How fast can you get your e-mag?

I agree with cockerpunk, reballs don't feed well. I think a prophecy is still going to be a bottle neck with dirty reballs, they just like to jam in whatever loader you're using. I haven't played with reballs in a long time, but my Halos never did like them, I'd always end up using a revy. Although the place I went to never cleaned them either.

...on the Revy. Once you get the bag or what ever they give you as a container for the balls. Bring some paint with you and bust 2 or 3 balls in the container and mix it. Coating the balls will lube and keep them from sticking on the inside your prophecy and should help with jams. If all else fails get old school on their A double S's with a Revy.

My pinokio will feed reballs consistently at 25bps, but it has the P-board upgrade on it also.
This was tested at the local indoor reball facility by a buddy of mine running his 07 EGO, I wasn't present though I just let him borrow it to try it out.

Sorry I know its a bit off topic, I just figured it might help out some with using reballs !

Whatever happened to that video that Z-Man made about 6-8 years ago. He hooked his rt pro directly to a scuba tank puting out around 3000psi. It was around when I stoped playing paintball so I never got to hear the final BPS count. Rumor was that it was around 50 bps, but the audio clip was fuzzy or something and couldn't be properly analyzed.

Always clean your balls...

You mean 34.5 bps?

Good Find. I saw that page when I was looking for it, but didn't notice that it was actually on there. I'm glad that they actually were able to get a good audio analysis on it.

Really? With paint?

Cleaning out the prophesy afterward will sure be fun. I've never broken a ball in the prophesy before but I have taken it apart... and man does it suck to put back together. You have to get the shells aligned JUST right...

I have some crappy reballs at my house right now, rufus dog brand, and they really suck. I just use them for testing usually. They seem quite small compared to normal paint (they are about .670 generally) and they do jam quite often in the prophesy. I clean them but have never lubed them- so is that the reason they keep jamming? I am still hoping that whatever brand of re-balls they use at that field will be larger than my tac-balls.

It's rather important to find out what kind of reballs your field is using. Real reballs you're usually going to be ok, I would reccomend slipping some sleek into your feedneck and hopper tray to speed the balls along, breaking a paintball or two in there sounds sketchy. Real reballs work on most hoppers pretty well, I'd keep away from the rotor however. If you're using mighty balls you're going to experience more issues as they're softer and squish up. The best hopper for mighty balls is an eggy, you can do the same sleek lube trick if you want.

Most reball fields are 220, so you're going to want that lighter spring. And if you're emag is not center feed you might want to consider leaving it at home, those powerfeeds don't like reballs or mightyballs.

Nope it's a center feed body. I will call later today to find out what sort of reballs they are, but what else would you guys suggest to lube the balls instead of sleek, because I don't have any? I have lots of gold cup, and the only other rubber-safe lube I have is some water proof silicon grease I use for my air-cannon

I DO THIS ALL THE TIME....there's nothing "sketchy" about it

All your doing is lubing them so they glide off the walls of your feedneck and hopper internals. Reason you get jams is the balls stick to everything, including themselves. You can use your expensive oil if you like but it's going to be the same same.

As a mater of fact most of the manufactures tell you to lube them before using.

The balls will only have a lite film. They're not going to be all gooey and dripping with paint. If they are, put them in a towel and lightly roll them but you want a nice shine. Try it out on those reballs you have at your house, you said they jam all the time right? Bust a ball in the mix and try it again. Only thing I've seen this not work on are Q-Pod's (reballs don't work with them at all). Everything else I've tried besides a rotor has worked like a champ and there's no mess to clean. You'll have a film in the hopper but it's nothing you need to worry about. You can go right ahead and toss "real balls" in with no ill effects.

EDIT: PB Nation is good for something.

alright I'll try using paint later tonight when I take a break from homework! It just seems a bit odd honestly, but it's probably cheaper than the other options so why not :)

So with the dwell at 18 and the fix at 5, I could get the gun to cycle effortlessly at 25 cps, plenty fast for me. When I put paint through it though, it chopped 2x on about 50 balls. I think I need to re-tune the lvl 10 for this ROF

then I tried my ruballs after I cleaned and lubed a pod of them with some paint, and at 25 bps it would shoot for about 1 second before it would jam, but I could tell the lvl 10 was tripping up alot. If I just stopped shooting for a moment, it would shoot at 25 bps for another half second before it would jam up again. I'll bet at a slower rof it wouldn't jam... but I want to be able to shoot reballs really fast!!

We used to lube them as the manufacturer states at our field. What ended up happening is the little bit of lube would be injected into the ball by the force of the air being used to propel it. We swelled a stack of balls up to about .80+ before we figured out what was going on, they were so tight that they would not shoot down alot of barrels. We've found swelling the track and not the balls is a better alternative.

Drop the dwell to 15.
