Smart Parts has been known as an excellent maker of various paintball markers and its accessories. One of its proud products is their newest design and model named as the Small Parts Vibe.

The Smart Parts Vibe is an inexpensive paintball marker that was produced and manufactured by the Smart Parts. It has been released at the time where SP1, Ion Xe and the EOS were introduced in the market. This marker is very suitable for beginners in this field of recreation as well to recon players. As the Vibe enables players to save money because of its low price, it also provides them a satisfaction with its performance.

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.

The frames and the bodies are made up of glass fiber reinforced nylon grip. The receiver or the bolt on the other hand is made from aluminum. Though this paintball marker lacks anti-chop eyes, it does have a low force bolt which nearly eliminates chopping. It also has four firing option modes: full-automatic, 3-round burst, the semi automatic and the tournament lock semi automatic.

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.

Cleaning and Maintenance. Because of its design, maintenance is quite a breeze. Placing the bolt at the back, makes it easy for cleaning. 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. Sometimes, when you need to disassemble your gun, you need to be sure that all parts are returned properly to its places.

Upgrades. Upgrading the circuit board could significantly increase its rate of fire. One can also change its barrels using any Smart Parts barrel.

Advantages. The Smart Parts Vibe is one cheap gun with quality performance which is perfect for new players or even for those who are not. Costing you for only $140 to $150, it is one great deal you should not miss.
