What's so great about these videos is that you never feel like you're being spoken down to. They're relatable, they're easily watched, and the language used is the way we all speak to one another.
For length I agree 14" in my opinion is the best all around size. I personally like a 16". The air consumption is almost the same, but the sound is slightly quieter due to a little more porting, plus since I aim down the side of the barrel the tip is 2" closer to the target thus resulting in me being slightly more accurate.
Your videos are way better now. Not on the quality of the content, but on your behavior. You're more open and charismatic now; you make it more entertaining for us. I found this channel and it amuses it, thank you and great job.
Learning a lot from This channel. Needed it since I'm fairly new. Helped me decide on my gtek.

yeah, it's a good pattern
One of my barrels is Stiffi carbon fiber 23" barrel XD. I saw it on sale and thought "Surrrre, why not?" I use it when there are a lot of new players because it's challenging to take cover in small places. I'd like to eventually get a Dye DAM to put it on + two extra handguard pieces and a box Rotor or magazines, whichever I'm feeling. And voila! A full length medium machine gun or full length rifle. Perfect for huge games.
As an addition to the padding question. Cup, Cup, Cup. Or cover your berries with your pods.
AGD Automags also like higher pressures, because the regulator is integrated into the bolt operation. They're rated up to 3000 PSI, but the higher Spyder/Tippman pressures work OK. The cycle rate and trigger return are a direct function of pressure. "That Paintball Channel" has some good info on this.

Output pressure won't change how far into the tank you can go, regulators control peak pressure, where if the pressure is high enough it will close the valve in the system(spring stiffness dictates how much pressure is required to isolate the output from the input side), when a tank gets low it does not have enough pressure to "close" the output side and internal volume of the tank at that point the valve is constant open being that there isn't enough pressure to close it. Marker operating pressure will dictate how far into a tank you can go. A lower tank regulator will just make the marker regulator work not quite as hard and may save a little bit on orings, lower pressure differential will lower the speed at which the regulator returns to set pressure, but this is usually a pretty negligible change due to flow restrictions in the regulators themselves, but most if not all inline regulators are designed to be able to handle input pressures in the ~850psi range(and a decent bit above for safety), CO2 safe regulators usually have an over-pressure relief built into them just in case some liquid CO2 gets into them and expands in the reg body. Now on stuff like the old LP angels, the inline regulator wasn't designed for input pressures over 400psi, and would actually cause the regulator to not function properly. 16inch freak barrel autococker army :)
I have a cup with compressions shorts and the cup isn't super uncomfortable but it is a little bit. I don't really want to spend 50 dollars on sliders though, what foam should I get to cover myself and add good protection?
The PE Gtek 160 R is still $800 and the Shocker RSX is $700. So you'll save $100 if somebody is considering Both. I Recently purchased the Shocker and I am in love with it, all of my friends never had a single issue with them. They shoot smooth and are super easy to maintain. At the end of the day you can't go wrong with both....

Samatosh Well since you already held and shot a regular Gtek you already know what they feel like in the hands. I would recommend going to your local paintball shop and hold the Shocker in your hands. Some people think that the shocker is too small for them if you have big hands....me personally I'm a big guy and the shocker feels great in my hands. It's really light and shoots great. I would recommend the Shocker, but the Gtek 160 R is a good choice too.

Thanks, I live kinda far from the nearest proshop but for a 700$ marker I'll go down and see if they've got it. I've hear a lot about the Shocker being small and light, but my hands aren't very big and I run and gun up on the front lines a lot so don't want a heavy marker. Since the Gardner brothers are dickheads and I already know I love the Gtek it's a hard decision, thanks again.

Is a cup worth dealing with on the paintball field? Some say they wouldn’t play without and others say they can’t stand them.
I was wondering what might happen if you were to use oil instead of grease on a spool bolt. I did it on my proto rail and want to know if I should be prepared for anything. Thanks -Dan
@PaintballRuinedMyLife
7 жыл бұрын
Nothing crazy will happen, the gun just might not work well. Grease is used because these guns require a lot of lubrication, oil will work but is so lightweight it just shot out of the front of the gun very quickly.
if you add a volume chamger to older markers you can use them at lower pressures with the velocity up
Yeah, but also as an old speedball player, I could shot faster than 10 balls a second, so I turn my ramping down to only 8 balls a second to save paint and to stop over shooting, it’s a two finger thing that speed ballers never get over doing when under fire.

@ashravenpb
6 жыл бұрын
I assume you mean fps and not psi (fps is how fast the paintball is traveling) If your velocity is maxed out at 240 then you need to get a spring kit and use a stiffer spring. The cronus used a5 barrel threads, but not all a5 barrels will work. The best a5 barrels that are compatible with the cronus are CP one piece and J&J ceramic. Rifled barrel are generally crap and usually perform worse than smooth bore barrels

Does it matter on an axe? I can adjust the output on the asa so do I really need a lower output tank?
@PaintballRuinedMyLife

On the Axe you don't need a low pressure tank, but it would probably be a littler better. Think about a tank as feeding the gun air, if you tank is outputting 450PSI (low pressure) it is easier for the regulator to regulator from 450PSI to 180PSI (Axe pressure) than it is to go from 750PSI (high pressure) to 180PSI. You should also just set the regulator on the Axe at 180PSI and leave it, do all your velocity adjust through the back on the bolt.
