Performance expectations - Velocity and ball breaks

[Spider-TW]

-I am using a Ninja SHP Compressed air tank with an output pressure of 1250 lbs
-This causes the gun to RT like crazy... it can be difficult to get a single shot as opposed to a burst... maybe this is causing some of the chrono inconsistency (I'm surprised the field is even letting me use it).

If you pull a shim or two out of the SHP, the rate will slow down and be more controllable. When you get a handle on that, the refs think you have a ramping board. "What modes does that have?"

The other end is you get into a big "urban" game with good paint and an RT. You can drop a couple of cases of paint without trying.

If I remember correct the proper way to Chrono an rt is by shooting a ball and holding in the trigger. Then quickly releasing and shooting a ball and hold in the trigger. Ect.

and the velocity difference at the chrono can be up or down, depending on your input pressure. That difference is consistent on the minimum and maximum at a given set of conditions. Getting some shoot-up is nice. You can one-ball at lower velocity and get a little more distance when you need more paint. You can also play the rise in the second or third ball when you are trying to thread a ball between trees and/or bunkers. Sometimes the range is just right that three shots will vertically separate by the right amount to cover a slot where your opponent is peeking out of.

1100 shots fired and only 1 barrel break? Carry on, mate. You're doing just fine, especially at the rates of fire you must be shooting. No worries there.

As for your consistency, though, yeah, it could be a little better. Are you matching your paint perfectly to your bore? If so, then stop. Seriously. Paint-matching can actually hurt consistency because you are amplifying the differences in the variation of ball diameter; some balls will be overbored and allow propellant air to blow past it as it travels down the barrel while others will be underbored and get stuck and form an air-tight seal. This will effect efficiency. Don't be afraid to underbore or overbore. Either one will be more consistent than paint-matching.
