When will I out shoot my Hopper?

[AMGuy]

I have a 12 volt Revy that is BE which means it has that slight pause. What is the Maximum ROF that this Revy can keep up with?

What about the New X-Board Revy?

[AMGuy]

surprised no one has responded yet

[Slapp]

I think the 12 volt revvy's can run up to about 11 balls per second on a full hopper and less as it gets down to just a few balls left that bobble around before loading. You could improve the feed a bit by hooking up an intellifeed. I don't know anything about the X-fire boards.

[AMGuy]

thx, now you took into account the slight pause right?

anyone else?

[PyRo]

X boards are probably just the original boards that didn't have the delay.

[Dude]

The x-boards do help a little, I've got one and it eliminates the pause and the treat of sun making the loader stir up the paintballs if your hopper is clear. The revolution can spit 'balls out of the gun at about twelve balls per second, but this only really happens in bursts. This means that you can only shoot a substained about nine or ten balls per every second.

[PyRo]

They claim 13/sec, its usually 11-12 though with the old style boards.

[AMGuy]

thx guys

pyro, what would say the x-boards would feed at?

[Cha0tic]

check out the hopper reviews at warpig.com they didn't find anything special about the x-board.

[PyRo]

Never used one. Warpig tested them, i don't know if they have feed rates posted or not, check it out. They will probably feed the same as the old style.

I've got a first gen(Non-BE) 12V, it'll do 11-12, the second gen's(Gem Board) will do 9-11 due to the delay, some are even slower. The 3rd gen's (X-Board + New paddles) will do at least 13, I've seen one feed a Matrix set at 16, going all out, in small bursts, no more than 5-6 balls at a time.

The X-Board isn't a first gen board, it spins faster, and doesn't have the sensor/sunlight issue in gem hoppers that the first-gen board did. The new paddles are basicly the Egg paddle mod a bunch of people where doing. One of those paddles is definitely in my future.

i have a 12v, x-board, and intellifeed and i havent outshot my hopper yet. i probably shoot bursts of 7-8 bps. what gun are you planning on shooting a consistent 13bps with AMguy? i think tom said even he has never shot faster than 12.5 and that was a burst.

[AMGuy]

well right now I have a 68 mag powerfeed with the dealyed boards, so for now I dont think it will be a problem.

but eventually I will probably upgrade to retro and later intelliframe with intellifeed

i heard that if you intelli feed a delayed hopper, the delay doesnt exist, when you pull the trigger, it spins immidiatly just like the pre brass eagle revies would. I guess this would make sense since it is totally bipassing the infared. Can anyone back this up?

And have any tests been done to test the feed speed of an intelli revy?

Oh yeah and one more question, what do you think my max ROF will be with a retro + intelli frame and feed?

thx guys :)

[PyRo]

New ones CANNOT feed faster than the old ones. The only differance is the board, and the only way the board can effect the feed rate, is how fast the impeller (that what its called?) spins, and any delay. Neither the old nor the new have any delay or effect the rate at which they spin. The only differance between the original, and the x boards might be the sensitivity to the sun.

[AMGuy]

I believe that isnt right
these are the 12v rev's that exist:

Pre-brass eagle
Had no delay, but clear hoppers had a glitch where they would agitate when hit by sun light

Brass eagle Revy (the one I own)
Fixed sunlight glitch but had delay

X-board Revy
Fixed delay and no sunlight glitch

so yeah I do think the pause would do something

anyone have an answer for my above post?
