    Interesting...Is this true?

    All pressure regulators, by the nature of their design, cannot fill a chamber instantly. Regulators must fill most of the chamber quickly then taper off to reach the desired pressure. Chamber Fill on the 68AUTOMAG takes roughly 1/3 of a second. Because of the Regulator tapering off, when firing the paintball gun faster than three shots per second, the Air Chamber will not fill fully and the average velocity will drop by 10 to 20 fps.
    I got that from warpig.

    ive shot 7-8 bps over a crono on my old classic- no inline reg- just the gun reg and the tank reg- and i shot something like

    295
    292
    295
    296
    297
    294

    it just kept randomly jumping around between 292 and 297
    Yummy yummy yummy, I've got fun in my tummy.

      I, too have a classic. I have never noticed any shootdown. I have light chrono so I have never really tested.

        According to



        the RT valve recharges at a rate of 9 bps.

          ...@ 600psi

          Its been recommended that you run at least 800 psi into your valve (whether classic or Retro/X) to take full advandtage of it. The higher the input pressure, the faster the air chamber is refilled.
