powertube tip difference?

[David9862]

Is there a difference between these 2 powertube tips? They are both from a.i.r. valves. One of them is tappered while the other has a step on the inside. Is one better than the other?

The tapered PT tip was designed to extend the power pulse by releasing the air at a more gradual rate whereas the counterbored tip is more or less an instant blast of air.

The purpose was to make the gun more gentle on paint, but after the R&D was put into Level 10, AGD found out that the real issue was the bolt speed and not the air pressure behind the ball.

so is one better than the other?

Use the taper cone tip.
