Take a look at this odd Mag...

[rictus]

The reg is the restrictor not the on/off. Go to Deep blue and read what Tom says here:

The RT recharges faster because it bypasses the regulator and regulates the air as it fills the chamber.
Regulators are almost always the weak link in air systems.
I agree that the stock AIR valve actually recharges faster than most people think. There are usually other things causing problems if there is major shootdown.

Okay. the on/off does restrict airflow, causing shootdown. sure there's a lot of factors to figure in, but the most restrictive parts would be regulators and on/offs. the mag is actually set up WONDERFULLY. blowback wouldnt be bad at all. stick a barrel plug into your barrel, hold your hand over the powerfeed, you feel blowback. now take that out, and you feel NOTHING. same on classics. you feel NO air coming back up. mags dont create much interference like you may think. ive got my classic set up much like this. ive taken out the reg pin, spring, and seat, and left it empty. you unscrew my halves, she's got nothing in there. i run a 68 preset into a palmer stabilizer, and adjust my input through that. sorry AGD, while your regs ARE some of the best, my palmer was a bit more stable. i get 2-4 fps fluctiation, regularly now. i have my first shot BAD after i gas up. always is bad. then the next three make 2 feet fluctuations. i see now shootdown, of course i may fire 8 shots a second max, n9ot a heavy fire guy, but i still see zero. all balls fly one after the other straight. if im longballing a bunker, they fall in a 1 foot pattern at most. jsut a thought on why this would be a great mag. and its sweeter with the hyperframe. heck yeah.
