Teflon – A Leak’s Worst Enemy
All it takes is the smallest opening for a leak to occur anywhere on your paintball gun. A simple application of Teflon tape will save your head on the field.
Application is simple:
First, unscrew whatever it is that screws into your gun that has a leakage problem. Here, I’m using my braided steel line.

2007 Redz Ego
The 2007 Redz Ego is receiving a lot of popularity lately for its low profile and maintenance. All Egos, not just the Redz, are slowly converting Dye Matrix enthusiasts. There was once a time where Dye’s Matrix line surpassed all other marker’s capabilities; but that time is over. The 2007 line of Egos are showing what they can do on and off the field. I don’t mean to upset the Dye owners… BUT I would recommend at least trying the 2007 Egos out and let its performance speak for itself.

Even Paintballers Steal…
I read an article recently about a 15 year old paintballer that had his Dynasty Shocker stolen from him at an NPPL tournament in 2006.
As it turned out, the marker never left Florida, and was recovered this past weekend at Central Florida Paintball in Lakeland, Florida. Braccili was practicing with Team Sentinels, and he noted a Jacksonville Raider holding a blue Dynasty Shocker. He walked up to the player, later revealed to be a new addition to the Raider’s D1 squad and asked to take a look at it. Braccili was shocked to see that the serial number on the marker was the same as his stolen Dynasty. LP, Brian and Trevor (who had possession of the marker) immediately handed the marker to Central Florida Paintball’s John Smith and Smith called the Lakeland Police to investigate. D/S Smith of the Lakeland Police currently has possession of the marker as evidence.
It’s almost shocking how ruthless some people can be sometimes.
There is no 100% theft-proof way to protect yourself from having something stolen from you at the field or through an online transaction. Unfortunate stories like these rise up all the time, and yet some people still don’t learn. With the proper care and attention, you can avoid almost any kind of fraud or theft experience.
Today’s tip is a simple reminder to never leave your paintball marker, accessories, tools, or any type of gear unattended at any time while at the fields. It’s too risky and, in my opinion, just stupid :).
Peace be with you…
And also with you.

Nexus DM7
Not much a big deal but still worth mentioning, the Nexus DM7 (a branch-off of the DM7) is indeed out but barely noticeable. Most of the difference is the obvious custom milling. And even that isn’t that big of a deal. It still looks cool and might be worth the extra $100 if you’ve got it. Other than that, there’s no big difference in performance.
