This video I talk about how to make your gun more accurate
First, switch to HPA if you haven't already
A clean spyder will be more accurate than a filthy ego08, so make sure that your loader is spotless, your bolt, breech, detents, eyes, and barrel are also spotless. A clean gun is an accurate gun!
Next is inspect your paint, EXTREMELY important. A clean gun will shoot like this if your shooting paint that is wet with oil, dimpled, flatspotted, or the bag is soup.
Next is always wash your swabs in the washer. Your barrel is only as clean as your swab, so if your swab is dirty and covered in paint and oil, guess what your barrel will be covered in?
Set your gun to factory settings, and overbore your barrels.
My guns are spotless internally, and my guns shoot EXTREMELY accurate on the field, with no broken paintballs, ever
You don't need aftermarket regs and crazy poppet upgrades or boards to make your gun more accurate. Stick with the basics, you'll be surprised what a little attention to your gun will do on the field.
1 drop of paint in your gun = Zero accuracy
Enjoy!
your videos are a big help iv been able to shoot super accurate compared to what i used to shoot new players should watch your vids there very helpful
Overboring doesn't normally work from my experience... I don't see how it would either. The more space in the barrel for the paintball to move the less likely it is to leave the tip at the same spot. Underboring I don't see working too well and it increases the chances of breaking paint, but matching paint to barrel perfectly always works for me =/ Not trying to argue but that's my 2 cents from previous experience.
They are the same, but you can get one with low pressure also, but I suggest you get the high pressure unless you have an old Angel that requires the low pressure.
I have experienced this! I played with my 03 impulse (it was walkon and for kicks) but I JUST cleaned my gun inside and out and SPOTLESS and I was doing target practice with my friend and his ego10, his gun was dirty and my was CLEAN and out of 10 shots at 40 feet away shooting the tip of a pylon I was getting 8 hits VS his 4-5 hits.
Mike speaks TRUTH
Mike's the man!
Just because you have an Ultralite barrel on your marker doesn't mean your paintball gun will always shoot straight. Mike you rock.
Actually these days don't get a .693 barrel LOL.
These days a .687 is an overbore.
wait, there is nitrogen in air? like in compressed air?
good advise, its not ALWAYS length that gives you more accuracy, its a optimum paint to barrel match will give you more accuracy
barrels that are slightly "over bored" shoot well, but if it is too much of a difference it's good to have different size backs.
Probably the most accurate barrel you will ever shoot will be a counterbored barrel. Angel uses this strategy on some of their stock barrels, hammerhead caught on to it. Basically the barrel increases in bore size toward the end.
He is so much help in each video he makes. Really appreciate the help, thanks. I hope it solves the problems i'm having with my mr2
perfect. this is exactly what i've found while playing. for about 4 weeks this summer my gun was broken and i ended up using the rental bt-4's at the field and i actually swabbed out their feedneck, used my hopper, and then took a spray bottle to the inside of the barrel and then swabbed it, and even with a rental bt-4 i could keep up with everybody else on the woodsball field
Hey I actually bought this after some intensive review searching a couple months ago. I use it on my DP FX and using the stock barrel it made a very noticeable difference. I can't say it is worth $100 for the 6 piece which is what I got but if you don't want a full barrel kit or a bunch of different full bored barrel go for it. I ended up getting a .685 MF Stiffi but still use the IFit with it. Shoots pretty damn nice even with cheap "Spectrum" paint.
a proper barrel to paint match makes no difference if your gun is filthy
Anytime you want to play for guns, let me know. I'd love to have another Ion to throw into the Ion box
For example, most paintballs are .689. They can vary from brand to brand, and you can usually find the particular make you're buying online (just search "paintball bore size"). As well, you can find the bore size for most BARRELS the same way. GL
He says the thing about overboring in this video. I wish he'd write in comment that he's completely changed his advice on this in the last few years.
The outside shell will spin possibly, but the inside fill will not. Real bullets are solid, and they don't vary as much in size so the rifling can be fit better, deeper, etc.
it depends on how often you play.
$20 Co2 bottle, plus $5 dollars every time you need a fill = $120 for 20 fills
decent hpa bottle plus 25 cents and sometimes free air = $95 for 20 fills
Ill tell you some useful information, distance in feet per second depend on the settings on your paintball marker. You will notice a huge difference between using low grade paint and using high performance paint. Low end paint does affect accuracy, even if your equipment is lubed, cleaned, spotless, as soon as the paintball leaves your barrel, the accuracy depends on the quality and roundness of the paint. The better rounded, high quality paint you shoot, the better your accuracy is.

