In general, Spyder's "walmart" series are not that well built. They tend to be worse at performance and durability than even their "clone" counterparts. A much better alternatives are the Azodin blitz and Smart Parts Vibe, which cost slightly more, but will perform much better.

Is there any rock climbing around Sitka Alaska?

User Avatar

Asked by Skiflake

No there isn't. The rock is layered and isn't well-suited for climbing. There is plenty of mountaineering in the backcountry, and some of that may include some rock climbing, but it is very difficult and dangerous. There are no established rock climbing routes.

What caliber is a paintball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Very much so. Paintball guns come in .43 .50 and .68 caliber, none of which can be used in place of the other. .50 and .43 caliber has been shown many times to be inferior to the common .68 caliber however. The size/mass/volume/and ballistic coefficient of the .43/50 cal are not able to match the performance that the .68cal is able to produce currently.

Also within the .68 caliber range there are differently manufactured paintballs averaging about .685 but usually range +/- .015.

This paint bore, and its matching to the barrel bore is the most important factor in accuracy: If a ball is smaller than the insides of a barrel (barrel bore) the ball may bounce around inside the barrel as it travels. This will cause in-accuracy. However a ball that is bigger than the barrel bore may break inside the barrel from the friction. It is common belief that finding the proper fit between paint and barrel (paint to barrel match) makes for the best effect.

Are nitrogen paintball tanks refillable?

High pressure air, and all air for that matter, is about 78 percent nitrogen, so it is nicknamed a "nitrogen tank" . So a HPA tank is supposed to be filled with "nitrogen" which is really just air.

Is there a law that limits the noise emitted from a paintball field in Pennsylvania?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your local zoning ordinance may have limitations on noises that are defined as creating a public nuisance. Even without an ordinance, you cannot operate any business that creates a public nuisance if there are people nearby who want to stop it. It is a question of whether the abutters want to sue or have the town/county take action by itself.

How long does a battery on an electric paintball gun last?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends completely on the Paintball gun and how fast you fire it, if you keep it on between games, and the battery voltage and type. I would estimate a 9v in a tippman may last two straight days or so without firing.

Is the vibe a good paintball gun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what your definition of "good" is. The vibe was designed to bring the performance of an electropneumatic down to the price and simplicity level of entry markers. It's a simple and dependable gun that performs very well. It's not as upgradeable as a BT or rough and tough as a tippmann but for entry level speed ball or rec ball its great.

How do you use a paintball fill station?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I assume you mean an HPA fill station.

You connect the fill hose to the fill nipple of your tank by pulling the collar on the fitting at the end of the hose away from the tank, while pushing the fitting towards the tank.

There will be some sort of lever, button, or knob you will push to open the valve to fill your tank. Once the pressure gauge on your tank reaches the "FULL" mark (either 3000 or 4500psi, depending on your tank), you release the button/lever/knobzperiodz

When is paintball season?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Its a personal opinion, but in the winter, you wear more clothes, and gas does not expand as rapidly, so paintballs hurt less. In the summer you wear less, and gas expands more rapidly, so it hurts more, but are generally faster games.
