Your gun's range

[DraXsuS]

What can I do to improve my gun's range???

[Phaelon Veritas]

turn your guns velocity up and get the best paint to barrel match you can possibly find.else than that you can't do much but get a flatline or z body mag..

[elTwitcho]

Your gun will go alot father if you throw it gripping the barrel instead of the gripframe. That and put your hips into the throw, rotate and bring your back shoulder forwards. You should be sendin that baby twice as far once you get the proper throwing technique.


Your paintballs arent gonna go any farther no matter what you do, assuming you are staying below the fps limit, and arent using a backspin system, which is available for the mag or tippman. And there's a screwy autococker flatline I seen around as well

Eltwitcho, do you have a better throw movement for us older guys, i not as limber as i use too be,sling shot thats the ticket.

I put a Smart Parts Tear Drop barrel on the STS ... range is the same as with the stock barrel, just a little more accurate and quiet. I set up some targets in the back yard, I'm good to about 65 feet (give or take a few), beyond that, it may be a gamble.

Turning your velocity up wont necessary help. If you turn it up too hard, the potential for ball breaks will increase and you'll be stuck with a range of about 12 inches. A flatline might help (if you have a m98)...but with the name MajSpyder i doubt u do. :)

Yeah, my STS is pretty good with the stock barrel. I shot pretty far with it. It's a very good stock barrel.

No I have A Spyder Compact 2k

Yeah, the STS barrel is pretty good.
I was getting about a two foot group at an unknown range... while another gun with a Dye boomer was getting about a 7 inch group. Much more consistant with no flyers...

I'm still trying to figure out just what makes these so called "Custom" Barrels (Custom doesnt come from a factory) shoot so much better than a stock. I've seen some dramatic differences with the same gun with just changing the barrel... This was with barrels that are both fitted for small paint.
