I don't understand mags

adjustable HPA tanks lead to 1200psi inputs which can let you RT alot easier. IT is not required.

To adust your velocity, goto a chrono, pull the trigger but do not release, adjust accordingly, the back part of the valve screw it in to increase out to decrease. Quickly pull and hold again. repeat

You have to hold the trigger in to adjust velocity? I never did that...

It's just on the RT-type valves so that you can check the velocity that you get at rapid fire. The RT effect dissipates quickly, so if you release the trigger and pull quickly it simulates the quick valve recharge and discharge, including the RT effect. It can be faster or slower depending on input pressure. It's on the AGD website under tech / RT chronograph procedure.

so how does this reg work?


I think thoes regs don't go up that high..

That front reg acts as a lpr, the air is routed so it is untouched by the regulator for the valve to breath, va is tapped to run a hidden lpr line to the frame

Thats a good looking sleeper.

QFT. B-E-A-utifully done

That's mine. Thanks for the compliments.

I can make you one if you want. I've been wanting another project for the spring. Or I can let you know how to build one yourself.

I really like the look of it, and does the reg actually do anything?

Also what does sleeper mean?

[micromag-man]

Maybe sleeper is a marker that does not look too mean, but will surprise you out on the field?

[cyberave68]

Rawbutter's mag is a Pneumag. It has a few added parts to make the trigger pull super soft and able to be walked. Most people would think its mechy just by looking at it. (no batteries at all) But when you get it on the field he can rip as fast as any electro out there. The reg on the VA is what supplie's the air to the pneumatic trigg assembly that was added. Hence "pneumag"

As for "Sleeper" that means it looks normal but in actuality it has HIGH PERFORMANCE under the hood...

[Spider-TW]

That is a pneumag. Pneu's tend to shoot faster than a ULT equipped mag, especially when you look at a pneu'd classic. Part of the entertainment with pneumags is when people see the mag valve and figure you're good for about 10 bps, but actually it runs 16+ bps. Search the tech forum for 'pneumag' or just 'pneu'.

After that, they learn to spot the (sometimes ugly) LPR sticking out of a mag [!]. So, with a fair amount of additional work, you can hide the LPR in the foregrip or in the frame for a smoother look and there will be very little clue as to how much paint that mag can actually throw.

The term 'sleeper' also refers to cars that look junky or plain, but are actually hiding some serious horsepower.

never heard that term used in paintball other than this forum..

Anyways I like it, so basicly the inline reg just, supplies air to the pneu part of the mag?


One more question, short stroking a cocker makes sense to me, but how do you short stroke a mag? And what exactly happens when you do this?

Yes.

Mechanically, right after the sear catches the bolt upon return, the on/off clears the top oring and the valve starts recharging. On a classic valve, if you pull the trigger too quickly (because you never really let go of it) or keep too much tension on the trigger, the valve hasn't recharged before the sear lets the bolt free again. And you get a 'chuff' and much sadness, because you really wanted that ball fast.

The RT helps this a lot by kicking your finger back and giving itself enough time to recharge.

haha, great thread...

went from "i dont understand mags" to buying a mag within a few days...

i'm sure you'll love it. a mag is the only marker you'll ever need. i enjoy phantoms and cockers myself too though.

great people here too, right? so helpful and knowledgeable.

welcome to the mag family sir

Ya welcome to the World of Mags. I said this Thread was EPIC in post seventeen.
