        I think i saw somewhere that someone did a valve mod ??? that increased the usable shots ?

        Ball bearings for some reason comes to mind.

        ANYBODY know about a Valve mod ?

            I pretty sure RRfireblade is doing a conversion, but I may be completely wrong.

              I ask because I'm getting about 10 shots from mine with no chuffing and I thought that was pretty low. The valves been rebuilt and I cannot hear any leaks...

                you could turn down the velocity and get a few more shots that way.

                    I think I got 28 once, but it's hard to count on the field. I normally best out at 25.

                      From a hose that is between the 12g charger and the valve.
                      Test firing, nothing fast.

                        are you dry firing?

                          On a stock normal Classic valve 12-15 good shots is the average max , less with L10.

                          Somewhere around 20-22 max in a Sydarm which uses a more efficient valve/setup.

                            I do it but it but I'm finding it varies quite alot from valve to valve.

                            I have gotten up in the upper mid 30's on certain XValves (L7) but that has been a best case so far.

                            Reliably , an additional 5-8 shots seems to be achievalbe in most cases.
