About Me
- Life Behind Lenses
- this is my first attempt at a blog. Paintball has been a huge part of my life since 1989, and with all the changes going on in the sport and the industry I felt as though I needed an outlet for my thoughts and personal history.

Thanks 4 this trip down memory lane, and a useful one at that!
In 1989 I introduced Paintball in The Netherlands and it has been since I touched-let alone shot-a paintball gun.
Now somewhere in a closet, tucked away with other stuff of years gone by, there rested an old PGP.
I dug it out recently and found that it was still in great condition.
That is, until I noticed that there was an empty 12gr. stuck inside.
No matter what I tried, there was no movement, not the tiniest sign that it would give in.
So, like it was only weeks, not years, that had passed, I seemingly automatically reached for the tools to disassemble the grumpy old marker.
Now you should know that in the past I had only taken apart a PGP three or four times. It was never my own weapon of choice, nor was it one of the models we used in our rental
business.
And so, with the help of your video, little fragments of memories bubbled up to the surface of my subconscious as I remembered some of the 'characteristics' of this particular
weapon while steadily working my way to reveal its inner most guarded core.
It took a bit of fumbling, but it worked like a charm in the end.
Thanks!
