Best Paintball Barrel Lengths

[@leatherlung]

What's so great about these videos is that you never feel like you're being spoken down to. They're relatable, they're easily watched, and the language used is the way we all speak to one another.

[@cbb6278]

For length I agree 14" in my opinion is the best all around size. I personally like a 16". The air consumption is almost the same, but the sound is slightly quieter due to a little more porting, plus since I aim down the side of the barrel the tip is 2" closer to the target thus resulting in me being slightly more accurate.

[@ing.dannycolcha9131]

Your videos are way better now. Not on the quality of the content, but on your behavior. You're more open and charismatic now; you make it more entertaining for us. I found this channel and it amuses it, thank you and great job.

[@hansolo9413]

Dude that shirt is blowing my mind. Extra points!

[@SpaceMissile]

yeah, it's a good pattern

[@ZEB0V]

One of my barrels is Stiffi carbon fiber 23" barrel XD. I saw it on sale and thought "Surrrre, why not?" I use it when there are a lot of new players because it's challenging to take cover in small places. I'd like to eventually get a Dye DAM to put it on + two extra handguard pieces and a box Rotor or magazines, whichever I'm feeling. And voila! A full length medium machine gun or full length rifle. Perfect for huge games.

[@Wangpi3ce]

As an addition to the padding question. Cup, Cup, Cup. Or cover your berries with your pods.

[@TytoMobile]

AGD Automags also like higher pressures, because the regulator is integrated into the bolt operation. They're rated up to 3000 PSI, but the higher Spyder/Tippman pressures work OK. The cycle rate and trigger return are a direct function of pressure. "That Paintball Channel" has some good info on this.

[@JoeGanja]

Learning a lot from This channel. Needed it since I'm fairly new. Helped me decide on my gtek.

[@FMLNSALVI]

Awesome, thank you for answering my regulator pressure question. Essentially get a mid pressure range reg and remove shims as needed for a electronic mid price range marker. Thanks!

[@ashravenpb]

An 800 psi reg should work fine in most markers. With the exception of Bob Longs. BL markers need low pressure regs

[@dcptiv]

Short barrel for snake, medium for mid player & back player has a long barrel. Snake generally has the least pods & back has the most.

[@annoytodeath1522]

your shirt makes me confused

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

hahah i know :)

[@tylerdicamillo902]

[@pointingsoyjak4271]

It looks like there's oil on my phone screen

[@Pigeon.shitter]

When I had my axe I used a 16 inch cp Barrel and I loved it I was easier for me to point then the stock

[@brandonroberts0502]

at 3:27 is that a doggo?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Yep hahah he was making is nest lol

[@nickirmen6671]

Definitely invest in a cup and athletic underwear too... especially for all woodsball, speedball, and scenarios

[@autumnVoid1138]

I knew a guy who litterally tied a whole hoodie around his neck, wore a winter down jacket, wore a beanie and never took his mask off ever no matter where he went even if it was a safe zone like inside the store , he looked like he was dying from the heat ( in Kentucky humid summer)

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Safety first 😂

[@autumnVoid1138]

Paintball Ruined My Life yeah it was a sight

[@XoTicGunner]

The PE Gtek 160 R is still $800 and the Shocker RSX is $700. So you'll save $100 if somebody is considering Both. I Recently purchased the Shocker and I am in love with it, all of my friends never had a single issue with them. They shoot smooth and are super easy to maintain. At the end of the day you can't go wrong with both....

[@AnnoyingOrange420]

Manuel Hernandez I have used a regular (non 160r) Gtek, loved it and want to buy my own 160r or RSX. I haven't used the RSX but have heard it's really good, considering I have no real experience with the RSX which would you recommend?

[@XoTicGunner]

Samatosh Well since you already held and shot a regular Gtek you already know what they feel like in the hands. I would recommend going to your local paintball shop and hold the Shocker in your hands. Some people think that the shocker is too small for them if you have big hands....me personally I'm a big guy and the shocker feels great in my hands. It's really light and shoots great. I would recommend the Shocker, but the Gtek 160 R is a good choice too.

[@AnnoyingOrange420]

Thanks, I live kinda far from the nearest proshop but for a 700$ marker I'll go down and see if they've got it. I've hear a lot about the Shocker being small and light, but my hands aren't very big and I run and gun up on the front lines a lot so don't want a heavy marker. Since the Gardner brothers are dickheads and I already know I love the Gtek it's a hard decision, thanks again.

