What is a good intermediat paintball gun?

there are lots of good options out there in the mid range markers. If you already have a good thermal lens mask, a good hopper and a HPA tank then you are set, if you do not have one or more of those, work on that first. as for what to look into, the invert mini, proto rail and morkal aura are all right around $300 and great markers for the money. others to consider, the DP G4, empire axe and the proto reflex rail

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

What are the numbers in the paintball harness?

Say you have a 3+2+2 pod pack. The first number means that there are 3 main pod compartments. The second number usually means the number of loops you have on top of the main compartments.

How do you dodge a paintball?

OK I know a few tips on how to not get hit in paintball. for one, don't ever where bright colors when you go. You don't want to be the only loser in neon colors because that pretty much telling people you are there and your practically say shoot at me. Another tip is to be aggressive. It may sound dumb as hell but it really isn't. The moment you sit behind cover the whole time and not move, looking out every time is either going to make you an easier target to hit because your not moving, or the rest of your team would get out and then they would bunker you, which isn't fun on your side. One more is that when you go from one bunker to another, don't run while aiming, just sprint to it. There are less chances of you getting hit if you sprint to the bunk then aiming for someone while running. The last tip that I have for you is that when your behind cover, don't just stand up straight looking for someone. Either call out "POSITION" or take quick looks out of your bunker with your gun ready to fire. Other than this, getting hit is part of the game and there is no way to not get hit. Hope this helped.

if you are playing woodsball color does nothing, camo is WAY over-rated, motion is what really gives you away, you could be head to toe in a ghilli suit but if your out there waving your arms around it does no good, I played woodsball for about 3 years with a bright red marker and hopper and nobody found me until i started shooting, not moving makes you very hard to find. Speedball on the other hand, again colors do not matter but there is no hiding in speedball, be aggressive. Nomatter what you do you will eventually get hit, don't be scared its not so bad, wear a few layers and they will soak up a lot of it.

What clothes should you wear for paintball in the summer?

How do you adjust velocity on a JT tac 5 paintball gun?

It is the exact same velocity adjustment style as the Tippmann 98. One the side of the marker there will be a screw that goes into the gun. Get the hexagonal key that fits it and turn it in to decrease and out to increase. What this does is moves a screw physically in the way of the airflow of the shot, causing it to loose energy.

This is slang in paintball for the "snake" bunkers. S1 is the first part of the set of bunkers and S2 is usually towards the middle of the field. Players commonly yell this out to let the rest of the team to let them know where the players are.

gennerally the number refers to the "knuckles" or divisions in the snake rather than a half way point, so s1 is the first knuckle, meaning there is a player behind that, and s2 is the second etc, there can be many knuckles in a snake
