Ok so i am going to do a pneumag conversion soon (after wedding honeymoon other stuff :D ) right now i have a 45/45k dyethrottle that used to run my vike through like a 5 hoppers. I have a sneaking suspicion that will not be the case with my pneu mag soon to have and my ULT mag i have now. SO my question is what is the the pneumag gonna run and what is the ULT gonna run as far as shots off of a 45k fill. I am planning on getting a flatline just wondering if i really need to upgrade to a totally new tank or if i can just send in the 45/45 for a conversion. Lemme know what you know. Thanks,

For the techies out there here is my setup:

X Valve (ULT/LX
Logic Vert Frame
RPG Shadow Rail
ULE Body
Dye 14in UL
Dye Throttle 45/45k
Empire reloader B

Thanks again AO would like some good hard evidence not "i dunno" or "i would guess"

Both mags should get similar efficiency. Pneu mags have not been shown to hog much more gas than regular mech mags. You should get around 700 shots per fill on both mags.

A properly adjusted sear stop and reg should help effieciency. Running a Pneumag with ULT helps the frame's effiecency because the operating pressure is lower. A mag would probably be best suited to run off a lerger tank though.

I posted this a little while ago about shorty24's mag. Look at the second video. For the record, someone counted around 85-90 shots using only the air found in the mag IIRC. So it gives you an idea that with the air to fire about 2 shots, the frame cycles about 90 times. So for every 50 for so paintballs, you loose a shot. If you get 500 shots off a 45/45, you now get 490. Basically the air the frame uses is fairly negligable, probably hurts the shot count less then a Level 10 does.


First... This is only a webcam. It is only his lowers. There is no paint. There is no valve. There is no spoon


Teaser Video...I forgot to turn the LPR up at first...haha.

This clip is to show the effieciency of a P-mag setup like this.Because it is only his lowers and there's no frame screws it sounds loud and pingy because the computer mic was being held INSIDE of the frame with my left.

My best work to date! Shorty24, I am going to cry when I ship this back to you...
:ninja: Unless I don't ship it back :ninja:

Here is the full final setup in action.
