  • 5 Ways to Keep Your Marker Working Like New

    texture1A paintball gun is a big investment, so you’ll want to keep it clean and in working order. Nothing is worse than getting hyped for a big day of woodsball, only to get on the field and find out your gun is leaking or won’t shoot!

    Your marker will require some easy maintenance to keep it functioning like new. Check out the following blog for storage and care tips, as well as solutions to the most common problems.

    1. Read the Owner’s Manual and Disassemble Only As Needed

    Make sure to read the owner’s manual for any maintenance and cleaning instructions specific to your marker. One very important detail to look for in the manual: the type of oil required.

    While it’s important to clean and repair as needed, don’t take the gun apart more often than necessary. It’s too easy to reassemble it incorrectly or lose a bolt while doing so.

    2. Oil Frequently But Not Excessively

    Before gameplay, make sure to oil the front and rear bolt O-ring. Use oil specifically made for paintball guns only, because other types can damage the O-rings. Remember that less is more when it comes to oil. Too much oil will gather over time and cause delays in the operation. The perfect amount of oil is just enough to coat the seals.

    Check your markers manual, because many will specify a certain oil or grease that should be used. The right kind of oil is usually inexpensive and has the most power to extend the life and quality of your gun.

    3. Clean After Every Use

    Clean the marker thoroughly after every use, but make sure to remove your Co2 or HPA tank first. Wipe down the outside of your gun after gameplay to remove all paint. Don’t use soap, chemical cleansers or wash cloths that are too abrasive.

    During gameplay, be careful when playing in wet or muddy conditions and try to prevent too much water or mud from making contact with your gun. If it does become exposed to a lot of dirt, mud, or water, take it apart to wipe out the inside. Make sure it is fully dry before reassembling.

    Occasionally you’ll also want to remove the barrel and clean the inside with a squeegee and some water. Too much paint buildup can pile up and cause problems. Wipe it down again with a dry towel and make sure it is completely dry before reassembling.

    4. Keep It In a Safe Place

    After cleaning, oil your marker to prevent rust. Make sure the trigger is in safety mode and the barrel plug is in place, then unload and remove the air supply.

    Keep it in a safe, dry place, out of direct sunlight. The tank is especially prone to heat and sun damage because Co2 expands in high temperatures.

    5. Most Common Problems Solved By Replacing These Parts

    If your gun is having operational issues, the first thing you should do is check on the Co2 bottle, batteries (if it uses them), and the O-rings. The most common problems can be fixed simply by replacing these parts.

    Make sure the Co2 bottle is not empty and check for valve problems, or test out the marker with another bottle. If the gun is leaking near the bottle, the Co2 bottle O-ring probably needs to be replaced. You should also routinely check the O-rings for any cuts, tears, or openings that air could get through just as a preventive measure.

  • 3 Marker Upgrades for Intermediate Paintball Players

    texture1So you’ve been playing paintball for quite some time now and you’ve got the basics down, but aren’t quite an expert yet. You’ve practiced and nearly perfected some skills like hitting a target, but know that a stock marker can only fire so fast or so accurately. Even if you play at an intermediate skill level, your equipment might be holding you back.

    The unique thing about paintball is that it is a sport that allows varied equipment upgrades to customize and individualize it to the player’s strengths and preferences.  It’s very easy to make easy, often affordable upgrades and changes to a stock marker  that can make a huge difference in your performance.

    The stock marker allows the player to pick and choose which modifications will work best for their game style and skill level. There are several customizations and upgrades you can make to a marker when you’re ready to step up your game.

    1. A Barrel Upgrade By Length or Bore Size

    Recommended if:

    • You want an affordable, accessible upgrade
    • You want increased accuracy OR increased distance
    • You aren’t sure what to upgrade first

     

    texture2A barrel upgrade is the most common and basic upgrade to marker. If you aren’t sure what to improve first, start by upgrading your barrel. There is one question you must ask when doing so: Is increased accuracy or increased distance more important? For example, if you often play woodsball, distance is probably your preference. But if you more often prefer speedball, accuracy may be more important.

    Accuracy: Increase Length of Barrel

    There are barrel upgrades of all types and sizes. Upgrade your barrel to 12 to 16 inches for a marker much easier to aim, resulting in increased accuracy. However, it will not add distance and may actually decrease it. Also note, a longer barrel increases the time that the paintball is in contact with it, so it could be more likely to break when playing in cold temperatures.

    Accuracy: Decrease Bore Size of Barrel

    paintball_pack3Another option for increased accuracy is to decrease the bore size of the barrel. The smaller the barrel bore size, the higher the accuracy.A stock barrel usually has a bore size of .690 and an initial decrease to .688 bore size should be sufficient.  As you become a more advanced player, you can decrease gradually, often as low as .675. Note that you may have to adjust your paintball size as well, depending on the bore size. The most common paintball is the size of a .680 bore, which the stock barrel can easily fit. However, if you plan to go below .680, you will probably need to adjust your paintball size.

