Accuracy

[codySMAA]

How much will an expansion chamber, N2, or a new bolt help the accuracy?

When liquid Co2 enters your marker the velocity changes. Velocity = How far paintball will fly. If your velocity flips then so will your accuracy, if you understand what i'm saying. An Expansion chamber will help a little with the problem.

A good regulator and N2 tank will delete the problem.
The bolt won't help at all really. I find upgrading to a venturi bolt cuts down balls breaking in the barrel. But it's not really worth upgrading imo.

as for accuracy, an expansion chamber has no direct effect on it. All it does is aid liquid Co2 to change into a gas. The gas is what is needed for your gun to function properly, that is all it does. Aftermarket bolts are nice, but they don't really provide a great improvement of accuracy. I would say they help to lessen the chances of ball breakage more as compared to the improved accuracy they provide. Some people see a slight improvment in accuracy, but it's not really that noticable at all.

Switching to a better air source such as N2 would give you the improved results you are looking for. N2 is so much more consistent then Co2, you will get better, more consistent velocity marks, and that will give you a more consistent shot group.... so there you go. Of those items you mentioned, the N2 would be your best upgrade.

bolts rarely help with accuracy

[codySMAA]

Do more expensive guns generally give you better accuracy because I was considering buying a new gun.

accuracy as richy will tell you is in the part of the person shooting the marker

precission has to do with paint to barrel match and consitency, this can helped with a freak barrel kit and a nice n2 tank.

nitro-will help a lot
bolt- um...no:)
new gun-might help some
x chamber- a little but get an anti-siphon tube instead

[ds613]

having all gas instead of some liquid and some gas will help consistancy and therefore accuracy.

[codySMAA]

Are anti siphon tubes just for CO2 or N2 or will it work for both. Also were would I get one and how do they work.

[KOTOWA]

Anti Siphon is for CO2, it doesnt let liquid into the gun.

N2 doesnt need one cause its already a gas(air).

You can go to actionvillage.com and get them.

Air goes into gun, through valves and bold, pushes ball outta barrel. Pretty simple, someone can explain it more since I am a lazy bum to type and oh gosh I am typing too much again and it is preventing me from getting fat for paintball and getting bounces so I better stop typing before I get my metabolism to burn all the sunflower seed I just ate and then I would have to eat bulk cheese just to gain it back and I should shutup.

They are for co2. They would do nothing in a nitro tank (There's no liquid). They keep all the liquid co2 out of your gun. They go inside the tank and are bet so that when the tank is screwed into the gun, the opening is at the top where the gas (not the liquid) is. You should get one installed at a paintball store. You have to bring your gun so that they can get the tube lined up right. You can only use the tank on that gun, but it's only like $20 to get installed, and it works better than an x chamber. This is only for horizontally mounted tanks (not vertical or remote). If your tank is mounted vertically or you use a remote, you don't need an anti-siphon tube.

why spend $20 when you cna put one in for 89 cents


all you need is a few inches of 1/8 copper tubing and a compression fitting
