eBay Milsim Paintball Gear Auction

Welcome! Thanks for visiting my eBay listing. Here you'll find more information, and pictures of everything included in the kit.

Tacamo AK-47 fold-under marker

This paintball gun is a serious Milsim creation! This is no A5 with phony-looking aftermarket parts on it to dress it up as an AK. This marker was built from the ground up to look like the Russian AKMS (the AK version with the folding stock used by paratroopers and tank crews). There is NO PLASTIC on this marker, with the entire construction being of wood and metal. It's perfect for scenario games when you want to play as the bad guy or terrorist. Be warned though, this is not a weapon for wimps! Its weight is comparable to a real AK, and it's LOUD when it shoots. This marker was bought in July 2009 from seller ameropaintball, and has been used in only 4 outings during summer 2009. It's fully working, and in excellent condition!




Pure Energy 20oz CO2 tank (hydro date 04/2014)

I filled and used this tank once for target practice, but it's never actually been used in a game (I use HPA). So it's in mint condition with no scratches.





200-round Tacamo Arc Loader

Hands-down THE best non-electronic hopper ever made! I bought 3 of these babies before Tacamo went belly-up and they became very hard to find. I'm including one of them with this package. Proto/Dye has now copied this design with their new Primo loader, which is in high demand and hard to find.





Winchester 50-round loader

This small hopper is suitable for limited ammo games and competitions. It doesn't hold as much as the arc loader, but it looks a lot better than having a big hopper on top of your paintball gun.






Tacamo Spring Kit

A complete spring kit for the Tacamo AK series paintball guns. After you fire thousands of shots, springs in your marker can lose their original "oomph". With this kit of brand new replacement springs you can replace old springs as needed, and keep your marker firing like new for years to come.





GXG Stealth goggle

This mask isn't that great, but I'm adding it to the package as a freebie so you can go out and play as soon as you receive your gear. I'd recommend upgrading your mask to a better one as soon as you can though. It's only been worn on 3 outings, and is in good condition. It's nice and large so it offers plenty of protection for your face and forehead if you're a larger player. I'm including a microfiber cloth with it, for cleaning the lens without scratching it.






2 Plague 100-round pods

2 Plague pods, holding 100 paintballs each. Combined with 200 in your Tacamo hopper, you can go into a round with 400 paintballs, which is plenty for woodsball.






GXG Tactical Vest with all pouches

I liked this vest so much that I bought a second one for my girlfriend to play too. Unfortunately the girlfriend has decided she doesn't like paintball, so I have one to sell. It's got padding inside, and the pouches on the rear are mounted with velcro, so you can mount your tank pouch and pod pouches vertically or horizontally, depending on your play style. Purchased in July 2009, in good condition with no rips. It's adjustable, so one size fits all.





GXG 2-pod camo pod harness

For hot days when you want to play light, and don't feel like wearing a full vest. This harness will carry two pods around your waist. One size fits all.






Police Tactical Shirt by Rapier

This is an authentic navy blue long-sleeve police tactical shirt made by Rapier, the same kind worn by police tactical teams. It features reinforced cuffs and Velcro chest pockets. It's clean, with no rips or stains. NOTE: The police shoulder patches have been removed. The shirt size is 17, which is about equivalent to a Large or X-Large in paintball clothing.




Police tactical pants

These are authentic navy blue cotton police cargo pants, from an unknown manufacturer. There are cargo pockets secured by Velcro on each leg, with button-up back pockets. These pants are clean, and in good condition with no rips, stains, or worn out knees. The waist size is 38, with a 30 length, equivalent to an X-Large in paintball clothing.






Gloves with silicone beading

Cloth gloves with silicone beading on the palms for good grip on your marker (and better protection from splinters, thorn bushes, etc.). The thumbs and index fingers have been cut off the gloves to make it easier to manipulate a trigger, pop open pod lids & reload, etc.






Tactical boots (Size 11)

These are issued all-season police tac boots from a force I used to work for. Since I had my own service boots already at the time, I never wore these on the job. I did wear these around the house and yard for a day last year to break them in, but aside from that, they've never been worn and are in MINT condition. There's no branding on the boots (which is pretty common with government contracts), but they appear to have been made by a top-quality manufacturer, with features like Vibram soles, 3D2 insoles, Sympatex waterproofing (similar to GoreTex), and some Thinsulate lining. You would easily pay over 100 bucks elsewhere for tactical boots with all of these features. They're size 11, but could probably fit a 10.5 with tighter lacing.








 All items have been cleaned or laundered, and sprayed or wiped down with Lysol where applicable (goggles, boots). The AK marker's internals have been cleaned to a shine and well-oiled.


Everything you need to play is in this kit! You could literally open this package, head out to your local paintball field, and start playing as a walk-on with all of your own equipment. In time you may want to upgrade some items like your mask, and a remote line, but everything you need to start enjoying milsim paintball is here.

Of course a question you may have is "If this stuff is so great, why is he selling it?" The fact is that I just got into paintball last summer, and spent an outrageous amount of money in six months outfitting myself with markers, clothing, and other equipment, buying new stuff as I discovered my playing style. After a little while you find yourself with a lot of gear you don't use. For example, the Tacamo AK is a fantastic gun, but I later spent $400 on a BT TM-7 with full automatic fire, and a HALO electronic hopper for it too. So the AK won't get used much anymore, if at all, and I decided to sell it.

Good luck on your bid, and don't hesitate to ask me any questions using the ask link on my eBay listing!
