Using Camo Netting for Paintball and Hunting?

Sports and games change as the years go on. Tag turns into hide and seek and man hunt transformed into paintball tournaments. As each game transforms into a sport, so does the equipment to match with the changes. One major change is being able to hide yourself. Most people use make-up or they may even use a spray to cover their scent. The best way to hide is to blend in like a chameleon. Camouflage netting, or camo netting as some people may call it, is one of the best ways to achieve this tricky skill. Camo gear and netting also has many uses in the great outdoors as well.

When playing paintball, for example, you will use a lot of trees, hidden bunkers and ropes to hide from opponents. Some people use these things to their advantage. They would take the camo netting and cover their bunker to make their nest blend in with the environment that is around them. Some will go a step further and even add dead leaves to the netting to blend in even more with their surroundings. Others use the camo netting as armor to protect themselves. By covering yourself with the netting and hiding in trees or bushes you can provide yourself with a chameleon look. Also, it can make it harder for you to get covered in paint from your opponents' guns. The netting gets covered in paint, but your uniform remains as clean as a whistle. The referee can not say you got shot if you do not have any paint on you.

In hunting, camouflage is very important for the success of your outing. Animals have very keen sight, and if something looks out of place, they are not going to just sit there idly while someone is pointing a rifle at them. Using camo netting on your rifle reduces the sun's glare and covering yourself makes it harder for the animal to actually see where you are firing from. In the end, you have more of a chance of getting that twelve point buck than the guy who is wearing a basic hunting suit.

How many grams are in CO2?

It depends on the size of CO2 tank. The smallest is the 12 gram cartridge. This is for pistols. it continues to 9 oz tanks, 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz.

What does it take to switch from c02 to compressed air?

a HPA tank, every marker currently produced (and every marker that has been produced for a LONG time) that will work on CO2 will also be fine on HPA. the output pressure of a standard high pressure HPA tank is around 750-800 psi, and the output on your co2 tank is right around 800 so it is a direct swap, id recomend getting a 68/4500 HPA tank, it will give you about the same amount of shots as a 20oz CO2

What paintball brands are good quality and will not chop paint?

A ball chop is caused by the bolt cutting off part of a ball against the feed neck, because it has shot before the ball has fallen in.

There are many brands with mechanical anti-chop systems like the Tippmann ACT orSpyder ACS which work well most of the time. These work with a series of springs that decrease the bolt power when disputed, allowing the bolt to be weak enough not to destroy the ball.

The best Anti-chopping mechanism is found on electric guns, called an "eye" it shoots a small beam of light across the breech, where the ball sits. If there is no ball in yet, and the beam is complete, the gun will not fire until the ball is in place. If the beam is disrupted by the ball fully in the chamber, then it will fire. Almost every marker with electronic triggers has an eye, except for Tippmann's, Spyder MR series, and other cheap electronic sear trippers.

Paintball hurts MUCH more than airsoft. The reason that Paintball hurts more than Airsoft is because the speed of the paintball is faster and the mass is also larger.

Now, when you figure that Paintball markers have much greater speed than an Airsoft gun, you will find that Paintball will and should hurt more.

With an Evil Omen 2.0 paintball gun can you switch gas types from compressed air to co2?

It is possible to convert a gun from compressed air to CO2 and vise versa. However it is not a very good idea. In most cases it can be bad for the gun and/or lower your guns overall performance. One of the main problems with switching form air to CO2 though is that the CO2 molecule is much larger than most of the ones in air, so therefore it needs larger pipes leading from the reservoir to the chamber of the gun.

thats not entirely true, while it is possible to run any marker on CO2 for most of them the cost of modifying it to do so is much more than just buying a HPA tank. Your Omen is a HPA only marker meaning it would be more expensive to modify it to be able to use CO2 than it would to buy a HPA tank
