    low velocity and the LX

    Hey guys,

    I was thinking about getting the lx. my question is can it run properly at low field speeds? i play indoor and our field is capped at 230fps.

    what are ways to bring it down to lower speeds? all i know of is shorter spring (aside from turning down the velocity nut).

    thanks.

    Actually, to run at a lower velocity, running a longer spring will do it. The spring is counteracting the force of the pressure behind the bolt. The longer the spring, the more force.

    Edit- 230? You'd be better off throwing it at each other.

      ?



      When you turn the pressure up so the gun will shoot, it will shoot at a higher velocity. Use a shorter spring and turn the pressure down and you can shoot at a lower velocity. If you can't get to the lower velocity without the gun stopping from shooting due too low a pressure on the LX, you can cut back the shorter spring and lower it even further.

      The end result is that you can run the LX at a low velocity. You should be using quality paint though, because it won't break as easy at that speed.
      Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
