Angel Paintball

For many players – when it comes to markers – there is only one name in paintball: Angel. With the stylish Angel paintball logo clearly displayed on the marker’s body, aficionados know when they are in the presence of technological greatness. While you are not required to develop an ability to take apart your Angel paintball marker blindfolded, it is useful to at least have some rudimentary understanding of what makes it tick and how to coax extra velocity from it.

First and foremost, your Angel paintball marker is considered an electronic gun, which does not mean – interestingly enough – that it falls under the category of a sear tripper. Instead, it is electro pneumatic and thus uses the force of air for a host of actions. Hand in hand with this revelation comes the fact that Angel paintball markers use a number of regulators to ensure the proper operation of the entire system. Newbies commonly mistake the availability of a cheap Angel paintball gun to mean that the number of regulators is also drastically decreased, and those who fancy themselves smarter than the average bear will buy the bottom of the line model in an effort to decrease the number of regulators to such an extent that they only apply to the tank. This is a fallacy that separates the newbie from the person who at least takes the time to read through the marker’s documentation before playing around with it.

An angel paintball markers uses, as mentioned previously, the force of air to operate, yet different portions of the entire setup operate at different pressures, and thus the regulators that seem to be found everywhere on the marker actually ensure the proper operation of the gun as a whole. There are several Angel paintball gun upgrades that seek to maximize the airflow that travels through the model and the promise of increased pain pellet velocity, faster recovery which leads to more rapid firing sequences, and greater stability which in turn directly affects the accuracy of the fired pellet are but a few of the bold claims made in print ads and online sites.

Generally speaking, the player needs to be careful when considering the purchase of a used Angel paintball gun that appears to have been retrofit with any number of attachments and accessories. If you notice chafed threading, inexplicable holes, or suspicious bumps on the barrel that indicate paint, you may want to stay away from this model. The odds are good that the previous owner tried one too many upgrades and finally ruined the marker. For a newbie it is sufficient to buy cheap Angel paintball gun equipment and experiment a bit. Only a carefully developed feel for the way the Angel paintball equipment handles in its stock form will lead to a true appreciation of the regulators and the fact that the airflow could be further manipulated if so desired. Angel paintball aficionados probably will sagely nod in agreement at this time.
