LOL dont try 30 BPS without a straight shot from the scuba.

My airsystem definately can't keep up. The nitro duck SS4500s are supposed to be up there, it has been humbled as soon as the trigger was depressed the tank instantly dropped from 900 psi to 600 psi. At that point it was no longer able to feed the valve.

30 bps will have to wait until tomorrow where we can get a straight shot from the scuba.

EEEEEEK :eek:

30BPS!?!? Sheesh you people need to call Guiness! Yes... a straight shot from the scuba would be an idea.. but wouldn't that 3000 psi input be hard to regulate?

lol
so you are trying the 30 bps valve speed test. if it works crank it to 31 then 32 until it misfires. i wanna see how fast it will accualy go

we wait till the tank drops to 1500

hey butters, can you hook the scuba line up to the tank, and then the tank to the gun???? would that work? like use the tank reg to regulate the 300 psi to a safe level?

wouldnt that be great advertising...

the tank reg cant keep up. It as soon as i pull the trigger the gun starts firing 30 bps then the tank drops to 600 psi from 900 psi and the gun stops firing because the input is insufficent to support the ROF.

um.. d00d
Is this on an emag?
I thought their valves could only handle liek 26 bps without shootdown

thats great. ive never heard of enyone outshooting the tank. but does the valve work that fast?

im sure hes just dry fireing at 30 times a second

BTAutoMag

thats a good point... i suggest you start at 26 bps and work you way up. this way you can work out any problems.

lol, im pretty sure they know what they are doing:)

the gun will cycle 30 CPS as long as the input stays above around 800 psi.

The tank was set at 900 which was the max. It started firing 30 bps for about 6 shots until the tank dropped to 600psi from 900psi and was inssufficent to support the ROF.

If we can keep the pressure above 800-900 at all times 30 CPS is no problem.

The problem is that no regulator other than the RT reg can flow that much air so we are gonna have to straight shot it from a half empty scuba tank so there is less flow restriction.

make sure youre recording this. its gonna be some kind of a record.

we will be recording it on an MPEG with an analog time peice on display so critics don't think we are speeding the video up.

If you had access to a Regulated fill station, would you be able to us that to bring the pressure down to a useable level or would that reg not be able to keep up as well? Best of luck to you in the experiment I hope you can pull it off.

I doubt regs will keep up :)

Butterfingers,

I've followed your posts on what you've been doing with the E-Mags ROF, I'm wondering if you are eating up sears? I know there's no way to tell, but I'm also curious how much heat is generated from the excessive speed.

how about getting one of those "T" Elbows and running 2 air sources? I dunno about this straight shot thing, are you running it into fill nipple of tank, or straight into gun....thats kinda scary :(

Ummm....FLATLINE????

Shouldn't the new Flatline reg keep up?

Just wondering.

you guys should use this as a test to test nitro systems, the new Conquest ones are suppose to be really good with flow.

dont know never tried... THE SS4500 has always been enough until now.

I don't know what don was using (probably MY scuba tank) but he has had his e-magnum up at 30 cps before.

I bet I can make the people at mac dev cry. The ss4500's are supposed to flow as well as max flows.

The mac dev wont work anyway it cant be set over 600 psi.

To acheive 30 bps we need a steady input of around 900 psi with no dropoff.

I wish i could part take in these paintball experiments

really? I thought the MacDev's were suppose to really surpass anything out there

Well, all we need now is some kina consistancy tester

ahh.30bps. thats near impossible

Butters & Don... You 2 are truely sick... I think you need to spend less time proving that paintball technology is way too far behind and spend more time on advertising your products so everyone buys mags and emags!
