My wife and I had our second boy Caleb late last month! We both agree that two is all we need. Paintball has been on the back burner so I don't have much to report.
 

 
I purchased several new items needed to complete my ION minigun project but I probably won't begin construction for a few weeks. The design is really falling into place now that I have three shiny new IONs and several other major parts. I plan on documenting the build with lots of pictures.
 
I seem to have gone a little pump crazy. I picked up 5-6 new pumps this year (mostly PMI Tracers) and another Sidekick pump pistol. I'm still in pursuit of some way to revive the Sidekick pistol design. I contacted one of the original designers a few weeks ago but haven't heard back from him yet.
 

 
I picked up two difference airsoft grenade launchers to get a good look at their design. A standard under barrel Mad Bull shorty and a CA G36 launcher (shown below). I have some new ideas now for my pod launcher V2 design for later this year. I also have a second grenade model to test as a launcher air source.

I finally released a new marker gallery with around 3,000 picture last month! I finally have a stable Coppermine gallery to maintain all the paintball mod pictures that I've collected over the years. I also updated my game picture gallery.
 
My new obsessions is a website that sells plastic molding materials. The applications for paintball are endless! My first project will be to make a mold for the perfect scenario launcher rocket. Basically an improved version of the Nerf Vortex rocket. This might be my first mod ever reproduced for sale...wait and see. www.smoothonsecure.com
 
Finally, my first game of the year is fast approaching and I'm chomping at the bit! March 28 is a one day scenario at my local field Sudden Impact!!
