I herd this from someone...

After you turn the velocity up to about 250fps I herd the valve leaks on mags... this true?

[CaptaiN_JacK]

thats just a myth, it doesnt leak. what really happens is it blows up and sends steel shrapnel up to 50 feet away.

[DaosBeoulve]

Mags have no problems with velocities up to 300 fps, if they have a good reg seat, and are properly maintenanced.

[HoppysMag]

ya its a 1% survival rate... poor bastards. when will they learn.


thats sarcasm the valve doesnt leak unless ur marker has problems, and most mags dont have problems unless your a moron and tried to tinker.

[Banshee23]

Ummm, I think you need to stop listening to whomever feeds you info They work fine at 250, 285, 300, etc...

Uhh okay, and you need to stop biteing your finger nails

other day i had a problem actually
my mag wouldnt shoot below 350 fps also hitting the low 400 fps. didnt chop either thick shells!
i had to use my tippmann that day!
p.s.
i would post this in tech but my X valve comes this week

That comment is saying like all cockers are accurate, and angels are the fastest guns ever, and world peace is possible(stole from simpsons). Some older mags have older reg pistons which can't handle the pressures and start to vent air so you dont blow out your reg and seals. My old rt did this when I installed lvl 10, got a new one and it worked fine.

My mag was up to 425, didn't chrono that day and was playing renegade at a friends house, *whistles innocently* my friend now has a scar on his spine from where i bunkered him, Now i chrono every time i change the velocity

well...this happend to me and it only sent sharpnel about 20 feet. and the spring flew into my eye...

but this was because i tried to take the valve out when there was still gas in it (i couldn't get the gas out)

[1ofkind]

Thats sad man....

[MrWallen]

Don't they self-regulate tho, if you set the velocity too high they start leaking out of the back, it's part of the design.

[sneakyhacker420]

the older reg pistons in some of the valves vent before the pressure that LX needs to cycle, thus causing them to leak out the back

other than that, its just another stupid mag myth

[jtoothman25]

I've shot mine at 350 without leaking. Didnt break a ball either.
