella has one, Ice T has one.... Carter Machine finished off the original stock after Dave died in the late 90's, he makes his own now, they take about a year to finish lol

I think there are only 18 Loo Ducks left.

Yeah, that's by far the biggest item remaining missing from my ideal collection.

I have an aluminum DSP (still need to get around to anodizing it) as something of a placeholder - it's a fantastic little gun in its own right, but it's no Loo Duck.

I would have kept my DSP if it were aluminum! The R7 with the Magnum kit and slam will be my go to gun though!

This is the mock up for those that don't know what it is:



Don is gonna do a custom Anno for me...thinking oil slick rust lol

Aha, nice! I'm tentatively going Banzai Green splash on the DSP, potentially with old SP wood grips as well.

I know the R7 was (mostly) warmly received by the paintball community, but I still have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth from the Falcon debacle (I had money down on it).

Yeah, I stayed away from the Falcon, really is a shame, it was a great looking gun. He redeemed himself with the R7 - I shouldn't have sold mine until the new one came in. One of my favorite shooters so far.

I have a set of SP Wood grips in green that would fit the DSP I think, those are comfy grips, hopefully you have a set since they are getting harder and harder to get!

No, 10rd tube fed, it is amazing to shoot, one of my favorites to shoot so far!

Mag fed would be kinda neat though

I may come knocking if I decide to go that route and can't find any.

And yeah, I really like the Sterling... the Falcon could've been really cool. Oh well, I'm having my Sterling's barrel Freak-bored. Who needs a modern gun when you can shoot itty bitty paint just fine?

Everything has a price, gave away four pumps this year, one to my Secret Santa, and three at the field during a big game. If there a kid interested in a pump, and not playing like a d-bag, I'll usually give them a pump to try, if they like it, they can keep it. Good way to get more people into Pump Play!

I hear you, we get the odd kid showing up in all new gear who doesn't know how anything works...sad - just the wrong message to send to a kid - That Gear makes you a better player.

I am down to under 40 guns, and hope to get under 20 by New Years lol. Just going to keep the really special ones lol
