What is the best sniper scope to use with a Tippmann A5?

Generally without high quality paint-to-barrel match or first strike rounds, Magnifying scopes are near useless. A red dot or reflexive sight is preferred, but a low power 2X scope would be the best if you really wanted a cross-hair scope.

Maximum range in paintball is largely considered 150ft or 50yards, nothing that you would need a magnifying scope for are you can easily see that far with your eyes alone. Beyond that, paintballs are not the most accurate things either so even with really good paint and a really good barrel, a crosshair scope will only be telling you where the paint "might" go. The only way I would recomend a crosshair scope or magnification is if you are using first strike rounds as they will be more accurate and give you more range

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

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?

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?

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

How many fps do paint ball guns shoot?

paintballs can travel very far a straight horizontal shot @ 300fps(no apex, or flatline) could probably reach 125-140 ft. After that you can arc your shots by little incriments that will increase the range by alot. When the barrel is at a 38ish degree arc @ 295-300fps the paintball can actually reach 300 feet. A first strike paintball can actually reach 500 feet when arched correctly. also everytime you arc your barrel you can make a longer shot by at least 10 to 25 feet down range!! test it out

Is it ok to lube your paintball airtank?

Whatever you do, dont use rem-oil, any other oil made for real firearms or aerosol sprays, they will eat away the o-rings and wear out the paintball gun. Use oil made for paintball guns or air tool oil. a paintball gun is essentially and air tool. the easiest way is to put 6 or so drops of oil into the place where you screw in the tank, then screw in the tank and fire a few shots. you dont need paint to do this.

You should use only manufacturer-recommended lubricant for your gun. Your gun's owners manual should tell you how to lubricate the gun. If youdon't have it then youcan go to their website.

The best paintball oil is Gold Cup oil and the best grease is Gold Cup Final Solution grease.
