Paintball Smoke Grenades - Fun, Painless Smoke Grenades
Important buying tips
Paintball is a popular gun sport that's getting people of all ages hooked. Paintball is not as harmful and dangerous as actual gun sport, but it can still cause damage to people who do not exercise care when playing. There are tons of paintball accessories available, one of which is the smoke grenade.
Smoke range - choose a smoke grenade that has a wide smoke range. There are grenades that can generate smoke for up to 500,000 cubic feet. Be sure, though, that you are only using these for wide open spaces to avoid any accidents.
In paintball
In paintball, though, a smoke grenade will not result to such painful effects. Smoke grenades in paintball are used for shielding against your opponent. The two kinds of paintball smoke grenades are:
Flameless paintball smoke grenades - these are battery-operated grenades that are flameless but produce a big smoke. These are great for police and military training.
When buying a smoke grenade, look out for the following:
Time limit - pick grenades that produce long lasting smoke. Some grenades produce smokes for two minutes or less, while there are those that produce smoke for up to 10 minutes long.
Standard paintball smoke grenades - these can produce up to 100,000 cubic feet of orange smoke and have an effect of up to four minutes. Standard paintball smoke grenades have to be manually ignited, where you have to pull a pin just like pulling the pin from a bomb.

The Greek runner Yiannis Kouros has consistently made his mark as the leading ultrarunner in both distance and multi-day races, and holds the vast majority of the available world records - including recently at the Colac 6-day race in 2005 where he achieved an astonishing total of 1036km. In 2004 the Danish runner Jesper Olsen won the Colac 6-day en route to becoming the first person to achieve a fully documented run around the world.
However, it was only with the marathoning craze in the 1970's that interest in the ultrarunning really took off. In 1982 a group of people British RAF officers decided to test whether the original story behind the marathon was true - whether it was feasible that the Greek messenger Pheidippides has really run all the way from the Battle of Marathon to Sparta in 36 hours. They verified it was indeed feasible and the next year the Spartathlon was born. Other races were begun in extreme climes that tested the limit of endurance - for example the Badwater race in Nevada, which aimed to go from the lowest to the highest point in the continental United States over a distance of 135 miles. Begun in 1986, the Marathon des Sables is a seven day race through the Moroccan Sahara, and is considered one of the toughest events in the world.
Many people imagine the marathon to be the pinnacle of running endurance, but people have been pushing themselves to even further distances since the middle of the last century. It seems hard to imagine now, but in the 1870's up to 75,000 people would gather to cheer on the contestants in six-day walking events in America, with the winners gaining national fame and astronomical earnings by the standards of that time. It all started in 1867 when Edward Payson walked from Portland to Chicago in 25 days, captivating the nation. A rivalry quickly developed between Payson and Daniel O'Leary, a recently-immigrated Irish farmer, and this rivalry spurred a series of 6-day races which developed into a "Long-Distance Championship of the World". The format quickly changed from walking to walk/run, with participants only sleeping a few hours a night and continuing on. Fred Hitchborn set a new record of 565 miles for this event, and pioneered African-American participation in sport. However the rise of the automobile and the lack of promoters led to the popularity of the series dying out in the early 20th century.
However other great ultramarathons were being started up at the same time. In 1921 the first Comrades Marathon was held in South Africa to commemorate soldiers fallen during World War 1. This 90 kilometre long race has now become the world's longest ultramarathon, attracting a field of 13,000 yearly. During the apartheid era, this marathon was notable for being one of the few events where people participated regardless of colour. In 1953 a London to Brighton ultramarathon was established along a popular car touring route and continued for over 50 years. In the 1950's and 60's, Ted Corbitt was a noted ultrarunning pioneer and is indeed today known as 'the father of modern ultrarunning'.

