The Smart Parts is a well known manufacturer of paintball guns and accessories. One of their latest design and edition is the Small Parts Vibe.

Along with SP1, EOS, and the Ion Xe, the Smart Parts Vibe was released and introduced in the market. Basically, the Vibe is a high quality, low cost paintball gun that was produced and manufactured by Smart Parts. This marker is very suitable for beginners in this field of recreation as well to recon players. Being a competitive marker for a low price, it is one great investment a player can get.

Design. The Vibe is one of the lightest and most quiet electropneumatic guns in the market. It weighs only about 1lb and 11oz with a length of 8.75 inches. Even with the tank and the barrel on it, one can comfortably control the marker.

Along with the comfort, this paintball marker is not just made up of common plastics. It is made up of glass fiver reinforced nylon grip for the frame and the body making it more durable and harder compared to others. It has an aluminum receiver or bolt and is equipped with various firing modes. You can choose from a tournament lock semi auto, the 3-round burst, full-automatic firing mode or you may prefer a semi auto. It may not have an anti-chop eyes but its low force bolt nearly cancels chopping.

Performance. The Vibe initially has a maximum firing rate of 11 bps which can still be increased with some few upgrades. Though it is neither the fastest nor the most accurate marker, the 11bps firing rate is quite competitive already. Also, it has an operating pressure of 180 psi that works well with CO2, compressed air and nitrogen. Another impressive feature of this paintball gun is the Max Flow R Vertical Regulator which protects its users from the harmful effects of using 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.

You may want to upgrade some of its parts to further enhance its performance. To increase its firing rate, you may change its board. You may also change the barrels. Since the Vibe uses the standard Smart Parts threading, any Smart Part barrel will fit.

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.
