Mag-Fed Monthly Issue 4 | Page 30

These three players took their paintball career from MIB Las Vegas, the first pistol only team in the United States, and rekindled a dormant MIB team with two originals to begin domination.

Mag-fed paintball, at this time, was still very new only having Tiberius Arms, Rap4, Milsig, and Scarab Arms. The sport started growing rapidly with new companies coming out with revolutionary markers. The originals, noticing an evolution in the sport, knew they had to evolve with it.

Knowing they needed to run more than only pistols, they started looking at rifle platforms. Becoming sponsored by Tiberius Arms, they prepared to run the new T15. The MIB originals did not want to change what they were. Jesus, Hector and Cody broke away forming the Black Kings. This new team started to grow.

Black Kings recruited two new members. One being Stephen “Pest” Walls.

Starting out in the airsoft world, he saw the Black Kings playing one day. Wanting to know more about mag-fed paintball, he joined the team. Proving that his skills in airsoft would crossover into paintball, he adapted quickly.

Running only a pistol for a year, Pest began using the Tiberius Arms T4. The T4 expanded his play style to designated marksman. He hopes to leave his mark in the upcoming event Decay of Nations.

The second member, Garrett "Thumbz” Dodger; starting paintball in California with the team Wolf Knives. Moving to Las Vegas not too long ago, he meet up with the Black Kings.

After leaving Wolf Knives he joined Black Kings and changed his load out. From ACU soft gear and a tournament marker, to a Tiberius T8.1 where he honed his skills. Garrett has also brought another valuable asset, aside from his skills, to Black Kings.
