When You Need Smart Parts Vibe

By Benedict Perez

Smart Parts has been known as an excellent maker of various paintball markers and its accessories. One of its proud products is their newest design and model named as the Small Parts Vibe.

The Smart Parts Vibe is an inexpensive paintball marker that was produced and manufactured by the Smart Parts. It has been released at the time where SP1, Ion Xe and the EOS were introduced in the market. This marker is very suitable for beginners in this field of recreation as well to recon players. As the Vibe enables players to save money because of its low price, it also provides them a satisfaction with its performance.

Design and Features. One can easily notice its attractive shape and contour. Weighing only of 1lb and 11oz, the marker is one of the lightest paintball guns out there. Even with the tank and the barrel on it, the marker is still comfortable and easy to handle. Without the barrel, it has a length of about 8.75 inches which is quite small making it more convenient to control.

The frames and the bodies are made up of glass fiber reinforced nylon grip. The receiver or the bolt on the other hand is made from aluminum. Though this paintball marker lacks anti-chop eyes, it does have a low force bolt which nearly eliminates chopping. It also has four firing option modes: full-automatic, 3-round burst, the semi automatic and the tournament lock semi automatic.

The Vibe has a maximum firing rate of 11 bps but can be improved with an upgraded circuit board. Its operating pressure is around 180 psi and works perfectly using CO2, nitrogen or compressed air. Moreover, this paintball gun is protected by Max Flow R Vertical Regulator which makes Smart Parts Vibe perfectly free from the hazardous effect liquid CO2.

One of the most common misconceptions is that the Vibe costs you too much gas. Well actually, the Vibe is air efficient. Those who think otherwise are those people who do know how to read and follow manual instructions. Upon purchase, the Vibe is designed and set up to use CO2 as its gas source. If you preferred using others, you need to open the grip and remove the battery. Then, you need to put the battery back while pushing down the power button. You would know that it is now set to HPA mode when the button blinked twice. These are the plain and simple steps one should follow. Never ignore manuals. It really does make a lot of difference.

Maintenance. One good aspect of its design is that the bolt is placed at the back making its cleaning and maintenance quite easy. One just needs to clean their gun regularly and lubricate them, especially after each game. You also need to ensure that your 9v batteries are charged properly. Also, do not forget to return all the parts in its proper places whenever you disassemble or open up your gun.

Upgrades. Upgrading the circuit board could significantly increase its rate of fire. One can also change its barrels using any Smart Parts barrel.

Purchasing a gun for $140 to $150, it is one great deal you should not miss. Especially if you are an individual who is just starting out with the sport, the Vibe is suitable for you as it gives you a high quality of performance in a low price. - 16887
