Posted as a word of caution
Ok - cause of this - a bad regulator seat (at least repalcing the seat fixed it).
I was setting my gun on the target range with the chrono to test the other day - with single shots over the chrono I was getting 270-280 range, if I let the gun sit for a few minutes it was a touch higher than that 280-290. The thing that worried me here, if I fired a string of shots quickly, then paused for half a second and fired another the velocity spiked - to like 370+ - just watching those balls fly they would have hurt. I am using a smart mag valve on this gun. I did fix the problem before playing - but my concern here, someone setting there gun, and then chronoing it with spaced shots in front of the refs, could accidentally take a gun onto the field that shot very very hot, anyone else ever have this issue?
