An honest man with honest reviews. Before I buy my gear I watch this guy.

I would like a paintball field that has low bunkers with one way glass for spectators to watch the action. The other choice is a huge crows nest overlooking the field (again with one way glass) to watch from above. The crows nest could have a snack bar or coffee shop. In lieu of this a cable mounted camera or drone mounted one with the feed going into a viewing room. That way when players are tagged out they could finish watching their team mates win or lose. I suppose it all boils down to money and who would pay to use a paintball field equipped with such gear.

Fall 2003 Bought the Freak Kit 11-12 inch for my Emag. Inserts were next level. Still have the case.

The Shaft 4 barrel from Planet Eclipse is great. Control bore is over 8 inches. I have .679, .683, .687, and .691 came stock.

Love your channel dude. You help me out a lot

Couldn't agree more with "it's about how much you willing to spend on paintball ". yes having a highend marker is nice but not necessary, important part is to get out on the field and play. For the title I would go with something simple that ppl who are new to paintball can find it, like Q&A Paintball

The "pro player" riddle lol

Hi! I'm Brad and I want to welcome you to the "Send Me Questions About Paintball And I'll Answer Them Show!"

Good stuff

Call the show PBQ for Paintball Questions. I do have some questions. 1) When I watch paintball games, I see so many paintballs on the ground. I understand they are bio-safe. How long do these balls break down or do the fields regularly sweep up these balls? 2) I just recently purchased (02/01/2024) a Planet Eclipse LV2 Conquest from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I heard that a mechanical frame trigger cannot be designed for the pop-up valve-type setup like the LV2. Can you explain why? 3) If you don't use your paintball, what is a good practice to improve the storage time of the paintballs? Should we rotate the box or take the balls out of the box and rotate them in the bag? How long can they be preserved? 4) I was told to watch out when buying paintball markers on the internet regarding markers that have hydro dip film. Is there any other painted or cathode coating of paintball markers that will create a problem? 5) Can you give some guidelines in the care and storage of paintball goggles? 6) What type of games are there? Capture the flag which is at the center of the field. Capture the enemy's flag. Any games you found to be fun? 7) Paintball clothing. Are there any clothing that helps in paintball? Some have said some material actually helps minimize paintball busts. Is that true?

Ask the PB Guru??? that Sounds good 😎

Hi love your channel. Been playing a few years and just bought a kaos2. what's a good barrel for it, and what would you upgrade on it first

I say this on every barrel/bore match video I see. Bore matching is not good for consistency. For best consistency you want to over bore or under bore by .003. But you will not be shooting straight unless you shoot good paint, no matter the barrel or bore match.

name it "Paintball Q & A" and have them numbered? just a suggestion. also for the next episode: Is the luxe ICE worth the upgrade if I currently shoot a Luxe OLED?

Stella barrels > parabolic Phi. That said for factory barrels I think dye makes the best barrels available

Damn the enthusiasm levels has changed ALOT

Personally I don't fully agree with the Freak kit being the best. But it is a solid kit for its price.It's what I use to it. Then I switched to a Deadly Winds barrel (still with freak inserts) that was a bit better than just a normal freak kit. But the inserts I have aren't consistent at all. I have ~11 or 12 inserts. 3 of them are duplicates. And neither of the duplicates size the same as the other one. So they aren't fully consistent. Lately I've been using a Phi Parabolic Barrel and loving it. That one is step bore (It starts off one bore straight through and then ends at a .05 bore larger at the end). I've also heard great things about the Stella kit and Lurker Barrels. But you are correct that those will run much more than Freak Kits. So it all comes down to how much the player wants to put into the sport.

Yep. One of those dirty little secrets you don't hear much of at the field. Those aluminum inserts aren't nearly as accurate as people think they are, and they *deform*. Paintballers have no idea what they should be doing with barrel sizing or ball matching. Most of them do it completely wrong.

Olympics - There's been talk about this since before 2000's. Closets to a "main stream" sport was when Fox Sport "covered the "Faux World Cup!"

Overboring your barrel is better in almost every instance. It keeps the paintball seam from easily causing any negative affect when coming out of the barrel.

That would be a good video and no one has done it. I think GOG is better because their bore size is smaller than the empire. Feel like paintballs are getting smaller day by day.

My Empire Dfender came with a 12” barrel that came with .680, .685, and .690 Freak inserts. I like it without the Apex 2 that the marker also came with. However, one day I decided to put a Stiffi 23” .689 carbon fiber barrel on it. The bore is a little bigger than .689 at the muzzle but I can’t remember what. After chrono-ing with the .690 insert, switching barrels, and chrono-ing again, I was shooting about 50 fps higher than with the 12” barrel. I suspect this is because the ball travels more than half the length of the 23” barrel before reaching any porting. Turning down the air output was required to lower the muzzle velocity back down to 285 fps. That means better air efficiency, which is great for long scenario games. I can fire a whole case of paint before running out of air now (77/4500 Ninja SL2 tank). It’s also quieter than any other barrel around on the field. As for effective range and accuracy, it’s not noticeably different. After all, you’re firing a round ball through a smooth bore, so you shouldn’t expect to be “sniping” anyone. I was actually expecting less air efficiency, not more.

a larger bore requires a longer barrel to accelerate. With an underbore you only need about 6 inches which is why the freak XL isnt a very big improvement over the standard freak. Most people agree that the ideal length for the control bore is between 6 and 8 inches while the ideal overall length of the barrel is 14-16 inches. The ideal bore size is .003 smaller than your paint or .003 larger if you are shooting crappy paint. You may also want to try the apex 2 tip set at three clicks. I haven't done any testing, but after playing a couple games it seems like the spin that the apex 2 puts on the ball may help cancel out spin caused by oil on the ball which means better accuracy with oily paint

I have mini gs set up was thinking anout carbon fiber until you spoke about the pros and cons. I fogure i want something that works speedball consistent at 150 feet at least lol

how do you build a gameplan when getting a new layout? and everything else that comes to your mind when thinking about a gameplan?

And how about now? We have so many options. Shaft FL, Freak, LAZR, S63 Pro... you can use it with so many fronts :o

I was dissapointed with my Freak barrel kits, i had the aluminum and steel. Personally i love the Powerlight Scepter kit. I also have a diablo one and thats pretty good.

What guns come ready to use freak inserts with?

How do older markers keep up in the game today?

Inception Design. hands down the best. 8 inch control bore is needed to smooth the ball out. hell Planet Eclipse and Now the new XL Freak is now on Board. I always undersizse my bore and never 1 ball break. but the key is a minimum 8" control bore same for Length 14" to 16" is highly recommended anything over 16" is doing nothing for the ball.

5star is more brittle but in my case tends to have more oval shapes balls

Wondering if anyone can help me out. I am looking for a barrel kit case that can hold the Eclipse Shaft FL Barrel front with all 4 backs. So the 5 piece kit. I bought the kit as an aftermarket kit for my Geo so the Geo case i have doesn't have room for everything. Thank you!

its different for every marker. In electros sweet spotting is tuning the dwell, hpr, and lpr, for the best consistency (at least thats my understanding of it) and sweet spotting a pump should be very similar, just with springs instead of dwell.

@chaseschannel1151

Stainless steel will last longer and is less likely to be damaged. . With tens of thousands of shots eventually the regular kit will wear down and the bore won’t be as tight. Downside is it’s heavier, and pricier.
