When thinking about a mask things you look for are style, comfort, durability, and ANTI FOGGING!!!
Well
Empire E-Vent Mask is my mask of choice, I have used several other masks,and none compare to these.
I wish I would have purchased these first before wasting lots of money.

Review:- SP1
This weekend was the first time using my
Smart Parts SP1 and It is awesome, with the multiple firing modes make this marker a force to be reckoned with!!!!
It felt great, and after shooting 2000 balls,and never breaking 1.
I used a Vilocity Jr. electric loader,and the marker on its factory settings. Other players were using the SP1 with gravity fed hoppers, and had no problems at all.
I rate the SP1 a great 9 out of 10

Finding the right
paintball gun barrel that can meet your needs is a sometimes difficult process. Trust me, I know. Everyone has a different preference and there are so many to choose from so many manufacturers. What may work for me, you may find is a complete disaster for you.
LZpaintball is here for you. I’ve heard your cries for and help and I’ve felt your pain. So, I put together this little list of different factors that affect the accuracy and range of a barrel of your gun.
Design - The typical barrel of a paintball gun is made up of three major parts - the threading, the barrel shaft, and the porting. Threading is the spiral grooves located at the end of the gun which allow the barrel to be screwed into the gun. The solid portion of the gun’s barrel is known as the barrel shaft. This is place where the balls are shot down. The final part of the barrel is the porting. This is found near the end of the barrel with holes or openings on the sides of the barrel before the end and where the paintball exits the gun.
Material - There are a lot of different barrels out there on the market. You’ll also notice that they are made from a variety of different materials such as steel, aluminum and carbon fiber. The material of the barrel doesn’t affect the gun’s performance but it does play a role in how light the gun is.
Threading - It may seem obvious but I’ve run into many players who have made the unfortunate mistake of using the wrong threads on the wrong gun. I guess they don’t care too much about their guns. The point is different guns have different threads. Barrels with the wrong threads for your gun shouldn’t and normally won’t fit. For example, when you purchase a barrel for a
Smart Parts gun, make sure you get a Smart Parts threaded barrel. Some manufacturers do sell adapters to change from one threading to another, but I recommend using the proper threading for your gun all together.
Length - I play with a guy who thinks that a longer barrel is a more accurate barrel. I’ll admit that’s somewhat true but not always. I never use a barrel longer than 12 or 14 inches since I have noticed numerous changes in the gun’s performance. The reason why players like the long barrel is all due to that physics stuff. The longer a paintball travels down a barrel, the more time it has to straighten out its trajectory, therefore giving you more consistently from one shot to the next. The negative of this is that more air is required to shoot the ball out of a longer barrel which causes it to be less efficient. Anyone who has ever played and lost to me in a match knows that I personally play with a 10 or 12 inch barrel.
Porting - The porting of the barrel are the holes on the sides near the tip. These reduce the sound of a gun firing. The porting allows the air to gradually escape from the barrel rather than in one load burst at the end. The more porting a barrel has then the quieter it will be, but with more porting you are losing efficiency in the gun since it will need more air to fire the ball.
Diameter - The key to good accuracy of your gun is not in the length of your barrel but how well your paint fits in the barrel. Barrels come in different sizes. Paintballs are supposed to .68 inches in diameter; however you’ll find that different brands of paintballs tend to be different sizes. Most of the manufacturers sell kits with multiple attachments so you can properly match your barrel to any size of paint.
The barrel of the paintball barrel is an important aspect of any gun, but it does not make or break how well it performs out in the fray. Next time you’re out there thinking about how to increase your gun’s performance, try to keep these few things in mind and you should be able to find what you need and more importantly, succeed.