Very Close Encounter With A Lunch Bag
The first air-to-air encounter with a soaring bird is another rather special experience for a soaring pilot. For me, it happened during a ridge-soaring flight on the small range of hills near Locheil, in South Australia. Heading towards the southern end of the range, I noticed a large bird, also doing a spot of ridge-soaring. On having a closer look it turned out to be an average-sized hawk of some kind.
At several thousand feet, I spotted a hang glider thermalling upwards several kilometers away. Naturally, I went over to join him, but curiosity was compelling me just as much as the prospect of a climb! Sliding under the hang-glider, maybe 300 feet below it, I then spent too much time trying to gawk at it and not enough time concentrating on my own climb in the thermal.
This next encounter is commonplace for many many soaring pilots, but it's a magical moment the first time you experience it. Again flying the Blanik L13, but solo on this occasion. It was a good soaring day, and I remember looking upwards as I spiraled up under a large cumulus cloud.
Maintaining the climb for as long as I dared, the great gray cavern got bigger and bigger overhead. I noticed the horizon had disappeared, in all directions. The air was deliciously cool. Here I was in the slightly concave underbelly of a healthily growing cumulous cloud. A whisp of grey shot past me to my right. Mmm, flying through scraps of cloud now, better get out of here, and fast. I pushed the nose way down, accelerating the Blanik up to a noisy 80 knots (150 kph) or so, before punching out into the brilliant sunshine that lay beyond the rim.
Soaring pilots of all types are familiar with 'thermals', those columns or sometimes bubbles of rising air that are warmer than the surrounding air. In central Australia, where I learnt to fly in the 70's, the summer thermals were often very strong. The thermal core, just a few meters across, would sometimes suck dust from the ground up to high altitudes.
Perhaps this isn't the most important soaring article ever written, however it should prove to be an interesting little read! Join me as I recollect some memorable aerial encounters during my years of soaring flight. A few things here to raise the eyebrows of pilot and non-pilot alike.
Rough Encounter With A Thermal Core
Close Encounters Of The Soaring Kind
By now, the bag was gently floating down through the air, losing altitude at a similar rate to the glider. Heaving the old Bocian onto one wing tip, I wheeled around tightly, turning back to look for the bag. It wasn't hard to spot. As it got closer, I had to make some very quick last-second adjustments on the controls to get close to the bag. Missed the first time. But after a few tries, FWOPPP there it was, pinned across the open air-vent flap! It really made my day. After landing, the bag was still jammed in the vent, and there's a photo to prove it...
First Encounter With A Hang Glider
Conclusion
Seeing he was out-climbing me, I left the thermal after a few minutes to avoid further embarrassment, hehe. But it was an interesting experience, watching such a minimal aircraft in flight. I could clearly see the pilot enthusiastically shifting his weight around, guiding the craft into the strongest regions of lift.
Determined to get an even closer look, I turned away from the ridge and approached the bird from behind, flying as slowly as safely possible. Wings outstretched, the hawk appeared almost motionless as it flew directly into the light westerly breeze. As my glider drew alongside, the creature twisted its neck to get a good look at me too. Two beady hawk eyes summed up the giant white bird which dared to share it's territory, for just a moment. My flying speed was far greater than the hawk's, so I soon left it behind. I never saw it again, but the memory certainly lingered!
Magical Encounter With A Cumulus Rim
Anyway, I was on a training flight with my instructor and we spotted some tell-tale dust some distance away. We lost no time in flying towards and then entering that thermal. What happened next took us by surprise, as we flew directly through the core. WHAM! The old Blanik L13 bucked skywards. A split second later, the huge upwards acceleration stopped, and every bit of dust and debris in the cockpit hit the top of the perspex canopy and then rained down on us again. We just grinned! Needless to say, it turned out to be a great thermal!
To be precise, a small brown paper bag. I just decided it would be fun to attempt to hit a small object in midair. A sort of flying accuracy test! With 1000 meters (3000 feet) or so in hand, out went my empty lunch bag, through the clear vision panel of the canopy. Then, I flew straight for a while to put some distance between the Bocian 2-seater I was flying and the bag.

Safety issues
Smoke Grenades - The Lowdown on Flameless Smoke Grenades
Flameless smoke grenades are characterized by remote-controlled ignition, ignited using batteries with up to 9 volts of power in capacity. Since they offer more flexible ignition control, they are best used for military, firemen, and police training, although some paintball enthusiasts also use them from time to time. They are used as ground-to-air or ground-to-ground signaling devices, landing zone and target marking devices, as well as screening devices for unit movements. They have cylindrical bodies made of sheet steel with emission holes located at the top and bottom for smoke release when ignited, with fillers normally consisting of 250 to 350 grams of colored smoke moisture (mostly made up of dye, lactose, and potassium chlorate).
Buying tips
When you're buying flameless smoke grenades, take into consideration that they come with different capacities. If you're going to be using it in a small field, look for one that gives you coverage of 30,000 cubic feet. For bigger fields, you can find some that can give you as much as 500,000 cubic feet of coverage. If you want, you can opt to use several small ones for a big field. However, it is never wise to use high-capacity smoke grenades for small areas.
The word "rifle" originated from the name "rifled gun," which refers to a firearm with a stock and a long barrel having spiral grooves cutting or rifling into the interior of the target. Bullets are used as ammunition while operating this weapon and are propelled by explosive compounds. These explosives have changed over time, initially being black powder and then cordite, all the way to the present use of nitrocellulose. As the name suggests, hunting rifles are typically used for hunting and are essential companions of hunters all over the world. The design and look of these rifles reflects a tough and stable appeal that is typical to the character of a hunter and thus, an indispensable equipment to carry. It not only fulfills their hunting missions, but also is also essential for their own safety purposes while hunting in dangerous and risky conditions.
Hunting rifles are distinguished by their performance standards and are available in different calibers and cartridges. They are designed specifically for hunting big or small games matched for long shots for hunting deer, antelopes, and prairie dogs. Custom-made barrels are part of these rifles, especially those used for hunting dangerous games. They come in various looks and appeals including stainless steel, chrome-moly, walnut, and all-weather fiberglass stocks. They are chambered in different calibers to match the need of the hunter's choice and size of the game.
Hunting rifles are loaded with specific hunting bullets that have been already proven effective by experienced hunters. The balancing of a hunting rifle is very important and plays an important role in hitting the game right on target. Thus, it is essential to check the performance and balance of the rifle while buying a hunting rifle. The performance again is based on a well-balanced cartridge, typically designed for hunting purposes.
A huge collection of hunting rifles can be found online. A detailed description of each model and its cartridge and caliber accompany the rifle details. One of the most popular and famous designs of the hunting rifle is the Jerry Fisher design, built with intricate craftsmanship and high-tech manufacturing methods. Owning the perfect hunting rifle, thus adds glory and pride to the hunter's collection of hunting equipment.