[@thinklikeapimp3946]

but the regular gtek is much cheaper and even better, because it has lesser kick, because of the absorbing plastic. i would never buy it, because the only thing thats different ist the macroline and weight

[@SpaceMissile]

7:38 - "Paintball _pew pew!"_

[@ryanhershey9958]

If you have bob long guns, you need to get 400 psi output, but really should have a SLP reg.

[@Bonez32186]

Output pressure won't change how far into the tank you can go, regulators control peak pressure, where if the pressure is high enough it will close the valve in the system(spring stiffness dictates how much pressure is required to isolate the output from the input side), when a tank gets low it does not have enough pressure to "close" the output side and internal volume of the tank at that point the valve is constant open being that there isn't enough pressure to close it. Marker operating pressure will dictate how far into a tank you can go. A lower tank regulator will just make the marker regulator work not quite as hard and may save a little bit on orings, lower pressure differential will lower the speed at which the regulator returns to set pressure, but this is usually a pretty negligible change due to flow restrictions in the regulators themselves, but most if not all inline regulators are designed to be able to handle input pressures in the ~850psi range(and a decent bit above for safety), CO2 safe regulators usually have an over-pressure relief built into them just in case some liquid CO2 gets into them and expands in the reg body. Now on stuff like the old LP angels, the inline regulator wasn't designed for input pressures over 400psi, and would actually cause the regulator to not function properly. 16inch freak barrel autococker army :)

[@Omegaoutlaw84]

I got shot in the neck back in the day and half of my face went numb for like 3 weeks. Half my face didn’t work. When I’d smile only half of my mouth would smile it was pretty scary but everything went back to normal as time went by. Protect your neck!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Scary!

[@delawarebassfisher8011]

#pbqt what hopper under $100 should I get to use with my mini gas?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Got ya, this coming week

[@jlovaglio]

Thanks for the explanation on ramping. Can you describe all the different firing modes?

[@SldOnEmWithDa45]

I just set my mini on three round burst and call it a day...You conserve paint, and you’re not lighting people up for no unnecessary reason!

[@xFireManV1]

Disruptive barrels come in 13/15 in barrels. Best barrels in the game

[@ashravenpb]

13 and 15 are awesome

[@dewaynesmith1809]

Yeah, but also as an old speedball player, I could shot faster than 10 balls a second, so I turn my ramping down to only 8 balls a second to save paint and to stop over shooting, it’s a two finger thing that speed ballers never get over doing when under fire.

[@Scott21700]

You have a fantastic channel! Keep it up man this has become my premiere channel for general paintball content!

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Thanks!

[@zed625]

You really should mention getting a cup when talking about padding (at least for guys), that's something that people forget but really need

[@jasonbuilder5601]

I'm new to paintball what do I but I'm buying a tippmann 98 and need info on what to buy

[@JLMtime]

I really like my one piece .687x12" I have 12/14/16" lapco planet eclipse shaft barrel tips I use a lot but when the paint is the right size I use the 1 part barrel & its actually smoother

[@JLMtime]

if you add a volume chamger to older markers you can use them at lower pressures with the velocity up

[@isaakwinkle5305]

For question #1, i say man through it and deal with the pain. Its not that bad

[@mat5857]

hey just wanted to ask if an e trigger is beter/worse than a response trigger?

[@ashravenpb]

A response trigger might not be allowed at every field since it is not electric and you can't cap the rof. Just save your money for a better gun, e grips on tippmanns aren't that great

[@gerritstollenwerk7236]

How do you analysis a new field layout? Whats the process on figuring out what are potential lanes to shoot etc.

[@ashravenpb]

walk the field before the game and play on the field

[@Frosty_Delta]

I was wondering what might happen if you were to use oil instead of grease on a spool bolt. I did it on my proto rail and want to know if I should be prepared for anything. Thanks -Dan

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Nothing crazy will happen, the gun just might not work well. Grease is used because these guns require a lot of lubrication, oil will work but is so lightweight it just shot out of the front of the gun very quickly.

[@TheGodOfMayo]

I plan on doing first person paintball streams, what cellular provider do you have?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

T-Mobile, kind spotty but mega cheap.

[@ethannewman1905]

Advice on finding Used/ affordable paintball inflatable bunkers? I've done a wee bit of research and I find very little that is not retail/field price or not old as dust sale postings.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Ehh im not sure, I think that Valken sells bunkers individually but they are going to be new and no idea what pricing is

[@zacharychavez3482]

How about a tippman, with a 3" long barrel thread adapter, plus a 6" long bore kit adapter, plus an A-5 22" long barrel? Too long? ;-P I mean, I CAN make it longer by adding more adapters.

