good old smart parts.

there marketing can clearly break the laws of physics.

I was going to post in there and then i saw doc did, i haven't read it yet, but i found the fist post entertaining. And then i read the second post as saw that someone hasn't heard about pressure equalizing behind the ball no matter what your bolt looks like and i laughed harder (people claim a larger bore will give you the flatline effect with this type of bolt, but seeing as the flatline uses an abrasive surface i'm calling shens on that). Ah, to see that this is still alive and well even today gives me a little laugh, as well as sadness.

Here are a few gems from the SP rep...

Over 30. But seriously... a higher ROF does not mean a better gun. If you increase the cycling speed of the gun, you increase the force applied to the paintball. Hence, you break more paint. I think I will trade ROF in for breaking less paint any day.

I stole one from Darryl on Thursday and got to play with it. I shot 7 pods and 1 hopper and still had about 1500 in the tank. I cannot believe how quiet it is. I found out that if you use a tight fit on the insert, it makes it quieter. I was watching Dynasty practice today here as well. I saw a couple on the field being beat up.

It is more accurate than my other guns, and had better range.

(emphasis mine)

It is not a perception. I guess you are one of those people that think that the exit veolcity of a paintball gun will give you the same range no matter what type of gun it is?

Well, if there is no backspin on the shocker, I explained it in the conservation of energy to Tom Kaye at he super show in Atlanta years ago, which was about 5 months after I saw Graham shoot the Shocker at the IAO. He said that is was completely plausable.

Potential Energy = Kenetic Energy.

If a Paintball travels further from a shocker at the same speed, then a Spyder. Then, something must be happening to the ball to transfer the potential energy to kenetic faster. Which means something must be happening to the ball itself. If a shocker had backspin, you could see the lift. But I remember being shot by shockers many times and telling those people to chrono, and they were under the field speed. Which led me to belive that the ball was travelling faster at 30 ft then any other gun I had seen at the time. So, I personally think that is has something to do with the ball deformity, or ocsilation of some sort. The ball osciallting would make sense to be based on real world playing. But like I said, I got the ok here to set up the test shoot and video tape it all. Maybe I will set up a chrono as well at 30 ft away as well.

This is the one that got me going. Can't wait till Tom sees that thread.

Yeah and the guy claimed he told Tom years ago....

Thanks for the link. I only go to PBN when threads like this go up on AO. I love that thread. Also, it is high time I say thanks to cockerpunk for always giving the back hand slap to smart parts. I love reading your comments. BTW is it just me or does that Sean guy from Smart Parts just scream 'jag'

Yeah man, that's what i love about cockerpunk, he's one of the few people on that site that talks any sense, and those that get in arguments with him end up screwed in the end. Along with the automag forum, he's one of the other reasons that site is still bearable.

yawn

Cockers shoot further...blah, blah, etc, etc, to infinity and beyond.

Even if someone actually does (more) tests then others will cry skewed results, improper testing, whatever.

[Automagsam]

Don't you guys know along with all of their patents, Physics is one of the things that smart parts patented.

Plus SP has tiny smurfs in their guns that make everything possible, its new technology that all the other guns don't have duh...

[Toll]

Some completely unbiased mythbusting thirdperson source could do the test and people would still cry skewed results. I would love to get a whole bunch of high speed cameras and vice in a 98c, a spyder and a 4x4 shocker and see what happened.

Never mind when people who have degrees in physics, engineering and fluid dynamics all happen to come into a thread and say "lolwut?" towards the arguement being placed...Because they don't know what they're talking about.


The real big question I have right now is that if the 4x4 could infact shoot farther than any other gun, why the hell didn't THAT GET TRANSFERED? Why doesn't the NXT have this quality?

[thahouse]

i think gene simmons owns Smarts parts...since gene simmons patented the acronym "OJ" and gets like 4 cents every time someone uses that phrase in an advertisement

Obviously, kenetic energy is not kinetic energy. Also, ocsilation is some sort of silicone deposit.

Here's a another demand for a head-shake smiley.

Only my expression was more shaking my head and rolling my eyes while laughing, but it still works.
