AlienPB Try-An-Alien Program

Posted by on June 17th, 2009
In the works from Alien PB is a new gun rental program to test out new alien markers. The owner of Alien PB, Jack Rice, has said the following:

in response to the statement:

Quote:

… I would love to shoot this guns in person, I’ve shot the vice and the EGO but in my part of the world I haven’t seen an 09 Indy yet and Aliens are pretty rare.


or "Does the SWEEP system really work?"

Jack replied:

Quote:

I hear this too much so I just set up a "Borrow a gun" – like the women borrowing a fancy purse – – For $XX (and return shipping) you can have the gun for the weekend – can’t dive over bunkers because if you scratch it that costs extra -but you can buy the test gun at a little reduced rate or apply the $XX to a new gun.

Yes, these are new ’09’s you can shoot them and apply the fee towards a new gun! $XX for the weekend.

I am gone to Chicago this next weekend and I won’t be able to start the program until I get back. – should have been on the website but I just checked and it’s not up quite yet – but you can call us


An Industry first, (to my knowledge) a rental program will be put in place to test out Alien PB 09 Independance markers with the sweep technology. Anybody interested in Alien or Sweep Technology now has the opprotunity to A- shoot a sweet new gun for the weekend and B- test out the SWEEP effect.

for contact/more info check out the alienPB website or the Alien forum

Sewell, NJ, June 17th, Kee Action Sports and BT Paintball. The new BT Paintball TM-15 premiered at the 2009 Oklahoma D-Day, giving players the first chance to shoot the new marker. With rugged, AR-15 styling, the marker continues the successful TM (Tactical Mini) platform.

The TM-15 features:

* Ultra-strong, lightweight Magnesium body
* Stealth body and barrel design for a reduced sound signature
* Shift-on-the-fly, 4-position recreation mode firing switch
* Multiple firing modes
* Collapsible/Adjustable rear stock
* Flip-up front and rear sites
* Bolt out back design for easy cleaning and maintenance

Customers were surprised by the lightweight design, unique magnesium body, and ultra-quiet sound signature barrel. Consumers who took advantage of testing the marker in the shooting booth reacted positively on the silent rapid firing and the aggressive styling along with the overall sturdy feel of the marker.

With a $459.95 retail, the new marker will be shipping to stores at the end of July. Go to btpaintball.com for more details.

Kingman Group has released a new product line that may change paintball pistol technology for good. The new KT (Kingman Training) Pistols are 11mm (.43 caliber) paintball markers that run on 12 gram CO2 cartridges. Unlike other .43 caliber pistols currently on the market that work via airsoft technology, the new KT line uses internals designed specifically for paintball.

Cbp Banning 1 Hand Kinfes!! Please Act!!!

Posted by on June 16th, 2009
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office is trying to ban 1 hand knife by classifying them as switch blades. This includes pocket knifes, and multi tools that can be opened single handed. There is only 30 days that this will be considered then a final decision will be made. This will affect people who already owned the knifes before the law was passed, making you a criminal.

I know this topic it self is not paintball related but in my personal experience I see 5+ people along with myself using these type of knifes at a field every weekend. I think the paintball community should be aware and if possible act.

Here are some videos expanding on the subject, the individual who made them also has written a letter that is available for rewriting in the info bar on you tube. There is also a knife rights protection group linked in the same place.

Please help protect our rights in this blatant attack.

germany needs your help

Posted by on June 16th, 2009
Many of us here have been watching the story about the potential German ban on paintball with concern. Now here is your opportunity to speak up.

Sign the petition here.

If you don’t read German, we have English instructions in the next post.

Details of the petition (in German):
https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/ind…;petition=4145

Text of Petition (translated roughly from German):
The German Bundestag should reject the proposed ban on sports such as Paintball / Gotcha Laserdrome.

A ban of these sports is pure politics as symbol, without any benefit. For paintball and Laserdrome are two players or entire teams in a sporting contest against each other. The act of killing is just as abstract as in chess or fencing. Similarly, the fencing will be needed here too, thanks to protective clothing "ungefähliche ‘weapons at each. This is just as immoral as children’s outdoor water pistol games or "Cowboy and Indians."

Please make your sign and ask your friends, family and so on to sign too, we need 50.000 signs till 28.07.2009

thanke you very much