[@kash3179]

sup bro first one up in his joint Brad!

[@bestminecrafters80]

Which Paintball Gun do you reccomend me to get after the Beginner set up?

[@thinklikeapimp3946]

as said a hundred times: a GTek i have it my own and its awsome with inserts, ninja reg and a virtue hopper! never had a single problem, not a single ball break and it shoots like hell! check my actual video where i shoot 2000 balls at that day. look at the end where i empty my hopper. everything in semi!

[@GeneralLeather]

bestminecrafters80 if you are starting out. etha 2 or axe 2.0 both amazing guns both below $500 I think

[@bestminecrafters80]

Timotheus Thomas thanks, its for a friend but he told me that he loved the Tippman TMC, so could you tell me if I could recommend it for him?

[@GeneralLeather]

bestminecrafters80 the tmc is an awesome starter gun because you can run both magfed and hopper fed so it let's you try out both sides of paintball. It's is a tippman so it's gonna reliable. I would say tmc is a great pick. Extra megs are cheap and very good quality.

[@bestminecrafters80]

Timotheus Thomas alright thanks, I will let him know that :S

[@ppvfd121]

Is a cup worth dealing with on the paintball field? Some say they wouldn’t play without and others say they can’t stand them.

[@tubo2491]

Woot! More mini games!

[@px30lover6]

I wear a long sleeve t shirt and shorts idk it doesn’t hurt that bad for me

[@SammyPProductions]

Another question for you. Does the velocity on your gun matter

[@SammyPProductions]

I have a hk sabr

[@BoostMobile4103]

I use an 8 inch deadly wind w/ freak inserts. I feel the underbore/overbore has more of a effect on accuracy and distance than the actual length of the barrel. Thoughts anyone?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I think Velocity has more bearing on distance than anything.

[@BoostMobile4103]

makes me wanna set the velocity and change around the barrels and see how velocity fluctuates thanks for the input

[@ashravenpb]

you underbore which means more air is pushing the ball which means the ball is traveling at a higher velocity. thats why it is shooting further. I have an 8 inch deadlywind without inserts and its pretty damn accurate

[@BoostMobile4103]

SSniper14 PB yah I agree my 8 inch is just as accurate and travels just as well as my 14. I just never realized that I would adjust the velocity back to 280 whenever i switch barrels. Very interesting

[@johnnybgoode2333]

I know this is a year old but how much louder is the 8 inch compared to a 14?

[@thamunky5759]

#pbqt I love playing scenario ball but what are the options for people who want to play big scenario games?

[@jakehord15]

Should I get a head band

[@jordanbwaugh7142]

Could you suggest an internal bolt marker at lower enough cost not RAP4 mil style but with buttstock kinda M100-300 , M2, or M3 similar in style? Also could you suggest a double piccaninny prop infront of hopper and back front "locked" Camera back a adjustable wire passing hopper so Paintball can have arm exposed almost "cornershot" paint doesn't always go straight However point of sight may give more mil feel i Could design a Paintball Paradise none Could contend with for new phantasmal match types fun factor Disney can we see if South Park Mickey down for paintball?

[@theholychirch3924]

hi I have a Vforce Profiler mask and I'm looking to upgrade, love the mask just looking for another (NO VFORCE GRILL). I'm considering the HK Army KLR, Dye I5's, and the Empire E-Flex. a big feature I'm looking for is quick change foam, if one of these 3 don't have it please name some ones that do. Love the channel, love the content!

[@christianlozano7908]

Does using CO2 on an electronic gun mess up the electronics inside? Thanks man you help a lot

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

It matters what kind of electric gun, it is a good rule of thumb to just stay away form Co2 on electric guns.

[@milker-4943]

Using Co2 wont harm most electronics. if anything, the chillier decompression temperature of carbon dioxide will improve energy efficiency, especially with alkaline batteries. On the other hand, a fully automatic gun will make the Co2 tank accumulate frost, especially during winter.

[@assassinn8er656]

What is a regulator and what does it do?

[@wierdont5432]

I am new and wont to start playing what gun should I get that is not too much money

[@bensroka1210]

Tippmann. Anything from Tippmann (besides Gryphon). Get a 98 Custom, A5. or Cronus.

[@caseystewart6259]

Thanks for the info

[@richardrounce7138]

What would you recommend to wear in summer paintball?

