Live from my Sacramento spare room, it’s Paintball Ruins My Life Live! Brad Johnson ranks 10 dead paintball gun companies (WDP, Smart Parts, Azodin), breaks down NXL rumors, and answers your questions.
Live from my spare room in Sacramento, this is Paintball Ruins My Life Live! Tonight, I’m kicking off Part 1 of my deep dive into deceased or barely hanging-on paintball marker manufacturers. I pulled a random assortment of 10 legendary names out of my master list of 33 companies to throw down on the ultimate tier list. Are they S-Tier royalty or absolute D-Tier garbage? I’m breaking down the history, breakthrough markers, and quality control of companies like Azodin, Dangerous Power, FEP, and National Survival Game. I'll also dive into local legends Palmer's Pursuit Shop, Proto Paintball, Toxic, and the massive impact of WDP Angels and WGP Autockers. Plus, we pretend a Bob Long logo is Smart Parts to rank the historic Ion and Shocker. Aside from the nostalgia trip, I’m diving into some juicy 2027 NXL rumors. We are talking potential limited paint rules for the divisional or semi-pro ranks, earlier layout releases, and the massive debate surrounding fan participation versus counter-coaching on the sidelines. To wrap it up, I look at a clip of a player snapping their marker in half, look back at the old Airtech Matrix days, and answer your live chat questions.
