JT Paintball Announces New Integrated Valve Technology on their CO2 Tanks

JT Paintball recently announced their new Integrated Valve Technology for CO2 tanks. Pretty cool stuff not only in function, but also safety. Plus, the addition of the magnetic fill indicator strip so that you know exactly how much gas you have left to work with. Check out the video for more info:



It's pretty cool to see manufactures adding new technology to old products, making them better and safer. Props to JT for this one...

The Assault Rifle Look - A New Standard in Woodsball Markers?

Now don't get me wrong, I've always loved the assault rifle look.  So I think it's great that more markers are hitting the woodsball market modeled after them.  Beginner and hardcore woodsball players alike love the milsim look of these new markers.  I also think it's awesome that there is a variety of price ranges to choose from too.

Here are some of the newest markers to hit shelves sporting the assault rifle look:

The recently released Battle Tested TM15 - est price of $450





The Bob Long MTac - retail price of around $1,000





The Tiberius Arms T4 - Veritas MK-IV Less Lethal - (rumored to be coming soon) - price unknown





Also I have heard rumors that Smart Parts is going to be putting out a new scenario / woodsball marker soon.  Can't wait to see what that's all about...

Upcoming OKC Scenario - Operation: Iceberg


Operation: Iceberg, is set to kick off Sunday, July 19th. As always it's a BYOP and BYOA event, so be sure to visit your local shop and stock up! Everyone who intends to come must join the "OKC Events" group and let us know in the corresponding discussion. If you need the field location, DM Murdoc on the OK Company website.

Story line:

1945, United States landing craft barrel across the waters surrounding the Japanese island of Okinawa. Ahead, white sands, lush jungles, and a well trained Army of the Rising Sun. Okinawa is the gate to Japan. The US needs a victory to secure an intimidating foot hold in the pacific, while it's Axis counterparts will give tooth and nail defending the sacred grounds they call home, ultimately protecting the king pin, Tokyo.

On Sunday, July 19th, yours truly will give the command to lower the LCVP ramps and American boots will hit the ground. On July 19th, The Army of the Rising Sun, led by OKC-Frog will sharpen their teeth and begin a war of attrition. For one Sunday, OKC Mtn will be transformed to the metal hurricane that is Okinawa. The ferocity that made this battle so famous will transcend to our home field, leaving the politics behind, but bringing the intensity and an edge of fun to a piece of history. This OKC event will take place across the entire property of the Mtn. The event will be one ongoing game including multiple objectives for each side. Maps and objectives will be revealed when roles are filled.

So, if you're in the Pacific NW, or more specifically the Portland area, looking for a killer paintball scenario to attend in July, look no further.  You've just found it!
