Dye's New Super Gun!!

The Dye 2010 NT!!

• Boost Bolt Technology - no more LPR
• Automatic valve shutoff
  
• 130 psi operating pressure
• 1500 - 1700 SPF per 68ci/4500psi tank
• Adjustable bolt chamber volume
• New Ultralite on/off ASA
• Ultralite Reach trigger
• Integrated rubber pads for better grip
• Tool-less rubber grips
• Tool-less clamping feedneck

I like the sleek new design. Looks so thin, it's almost like a Luxe don't you think. The nicest thing to me is probably the new on/off ASA. The macroline now connects to the front of the ASA, unlike previous models where the macroline is protruding from the side, which is the only thing i don't like about the DM9, tends to poke you in the wrist while shooting.

At only 1.6 lbs as claimed, this marker is ridiculously light. For comparison, the Dangerous Power G3, a marker known for its light weight, is 1.86 lbs.

From the video, it looks like the new clamping feedneck doesn't have the thumb screw anymore. I think it works kinda like Bob Long's, where you rotate the clamping lever to adjust the hold on the loader.

The new bolt system looks very complicated, but small. The backcap looks unique with the 3 allen screws, I wonder what it's for.


According to rumors online, the NT will not replace the DM series. There will still be a DM10. The NT series will be Dye's top-of-the-line luxury marker, much like the Planet Eclipse's SL series.

Coconut Jelly

Went for a game of badminton the other day. After that we went to Dato Keramat for some yummy coconut jelly. The place is situated along the busy Dato Keramat road, near the new Penang Times Square, it was not easy finding a nice parking space.


It looks like a regular coconut from the outside, with the husk removed leaving the inner shell. Inside, the meat is still intact, but the coconut water has been replaced with coconut flavoured jelly. The chilled coconut jelly tastes extremely nice, especially since we were so thirsty after playing badminton.

Everything was perfect, except the spoons they provide. Scraping coconut meat through the small opening on top of the shell was difficult with the flimsy plastic spoon, which can be easily broken if not careful.


On a different matter, saw this in QB later that night.... totties!! The driver must have a hard time keeping the car free of dust.

13th Sept 09

After playing with the same layout for 4 months, finally we get to play on a new layout today. Being covered by the same bunkers for 4 months, there were patches of grass-less land everywhere. And because there are no grass and just plain dirt, last night's rain made the field super muddy, probably the muddiest yet.

Sliding on today's field was like being in a water slide, once you slide you'll go on and on and on and on.... and it was actually quite fun! Crawling in the snake was also super easy. Just lay down with your arms stretched out in front of you, and push with your legs. It's so slippery there was hardly any friction between the arm and the ground.

Playing in the slippery mud has its fun, but afterwards, you'll have to clean up like crazy. Every piece of my stuff was covered in mud, took me more than 3 hours to clean off everything. Surprisingly, my PMR still shoots fine even when it's all covered in mud. The only hiccup is the pellets don't shoot straight because of the wet barrel, other than that there are no problems at all. I'm liking my so-called 'unreliable' marker even more now :)

Dirtiest marker of the day...

Even MoMoTang wants to play paintball...

Notes to self:

• Move up the field together with your teammates. Don't go solo.
  
• If you're already near the 50 but your teammates are still far behind, be patient and guard your lane. Wait for them to catch up before moving up again.
• Bunkering doesn't mean you have to do a run through everytime. If it's too dangerous to run all the way up, you can always put a few shots on the target and move back behind the bunker for cover.

Raining is bad for paintball...

...your pellets get all soft and sticky, your shots are not consistent, your mask fogs up, the field gets muddy and slippery, and lorries get stuck...


Yup, rain brings trouble when you're paintballing. Last week the field was muddy all over due to several days of rain. In the morning around 10, the lorry that delivers the gas canisters got stuck in the mud. From the morning until the evening, they tried all sorts of ways to get it unstuck - sticking wooden planks under the tire, unloading the canisters to lighten the lorry, pulling the lorry with a 4x4, and then with a bigger lorry - all in vain.

The ground was so soft, the lorry left a 'longkang' of
muddy water wherever it passes...

Finally they had to call in a tractor to pull it out from the mud. Apparently the situation was a serious one for them, cause even their 'boss' (the one with the tie) came along with the tractor to have a look.

"I'm wearing a tie, I have to walk yeng-ly..."

Those lorry drivers are really not environmental friendly. During the long wait for the tractor, they left the engine running for a few hours!! OMG, petrol price now really cheap meh? Tsk tsk tsk...

All the mud, laundry time is going to be tiring...
