How to Test Paintball Gun Speed

Video Transcript

"Hi this is Robert Stewart with Hill13.com. So now you are geared up and you know that all of your gear is functional and ready to play with. You are about to leave the safe zone and enter the field. Your last stop on the way in is going to be the chrono station. A chronograph is used to measure the speed of the ball and generally speaking usually most fields want it between 260 and 290. Anything over 300 is almost always unacceptable so you stand at the chrono station, take your weapon off safe, charge the weapon and chrono the paintball gun. This weapon is running at about 280 feet per second which for our field is acceptable so now you are ready to play, don't forget your barrel condom, you're going to need that when you leave the field again and one final thing you need to have in your pocket is a barrel squeegee to clean your barrel once you are on the field in case you have any problems. So make sure that you have a dedicated pocket and that through the day you keep your barrel condom and your squeegee at the ready. Now we are ready to take to the field."
