man you must have a death wish...

im gonna go hide under my bed

[slim and shady]

relax its just Red.......He pretends to be all mean and ornery but deep inside he has a kind loving heart. We just havent found it yet

[pntballer5634]

i think he lost that kind heart a while back hahaha

[pntballer5634]

i can see him waking up tomorrow, seeing this thread, and throwing his computer out the window, than going back to bed

good news is, i dnt thik he's on right now, however, he could probably answer all of our questions in about two seconds, and make half us cry

I'm back, was at a birthday party for a good friend. I'm tired, so I'ma make this short. This first bit is based on the assumption that the barrel and paint is PERFECT, and is only directly about the operating system of the marker.

Astonishingly, over a SINGLE shot, I believe the Tippmann to be more accurate than any other marker except for other single tubed guns (Nelsons, Marqs, and all the spoolies). Why? Because there isn't any torquing up or down (Spyders, Egos or Intimidators), or diagonally (Angels, Vikings, and Excals) due to parts of the operating system being in different tubes.

Pumps, however, are at a slight disadvantage technically at the start of the firing cycle because of Newton's Law. Basically, because it's pushing the ball out the front, the barrel will rise. With a blow-back or other marker that is semi-auto, the marker's back pressure as well as cyclic mass help to lower that felt force.

Now, that was theory. Moving onto practical: The Cyborg operating with an LPR pressure (thus force on the ram) of 60-75psi has LITTLE to counteract the force of the ball leaving the barrel. This, however, is a good thing as the bolt at rest has an "open breech." When the marker is fired, that force with the cyclic mass moves forward, causing the marker to move. That is offset by the 150-250psi coming out of the HPR through the valve. Because its system is so balanced, little kick is felt. That's what truly is important in accuracy. Less felt kick means that you can refocus on the target quicker. The Tippmann has a heavy mass of internal parts and the valve throws out close to 650psi down the barrel, resulting in an unbalanced system and thus more felt kick.

Final words: Because of the above paragraph, my thoughts are that the most accurate marker is any that has been tuned to be properly balanced between the pressure that moves the cyclic mass and cycles the marker and the pressure that flows through the valve and out the barrel propelling the paintball. Of course, a higher quality paintball marker will do this better since it is designed for this purpose. Quite honestly, Spyders and Tippmanns are both slapped together for the sole purpose of getting new players into the sport. That's it. Even a FASOR (like a T1 or DP Fusion) will operate much better, even though only a single thing has been changed: the addition of a rammer system.

This is because it's electronically controlled, and you can more precisely tune the marker. THAT is what reduces kick, not some gimmick. Gimmicks can help to balance the marker's operating system (like the NecroRam/EigenRam for the Intimidator or the Zick Kit for the Ego or the EigenBolt/NV Bolt for the Shocker) by lowering the pressure needed to make it all work. With less force needing to be in play, it allows you balance the marker at a much more reasonable pressure.


My kind loving heart went on hiatus after the ******* inside me kicked its ass.

If you're basing accuracy off of saying that the reg isn't recharging fast enough, then you need a better reg, not a pump.

no, using the same paint, same barrel, same reg, same air system. of course if you have a **** reg its going to have **** consistency.

but still, a well balance target **** gun wouldnt beat my mr1...

laser guided fin stablived ICBM paintball is the most accuracte....just needs a massive launchpad marker.....