Paintball For Newbies and Dummies
If you want to be serious about your paintball game, then it's high time to do some exercises that are a combination of cardio workout and strength training. Do a combination of these for at least 3 times a week but don't overdo it and exercise everyday. Let you body rest in between workouts. Cardio workouts can be as simple as jogging or riding a bike. Strength training improves your speed and endurance to last the whole game without getting too tired. Diet is also important; choose fruits and vegetables instead of fatty and sugary food.
As you get your feel around the game and advance to advanced levels, then you can invest on high tech equipment which would improve your speed, hitting accuracy and agility in playing the game.
Paintball is slowly gaining ground and raising interest in a lot of people today. Back in the 1980s a couple of friends wanted to simulate the African safari experience of one of their friends and invented a raw version of paintball, where they hunt their opponents rather than animals in the forest.
About 10 million Americans are playing paintball, most of which are male with ages ranging from 18 to 40. It can totally encompass any age bracket. Players are usually divided in teams and in its most basic form, in order to win, you need to shoot or take down all the players of the imposing team. A lot of variations already came out and since it's a sport with no rigid structure, you and your friends can add your own twist to the game.
The basics of the game are simple. There are variations available but the simplest is to take out every member of the opposing team by hitting them with a paintball. Another popular variation is getting the flag of the opposing team; whoever gets the flag faster is the winner. Lastly, there is a variation called 'king of the hill' in which the teams try to capture the base of the opposing team. Whoever holds the base 'hostage' the longest wins the game.
Remember, the most important thing in playing paintball is having FUN!
The basic equipment of paintball are masks, paintball gun and paintball. Paintball masks are customized for the game and it usually comes with earflaps and would cover the whole of the face. The actual paintball is a soft gel capsule with paint inside which would break easily upon contact. Paintball equipment usually costs somewhere around $100 but if you're just starting then I would recommend that you rent the equipment first from the paintball field where you will be playing. This will cost less with $10 to $80 per day.

On the other hand, another type of fin configuration is the quad tips. This type of fin is made with four fins with two fins on either side of the board. This type of fin configuration gives the rider tighter and quicker turns, however, this type of fin will feel loose during turn maneuvers. Another type of fin configuration is the six fins. This type of fins give more control to the rider and helps give better acceleration during turns. Because of the six fins with the removable center fin in this configuration, this type of fins is suited to rough and unsteady waters. Meanwhile, the molded-in fin is another type of fin configuration and it maximizes the grip on the edge that allows the rider to maintain control of the board while giving the option to remove the center fin in smooth water.
Many people are aware of the different uses and advantages of wakeboarding equipments but one of the overlooked parts of wakeboards is the wakeboard fins. These wakeboard fins are the ones that maintain the balance of the person in the wakeboard and keep the wakeboard going into the direction it is pointed to. The wakeboard fins are also responsible in making drags that in turn pulls down the rear of the wakeboard to track the water.
Wakeboard Fins
As you can see, each of the fin configurations has its own advantages and wake boarder prefer each type of fin over the other based on the water conditions in their area or the location where they prefer to wakeboard. But it is also important that a rider feels comfortable with the fin he is using because this will cause an effect on his overall performance. Wakeboard fins are made from aluminum because this material is sturdy and strong while remaining lightweight. This is the perfect material suited for wakeboard fins but some wakeboard fins are also made from fiberglass.
There are also many types of fin configurations you should know about because this is essential when you need to choose a fin. An example of fin configurations is the singles which is made from one center fin on the two ends. The advantages of singles include turns that are easier to maneuver and the fins will have a lesser chance of catching when compared to multi fin. Also, you need to acquire larger single fins when you want to go into rougher waters.
