Dye Paintball Flooded This has been a bad month for paintball manufacturers, but at least Dye's current problems aren't based on a faltering economy. NBC San Diego reports that a damaged fire hydrant flooded Dye Paintball's facility resulting in thousands of gallons of muddy water inundating the company's warehouse. They report that damages total $200,000. Hopefully this is just a blip in the road for Dye and they continue to turn out high quality (if somewhat expensive) products.Dye Paintball Flooded originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 at 10:52:53.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
Mini-Compressor for Paintball Coming Soon Finally, some good news in paintball. Tom Kaye, the legendary paintball designer behind AGD and the Automag has returned to paintball with, in my opinion, the most exciting paintball announcement in the last few years. He has announced plans to build a miniature paintball air compressor that will run off electricity and a cheap shop compressor (which only will run occasionally) and will be able to fill compressed air tanks to 4500psi. The concept is simple - create a low-power, low-cost pump that will fill tanks to high pressures over a long period of time. Current guesses are that a 68/45 could be filled in about 4 hours. While the slow fill time will mean you can't refill a tank between games, you will be able to fill a tank overnight without paying several thousand dollars as the expected retail price is $300-$400.For those of you who use compressed air, you know how its reliability, consistency and ease of use make it the preferred (and sometimes required) air for competitive paintball. You also know how difficult it is to keep your tanks full when you're not at a professional field. This new compressor solves that problem by allowing you to play (or tinker) where you like and fill your tanks at home. With the expected cost of $0.05 an hour to operate, filling a tank will now cost twenty cents - less than the gas to drive to a paintball field or store.I will definitely be in line to get one of these when they are released. I'm a big fan of Tom's work at AGD (and still own some of his products) and I'm an even bigger fan of the idea of filling my compressed air tanks without going to a scuba store or paintball field. The mini-compressor is still several months from production, but you can view a video of a prototype to see what it's all about.Mini-Compressor for Paintball Coming Soon originally appeared on About.com Paintball on Sunday, February 21st, 2010 at 22:41:13.Permalink | Comment | Email this paintball.about.com |