    Another option is to purchase a barrel kit. These come with multiple barrel sleeves that allow you to adjust the bore size. That way, you can use any size paintballs you have and adjust the barrel bore size as needed. These can be more expensive, but will increase your accuracy and allow you to use any size paintballs you have.

    Distance: Decreased Barrel Length

    Look for a shorter barrel of 8 to 12 inches if distance is important. Specialized barrel modifiers can also be found for those that really want to maximize distance and shoot your target before they come within normal range. The specialized modifiers are more expensive, but can increase your distance by 100 feet. These are designed to cause the paintball to curve in order to shoot further, faster. Your accuracy will be lowered, however, as a number of factors such as wind, pressure, and the general distance. Because of the general distance, anything like wind, pressure, can cause the ball to curve a little.

    2. Trigger Upgrade to Double, Response, or Electronic

    Recommended if:

    • You want to shoot more paintballs at a quicker rate

     

    Beginner’s Upgrade: Double Trigger

    A higher firing rate is obviously a huge advantage on the paintball field because you will be able to shoot more paintballs quicker than your opponents. The easiest and most affordable way to obtain this is to upgrade to a double trigger. A double trigger simply operates by making it easier to pull the trigger and as a result, increase your firing rage. You will simply need to swap your old trigger and guard out for this one, without any complicated mechanical upgrades.

    Intermediate Upgrade: Response Trigger

    The next step up is a response trigger, and you can use it simultaneously with a double trigger, or on its own. The response trigger  has a slightly more complicated installation process, but is still simple enough to do at home. It is a small cylinder and piston installed behind the marker’s trigger that is powered by your marker’s air. You can adjust a response trigger from a normal firing rate to a very high rate.

    Advanced Upgrade: Electronic Trigger

    An advanced upgrade is the electronic trigger, or e-trigger. It requires some understanding of how the marker operates because you will need to disassemble parts in order to install it. This is the trigger upgrade with the highest range and also the ability to switch between semi-automatic, fully-automatic, three-round bust, and other firing modes.

    3. Upgrade: Co2 Tank to HPA Tank

    Recommended if:

    • You live in a cold climate or often play in colder weather
    • You want to increase your firing rate
    • You want increased accuracy and efficiency

     

    airsoft_new_jerseyAn upgrade to an HPA (high pressure air) tank will bring increased efficiency and accuracy when shooting in any climate or temperature. However, this upgrade is especially recommended to those who frequently play paintball in colder weather because low temperatures easily cause Co2 tanks to function improperly.

    The main reason for this is that the stock tank simply requires more effort from the marker than a HPA: Co2 starts as a liquid and must be converted into a gas in order to  to function correctly. Warm temperatures cause the Co2 to expand quickly, while colder temperatures cause it to expand slowly. When the environmental temperature is lower or your firing rate is very fast, a delay in the conversion of Co2 can take place.

    Firing too quickly won’t allow the Co2 adequate time to convert, which will cause the paintball spin or curve as it comes out with too little gas Co2 and traces of liquid Co2. The result is a much slower firing rate as the marker delays its cycle to process to catch up the Co2’s conversion. The marker may temporarily stop working and make an extended stuttering sound (similar to a machine gun). Add in a freezing temperature, and the maker could freeze and form a thick white vapor at the barrel.

    This is a concern that does not exist with HPA tanks because these use a regulatory system that ensures the cleaner gas remains in that form at all times. The end result is steady, constant pressure every time you fire a paintball. The negative side to a HPA tank is that there are fewer places to fill them up, and it can be a high upfront cost.

  • 4 Essential Tips for Winter Paintball

    AC Paintball is one of New Jersey’s premiere outdoor paintball facilities and our fields are open for gameplay year round, rain or shine. While we don’t see too much crazy weather, freezing temperatures and the occasional snowfall can impact how we play paintball. Why stop playing paintball for a little bad weather? Instead, adjust your gameplay style and prepare your gear for the cold. Here are our best tips to help winterize your paintball game:

    1. Prevent Paintballs from Breaking

    • Keep paintballs warm as long as possible
    • Use an isolated cooler with heat packs before gameplay
    • Carry paintballs in pod pack underneath clothing
    • Load hopper as late as possible
    • Purchase paintballs designed for winter weather

     

    paintball_pack2It’s a myth that paintballs can freeze. Most contain oil and glycerin (a common ingredient of antifreeze), so the shell would actually shatter long before it could possibly be frozen. The shell of a paintball is made of gelatin or vegetable starch, both of which can become brittle in cold temperatures. After this happens, the paintball can easily crack or break on contact with your hand or while inside your marker’s barrel.

