How do I become a Paintball Gun Tech?

[ccecody]

q tips really help to clean small places

[Snakebiteloo]

there are advantages to being the only one who knows anything about fixing stuff.... i get paid to be a gun tech muhahaha

[PaintballProdigies]

I keep 3 spyders with me so if a player asks me to fix thier gun,they can play while I fix the gun

[ALLDAYMW]

dang i play from 900 to 400

[PBerBlueCobra]

Great Video Mike, thanks for sharing. I'm in the process of becoming one with all the makers I've been fixing. Although most of them are low end and only a very few high end it's a start.

Does the blue locktight allow you to unscrew like with tethlong tape (totally butchered that spelling)?

[Darrion115]

I'm looking for a good marker in the 500 dollar range, I was thin a fusion fx

[mehelloYO]

@Darrion115 USED!

get USED!

[TheJumbaJoe]

@Darrion115 Yeah michelloYo is right. I got a dm7 for only 315 dollars, you could probably get a Vice or even a dm8 used, not to mention tons of other guns. Most will knock the fusion fx out of the fucking water.

[strawberrynippz]

@Darrion115 get the drone or the etek fx is unreliable i have one it suks or even an axe

[joeladd1]

wht is a good paintball gun make

[ddkk1000]

@joeladd1 Bob Long, Dye, Planet Eclipse, Empire, Angel, MacDev, Alien, GoG, Tippmann, Azodin. you gotta give some detail on what it is your exactly looking for.

[marlonanulao]

@paintballtechpb also a magnetic screw plate will be good for set screws :D

[marlonanulao]

how can you tell if the lube seals it up

[Laxerman21]

Mines 10am to 8pm

[TheWeazels]

Carry a can of compressed air or duster to blow out the eyes without removing the covers. Shits a life saver. And time saver

[pballer314]

i bet he picked up all those o-rings after the show haha

[ghostrecon473]

dang my feild is open from 8:30 to 5:00

[loopymoofart]

thank you for your service

[B0rn2Paintball]

how old r u

[sethboy66]

@B0rn2Paintball what kind of question is that?

[adidas77577]

Thanks for the lesson on lube.

How to become a guntech: Work on guns.

[bamkils2]

sooo mean mike



[VEN0M182]

Can anyone help me with this?

My halo keeps jamming if i stop shooting my marker.

It'll keep feeding and not jam if i continuously shoot but if i stop for a sec it'll jam

[69gwyatt]

@VEN0M182 just get a rip drive. Check the batteries too. If you *carefully* take it apart, look for things that don't seem right and mess with it a little bit, if you find something that doesn't look right look up what it is and see what you can do. I sounds like you may have a problem with the tension springs in your drive cone? I'm just trying to help so if that isn't the case I'm sorry.

[VEN0M182]

@69gwyatt Thanks for the info but i found out my eyes were kinda dirty so I cleaned them thoroughly and wala it works.

[Outdoorsmanist]

Can you do a paintball gun collection and how many guns do you have oh yrah and also what are you sponsored by

[bbainto]

:26 Bjorn @ BLAST... :)

[AzodinBros]

thanks for the info

[AXPshaggy]

i see the "people just beat their stuff up" all the time. i fix them and see it constantly and it just frustrates me. i always remind them that taking care of their stuff helps. also there is a time where u need to say RTFM.

[blahk1234454]

Cause I want 12 year olds with a set of allen keys fixing my guns. Right.

[ItalianAnaconda]

@blahk1234454 No one is telling you that you have to have a 12 year ould to fix your gun.

[duosscythe]

Something I've done is, download DropBox, and install the app on my Droid X. And i have all paintball manuals I can get my hands on and put it in my DropBox file so where ever I have my phone I can access the info.

[M0NST3R59]

hey, i was wondering how much a bushmaster B2K4 is worth? im looking for a new gun and i want to sell my bushmaster

[mrDxPhd]

wooh!! make it rain o-rings

[Damitsall]

The reason theres no more "Tech School" (which i attended one years ago) is the unfortunate fact that most local stores dont have knowledge able techs anymore. Why they hire unknowledgeable people to begin with is beyond me (maybe money stuff)? Also the fact that manufacturers offer such good warranties now that a lot of people dont bother with other stuff and just ship it back. Not to mention not too many people still use autocockers lolz (if you were around then you know what I mean).

[TheFlea1987]

Hey Mike if the world doesn't end today could you maybe one day do a review on the Save Phace paintball mask?

[kingjohnyb]

If the world ends today. I'm going to die playing paintball.

[ronnt]

Markers are sooooo easy to maintain if they are no autocockers.

Everytime when i read someone send his gun to the tech i beginn laughing because the tech only changes the orings cleans everything out lubes everything and does the settings.thats so easy as playing lego.

Okey the only thing what is a little harder is opening the solenoid but almost no tech does this they just change them

[MoreMoneyMoreHunny]

hey does any1 know if mike buys all his guns gets em free or wat? if he gets em free...how?

