Paintball gun question - Question about a Velocity adujuster on the Piranha Evo?

Yes. Should be on the back, just underneath the cocking bolt. Should be a little dial with a hex screw in it. Loosen the hex screw and turn the knob. When you get the velocity you want, tighten the hex screw back down.

I would just order direct from the company  http://www.airsoft.com/  or try E-Bay http://search.ebay.com/airsoft-m4a1-electric_W0QQfkrZ1QQfnuZ1\nAirsoft started out strictly for law enforcement & military training, then realized they could make more money if they sold it similar to "paint ball" there are groups all over the country that play airsoft, so yeah, most of their products are good. also note the one you are looking at, the BOYI - M4A1 R.I.S appears to be discontinued, so if something went wrong you may have a hard time getting it fixed

If you're new to paintball, stay away from the Ion and go with a Tippmann. Tippmanns are durable and very low maintenance. Plus they make tons of upgrades for them.\n\nIons are not a good choice for a beginning player.

First of all, length of the barrel has little to do with accuracy. It's more about the quality and consistency of the bore, and the size and quality of the balls. It also has some to do with the consistency of your gun, but there isn't much you can do to change that except for an expansion chamber or the use of an HPA tank with regulator.\n\nIf the ball is too small or too big for your barrel, it has a low chance of shooting straight. If the paint has dimples or bumps in it, or a broken ball in the bag or the barrel, it will also shoot poorly.\n\nNext time you play, try some other people's paint in your barrel. If you put it in, it should have 2-3 points of contact with the barrel and you should be able to blow the ball through it with ease.\n\nIf most of the balls in the sample you test have these attributes, that's a good kind of paint to use. Paint can still be inconsistent from box to box so don't expect ideal results every time.\n\nAlso, unless you plan on sticking your barrel through thick brush or need to push into airball bunkers, you wont get much of a performance benefit from a 16 inch barrel.\n\nSome more things:\n\nRusty is sadly mistaken on a few things in his post.\n\n\nFirst, you have to see what kind of threads the barrel you want to buy has. A barrel that will fit a 98 custom will not fit your Orion. It will not fit the A-5 either. You cannot get a flatline for your gun unless it is modified from the original. You can, however, get a BT Apex barrel. It is a straight barrel but has a part on the tip that adds adjustable backspin. If I could suggest any good, cheap barrel to you, it would be any Lapco barrel in your price range. They rarely disappoint.\n\nI'm pretty sure VL guns can take spyder threaded barrels but I could be wrong. Make sure that someone else's spyder barrel can screw into the gun no problem. Do not force anything.\n\n\nAs for the pros. They don't all use Boomsticks. Heck, I don't think any pro team uses them anymore. They mostly use the barrels that came with their guns, because manufacturers' "best" guns usually come with the best barrels they make.\n\nAnd Dye certainly does not make the best barrels on the market. That trophy would have to go Glenn Palmer.

I have an air soft gun, but I think that a paintball gun would be better because you can see where your shot landed and you get to splat things with paint.

It REALLY depends on cost, and if we're talking semi, or auto.  The Tippmann A-5 is about the fastest shooter you get for you money.  You also NEVER have issues with clogging with the A-5.

For $200, i would recomend the spyder pilot. It is around $100-$140. Its is an electric marker and will give you a chance to get the feel of walking the trigger. In semi-automatic mode, it is capped at 20 balls per second. In fully automatic mode, it is capable of 13 balls per second. If you interested in dead acuracy, and about 5 balls per second, the Tippmann is right for you. Any tippmann is fine really. Hope i helped in your decision.

the best kind is the tippmann 98 custom.  you can customize the crap out of it and still get more than your money's worth in accuracy.  plus it would be a mega gun that can compete with and costs less that an autococker.  Ive got a flatline barrel and stock on mine and i get really good performance out of it

It depends on what type of play you are into.  \n\n1.  Outdoor/recball (woods or indoor buildings)\n\n- you can go a few routes here.  Tipman makes the 98 custom which is a TANK!  rarely breaks down and shoots fairly accurate.  Spyder makes markers as well and some that are knock off electro's.  If you are in this group, stick with these two brands.\n\n2. Speedball/Xball/Hyperball/Tourny.\n\n- Here is where you dump all your money.... Electro is the only way to go here seeing as even the auto cockers have e-blades.  You will want to go with an N tank instead of C02 which is a dirty air fluid.  Then you will want a fast hopper because the marker will want to shoot fast, so the hopper has to keep up.  I shoot a Feather light Viking.  Angles are ok but cheaply made and mass produced.  Dye makes great DM4 , 5 , and 6's  I would stay away from Bob Long intimidators... they are outdated.\n\n\nAnd for pumps... go with the dudes down the street from me in Oregon... CCI Phantom Pumps are the best in the market!

put the wamadet in the watsname while its reloading press the thingmajig when it starts swagging hit the jiggerypocky button if that dont work get the manual no need to email me for any thanks my pleasure

that is true.  if you dont like that then get a responase trigger kit.  it uses excess co2 to power the trigger and gets faster than the egrip.  plus it is cheaper

It depends on what caliber you're using, and how far the target is.\nLike I told someone on another question. If you're going by what the manufacturer says, that's wrong. Manufactures ALWAYS \nEXAGGERATES what the gun actually shoots. It's called "marketing." They know if they say a gun will shoot 1000fps,  people with NO experience with airguns will buy that gun. They also use the lightest pellets to get those numbers, and when using light pellets you loose accuracy.\n\nDo you have a Chronograph that you have used to test the velocity of your gun? That is the only way to tell what your gun\nactually shoots. This is what you need if you want to test velocity:\nhttp://www.straightshooters.com/navagationpages/precisionequipmentselections.html\n\nAlso, what is the weight of the pellets you're going to use?\nThat also makes a diffrence.\nIf I were you I would use at least a .22 pellet, not a .177.\nYou're just going to piss it off.

i'm sorry that u even heard the name of that gun.\nit is a peice pf poop.\n\nu should go for somethign like a tippmann or an autococker

I gotta go with the first one.  I forget the name, but it was designed to mark cows.  It started the sport...that's pretty important!!\n\nI gotta give credit to the orignal Spyder.  While crude by today's standards, it definately brought paintball to the masses.  It was cheap and reliable.  Without the Spyder, I'm not sure paintball would be half the sport it is today.\n\nAs far as the most advanced... well, I'm poor and never had the priviledge of shooting high-end markers.  So, no comment :)

The muzzle velocity of the paint ball gun is higher. \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzzle_velocity

I would go with either a spyder or a tippman.  I started playing with a Tippmann SL-68II (Pump) and then moved up to a Spyder (Classic).  Both guns are easy to maintain and are durable.  good thing about tippmann is that you can bang it up a tree and still works fine. bad thing about tippman's is the fact that they are heavy.\n\nI would recommend you going with a mech semi instead of a Electronic Semi.  here are the reasons\n\nPros : easy to maintain, easier to troubleshoot.\nCons : doesn't shoot as fast as as E-Semi, harder to troubleshoot & Maintain.\n\nDon't worry about shooting fast right now.  the first thing you should learn is to conserve gas & paint.  those were the lessons that were taught to me by some pros.  when you learn to conserve your gas & paint, it will make you work on your accuracy.  I've been playing for 10+ years and the only time I go trigger happy is when i'm in a tourny.\n\nThe team that the guy meantion about is Tippmann Effect.  Even though they are using 98 Custom, those are modified 98's.  they are lighter and shoot faster than a stock.

do not use that!   use paintball marker oil at a paintball gun store...dicks sporting goods should have it
