bore, of the barrel is smaller than your paint, it will slow the velocity as well (because of increased friction between
the barrel and the moving ball). Switching to a barrel which is of a larger bore (but similar outward appearance) will
result in a drastic raising of velocity. Sometimes as much as 25 fps.
PAINT. Old paint, which has swollen slightly, will give slower velocities. (Again, because of increased friction.) Load
fresh paint and velocities start to climb. Due to the fact that different brands (and even different lots of the same
brand) vary in diameter, always chrono with the paint you're going to be using that day.
LIQUID OR GAS. Some paintmarkers run on liquid CO2; check to see if the paintmarker has a siphon bottle. Those
other CO2 systems that rely on gas have to be checked too. Any paintmarker running on gas will have significantly
higher velocities if they manage to pull liquid. When you chronograph, you want the worst-case scenario. Force the
paintmarker to draw liquid (by tipping it so liquid from the tank will flow into the valve and then firing a few shots) and
chronograph. A paintmarker chronoed a 260 fps on gas will go over 300 fps on liquid. Paintmarkers with regulators
and expansion chambers usually won't go liquid, as long as you're not pounding the paint down- range like you're
trying to put out a forest fire. (More on that later.) Don't make markers like the Automag take liquid, however, they
could get damaged internally.
DISCONNECTED REMOTES. Disconnecting the hose from your remote set-up will cause a drop in pressure in your
paintmarker, resulting in lower velocities. This is why in most tournaments you are not allowed to fire/disconnect
after you have been eliminated or the game has ended.
FRESH FILLS. A freshly filled CO2 tank will yield very low velocities. I've seen velocities climb 100 fps as tanks
warmed up! If the tank is frosty, tell them to go get a warmer one. (Usually the field will lend you a tank, if you don't
have another one.)
Adjusting your velocity/FPS:
Place CR-V5 Allen Wrench into velocity
adjuster. Turn Clockwise to lower velocity,
and turn counter-clockwise to raise velocity.
