Mag Efficiency

[paint magnet]

First of all, let me make it clear that this is not a thread bemoaning poor efficiency, asking for a redesigned Automag, or any of those things.

I simply want to know how many shots per tank AGD guns average with their respective setups.


Please post

-Valve or gun type (RT, RTP/Emag, Xvalve, .68/MiniMag/Classic, Sydarm)

-Level 7 or Level 10 (or 5, 6, whatever)

-On/off setup (factory, ULT, Z-valve, etc.)

-Any valve modifications or aftermarket parts (ANS Phase II reg, PPS Sideline Stabilizer, Hurricane Labs reg, 8-hole mod, Magic Box, etc.)

-Airline setup (hose from tank straight to reg, remote line, routed through gasthru foregrip, secondary reg, etc.)

-Tank size and output pressure (68/4500 preset @850, 12 gram, 20 oz. CO2 on remote, 45/4500 adjustable @1,000, etc.)

-Average number of usable shots you get per fill, before velocity starts to drop

-Velocity you chrono'd the gun at before you started to play

-Barrel length and type (12" straight ported 1/2 length, 14" no ports, 8" spiral ported 1/4 length, etc. Specific brand not necessary)

Any other info you feel is relevant, like temperature, consistancy, etc.

I've always wondered about RT vs. Classic and Level 7 vs. Level 10 efficiency, in particular. I think if we get enough people contributing to this thread then it will become a useful resource. CO2 info is welcome too!

Thanks :cheers:
