SPECIAL PRICING: Pure Energy HPA Nitro Paintball Tanks

We recently stocked up on a few great 68 ci hpa paintball tank deals. We have both the 68/3000 tank and 68/4500 tanks in stock at blowout prices. Both tanks have a quality, high pressure (800 psi) regular made by Pure Energy. The pressure is suitable for practically all the paintball guns on the market today.

At $109.95, the Pure Energy 68/3000 paintball tank is brand new and a super deal. You get nearly $50 off the normal price. The tanks have a 3 year hydro test date. Although they are brand new and never used, the hydro date is a little order. The tanks will need retested 06-2010. Most shops that fill can re-certify the tank for 3 more years for about 15-20 bucks. We were only able to get a few units and they are selling quickly.

The Pure Energy 68/4500 generic paintball tank features PE quality in a generic bottle. These are a super deal at only $139.00. They have a relatively fresh hydro test date - 11/08. Normally, most tanks have a hydro test date at least a few months old once they hit retailers' shelves. They are tested for 5 years. Next testing is 11/2013. If you are looking to convert to Nitrogen (compressed air) or need another backup bottle, don't miss out on these deals. They are going fast and we only have a limited number in stock. Other 68/4500 5 year tanks are running $179-$189. Grab one while we have them!

Tiberius First Strike Sniper Rounds

You may have heard in either chat forums or seen the youtube videos of Tiberius' new First Strike Sniper Rounds. These paintball rounds are a departure from the traditional paintball as we all know it. The new sniper round is still a .68 caliber ball. The unique feature is the stabilization fin at the rear of the ball. The skirt-like fin is responsible for the increase in both accuracy and range over traditional paintballs. Tiberius is reporting an accuracy gain 25 times that of traditional paintballs with a range increase of 50%!

The Sniper Round uses a brittle shell made of polystyrene. Tiberius states that the shell is less likely to be affected by changes in temperature, humidity and sunlight. The inside fill is thicker than most, offering solid marking, good visibility and resistance to wiping.

The Sniper Rounds will be available soon for use in both the Tiberius Arms T8 and T9 paintball guns. In order to shoot the rounds, a First Strike Conversion Kit will be required for both the T8 and T9. The kit will include everything you need to make your pistol or rifle compatible to shoot the Sniper Rounds.

Tiberius Arms First Strike Sniper Paintball

Expected arrival dates for the Tiberius Arms First Strike products is about 2 weeks. We'll post more info, including more specific available times, when they become available to us from Tiberius.

JCS Red Hot Powertube - 98 Platinum Series

JCS (Jet City Specialties) has been in the business of making quality Tippmann replacement parts for years now. Recently, JCS set their sights on the new Tippmann 98 Platinum Series line of paintball markers. Now Platinum owners have an option to replace the stock plastic tube with an aftermarket all-metal version. Tippmann put a updated powertube in the new Platinum series markers. Therefore the platinum series powertube will not work with previous versions of the 98 paintball guns. The Platinum Series Red Hot Powertube is made from red anodized, aircraft aluminum. It offers a tighter seal and more reliable performance than it's plastic stock counterpart. Will this increase the performance of your marker? Probably not. Aluminum powertubes offer a reliability upgrade more so than a performance upgrade. The metal hole on the aluminum Red Hot tube offers a much tigher hold on your velocity set screw than the plastic tube. This means your velocity stays at where you set it.

JCS also includes a newly updated Hexadecagon Front Bolt with all their powertube kits. The latest version of the JCS-famed front Tippmann bolt is now made of Lexan. This creates a bolt that is as tough as the old, but lighter than ever.

Don't worry 98 Custom and Custom Pro owners. JCS is still producing their original powertube models for your markers as well.

Lapco M4 Gas-Thru Mag Kit - A5 HE

Lapco is one of the first companies to address the Tippmann A5 HE Selector Switch clearance issue that prevents the frame from working with many of the previous A5 mags on the market. The new A5 Selector Switch Egrip has a larger front tab that interferes with most of the A5 mags on the market designed for non-selector switch models. The M4 Gas-Thru A5 HE Mag Kit has the same features as the original model except the rear is recessed to fit the HE Selector Grip. Thank you Lapco! Hopefully many of the other aftermarket A5 Parts companies will take notice and offer a modified version of their mags as well.

Rhythm Innovations also continues to work on new products for Selector Switch owners. Their latest trigger is the HE Selector Switch Double Trigger Kit and it works on both the A5 and X7 Selector Switch Trigger Frames. The RI Double Trigger is made from the same high quality aluminum as the rest of Rhythm's lineup. The new trigger's adjustability is just another reason why Rhythm Innovation's triggers are seen on some of the most hardcore scenario and woodsball guns in the world.

Virtue Tippmann A5 Egrip Board

We've been waiting for this release from Virtue Paintball for some time and we're proud to annouce its arrival. The Virtue Tippmann A5 Egrip Board is a direct replacement for any Tippmann A5 Egrip-equipped paintball marker. The A5 Board features many of the standard features that has taken Virtue to the height of tournament level success over recent years. There is one catch though... it has been redefined to offer more modes, greater performance and more ease of use.

Virtue A5 Board

The Virtue A5 board eliminates the need for tools when programming your A5 marker. The microswitch is very light, offering one of the most sensitive switch activations in paintball today. Included are 10 modes of fire - Semi Auto, PSP Mode, NXL Mode, Millennium Mode, Auto Response, Full Auto, Breakout Mode, Ramp Mode, and Select-A-Mod and Training Mode. The 10 minute 'idle-off' saves battery power when not in use and the 'instant-on' allows the marker to function instantly upon activation. Battery life is rated at a mind-blowing 200,000 shots. Unlike some boards on the market, your personal settings will be stored even if the battery should die during use. The 'factory reset option' allows you to reset the factory default settings instantly.

The adjustability of the Virtue A5 Board is almost infinite. You can program the board to cater to your specific personal preferences and playing style. The board replaces the factory Tippmann Egrip board (WAS board). It can not be used as a replacement for the Tippmann A5 HE Selector Switch Egrip. The New A5 Virtue Board retails for $104.99.
