    Plate carrier and plates

    you said ceramic plates are prone to cracking. one of the definitions of prone is likely to happen. so you clearly didn't say it is unlikely. you stated this is a likely problem based on your word selection. the attempt to clarify later for a home user this is not likely doesn't change what you...

    Re-anodizing?

    Never seen it done with type 3, but I played competitive paintball for years and have had many markers redone. The dimensions and tolerances for the markers being used were probably tighter than for a lower, and I never had any problems. There is not a lot of color options for type 3. If its...
