How did AGD do it?

[WenULiVeUdiE]

I recently read an article about the RT from '96. It said AGD fired the RT at 26 bps. But this all before the Halo or any other force feed hopper. So how did they feed the beast? An early version of the warp?

Where did you read the article?

might have been measured CPS...

Knowing AGD, they probably made somethign themselves.
Hell, I know what I would have done.
LONG tube
100 paintballs in said tube.
Presurized piston, or a simple weight in the tube.
Put tub onto top of marker.
Fire.

Then again, that's just me.

The article is at the bottem. " with an electronic trigger pulling test device and forced feed system (which Kaye declined to describe), AGD has fired paint through the RT at a rate of 26 balls per second. "

I was thinking something similar. Seems like the easiest path to take.

Too bad Tom didnt patent that 'electronic trigger pulling device'

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Electronic trigger pulling device does not sound like an electronic gun. Sounds more like something the NPPL used to catch guns with bounce and other cheats. If it was an electro marker they would have been able to show prior art during the Smart Parts fiasco.

Who knows, maybe Tom will find it in the Attic :D

Its basically a machine. Not something you could attach to your marker and run around with.

was problably the warp prototype

Weight wouldn't help at all... ask Gallileo about it sometime.

It would keep them from bouncing back up.

could be weight from gravity that einstien says was a force that pulled light downwards

saw it on PBS once

[AGD]

We used compressed air blowing down a long tube filled with balls. This was done originally by Ronnie Howel using several loops of hose with compressed air blowing through it in a back pack so we knew it was possible.

Oh wait... ;) :rolleyes:

thanks for still being a presence in here

i love you
