Low pressure = Straighter shots?? hype..?

[tobz]

I'm pretty sure it's just some marketing hype/BS, but on akalmp website they claim lower pressure has flatter shots.

On a angel speed video, they also claim their new lower pressure to deliver flatter shots.

300fps is 300fps right? I hate hype, so I just wanted to make sure this is BS, just like I think it is.

Bah, low pressure, screw that

Lower pressure may lead to higher consistancy, which will lead to flatter shots, but that isnt always true. Mags have great consistancy. It depends on the regulator mostly, I think.

Not necessarily; matrix.. shocker... very low pressure but the worst efficiency ever.

Controlled, Regulated, and Consistant low pressure = no fps fluctuation which means not as hard on the paintballs (because less pressure to cock the bolt) as well as consistant streams on top of each other.

Thanks, 'nuff said

FYI I said absolutely nothing about efficiency in my post
I said basically what you said, in a wrap.

My Angel Speed always had an arc in it's shot, like my E-Mag, after reading around I heard you can make your Speed shoot like a Matrix. I convinced a buddy to try it first, we set his LPR from 75psi to 55psi, put on a big volumizer and set the dwell from 11ms to 16ms. Indeed it has a flatter shot... the ball goes straight out and then drops at the end. it doesn't shoot farther, just flatter.

As far as accuracy... the gun now has no kick, so I'm sure thats how you can say it's more accurate.

hype.

But Matrix DO have good effieciency now. With the Evolve bolt kit you can get 1800-2000 off a 68/4500. Two of my friends run this bolt and they get those numbers.

You shouldnt ask a question like this on an automags forum, whether its hype or not... Even if the person has no clue, they will say that its hype just because mags arent low pressure...and you all know it.

Thats BS. Not one person has said anything like that. Get your head out of your taco().
I think I misconcieved the first post. I guess flat shots and more consistant velocitys are two different things. I for one, have never noticed my gun shooting balls in an arc, or any other one for that matter. I'm pretty sure my gun shoots strait (given a good paint-barrel match)
I dont know, I dont really stare at the way paintballs fly, all I care is that they hit my target

Squid, I'm assuming that post was aimed twords me, which is a stupid thing to post, because I only compared something with an automag.

I would say this is more of hype. I dont really understand how anything but efficiancy can benefit from a LP setup, or if its insanely low, less chopped balls, but then you start to loose ROF. I dunno.

I didnt even read what you said man.

[personman]

Heh.
I just wasted a post

You should read threads before posting

I can't think of any way that lower pressure would have any noticable impact on how well your gun shoots, It's possible that it does but it's probably hype.

He said consitency, not efficiency. Two very different things.

Consistent=same, over and over. So a gun can have great consistency and crap efficiency. Don't think it can work the other way around though.

You'd be surprised to find out that the Mag's on ball pressure is 65psi. If that doesn't qualify as low pressure, I dunno what does. (Yes, it requires a 600psi input, still...)