    Help prevent paintball breakage by keeping them out of the cold as long as possible. Bring a small insulated cooler, warmed to room temperatures, to keep paintballs in before gameplay. During the game, If you use a pod pack or vest, these won’t sufficient to keep paintballs warm in the winter. What you can do, however, is wear the pod pack underneath your coat or an outer layer and carry a heat pack on your body.

    In addition, try to remove paintballs from warmth and load your hopper at the very last minute. The hopper will not provide any protection from the cold. Once loaded, try your best not to shake your hopper unnecessarily to avoid busting the paintballs inside.

    Another option is to purchase paintballs specially made for cold temperatures. These are designed with a thicker shell and a stronger fill that will resist damage. While they may cost a little more, it is worth it for the convenience.

    2. Keep Co2 Tank Functioning Properly

    • Shoot less and at slower rate
    • Remove expansion chambers
    • Point marker up when not shooting
    • Never use heat packs on Co2 tank
    • Alternatively, upgrade to a HPA tank

     

    Co2 tanks work fine in warmer weather, but the cold can cause them to have all sorts of problems. The main issue is a decrease in pressure, which causes the velocity to drop and a delay in your marker’s cycle. The end result is an extended stuttering sound, similar to that of a machinegun, as it takes extra effort just to work properly. Eventually,  the marker body may freeze and a thick white vapor will come out of the barrel. Not cool at all!

    The ideal solution is to upgrade to a high pressure air tank (HPA). These are not susceptible to any problems from cold temperatures and function great in warm weather as well. Plus, an HPA tank will provide  increased efficiency and accuracy when shooting. If you upgrade to an HPA, your game will be improved year round.

    However, we know upgrades can be costly, so if you need to stick with a Co2 tank, there are some things you can do to make it more manageable in the winter:  Shoot less and at a slower rate. This will make it less likely to jam up. Co2 expands slower in cold air,  so it just needs a little extra time to function properly. You should also point your marker up when not shooting, to keep the liquid Co2 in the bottle and out of the valve. Remember to take any expansion chambers off as well. Never use heat packs on a Co2 tank, although it seems logical, it does not help because the heat can increase pressure.

    3. Dress for the Weather

    • Wear multiple layers that can be removed
    • Avoid bulky or thick coats
    • Always wear gloves
    • Choose shoes with ankle support and traction
    • Bring a change of clothes in case of mud and moisture

     

    While you may become hot when you run and move, you could get extremely cold when you hide and stand still. Wear layers that you can remove when it gets too hot. Try a thermal under armour base, a sweatshirt, then a zip-up waterproof coat. Avoid coats that are too thick or bulky because these will be uncomfortable and cause excessive sweating. Always remember to bring extra  socks and wear waterproof shoes or boots with ankle support and traction because it may be slippery. Functional gloves that allow you to load and move freely and a beanie or warm hat that covers the ears. If there’s any snow on the ground, the game may become extra wet and muddy. It may be a good idea to bring a change of clothes for after the game.

    4. Make Safety a Priority

    • Watch out for icy and slippery patches
    • Take a break if you have numbness
    • Drink plenty of water

     

    paintball safety tipsStay aware of your surroundings, keep you health in check, and watch out for your teammates and other players as well. Icy or slippery areas are likely in the winter. Depending on how cold it is, hypothermia can also be possible. Take a break if you feel disoriented, dizzy, or have numbness in your fingers or toes.

    Be sure to drink plenty of water! Dehydration is just as possible in the cold as in the heat. Even though it’s not hot out, you will still sweat from running and staying active. Drink plenty of fluids the day before, during, and after playing paintball or any other physical activity.

  • The 7 Guys You’ll Meet at a Bachelor Party

    atlantic city bachelor partyAccording to Hollywood movies, bachelor parties are  life-changing experiences filled with extreme partying, drugs, strippers, and even violence. In reality, most bachelor parties are just a bunch of dudes hanging out and looking for a good time. Here are 7 guys you’ll probably meet at every bachelor party. Which one are you?

    1. The Man in Charge

    The Man in Charge, probably also the best man, is organizing the weekend. He’s planned the events, made the reservations, and let everyone know the details. He’ll be the one thanked for a killer party or blamed if things go wrong. He’ll be the most knowledgeable, but also the most stressed of the group.

    2. The Local Dude

    The Local Dude is super familiar with the area and already has his favorite spots and hangouts. He has only one goal for the weekend: do what he wants. He’ll start throwing out alternate ideas for activities from the moment you meet him. He underestimates The Man in Charge and is looking to overrule him to make the weekend worthwhile. Watch out for him – he’ll charismatically try to convince you that what he wants is what you want to.

    3. The Guy Nobody Knows

    Who is he? A random friend? An old relative? There’s always that one guy at the party that nobody knows except the bachelor. He’ll probably be sitting quietly in the corner on his phone. You might spend the entire weekend trying to figure out who he is without bluntly asking him.

