2,500 Shots off a Mag; efficiency upgrades?

[speedyejl]

Fair enough. My Impulse can get about 1500shots off my 45/45. Which translates into 2000 from a 68/45. I am shooting at 250fps (indoor fields) so that makes a difference but I figure only around 200shots tops.

Eff really is the only thing which holds mags back from being perfect. It would be tottally awsome for something like that.

Man this is the first time ive really felt bad about my mag :)

Yeah, maybe with the bolt in upside down and not shooting paint. Honestly, I had a Viking and it did not get 2000+ off a case of paint - although it still did have the best gas milage of any marker I've owned.

was it broken in? i've seen plenty vikings get 1800 and more

most pods i have are 140, and they don't even hold that many

[speedyejl]

Yea to get 140rnds in a pod you have to use some force.

[AlabamaMan]

i can get 160 rounds into my redz pods. It's a little trippy when you fill 3 pods off a 500 round bag and only have twenty left over.

[PsychoBaller]

Using larger pods ?

Allen Paintball Products - 157 Magnum Pods - hold roughly 160-170ish, and these are tough mofo's for pods... thick black shells.

Anyways.... I wish my SFL with LX got more than 1000 off a 68/4500..... sigh....

as I've said many times before.

RT/Emag with LX off a 68/4500 should be getting around 1,200 shots.

[speedyejl]

1,200 is pushing it... 900-1000 is much more reasonable.

honestly this doesnt sound too far off

Vikings and ex's have the best efficency of anymarker i have yet to see stock off of a 68/45 they should get around 1700 off of a 68/45 and thats running stock brand new at 180 psi but once broken in and brought down to around teh 110 psi range they should get around 2700 off of the 68/45 and if the reg gets really broken in and gun can get down to 90 psi operating which is possible it can get up to 3400 shots off of a 68/45 in theory so to me with Tom Kaye doing work this mag efficency doesnt sound to far fetched im sure in some way he will make it work.

"What you've just said is one of the most insainely idiotic things I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling incohearent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul."

Sandler!

I love that movie and that scene! Bravo!

[paintster14]

really?

call aka and ask them about the gun efficiency im telling you what i was told directly from the company and on top of that do the math for it and youll see its not too far off.

[speedyejl]

AKALMP also says that their Javalin barrel will shoot further than other barrels.

[paintster14]

your point?

people also say closed bolt shoots farther the open?do the math on it seriously im saying the gun operating psi at 180,110,and 90 not the LPR the whole marker.In a 68/45 tank you have 4500 psi per cubic inch,you have 68cu inches therefor its 68x4500=306000 which divided by 180(operating psi) gives you 1700 shots now like i said this is in theory with perfect paint match etc, do the same 68x4500 and divide by the operating psi and it will give you an estimate +/- some on how many shots you should get and by doing this it gave me almost the exact same numbers that AKA did at the AKA Booth at the 01 and 02 World Cup.

I'm not guessing I'm telling you. That's with a reasonable input(850). chrono'd @ 295. a good paint/barrel match. measure shooting paint, more air is used when your dry firing.
