Q. Are the items on Pukindogspaintball.com for sale?
A. No. This is not a commercial site and nothing here is for sale. If any team member has private gear for sale, they may list it on the FOR SALE page, but Pukindogspaintball.com is not a business and sells no products. This website is maintained by paintball enthusiast as a resource for paintball players.
 

Q. Can I use pictures on Pukindogspaintball.com on my website?
A. Yes, as long as you ask permission and give credit. Keep in mind most of the pictures on this site have been cropped and resized, and better quality originals may be available if you ask. E-mail Billy Goodman.

BREECH-LOADED ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC CONSTANT-AIR CANNON (BECC)

Q. will you build the BECC for me.
A. No. From a liability standpoint, none of us are willing to build and air cannon for use by anyone else. If misused, an air cannon can be dangerous and today's society is far too litigious to make building and selling one worth it.
 

Q. Are there drawn plans for the BECC or BECCjr.
A. No. Those projects were built on a trial and error as-you-go basis and no plans exist.
 

Q. Is there a parts list for the BECC or BECCjr.
A. No. The choice of parts used were arrived at by standing at a PVC bin at a hardware store and fitting different couplers and other pieces together. Many of the parts then had to have custom modifications (i.e. bored out or turned down) to make them function as needed. In some cases, the parts are one of a kind items, and anyone wishing to duplicate the project will have to be creative and come up with their own solutions.
 

Q. How can I build my own BECC
A. Search the internet for "air cannons", and you will find a variety of sites with more detailed plans. The articles on Pukindogspaintball.com are not meant to be from-the-ground-up construction guides, but instead explain how we addressed specific issues to make air cannons more applicable to scenario paintball.
 
 
 
 


 
 
COOLEST GUN IN THE WORLD (CGW)

Q. Is the CGW for sale?
A. Well, I suppose anything is for sale if the price is right, but for a reasonable price, no, it's not for sale.
 

Q. Will you make and sell a gun like the CGW ?
A. Due to continued interest, Chris Demartini, who built the CGW, is currently working on similar guns to sell to the public. The rifles will be built by hand, one at a time. Check his online store for availabilty and prices at Scenario Enthusiast.
 

Q. Are there drawn plans for the CGW ?
A. No, it was pretty much trial and error, and a hand-fitting-as-you-go sort of project. It was at least the third attempt at modifying a pump with a rifle stock. Chris Demartini, who carved the stock for instance, basically just went to work with some rather general specifications I laid out. My specifications were only suggestions in relationship to the earlier wooden stock guns such as "make this part a little longer", or "mount this part this way". Nothing was really drawn out or measured beforehand. I have tried to explain as much of the mechanics as possible in the text of the page, but will be glad to answer any other questions if I can.
 

Q. Does the CGW shoot better (more accurately or farther) than other paintball guns?
A. Absolutely not. With good paint, the gun will shoot pretty tight groups for a paintball gun - a byproduct of having consistent velocity. But it's certainly no better than any other well set up gun. Range is restricted by the same velocity limits of other guns. The CGW is all about handicapping yourself, and from a performance standpoint offers the user far more disadvantages than advantages.
 

Q. Where can I get the lever 12-gram quick changer seen in the stock?
A. The quick changer was made for the Bushmaster pump gun by Line SI, which long ago went out of business. E-bay and other auction sources are a good place to start. I have never seen the quick changer for sale by itself, but have seen it offered along with Bushmaster pump guns. Older paintball stores that have been in business for a long time are also often a good source of older parts like the quick changer, although you may have to do some digging in a back room.
 

Q. How did you paint the CGW?
A. As with some of the other guns seen on this website, the CGW was airbrushed with Testors Acrylic paints made for models. Building model aircraft is another hobby of mine, so I just happened to have the paint and tools to do it. The paint is not extremely durable, especially when sprayed directly onto an anodized surface (you can scratch it off with a finger nail). If you plan to do something like this, I'd suggest first covering the gun with an oil-based primer, such as cheap spray paint from a department store. The paint job has held up surprisingly well over the past couple of years, but durability is not a big issue to me since I enjoy repainting things now and then.
 

Q. Where did you get the bi-pod on the CGW?
A. I picked up both the B-square (about $42) and Harris (about $70) bi-pods at various gun shows. They are made for use with rifles and are available and gun shops and various places online.
 

Q. Where did you get the silencer in the pictures, and does it work?
A. That particular silencer was commercially available for paintball guns about 10 years ago from companies like AGS or TASO for about $30. It's designed to fit paintball gun barrels with a 1-inch outside diameter (few of which are being produced today). It softens the report of the gun from a pop to a thud, but being just a paintball gun, it's not very loud anyway which makes the task easy. Depending on a variety of factors that seem to change on a daily basis, the silencer can adversely affect accuracy. As pointed out in the article, it's mostly for looks.
 


 
 
 
OTHER PAINTBALL GUNS

Q. Where can I find older guns such as the Line SI Bushmaster, Nelspot 007 or F1 Illustrator?
A. Older guns which are out of production are hard to find. E-bay and other auction websites are a good place to start. Older paintball stores which have been in business for a while might have something on a shelf in a back room somewhere, and sometimes you might run into players at a commercial field who have older gear they want to sell. You just have to ask around.
 

Q. where can I find the paintball guns pictured on the Replica page.
A. Those pictures were taken at the 2003 Oklahoma D-day event, in a number of vendors tents and unfortunately I recorded no information about the vendors at the time - posting the page on the guns was merely an afterthought. Some of the guns featured on the page can be found at the following websites, http://www.getrealpaintball.com/, http://www.ariakon.com/, http://www.rap4.com/pursuit/ ,http://www.cushmanpaintball.com/
 


 
 
 
THE TEAM

Q. Where is the team located?
A. Most of us live in around Nashville Tennessee, but we also have members in Chattanooga Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky, and South Carolina.
 

Q. Where does the team play?
A. Mostly in the Southeast U.S. or wherever else we can afford to drive. Links to the fields where we have played can be found here.
 

Q. I'm 14 years old. Can I join the team?
A. We allow minors on the team but only with an accompanying parent. Legally we can not take responsibility for other people's children.
 

Q. how many people does it take to form a scenario team?
A. There are no requirements for the size of a scenario team. Scenario teams are generally formed by people who like to work together both on and off the field.
 

Q. Does the team hold regular practice?
A. Not much. We play on such a regular basis that we don't have a lot of free time just for practice. We consider each game practice for the next.
