The explanation of technology is insightful! would love to see more videos that stick to this same perspective i.e. in-depth breakdown of the current status quo of paintball innovation, science and technology. great video!
Really clear information. I’m going to start sending this to people before I take them for the first time. It’s be great if you did a video on etiquette, general safety rules, and maybe even your favorite game types. I hope this is the first of many videos of this quality, not many great paintball channels.
New to your channel. Great break down on the tech. Wish I could have seen this video at the beginning of my start into paintball. Only been playing for two years. So much to playing. From playing technic/strategy, maintenance, good sportsmanship, field layout. The list goes on and on. The number one thing that I always empathize on to everyone new to the sport to old. Is first thing to even every pro team which that plays. Stretch, stretch, stretch! Limber up those muscles! My biggest lesson learned from ripping a calf muscle last year. Please emphasize on that. Definitely not mentioned enough.
Splitting hairs! First of aim on target that helps a lot. Withougt a barrel the markers equal eachother. Suficient length and borefitting will give the final touch to accuracy. I do give credit to PE with gamma core making it possible to shoot solid liquids intact. Monsterballs works good on mech and magfed guns but the dimples on them will swirl off trajectories. Thus paintball quality is the buzz killer as rentalfields allow only monsterballs (stored in bulk for several years)
From an engineer that's also heavily involved in paintball and with other industry engineers, I'm glad to see this video. I wish more folks would be introduced to some of the highly impressive design, engineering and manufacturing that goes into making these big boy toys a reality. A point you made very well was how we can get something so fragile accelerated to such a high speed over a short distance, all in one piece. That right there is one of the most critical design targets, accompanied by some very trick engineering to accomplish that goal. Understanding the "hows" and "whys" to this engineering can really open your eyes to concepts you either didn't know existed or didn't account for previously. Here's a good channel I suggest you check out, and a video based on your marker: ua-cam.com/video/hqQC6au-ODI/v-deo.html This video will dig into some of the coolest engineering of modern paintball markers - the pneumatic side. Enjoy and don't limit just how far down the wormhole you go.
Thanks for the recommendation on that video, super cool! Yeah I'd love to eventually maybe have the opportunity to see some of the manufacturing first hand. They really are an engineering marvel!
Lol 😆 was playing today and I was watching your videos is the installing about amps and those good installations of the audio system didn’t know about you playing paintball
Geo 4 great marker, but if you are just starting u can get a much cheaper marker that shoots just as well....might be a little bit harder to work on but it wont hurt 4 u to learn to field strip ur marker anyway. A high end marker will mean alot more if u own low or mid grade marker first...
A nice surface level review of common high end paintball marker features. I use to own a Geo 4 and while I feel all high markers are comparable the Geo 4 was my least favorite.
@@flippino35 Its shot felt sluggish. The portion where the barrel ties into the gun is a little higher than alot of spoolies, so I couldnt wrap my thumb over the top. The feedneck was standard, it didnt have a little knob for the clamp to hold on to so the clamp would be up can down (they fixed this on the LV2) also not talking about the thumb adjustment thats fine. The frame felt thicker than I like (I prefer the Dye Hourglass frame or the TM40). It just felt like a highend that was basic. It did everthing well to average for a highend but nothing outstanding.
Great video, I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a paintball veteran but I’ve been in the sport for a little over a year now and I just won my first ever tournament, great video keep up the good work
My only issue is that gravity is in fact more then enough. But because balls jam as they fight to go in your get jams. Paintball zapper did a video avreging out how fast a stick feed can feed paint and it was over 20bps. But not practical to have a 200round stick coming off your hopper lol. Other then that great video, would love to see more
True, I'd like to try one of HK Army's new GFX loaders here on the channel. They are purely gravity fed but have a unique design that helps to prevent jams.
@@fabplayspaintball I have a valken v lite and empire splitter for pump. They use the same design philisophy. There good but the gog 100 gravity hopper stills beats them. My guess is the hk gfx will be about the same. Still quick change speed feed is nice.
Regardless the markers got smaller you had the same 20 years ago. The only real thing where it has evolved is the tool-less designs (--> DLX Luixe to mention here) and (again) the size. My Angel LCD was electronic at the time timer, setting etc. My Impulse (around 2002) had eyes and my Reloader B fed more balls than a Spire 4 will ever do (and was sound activated). Not really has changed much ion the past 20 years to be honest.
@@fabplayspaintball yea, give it a few years. Countless photos of bent planet eclipse guns. Engineering tho? Test the hardness and the tensile strength. Actually measure something. Are the bores sizes WITHIN spec? Then the real decisions begin.
Thanks for tuning in guys! What videos would you like to see in the future?
Understanding carbon fiber tanks and regulators.
Do a shocktech autococker video!🤔

Literally just watched all your old videos about sound deadening. So cool you're into paintball too!

Great ideas for videos, adding them to my list now. Thanks for tuning in and I appreciate you telling your friends!

Your video is excellent and should be used for all paintball fields and pro shops. No stone unturned
Thanks 👍

In the beginning of the videos saw a few fast clips of an indoor field, is that power paintball?
Lol 😆 was playing today and I was watching your videos is the installing about amps and those good installations of the audio system didn’t know about you playing paintball
oh god is that power paintball in lombard, il? my knees ache just looking at that floor.
Geo 4 great marker, but if you are just starting u can get a much cheaper marker that shoots just as well....might be a little bit harder to work on but it wont hurt 4 u to learn to field strip ur marker anyway.

Geo3 was quite nice but i grew bored of the leakage.

Subscribed, love the content my g!
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate you.
Dude you came a long way sweet channel, chi town for ever!
Yo! An old teammate, good to hear from you man!
Very knowledgable. Tons of information for new players.
Hope this video helps some new players ^_^
Hope so! Thanks for tuning in!
Great video, I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a paintball veteran but I’ve been in the sport for a little over a year now and I just won my first ever tournament, great video keep up the good work
Heck yeah! Congrats my friend! That's a huge accomplishment. Keep going!
Are you giving up on car audio?
I do both car audio and paintball
Following
Never! Just love both!
Wait are u the fab in snapshot?
Yes, thats me.
Add an N-charge to your hopper it's a game changer and makes it so much lighter
Very well done sir. Great video.
Thanks for watching

Where do you play most?
Tbh I would like to see u playing paintball n breaking down how u play something like a tip n trick video
Thanks for the input! Definitely!
Sick channel dude
Wow thanks! Appreciate you.
Are you enjoying the PE GEO 4
Love it!
My playa you just got a subscriber brother!
Awesome!
Seasoned player. Very nice video.
Much appreciated, thanks for taking the time to chime in!
Sup man! Subbed!
Hey, thanks!
@@fabplayspaintball just realized u have just 1 video
Dont worry, more are coming
Things sure have changed in 15 years
when is your next video. i love you style
Soon! Been busy but Ive got some stuff in the tank.
We need a new vid
I will say I can definitely tell a difference between getting shot by a rental 98s and people personal guns
The physics of a ball traveling at the same speed would make it not matter, regardless of marker.

Thanks Danny!
didnt mention how the gun is milled so much you could break it with little effort.
Never had an issue and my dives are pretty rough.

Man, too bad you didn't show a gun designed by a fan of your other channel.
Wasn't aware I have friends that design paintball markers?
@@fabplayspaintball Well, reach out to Dye, because I'm the designer there and love your work!
@@ironyusa3885 I adore my Dye DSR and M3+ thank you for making stuff like this possible
this guy has never seen a geo 4 before
Ok?
Great link for more animations. Been around for a long time. zdspb.com.
