    classic valve w/ level 10 max rof

    so when ever i play its either with a x valved mag or a pump mag...the x's never have a problem keeping up with my fingers and the pump is just that, pump and shoot...but when i played with a classic valve w/ level ten it seemed like the valve would not keep up with my shooting...i would get about 3 or 4 quick shots and then the valve seemed like it was starving for air? about 850 output tank(same tank i use on with my x valves)...i know the recharge rate is way slower in a classic but is this the norm for the valve?thanks

    I think it was capped at 16, before dropoff, although the trigger pull is so heavy, I doubt anyone could get above 10-12ish... maybe spiking, but not steady. IDK man.

    The level 10 will generally be a slight bit lower rate of fire than a level 7 mag, but not by much. The average user won't notice, because at that rate of fire, there are more inaccuracies due to user induced gun wobble than by any slight velocity drop off.

    Starvation of a level 10 classic valve is more a result of level 10 bolt stick causing a slower than normal reset than it is function of a slower recharge rate.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

    maybe i just need to break in the level 10 a little more? or do you think i should mess with the carriers? it currently doesnt have any leaks but i know is should be able to shoot faster than 4 in a row wihout drop off?

    Yes, if you are not chuffing with the trigger, a classic valve will run over 10bps easily. 14bps in ep's and pneus, and occasionally 18bps with a lot of work.

    Do you know if this mag shot fine without a level 10? There are plenty of other causes of shoot down. One is that the trigger rod has no gap behind the trigger.

    Its not as slow as you think it is.

    Here we go. Classic valve 20BPS no shoot down. Just put a Hyper frame on it.

    Where did Hitech Go??

    i dont know how it shot before the level ten but i kind of have an idea its the frame i have on there, its a dye double trigger frame, maybe i could try to use my intelli on it instead