[ChoppedPaint]

@MoreMoneyMoreHunny

he buys them all

[BaseballBomber69]

@MoreMoneyMoreHunny he buys them and sells them once he reviews them and tests em out

[0O00OO0O00OO0O00OO]

In so many words condensed into few: Shoot a pump

[HoneyBunchesOfDEATH1]

I saw you today at CPX :D

[mbopm]

My balls itch

[jtusa181]

I love teching peoples markers :)

[CatoLUXE]

The best part of this video is Mike laughing at the idea of being a gun tech within the first 3 seconds =)

[jameswafrican]

can someone please make a video showing how to use techpb.com and pbnation.com they are so confusing and i need help psting thatnks. THUMBS UP SO PEOPLE CAN SEE

[mrEgo4life]

bottom line take care of your stuff and tip your tech it makes us feel good

[MrPinkducttape]

Yo mike, Have you heard about the world possibly ending saturday May 21?

[jlidral]

i am always fixing my friends guns and i can never believe how dirty they are.

[ionmanpaintball]

i honestly love my smartparts sleek lube, no problems ever in any gun

[ionmanpaintball]

those of you in ohio should come to rapid fire paintball

[0930roger]

paintball at my local field has seriousley been going downhill

[Akpl4485]

where does spyder gold cup fall on the lube chart?

[brettline07]

@Akpl4485 it's just about the same thing as the planet eclipse oil, it might not have the tephlon in it but it's the same consistancy

[Akpl4485]

@brettline07 thanks man i ran out of eclipse oil and the sypder gold cup has been working good with my fx, no problems

[reeceshift]

im a gun tech....it sucks

[Darkgizmo14]

It is all about having lots of different types of lube.

[purecanaidian]

this is not revelant but i just watched the new mythbusters episode and they were using a bob long g6r straped to the hood of a car

[brettline07]

@purecanaidian saw the same thing last night, was wondering if they dinged it up while mounting it to the hood on that crude jig, also it seems like those are pretty hard to come by they must have someone around there that likes pb because there's no other reason to have that lying around

[purecanaidian]

@brettline07 matbe but its a tv show they r probably rich enough to buy one themselves or like u said a crew member must play pb

[xSmackDaddy13x]

Hey Mike, I got a pretty old gun.. and I have no idea what it is.... it only has a serial number on it, nothing else. think i could send some pics and you help me figure it out?

Thanks

[Saxton519]

@xSmackDaddy13x dont reply mike here he doesnt read it. go to his website

[xSmackDaddy13x]

Hey Mike, I got a pretty old gun.. and I have no idea what it is.... it only has a serial number on it, nothing else. think i could send some pics and you help me figure it out?

Thanks

[WanderingBassist]

I've been paid $20 dollars for fixing a marker, and i've been paid a full bag of paint for another. others i cant remember

[pedrosanquin]

geo*



[TheMusson1979]

I have a new 2011 invert mini and it is very very nice . I have friends with much more expensive markers and my mini is just as good if not better then sum of these so called top end markers .. I live near manchester I cud pop over to planet eclipse and get a ego or a geo or whatever the mini pound 4 pound cannot be BEAT . ps i'm not a 12 year old kid i'm a 30 sum thing kid lol

[pedrosanquin]

@TheMusson1979 The mini isnt that great. A gep, ego, vice, protege, axe, fx, etek and just about every other gun above its price range is going to shoot better than the mini.

[thepaintballheads]

is 3 in one good

[TPxJM]

Can there me be a New invert mini review already :)

[TreButter]

wat would u guys get luxe, nt10, or g6r

[ejk727]

@TreButter g6r!!! or the dyecam nt11 sweeet

[NoShaDow36]

I sent my gun back to dye once, will never do it again. They had it for 2 months, sent it back broken, I sent it back, the had it another 2 months, then sent it back shooting 400 and with a stripped screw that wasn't stripped before.

[brettline07]

MIKE!! fucking sweet to have you back, hope the classes went well and we have you all to ourselves this summer. hopefully the house is working out well for filming and such. would like to see a video every other day or so right??

[ernesin149]

Nice video Mike!!...as always! :)

[MrCustom112]

@ernesin149 he said that a lot of people come in saying my GUN is chopping, not balls, and its swabs not swaps. :)

[ernesin149]

@MrCustom112 ooh my bad then hehehe I didn't knew how to spell "Swabs" but know i know how :) thanks

[purecanaidian]

in my invert mini one of the symptoms of low battery is semi automatic becoming 20 bps fully automatuc

[doktoroverdose]

@purecanaidian

Thats when you have to change your battery :p

[purecanaidian]

@doktoroverdose its a great excuse jk i do change the battery

[PlanetOfPaintball]

chech out my paintball channel PlanetOfPaintball

[PlanetOfPaintball]

chech out my paintball channel PlanetOfPaintball

[spawnod]

mike is not a Gun Tech. HE IS A GUN GOD

[TheFatal05]

@spawnod dont use gods name in vain

[hipnopath]

@TheFatal05 Seriously?

