WHY DON'T YOU CARRY...?

Why don't you carry a certain brand or product?

At Velocity Paintball and Airsoft we get lots of questions about items people have seen on the Internet. They often wonder why we don’t carry a certain brand. There are lots of brands out there and we couldn’t fit everything in our store nor could we stand behind lots of aftermarket parts.

Why Velocity Paintball will stick to a certain brands over others; we have been in the paintball business for over 20 years. We have seen shops and manufacturers come and go in the industry. When carrying certain brands we look at 3 major criteria: value, consistency and manufacturer customer service.

Value: You can say it comes down to cost and it does but the product also has to have quality. Think of the old adage “You get what you pay for.” Some of the brands we carry might cost a little more but the quality of the product also stands up to the test of paintballs wear and tear. Quality should matter.

Consistency: We also want to carry products that carry that value and durability over time. From a barrel bag to paintballs, manufacturers have to be consistent with every product. This also means we want consistency with the products availability. There has been lots of trouble with this through the years. When a product sells well for a company they should take pride in that and make sure it’s available all year long. Whether it’s a high-end marker or an entry-level goggle. Every popular product and customer should matter.

Customer Service: This is probably the most important thing that wins our loyalty when selecting and continuing to carry a product. Manufacturer’s who are willing to listen to our constructive criticism or complaints concerning a product or service. We want to be sure the product we sell is taken care of by the manufacturer. We don’t want our customers to be limited in repair or upgrade of the items they have purchased. The Manufacturers and sales people we do business with uphold this kind of integrity.

We, the retail stores and fields, are the front lines when it comes to product review. If a paintball is inconsistent or a part isn’t available for a recently sold marker there is a breakdown for that company’s longevity. If a company wants to grow in paintball and assist the growth of paintball it needs to remain available to all of its customers needs.

Please come in to our store and touch and feel the product before you buy it. The prices are the same as online or better. Our sales technicians are very knowledgeable and can match you up with products that will fit your budget and needs.

WHAT IS AIRSOFT?

By Admin • 22 May, 2018
Airsoft is a military simulation based game. Opponents use *Airsoft replicas to shoot plastic BB’s. Airsoft is similar to Paintball because it can be fast paced and requires being hit by a projectile. The difference is the BB’s do not splat on impact. BB’s are not filled with any substance that could mark the hit opponent. It is a game of honor. Players must call themselves out when hit. Airsoft games are also much more technical and most game play is scenario based. There is usually and objective or many objectives to complete a game. Games can last 5 minutes in CQB/Speedsoft or hours in scenario type games. *Airsoft replicas are made to look like real firearms and come in all types of formats from pistols and rifles to snipers. It is very important for parents to understand what their kids are getting into and to treat all equipment that expels a projectile as if it were a real firearm. The safety should be engaged, magazines should be out and breach clear when not in an active game. Barrel blocking devices are also required and must attach to the replica to prevent accidentally expelling a projectile. Full face masks are required during play. Eye protection must be rated for Paintball and Airsoft play and sealed to the face to prevent entry to the eye area.. Your nose, cheeks, mouth and ears must be covered by Airsoft approved mesh or mask or a baklava that cannot be removed during play.

CAMO CUPCAKES

By Admin • 12 Apr, 2016
White cake mix according to directions. Half of the white cake mix will be used for the green or pink. I used green since it was a boys birthday party. 10 drops of food coloring is enough. Use two of the egg yolks (leftover from the white cake mix) and one more whole egg for the chocolate cake mix. Save money and buy one chocolate frosting and two white frosting from the dollar store. They are smaller but it’s all you’ll need. 5 – 7 drops of food coloring for the green or pink. Use a frosting bag with the flower tip. Put all three colors in the bag next to each other so they all come out at the same time. This was a fun activity for myself and the kids. Let them be part of making their special day happen.

DOT VS. ISO

By Admin • 21 Mar, 2016
Compressed Air Tanks require certification in the United States and Europe. In the United States the DOT ( Department of Transportation ) enforce the standards set by CGA ( Compressed Gas Association ). In Europe the UN ( United Nations ) and EU ( European Union ) enforce the standards set by ISO ( International Standards Organization ). It is very expensive for manufacturers in paintball, or any industry that uses cylinders, to be part of ISO and CGA. This ensures safety standards for all when it comes to manufacture and use of cylinders. If you have a tank with an ISO number and you live and play paintball in the US you need to make sure your tank also has the UN symbol and the USA certification code stamped on your tank in conjunction with the ISO number. If your tank only has an ISO number it is NOT VALID for use in the United States. All of these tanks are still subject to Hydro Testing every 5 years and all tanks have a 15-year lifespan. Be aware of tanks made by Inocom, Luxfer and Carelton that require a 3-year hydro test and 15-year lifespan. Be an ambassador for our sport. Make sure your gear is compliant with United States Standards. Drop your tank at any Velocity Paintball location for hydrotest. Cost is $25. Out of state? No problem. E-mail denise@velocitypb.com a picture of your tank label to make sure your tank meets the requirements. Fill out the Services Form with Payment Info. Click the link below.