mike your advice has literally saved my ass more than once
Thanks for this video. i never thought to clean my hoppers raceway. made a noticeable difference
What do you think about the shaft3 and shaft4 .693 barrels on the older ego's? I have an ego 9
i got into paintball last Novemebr and i can honestly say my games has come a tremendously long way from watching these videos....
The length probably doesn't affect accuracy at all, if i'm correct, the ball only touches the 1st 10 inches of the barrel. For example: the freak kit bore inserts are only a few inches long.
negative
they already have, and it doesnt work
get a truflight from ebay, or armson, works horrible
depends on the price obviously, ions arent great stock, if you fiddle around with them they can be worth using. Get the SLG if you are on a budget
actualy if you overbore when the paintball is push out of the breach, it could leave the barrel being at the top, bottom, or either side of the barrel while its inside, so that means the last shot is going to be in a different place than the last
The only Tippmann I'd recommend would be the crossover. Anything else will either become a money pit that you just keep throwing dollars at to look more and more like a real gun (none of which help your game) or you'll want to replace it after 6 months. Try some other markers at the local field, people are usually okay with letting you try to shoot their markers. Check out Crossovers, Minis, Rails, Reflexes, Ethas, Axes, Eteks. They can be had for cheap used and will dominate any 98 or A5.
It's worth it but only if you tune it right...
Google up about tuning a tippmann flatline barrel, it needs setting up to shoot right.
i have had my mini for about 3 months used it about 20 times, took a little bit to get used to and had some bad chronos with first 3000 rounds, but amazingly its all better now. i highly recommend the mini, just before playing in any Big games, shot a case through it right after you get it. also if your much bigger than 6 3 then look at something else cause the guns too small. ultimately i Love my mini, and highly recomend it.
replace the detents
I want to upgrade to HPA but there isn't a place that fills them where i live
Same for me that's the only reason I'm still using co2
Continuation of previous comment: Of course at 5 and ten yards the shot group is tighter as with a real firearm but as I approached 15 yards it was obvious that the group was spreading quickly and scattering all over the man sized target. It seems like at about 15 yards there was no telling where the ball would hit. Again, new gun out of the box. New balls, Air tank tight. Lubed.
thanks for the advice.. yea it is just a deal on two markers under 150 bucks.. and just wondered if i should get one or either.. thanks again!!
I have a empire axe and I'm looking at putting a new barrel on it what do you recommend?
i use a dye 15" boomstick barrel
it means to get a barrel that is significantly bigger than your paint..such as if your stock barrel is a .687 barrel upgrade to a bigger bored CP classic .693 barrel and it should shoot better depending on what paint you usually use
idk if u still have the problem, but find ur velocity adjuster and turn it counter clock wise
i live in ottawa, canada. Yes i get it filled at a paintball store/field. HPA is cheaper than c02 because all they need for hpa is a compressor that compresses the air and fills up your tank.
paintballs have different sizes; .683 too as big as .695 i may be off with those numbers but im in the average range. paintball barrel backs (where the paintballs first enter) have a the opening with a certain size or "bore" paintballs CAN change size and can become bigger you want to overbore so the paintball rolls out DONT BOTHER BUYING AN INSERT KIT just buy One barrel with a .693 bore out all high end markers overbore Ego: .693 DM9 .692. Luxe .693
Not all of the 4500 psi goes into the marker. The tank has an output pressure of either 800 psi or 450 psi depending on which one you want. Then, on most guns, it enters a regulator to lower the pressure even further whether for efficiency or other reason. Most guns now of days are low pressure, unless you're shooting an Automag. (no problems with that)
I got a Alpha Black Tactical Egrip for like 170$ on Amazon with a low profile cyclone feeder which costs like $6 compared to the pinokio hoppers and the halos. It works awsome but a bit heavy. If you buy it, get a remote coil because the gun+a HPA tank weighs a ton.
i heard enough. he knows his stuff. as a former reff i can vouch for this guy
I've learned that the size of the bore should be small enough that if you put a ball in your barrel it shouldn't roll out. However if you blow into it (like a blow dart gun) the ball should come out easily (you shouldn't go red in the face blowing air into the barrel). That being said is that the "over-bore" you speak of?
