Glossary V
Articles containing information regarding Glossary V
- Vantage Point
A vantage point is any bunker position that provides superior visual or shooting access to multiple lanes, angles, or crossfield targets compared to surrounding positions.
- Velocity
Velocity refers to the speed at which a paintball leaves the barrel, measured in feet per second (FPS), and determines both safety compliance and effective on field performance.
- Velocity Adjustment
Velocity adjustment refers to the process of regulating how fast a paintball exits the barrel, ensuring the marker fires within safe and field approved FPS limits.
- Velocity Drop-Off
Velocity drop off is the reduction in FPS during sustained firing, caused by inadequate air delivery, regulator inconsistency, temperature shifts, or inefficiencies within the marker system.
- Vertical Line
A vertical line is a conceptual alignment of bunkers or sight lanes along the field’s north–south axis, influencing angles, containment structure, and bunker progression paths.
- Vertical Wrap
A vertical wrap is an upward or downward bunker wrap where the player uses the top or bottom vertical edge of the bunker to attack angles that cannot be accessed through typical horizontal peeks.
- Viewport Hit
A viewport hit is a shot that strikes the exposed portion of a player's mask lens area, usually during tight engagements where only the smallest fraction of the head is visible.
- Visibility Check
A visibility check is a deliberate scan of key field zones to update positional awareness, confirm threat angles, and track opponent movement without committing to aggressive exposure.
- Vision System
A vision system refers to a marker’s electronic or mechanical anti chop mechanism such as eyes or sensors that prevent firing when a ball is not fully seated in the breech.
- Visual Concealment
Visual concealment is the deliberate reduction of detectable visual cues such as movement, color contrast, and gear exposure to prevent opponents from identifying position or timing.
- Voice Call
A voice call is a verbal communication made during a point to relay live information such as eliminations, bunker identifiers, lane updates, or movement warnings.
- Volume Shooting
Volume shooting is the sustained application of high density fire to control lanes, suppress opponents, or shape movement patterns through constant pressure rather than precise shot placement.
