We get asked from time to time "how strong is the plastic?"
so here is the answer. The .090 HIP that is used to make
the kit bodies is extremely strong but lightweight so you're
not carrying around a ton of extra weight during the game.
We also fill the buttstocks and most of the other parts like
the front grips, 50 round drum, vertical grips etc, with liquid
foam to add more durability to the kit parts. The kits are
made to "dress up" your marker with no permanent changes
so that you can add and remove the kits, as needed for the
type of game your playing in at the time. This is why we
have chosen to make the kits from plastic and not real gun
parts, it saves you money and makes it so if you don't want
to use the kit for a certain game you can just take it off, try
that with some of the replica markers kits out there, you can't.

DIRECT HITS ON KIT
This short film is to show that the .090 HIP can take
multiple direct hits without causing any damage. This is the
right side of a M41A Pulse rifle kit fresh off the
vacuum-forming table. The marker used was a Tippmann
A5 firing at 265fps in full auto and from a distince of 15
feet. RealPlayer or QuickTime format.

Still unsure if the plastic is durable enough?
We have parts that get removed from the kits while
fitting in the paintball markers that can be sent out
so you can see and feel just how durable the .090
HIP is. Cost is just shipping and that will be credited
towards the purchase of any of the paintball marker
kits after the sample has been requested. Just email
us with your zip code and we will give you the exact
shipping amount to receive the kit part.