thanks
also where do you live and do you get your tanks filled at a paintball store or a scuba shop
@konflictkalls take your tipp... how long have you had it? how much does it weigh? how long does it take to break it down and clean it?.... ive had my oldest spyder since 1999, with the only problem being the occasional ball break, which was solved with a force feeder. it weighs 3 pounds w/ barrel. and takes 5 to 10 mins to COMPLETELY strip and clean. i guarantee you it uses less air and will pump out just as much, if not more paint, at the same, if not better accuracy as your tipp
well sometimes if you fire too fast, the balls dont have chance to drop from the hopper to the barrell fully, so when you fire, the ball isnt completely in the barrell, so a lot of air/CO2 gets past the ball and reduces pressure a lot.
its not really bad for it, it just improves accuracy, and makes the velocity consistant, use CO2 for now, just upgrade when you get the money to
Also, if you still thinking about it I am planning on putting mine on ebay just because I plan on getting another Stiffi and won't have the need for all of the bore sizes. Let me know if you're interested.
mike i have followed your advice and ive only broken one ball in 3 years and that was before i followed your advice
tippmann 98 c's are capable of using HPA, next time you go out to your field use one of their HPA tanks. also(for future reference) try to get atleast one regulator on your setup, most likely your tank, because then your shot will be more consistent therefore more accurate. im guessin your a woodsball guy, the SP-1 is a great woodsball gun and is electropneumatic, which means it comes with a regulator aswell as an electronic grip.
what is most accurate gun for $300
@plawtt just bought an a5. played a few games with it. im happy so far
thesevideoes have helped me so much in accuracy and how to understand the inerds of my guns
does it hurts ?
yeah, you can put your barrel in hot water, but clean it out with a CLEAN squeegee, this way no water spots are in it that could effect the accuracy
@nycrc personally, i'd choose between a mini or g3 only because the g4 and g3 are practically the same. but the g3 is cheaper and i think it looks nicer than the g4. but i'd say just go with a mini. easy to maintain, and its got no macroline.
@theaterrox96 cp 14" definitely flatline isnt made for accuracy at close or far range it just extends the reach of you shot giving you a chance to get someone out but also at far range if you do hit at that far range first theres a major chance the ball wont bust and thats basically it if you want to know more message me
i have a tippmann custom 98 with flatline with co2 first time i use it, it sucks then i upgrade to n2 air systems and it still sucks, and i clean my gun in and out and it still sucks then i sprayed silicone oil in to the barrow and that made the gun more accurate some how, its OK to lube your barrow , it helps the ball to slip out the barrow more quicker so it doesnt grip the ball to spin in random ways! Thats what i found out about the flat line, only silicone oil nothing else!
These videos are great :)
Keep up the good work.
yea I know I've bought quite a few boxes from stryker and some boxes are great and others aren't so great. I still buy it because it's 2ce as cheep as everything else. i don't play tournaments or anything or take it to the airball field i just use it for woodsball. i think it shoots fine for a 7 dollar box of paint.
if you have played a few times, want to get in the sport...WHATS YOUR BUDGET, do you have other equipment (like mask, loader, tank)
Hey Mike what is the difference in performance between 2 piece and 1 piece barrels?
It's funny because someone actually did scientific testing (Punkworks) that proved underboring is more accurate and doesn't break balls if the barrel is withing .008 of the paint's size.
i upgraded from co2 and its awesome thanks mike
what marker is that on your table and is the barrel stock?
an ion is a great rookie tourny gun.. pretty durable, but one thing that i got annoyed about.. the trigger is completely horrible... one time while i was playing, the stock trigger just broke in half.. so if you get the ion, think about gettin a new trigger pretty soon after you buy the ion
4500psi tank should give u the potential to shood a higher bps cuz theres more pressure so the gun could cycle faster. im not sure wether or not a 45 would mak ur marker more accurate.