[@benjaminkitchen7562]

for a fairly casual player, is there any reason to look at the Gtek over the Etha 2? To me it seems the Etha 2 sets a new standard for value, reliability, durability and performance in a marker. I currently have an Etek 3 and am planning on upgrading

[@ashravenpb]

the gtek is metal, it feels and looks nicer. Plus you can drop in an oled if you want

[@CaptHord]

i like 12'' on my marker... i have a 14'' but... its hitting the cover more than my 12''... soooo yeah... haha got the empire invert mini

[@TANKKILL2020]

Wat do you mean when you say Spider gun? Is that referring to the thread of the barrel? And wats the best PSI for the MG100?

[@thesilentgeneration1711]

Spyder is a brand of paintball markers, the barrel thread of spyder markers are mostly the same

[@joshbowen9423]

CopyCat Airsoft I've owned an azodin electronic and it's not great, could you go used?

[@ashravenpb]

The blitz 3 will not shoot like your axe, but it's incredibly simple and easy to maintain. Great for a beginner. If you can go used then a used proto rail, ion with tons of upgrades, or for $250-$300 you could get a shocker nxt with an eigenbolt or techt bolt

[@thinklikeapimp3946]

is there anything u can think of, i can upgrade at Gtek with OLED, Spire Hopper with Ramp, Ninja Reg, Fuel Tank and Freak Back?

[@ashravenpb]

Not a fan of the freak system, but if it works then keep it. You don't really need any upgrades. the only thing I can think of is a new reg for the marker if you want a slight improvement in consistency

[@Jaiofspam]

question, planet eclipse gtek vs planet eclipse gtek or planet eclipse gtek? :p

[@benjaminkitchen7562]

Etha 2

[@aaronjackson3565]

I am going mag fed and I am getting a tmc should get a tipx or t8 as a sidearm I was leaning more twords the tipx due to the more compact size and the co2 in the gun not the mag I would run a remote line any way. Any suggestions?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

You by no means need a sidearm, but if I was going to go with something it would be the TiPX.

[@bigdawg2887]

I have a old school spyder fenix I have changed the the tank to air and have a carbon fiber barrel what other upgrades can I do to improve my paintball gun

[@JackieTheDoe]

i know you dont want to hear this but i think the best upgrade for that gun is a new gun

[@nicholasmorrison3938]

Anthony Guillen a new gun, you should stay away from spyders

[@ashravenpb]

If you like the fenix then maybe you should check out the Azodin Blitz evo 2. Its a blowback so you will already know how it works, but its operating pressure is 250 psi so you can still compete with the high ends. Plus it doesn't need any upgrades out of the box

[@lapshots7288]

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

An Empire or Ninja 48/3000 for the cheapest or an Empire 68/4500 basic is the cheapest carbon fiber tank I would get

[@ashravenpb]

gi sports 68/4500 tanks can sometimes be found for $100. Theyre basically the same as an empire tank

[@cadenpierce229]

I currently have a empire mini and I want to upgrade. I have been trying to decide between the Etha 2 and the axe2.0 which one is better for the price. Is their a different gun you would suggest around that price point? Note i play speedball

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

I don't think there are two better guns on the market, both are excellent. I would chose the Etha 2 though.

[@mS_jackson]

What would you say is the best tippmann a5 barrel

[@texasdoom7805]

Still a little confused on tank regulators. I'm coming from using a tippmann custom pro several years ago, and I'm trying to get back into it and I'm about to get an axe 2.0. So which regulator will I need, and why do I need It? Thanks

[@pitish1493]

What regulator do I need for a 98 custom

[@ashravenpb]

anything with an output of 750-800 psi.

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Any standard regulator that comes on a compressed air tank will do fine.

[@shade_nasty_yt6937]

I have a 98 custom to

[@Bloated_Tony_Danza]

Actually none belive it or not. 98 customs are designed to run on around 850 psi. CO2 at room temp is around 850 psi and that's what HPA tanks are regulated to out of the box. (that can be changed) DON'T regulate a 98 custom! Waste of money and could make it worse! Older tippman guns like the SMG 68 needed liquid CO2 from siphoned tanks to run (even higher pressure) Good like finding one of those bad boys

[@simonmejia6243]

men, I just buy a tippmann 98..... which accessories do you recommend me to put in?

[@PaintballRuinedMyLife]

Really nothing, I would keep it stock. The 98 is great, because it is inexpensive and reliable. When you start upgrading it a lot it becomes expensive and less reliable.