[SgtGa1axy]

@spawnod easy

[partyboy1800]

@spawnod you should tell him that when you suck his dick

[Psilomage100]

Hey Does anyone Know when Virtue is putting a board out for the G6R?

[AtDeathsDoor98]

Would techt gun sav work good on my dangerous power g4 or should i use something thicker?

[cavemaninasuit]

@AtDeathsDoor98 I have a G3 SE and ive always just used hatersauce and it worked fine

[wrestlemaniac202]

@joe35664 if your reg came off the tank and it has some threads in it but not as much as before then buy a new 68/45 tank don't risk it at all

[Cpfweesh]

hey mike where do you buy orings from?

[187MuRdaCSS]

@Cpfweesh I believe he said O-Ring Monkey

[dusk1171]

living ledgends 4!!!!

[ILOVEHELLOKiTTY85]

very interesting :)

[joe35664]

how can i fix a carbon fiber 4500 68 tank it stripped from the threads what happen is the tank didn't want to unscrew from my gun then the tanks regator unscrews from my tank then the regator gets stuck to my gun so i used big pliers to force it loose but there are some thread in my tank like if i ran a tap in my tank will it save it and buy a new regator for but just add blue thread lock on it what do you think DOC

[soccerstud2009]

@joe35664 Huh? so what your saying is your regulator came loose from your tank?

[APlasticTree001]

@joe35664 When I unscrew my tank from my asa IT has a point where it is difficult to turn. What's the best thing to do is dry fire one shot while unscrewing your tank so It is easier to take out. Or just dry fire the whole time until your tank is out.

[latinsmooth3050]

every last bit of this video is true.

[frag68]

Note: Green Loctite owns blue for leaks. Cause that's what it's made for.

[frag68]

@paintballtechpb  HEY! Less echo. Not perfect, but 75% better. Maybe it's the dining room table instead of the radio room...

[wrestlemaniac202]

Thanks for the vid mike and I get tip all the time working on guns when I'm reffing at my local field more then I actually play

[volenteertjm7373]

i love this i miss these kinds of vids

[ubustang]

this was my video asked this in Players club a little while ago

[xXPAINTBALLISFUNXx]

Titties!

[Siberiapaintball]

I kind of got nominated to be my teams tech, and I've always enjoyed working on them, and tweaking them to make them shoot just a little bit better or more consistent. And I have to give a shout out to Mike for giving me a few pointers in some of his videos.

[sopa40015]

ther was a ad of this hot chick and i miss you hole vid lol

[ballngames]

THROW THE O-RINGS ON THA GROUND!!!

[bosshog871]

[teddy12012Y]

You inspired me Mike, I wanna be a paintball gun tech now (:

[PyroTechTutorials]

WD40 FTW!

[GoPaintman]

Mike,

Is that a "we kill suckers" shirt I see?

[drmouse87]

@GoPaintman it's a vicious shirt

[deckstore]

[Ipoditouchreview3r]

at the field i go to they have a free gun tech you just pay for parts but i always try to tip a few dollars just because i didnt have to do it and he knows what hes doing!

[docholliday0000]

two Bs and one A...right one Mike!..good stuff! you definitely deserve it!

[partyboy1800]

i clicked this trying to learn how to become a paintball gun.. misleading

[necramoniumdotc0m]

@partyboy1800 Get allot of lube and eat allot of taco bell...

[Ranar14]

@partyboy1800 takes a lot more than 1 video to make you a tech. I've been in the sport for over a decade and still don't know everything.

[TheHeliJumper]

I use petroleum jelly....is my gun gonna explode?

[Trashjack101]

I like baby oil the best.

Lubriderm lotion is pretty great too.

[Trashjack101]

Mike is gonna be rolling in that CPA dough.

[Paintball4life55]

And people wanted their guns to shoot like my guns... lol

[kkid189]

[SpiralBones]

[Fupa562]

[pbcarnage]

[ShuggadaddyEx]

@Volcomkid2266 :O

[baconator490]

@Volcomkid2266 That sucks. In the states you can get a case of evil for like $65-70 at the stores.

[Hellschaoticdiablo]

@Volcomkid2266 Hey big guy hit up Badlands, i'm in the same boat as you. If you can find a field that'll let you BYOP (generally outdoor) pick up a cheapy case for 40 and pay 10-20$ to bring em in

[Volcomkid2266]

@Hellschaoticdiablo

nahp. the field i play recball at is not byop. however, i get paint for 50 bucks with my team discount at a different field. the only problem is that its 45 min away :/

[MasterVideoGui]

[LBaillie2]

@xMoneyman10 uhh thats just your field... im in canada and i get paint for $40 a case...

[crash5450]

@xMoneyman10 you have bad field then my field is 60$ for 2000 and its byop all day every day

[proxydust]

5:21 = The paintball equivalent of making it rain !

[LBaillie2]