Hey TechPb, when you said do the accuracy test at home. Is that how you wash your barrels? Rinse in warm water?
how much is the SLG
there are several reason as toy it could b innacurate. 1 the internals and the related area is not clean. so open it up and clear her out. Next, be sure that the drive spring isnt bent or something like that. messed up compments cause problems. finally get a compressed tank and that should solve the problem. if that doesnt work, push the velocity nut in
Alright thanks man, I think you just saved me quite a bit on money, I 'm saving for a new hopper, my EGG2 is slowly degrading :D
hey mike
I have a question
you say too much lube is not good
because it is running in to your barrel and blablabla :D
but paintballs are very greasy from the oil in the bag right
so is it a good ide to clean the paintballs before you start playing ?
( LOVE your video's dude )
Hey mike how do you like that speed feed? Is it good?
Depends, what do you want in scenario paintball accuracy.
and wash your goddamn squeegee's!!! haha that cracked me up
i know! people don't understand why i use stryker paint for recball. its dirt cheap and 3 times less that the other stuff! try it out. not as bad as you think and paintball is a LOT more fun when your not as concerned about the money your spending
@rameywrestles no! dont over bore a flatline... they are SUPER paint sensitive.. its going to be a huge trial and error with a good paint size. if you like that back spin, my suggestion is to get a strait barrel, and get an apex attachment... not so paint sensitive, and its adjustable XD
no I have one it's a view loader and a Spyder Pilot ACS and it's very accurate when it's cleaned out
thanks bob, Thinking about getting the G4.
does having compressed air really make that much of a difference with accuracy on the a5?
Has anyone noticed that when you go to buy some paint and you inspect to make sure you don't have a broken ball in a bag, that you notice that there are some oil spots in the bag? Not breaks, but actual oil that they use to coat the paintballs. Just a thought...
omg when i went from c02 to compressed air..i noticed the accuracy big time....it was like almost unbelieveable..another thing i noticed is that hpa guns are able to to be more consistent like shoot faster.
i know this is off kilter, but i do think that you know what you are talking about , ive watched all your vids.. heres the thing i am going to purchase another marker today.. evil pimp - or smart parts shocker.. which was should i go??? i know the shocker is a gas hog, and issues with the eyes.. what is your opinion.. i will make my decision based on that .. THANKS sorry its off topic
is there a certain way to clean your barrel swab? thanks
Actually.. Most pumps could run a dummy 12 gram to an HPA tank. Your right about the C3. I was refering to some of the older ones, such as the Tippmann 68 Special. Those required a Syphon tank(Liquid CO2)to achieve a good velocity. The Montneels also needed a Syphon tank. Tell me how your going to get liquid HPA?
@manof30 yeah, but you're probably gonna wanna upgrade from a spyder fast, so why not save a little more and get something better that you wont get tired of fast, it dosnt have to be $300 its not hard to find an azodin or an ion for around the same price.....thats my opinion but i understand you're point of view:)
Mike you are the voice of common sense which sadly no longer exists in today's paintball community....Hell why would anyone NOT clean their shit after a day of use? I just dont get it. Rock on Mike.
If you ever have time, would you be able to do a CO2 vs HPA with the same gun, for a demo so your viewers could see the difference the two different types of tanks make on accuracy?? Thanks!
where is the best place to refill or purchase a tank? Do you have any preference towards a hopper and barrels?
really? thats weird. do you have any local fields or stores?
@paintslayer1995 What you can do is watch Mike's legend review. As for the BPS question, no. You do not "require" a fast gun for speedball. There are many people who play speed/hyper/air ball with pumps. It's not required, but it's definitely recommended.
aim a little to the right
It would travel slower having over-bore, more air would rush past the ball because of the tiny gap. Might not be much, but i'd think the velocity would suffer.
I dont have enough money to buy a scuba tank though so how will i fill the tank
y would u use a scuba tank u dumbass
You should review the Deadlywind NULL barrel, they have a straightbore barrel out now.
I think am gonna buy one of these hmmm!
thanks for the explanation bro.
the rifling doesnt do much but I have one and it's amazingly accurate. I have it on my A-5.
BattleStixx are amaing! If i were you I'd get a Mofo tho. Those are sick.
Hey Mike, will the Freak .693 insert work good until I get a 1 piece 693 barrel? I'm a little low on money at the moment :P
the spools are usually the most accrurate like the dye and luxe are the most accurate guns but dye DM9 Iron Men Edition is the best gun in the world in my opinion.
You just put the hpa tank on instead of the co2. HPA is just compressed air, does the same thing as co2 but is less affected by the air temperature surrounding the tank.
