pros and cons of pneumag???

[tweter]

Im thinking about making a pneumag classic RT and I was wanting to know the pros and cons about having a pneumag, no detail is to small guys im a virgin about pneumags thanks Chris

Well if you're willing to shell out money for an intelliframe, the only con could possibly be the work, but they are easier to work on. Other than that i find them to be wonderful, and i have a pneud classic RT. If you want to go into tourneys though pneumags are technically illegal if you can walk over 10 bps.

I love my pneumag setup! These things freakin' rip! As I have posted before, the less tech savy among us (like me ) would do well to have the installation done by cyberave68, pneumagger or someone else who can position the mpa3 (the piston that hits the sear) just right.

The only possible downside is that you will be spending more money on paint.

Will decrease over all effeciancy. Not by much, but a bit.

Oh yeah, haha, my classic RT gets about 5-700 shots off a 48/3000 tank, i think it was closer to 600 or so though, probably less. It does cut down efficiency, but that was the only game i ran out of air. And you will use more paint just cause you can, i know i did, i sort of regret it because the only time i got to use it i used way more paint than i usually do.

I think I calculated it out that my pneumag conversion lost me something like 2 balls a hopper in gas consumption. Not a really big deal. I can still shoot everything I can comfortably carry with a 68/4500.

For sure.

Efficiency is relative to your preferred carrying load. You can probably exceed your full load pneumatic consumption with a few dry fires with a level 10 bolt.

Also, if you have good trigger fingers or an electro-pneu, you waste less of that bit of air since it's not being bled off or used for chuffing. It's noticeable for some of us more than others.

There are many pro's and almost no cons (installation is more of a science than an art!). I'd pay someone to do it unless your a guru at this sort of thing. It's not that hard, but it's not as simple as it looks. Both of my mags are pneu and they simply the best and fastest mech markers you will ever fire!

Yeah, honestly the only reason i had any trouble is cause i have a 3000 psi tank, and even then i had about enough to shoot everything i was carrying.

I have built my own pneu'd classic RT and it rocks. If you want to build your own, then use an Intelliframe and I would say use cyberave68's kit. IF not, then have one of the guys on here build one for you. It is a lot of fun and a good learning experience though.

The only down side I have had with mine is the RT Classic is very heavy compared to my other mags and that a lot of the tourneys or like the SPPL does not allow the pnue set-up to be used in the events w/o restricting you to the electro rules.

WOW thanks guys for all the input this answered alot of my questions and concerns thats why i like the AO family

you could end up with a ball on ball collision outside the barrel

this is one of cyberaves setups "t0nnn" is shooting





They are sooo much fun to shoot!
pay attention to all the "pings" from the pole......talk about accurate

...accuracy doesn't come from a different gripframe, it comes from the barrel and consistency

But yeah, i've never had the ball hitting ball problem.

[sffudapparel]

ball hitting ball would indicate bad consistancy would it not?


for example that the first shot was fired (say 240 or so) and the second shot was fired hot (say 300)

[Spider-TW]

It's like really fast chuffing. Your finger doesn't come off the trigger long enough (about 50 ms +/-) to let the valve recharge and you get a droopy shot, followed immediately by a properly charged shot that catches up to the earlier one and blows it up. Some are really good explosions.

I'm terrible about them. Other people could use my pneu with very few collisions. I finally added the "electro" to mine when I became the only one trying to use it, which just about guarantees my recharge time.

*edit*

Technically, the collisions that occur closest to the breech would have the highest difference in ball velocity and your explosion cloud gets smaller as it gets further away from the barrel until the balls don't even hit anymore because the slower ones drop down. You can see that in t0nnn's string with the first one being very close and an excellent cloud.
