Paintball Pistols - Ariakon ACP 2.0
If you enjoy playing scenario ball or woodsball, sooner or later you will need a sidearm to complement your main weapon for those tight spots on the field which require quick movement and the ability to shoot fast. Traditionally pistols are the weapon of choice for officers in the field. While they are light and easy to carry around, they lack the accuracy of a good rifle. Most sidearms are virtually useless at any distance greater than 50 meters, and usually 25-50 meters is the best range at which to fire them. When searching for a paintball pistol marker, don't expect the same accuracy you get with your longer barreled rifle, or you will be disappointed. That said, there are several decent sidearms to choose from on the paintball field. The purpose of this article is to review one of the better choices for a starting paintball pistol - the Ariakon ACP 2.0.
Ariakon ACP 2.0 is the second generation Ariakon paintball pistol marker. It definitely has some nice upgrades and there is a major difference between firing this marker and firing the first generation model. Users in general have noted that the pistol is somewhat top heavy which will take some getting used to if you have any experience firing real pistols. The precision of the Ariakon ACP 2.0 is rather nice considering that the stock barrel included with the marker is a total of eight inches in length.
Overall the Ariakon is a quality made pistol for paintball. The marker itself weighs in at 2.2 pounds. The ACP 2.0 is constructed primarily of solid, metal components. It comes standard with two separate caliber bore sized muzzles and can be upgraded to run a Spyder threaded barrel. The ACP 2.0 runs a 12 gram CO2 cartridge
Some users of the ACP 2.0 have found it difficult to change out the CO2 cartridge quickly as the barrel extends out beyond the CO2 cap. If this is your first time using the pistol, it would be wise to spend some time practicing so that you can get used to changing your cartridge quickly rather than fumbling around with your marker on the field. Depending on the weather and how your marker is chrono'd, you can expect to get anywhere from 20 - 34 shots from one CO2 cartridge.
One of the largest strengths of the ACP 2.0 is the speed at which you can unload and reload magazines into the weapon itself. It is perhaps the fastest loading pistol on the paintball field in that regard. It takes literally seconds to drop and reload a second magazine into the pistol. Once it is in, the magazine cartridge has been known to wobble a little, but it won't fall out.
I would recommend the ACP 2.0 pistol marker for scenario players and woodsball players. It is wonderful as a back up weapon or when running quick and hitting hard. This weapon is perfect for bunker assaults and other hit and run tactics. It is highly upgradeable and will last you for quite some time with a reasonable price tag.

increased air psi for spyder rodeo paintball rifle?
I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to increase my psi rate of shot for my '05/'06 spyder rodeo sniper paint ball rifle,without using NOS. It's at about 500 psi now and I noticed that it goes up way more than that, but I cannot figure this out. Someone told me to try the little round dial at the back of the gun but it didn't do anything, I am also wondering if you can do this by the little screws in the pistol grip handle thats in front of the trigger space. If anyone can help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I assume you are trying to adjust the FPS not PSI. FPS is feet per second, or how fast the paintball is traveling. PSI is the pressure of the gas inside the gun. They are related, but you dont need more PSI to get more FPS. The knob on the back of the gun increases FPS, making you paint go faster. Don't screw this knob in all the way, it can be very dangerous to other players, and cause you alot of chopping problems. Always try to check your FPS with a paintball chronograph.
