Keep in mind that adjusting velocity is different for different types of markers.

let me clarify, this is inaccurate due to the physics involved. Tippmanns use Front velocity adjusters, which means they use airflow restrictment rather than a longer dwell time. Tippmanns (no matter the velocity) use the same amount of air per shot.

this is inaccurate.

How to Adjust the Velocity of a Paintball Marker

Hi! This is John. Now we’re going to be talking a little bit about something as I mentioned earlier. I was talking about a hot gun. To adjust the velocity on a paint ball marker, you have an Allen wrench and you have an adjustment screw on the left side of the paint ball marker here as you see. What you will need to do to adjust it down or lower velocity, is take this Allen wrench and put into the screw and then turn it clockwise. What this will do is it will restrict the gas coming into the paint ball marker to lower your velocity. Likewise, turning it counter clockwise, it will allow more gas to come from the tank into the paint ball marker, increasing your velocity. Be mindful that the lower the velocity the more that your gas will last in your tank. The higher the velocity means that you have used more gas in the tank.