    4. The New Dad

    The New Dad is likely looking forward to this weekend the most because it’s been months since he’s had a night out. He’ll probably party the hardest the first night, then sleep in the latest. He’ll feel guilty about it the next day and rush home to his family first chance he gets, mumbling something about “responsibilities.”

    5. The Thrill Chaser

    No amount of debauchery and partying is ever enough for The Thrill Chaser. He’s determined to make every moment like a scene from the The Hangover. He’ll be plotting ways to bring the mayhem to the next level all weekend, whether it’s absurd pranks on the bachelor or a search for the craziest underground bars.

    6. The Happily Married Guy

    The Happily Married Guy is pretty much destined to not have a good time this weekend. He’ll frequently go outside to call his wife and will be constantly texting her every other second. He frowns at The Thrill Chaser and will discourage anyone that wants to go to a strip club.

    7. The Bachelor

    And finally, the Bachelor, the whole reason everyone is gathered in the first place. He’s the guy everyone wants to be: He’ll get all the attention, won’t have to pay for anything, and has the final call on all plans. Basically, he gets to chill while everyone else works hard to make sure things go smoothly.

    Want to make the bachelor feel like the MVP of the weekend (and make things easier on your wallet)? Bring the party to AC Paintball, where The Bachelor plays free in groups of 10 or more.

Go over the guest list with him and keep track of RSVP’s. Plan your schedule in advance and make any reservations early. Ideally, you’ll plan to have the party several weeks before the wedding to allow for adequate recovery. Holding the event the night before the wedding is not a good idea. Be sure to plan in some downtime as well, especially if it’s a multi-day event.

    Money

    Don’t assume every guest has a ton of cash to burn. Check with all the guys before you book anything crazy extravagant. If the guys are a bit more frugal, look for affordable things to do. That being said, the groom should pay for nothing, so make sure everyone is okay with splitting his part of the tab.

    Activities

    With a diverse selection of activities and attractions, Atlantic City can provide the ultimate bachelor party experience. The best bachelor parties are not entirely made up of drunken nights and strippers, even if that’s what it’s like in the movies. Plus, as many Atlantic City bachelor parties are multi-day events, you’ll need something to do during daylight hours.

    The first thing you should do when planning stuff to do is to think of the groom’s interests. Does he like to chill? Plan a beach day. Is he into entertainment? Check out a comedy show or go to a concert. Does he love action and excitement? Take him to play paintball.do ac paintball

    On another note, not every groom is interested in strippers, so don’t force this on him if it’s not his thing. With all the other fun things to do in Atlantic City, strip clubs are definitely not a bachelor party requirement. If the groom is having a good time, you’ll know you’ve planned a killer bachelor party. A quality best man will make sure he has a great time but still makes it to his wedding day safe and sound.

    AC Paintball is closed Saturday for the holiday, but don’t worry because there will still be plenty of action in the world of paintball this weekend. The 2014 PSP World Cup will take place October 9-12 in Chicago, Illinois. 380 paintball teams from all over the world will compete in what is said to be paintball’s biggest day of the year.

    Professional and amateur paintball players will compete on ten identical fields and in four Divisions. Amateur teams will play with five shooters in seven matches. Professional teams will play with seven shooters until one team hits seven points.

    The World Cup is the biggest and the last competition of the year for the PSP league. Small competitions have taken place all year in California, Maryland, Chicago, and Dallas.

    All teams will play capture the flag style. In case you are unfamiliar with the rules, teams will enter the field from opposite sides and try to shoot the opposing players while avoiding getting hit themselves. The ultimate goal is to obtain the flag located in the center of the field and return it to their starting position.

    You can check out the field layout and bunkers in the picture of above. Looks like the fields have a good amount of snake bunkers (small and low to the ground) and Doritos (tall and triangular), which should make for fast and intense games.

    You can get in on the action by watching the live webcast this weekend provided by PBA. You can access the stream at paintballaccesslive.com for $19.95.

    The webcast will also offer a live episode of The Breakdown, a paintball news series with hosts Matty Marshall and Todd Martinez created by PBA.

    The episode will feature interviews with selected players who will discuss their paintball season, thoughts on the field layout, and tactics for the big game. The hosts and players will also talk about Fantasy Paintball picks and drills to try on the field.

    In an informal poll on PBNation, fans made their picks for teams most likely to win the World Cup. Top choices were Edmonton Impact from Canada, Moscow Art Chaos from Russia and LA Ironmen. Other fan favorites were Tampa Bay Damage, Houston Heat, and San Antonio Xfactor. Trailing behind was Baltimore Revo, Omaha Vicious, and Upton 187 Crew.
    The next few days will be big in the world of paintball. What teams do you think will beat the competition? What are you thoughts on the field design? Let us know in the comments!
