My question is is just before it leaks air that the mini mag reaches the max velocity and range, or is there a sweet spot below this?
If there are any other tips for getting more range out of my marker I would greatly appreciate it. I have a 14" barrell and we tend to play with whatever paint someone picks up as we take turns buying a box.
If the minimag vents then you have exceeded the maximum safe velocity for a level 7 mag. This is usually quite a bit above the safe value of 300fps. If you haven't got the range of the other players and you are using a 14" barrel, then it is very probable that the velocity of the other guns is well above 300fps and should be turned down.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
