P/F, does it really help

[MagNumPI]

Blow back was a problem I had when I had a cocker, since the cocker didn't have a hole to let the air escape it caused balls to shoot up in the feed tube. Powerfeed makes blowback very un noticable cause there i a big hole to let the air out. PF is also good at centering the barrel , with the classic you had the hopper way out ot the left or right.

Power feed is good.

just another question, why is p/f at an angle? they could put it on the side of the gun and have a verical p/f. and therefore elimiating the use of an elbow lowering the height of the hopper. it would also solve the problem of people complaining that the p/f gets in the way of sighting down the barrel. just an interesting thought i had.

As somebody said before it's so the blowback gases can escape easier.

In related to what was said above:
Sometimes the people with the most posts know the least...But not necessarily either.

a power feed when using a standard loader creates less blowback therefor allowing your gun to cycle quicker without choping paint.

but say if you used a warp feed you could just cut down your standard feed and it would all work the same and there would be no blowback due to the paintballs be literally shoved into the gun.

a long nose bolt also prevents blow back to a certain extent so if you want your gun to cycle quicker that is a good bet

p.s. sorry for gettin off subject

Yes P/F help when...

You hammer on thet trigger i had s/f but upgraded to a 2x trigger and trigger job and this is what happened during bursts of fire with s/f boom chop chop chop chop boom chop chop chop and i got tired and bought a p/f body now i haven't chopped one

I was just looking at a post that had a new idea for a barrel. This brought me to thinking... No gun can fire fast enough to have 2 balls in the barrel at the same time. If the air pressure can equalize quick enough (don't know if diffusion is fast enough) and If you could time the bolt correctly, when it returns back it would cause a slight suction, pulling a bit of air in thru the barrel and thru the feed. This would eliminate gas blowing up into the feed, and actually assist loading.

how about contemplating how to make the balls feed fast enough with the blow back issue, how about air gun designs eleminates blowback with some crazazy new invention. THAT woudl show ingenuity. Cus then the whiney tournament playing kids who only want vert feeed can do that 18 bps fwith vert that u see in those halo videos.
