Best Defunct Paintball Companies?

Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, I’m coming to you live from my space in Sacramento to dive deep into a mix of modern gear drama and heavy paintball nostalgia. First up, we have to talk about the Adrenaline Luxe AIRE saga. Adrenaline debuted their custom version of the AIRE and the internet absolutely lost its mind—and not in a good way. I break down the community backlash, why they completely scrapped the initial design, and look at the AIRE's updated features like the anti-bounce breech geometry and micro-ported barrel tip. Then, we take a trip down memory lane with a massive tier list of defunct paintball companies. With help from the chat, we rank the absolute best old-school brands that are no longer with us. I’m breaking down the history and legacy behind iconic names like Diablo, Draxxus, Zap, Chronic, Nelson, and RP Schere. We wrap things up talking about the ultimate paintball video game, Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball, and look at how standalone pro events could shape the future of the NXL webcast landscape.
