I love the looks of mine. Haven't tried it out on the field yet though

yeah the 1 inch front are awesome :)
I have one and it looks real nice :)

Love your setup by the way :)

[ManInBlack]

Thanks. I haven't actually gotten to play with it yet. I guess I'm saving it for this winter when I'll play at the smaller indoor field instead of the usual woodsball.

I like them too :D

I got a 1" front from someone else (I'll never order from WWA again) and I've occasionally had trouble getting some guns to chrony past 250fps, especially a Sniper and an electro Autococker. It's the same problem I've had with my PGP every once in a while. The barrel ends up being too short to push the ball to full speed and turning up the velocity just wastes more air out the end of the barrel after the ball has left.

EDIT: I guess the point is don't wait until you get to the field to chrony :)

[ManInBlack]

I've heard of that but the field I'm planning on taking this to is very small and only allows up to about 260-270 fps.

[ManInBlack]

I like them too :D

This is actually the gun I was thinking of when I decided how compact I wanted mine to be :)

[Ruler_Mark]

I use to have a differnt 1 in tip, had no problem with chronoing with the RIGHT insert.

[Madmarx]

Can I show my Tip too?

Well thats a relief. I haven't chronied mine yet. But I would be mad if I couldn't get her up to speed.

[ManInBlack]

I've heard mixed reviews about the accuracy from this barrel/tip combination. I haven't shot mine yet, so could someone who has jump in and let us know how well it performed? Also, how loud is it compared to a 12-14" barrel?

I honestly didn't notice much difference when I used it on my SFT and it was only slightly louder.
I prefer shorter barrels anyway so I didn't notice much if any change in accuracy.

[MAGgot]

You won't have any problem getting it to chrono. In fact, the longer the tip, the more time air has to vent out of the barrel = lower fps than when it exited the freak insert. That's hard to put into typing, but I hope it makes sense.

[Ruler_Mark]

Its very loud, rec'ers are afraid of it.

Cool. :bounce:

Yah but yours is different. :shooting:

Wow, that is an awesome marker man.. looks reall slick and compact.. I love it :)

Oh, well that explains it, I was trying to shoot it without any inserts at all. I'm glad you cleared that up. They should write that on the package someplace.

I'm may not be the brightest bulb on the tree, but I'm not a moron either.

That's hard to put into typing, but I hope it makes sense.So, I take it you've actually sat down with a chrony and checked it out? I have.

With all else being equal, meaning same gun...which in my case was both a brand new, first time out, Autococker Superstock and a seasoned 2k3 converted Sniper...same tank, same inserts (yes, I really did use an insert, and it was matched to the size of the ball, really) same paint, same time, same chrony, I was having a hard time getting the guns to shoot past 250fps. I switched to a longer Smart Parts progressive tip and it chronied fine.

"the more time air has to vent out of the barrel = lower fps" doesn't make sense to me, simply because when I tried it in real life the opposite was true. You may state it as a "fact", but I would like you to elaborate on your facts.

See, I just can't wrap my head around this idea of yours that having a longer barrel tip with holes in it is somehow going to vent more propelled gases more quickly than empty space.

i think they'd look sweet with the crown tip mill in the front :ninja:

Well when I shot the tip on a 1/2'd mini'd mq'd cocker, I would not hit 280+ unless the ball was slightly under-bored. I meant right as in right size not insulting you as if you didnt use one, no offense meant bro
