I was woundering how many rounds can I get with the level 10 installed in the X valve? I have a 68cu 4500 and 68 5000psi. Can I get at least 1,000 rounds with the 68 5000 and 68 4500 about 900 at least? DOes anyone know how many rounds thanks!

Well your paint to barrell match and your output pressure are going to factor into this. I use a 68 4500 on my Xvalve with LX. It's set to about 900 psi and I get about 900 rounds per fill.

I hope that helps.

I have a 70 ci 4500 psi worr gas. I can get somewhere around 1,100 shots out of it. Running the shortest LX spring. Shooting 280 fps.

Bunkerking... look at it this way: so you may lose 50~100 shots on your current HPA config by installing Lvl X, how many of those 50+ shots are you going to waste trying to shoot through a broken paintball? How many of those 50+ shots are going to go crazy because the goo is affecting their trajectory? How much time are you going to lose by being forced to use a squeegee in game?

With Lvl X properly setup, you simply won't break paint, period. Those extra shots that you're losing out on are more then made up for by having the balls go where you want them to. And the best part, you won't need to carry a squeegee anymore :)

LX does decrease efficiency doesn't it? I get about 900 from a cheap steel 68/3000 on my level 7 valve... But I always have a good paint/barrel match...

you should also consider what your tank is filled to. You may have a 4500 or 5000 psi tank, but many fields only fill to 3k or sometimes lower. The pressure you walk onto the field with will determine how many shots. I know this concept is fairly obvious, but it should be considered when people report how many shots they get from so and so sized tanks.

I get between 900 and a 1000 with a flatline 68 4500

hunter100,

my local store and field can boost up to 4500psi and sometimes up to 5000 (depends how much air they have left). I just wana know how many shots I can get off with a 68 5000psi air system? I have a intimidator also, and I get about 1200 rounds with my 68 5000psi. I HOpe to try out my new X valve soon and see how many rounds I really get with my 68 5000psi soon.

I carried a squeegee for a month after installing lvl 10, it ended up being used by other people, I haven't carried it since, haven't needed it.

I'm dead serious here, I have not had a chopped ball since installing lvl 10, and I've easily put 50+ cases of paint through my Emag since installation.

i dont carry a squeegie any more either. 3 months w/ lvl10 playing every other weekend and i have not broken a ball yet. i love carrying a mag around having everyone look at you funny when they ask to borrow your squeegie and you tell them that you dont even carry one. :eek: :D
