Velocity

[blurabidmonkey]

Hello i am very new to paintballing and been having this problem with my paintball gun. The gun is shooting really slow..ive tried uping the velocity, lubing, the works...everything it said in the stupid manual. Its accuracy is also very off. It will constanly shoot off course....mostly way higher than what im aiming for...Maybe its just a cheap gun
I have a Aci F4 illustrator xp.
All help will be greatly apperciated

try getting a longer barrel. That will give much better acuracy. And also try one size up paintball so if u were using a small bore paintball try using a medium.

Or not, a longer barrel is not more accurate, now chances are a AM barrel is likely to be higher quality, making the ball shoot much smoother through it. Also get a spring kit and mess with them, measure ~100ft out and if your balls can make it that far, your velocity is good.

You dont have to swallow your pride.... take it to the shop and ask to have it chrono'd, if your marker has a regulator make sure it is putting out the right PSI....and if your velocity cant be adjusted upto 280-300fps then get a spring kit.... also remove the venturi from your bolt.
