Low pressure = Straighter shots?? hype..?

[Chojin Man]

Dayspring do you know the on ball pressure of other "LP" markers? Is it usually about the same?

Here you can find the pressures for some markers

You should read threads before posting

No I shouldnt... I read the question, and automatically knew everybody would just say hype, whether they had a clue or not.

There's no such thing as a "Flat Tragectory" with out purposely spinning a paintball.Come on guys,you all should know that.

The only thing air pressure on a ball has to do with consistancy is whether or not it's exactly the same evey time,regardless of what ever pressure it happens to be.

Actually, yes you should. You should look at other peoples views before you judge them. Not everyone said hype. You diddnt know everyone would just say hype, you made an assumption.

I apologize for starting a thread that spawned an argument. I will delete this, as the trajectory of the ball should not be influenced by what pressure the air is at that propells it. 300fps is 300fps, and no matter what combination of air pressure/volume is used, the trajectory of two of the same projectiles traveling the same speed will be the same.

No problem, I won't :)

Once again, someone who knows nothing is posting myth and hype that keeps this crap going on and on. Tom has posted MORE THEN ONCE that regardless of the pressure going into a marker, virtually all markers put about the same pressure behind the ball during firing. It is about 75psi if I remember.

Yeah, I didn't even mean to bring it up, I just saw some well known companies advertising it, and I would assume that could be some sort of false claims. But I really don't know enough about marketing laws to make a qualified statement. It just struck me as odd, even though I've seen many companies say incorrect things about their products, who actually enforces the rules to protect the public? Shouldn't that be removed? Also, if anyone needs links to what I am referring to, just let me know.

All companies make "Hyped" claims,it's how you sell product.Are you going to buy from anyone selling a product advertised as "About the same as everyone elses".

The only way to stop it is to call them on it with legal action.With paintball being prodomitly aimed at teenagers and younger,who of them would or could bring such a claim.Most adults aren't going to put up thier own cash for such a thing either,so your pretty much stuck until some major player decides there's enough to gain to do something about it.Right now,there isn't.

I don't like it either but what are you going to do but try and combate it with sense and logic,which doesn't always appeal to younger kids.

Oh well.....

Unless your LP marker can change the acceleration rate of gravity's pull, it is not possible to have a different trajectory at the same velocity and angle of attack.

LP and HP are what the marker mechanically operates at to turn the cranks. The psi behind the ball... is about about 45-100psi regardless of your marker. The mag happens to be on the low end of this spectrum.

Well... not unless you have something that puts a spin on the ball... like a flatline barrel, z-body for mag, etc.

That'll make a decent difference.

He already beat you to it :) I don't need any more answers, I'm content.
