MY gun isn't as HEAVY as yours!

[abrewin450]

What is everyone's repulsion to muscle based upon. Are yall trying to say that because someone is strong that they are ugly? Last time I checked muscles were a very fashionable thing to have. But maybe its different here on the forums

Back to the topic:
(which had nothing to do with how fast you can run or how many muscles you have)


Point is, what does it matter if you shave 3 oz of your gun, or buy a new one that is 5 oz lighter, if you turn around and mount a 5 pound bulb on it?

(a full 68cu/4500 psi tank weighs in excess of 5 pounds)

Have you ever heard of being "penny wise, and pound foolish"?

Because they CAN! If you can't afford it, don't do it. We can afford it, so we are doing it. Save a few ounces on the gun by going aluminum, save a few more by running a MacDev Conquest, save a few more by going Macro instead of Braided steel, save a few more by using a Empire reloader with four AA batteries vs. six for a Halo, save a few more with an aluminum barrel, save a few more with a Delrin bolt.... add it all up and we're talking a respectable amount of weight, which if the savings are distributed properly, could make it phenomenally easier to snap shoot, and carry the gun from bunker to bunker. If you can't afford it, don't do it, but in such a case I would suggest finding a better paying job.

Why dont all of you lightweight fellas spending so much money on some ule body rail figure out a way to use a lighter weight tank, like CO2, and i know an RT mag cant run co2, figure out a way or use a different marker since you are so concerned with the weight of your gun use one that can use a lighter tank.

Have you ever used a MacDev Conquest?

No i sure havent, but im sure its more heavy then a co2 tank and hey, every gram counts when making a light marker right! :P

It may be slightly heavier than a full tank of CO2, but since shot to shot consistency is MUCH better with compressed air, as well as not having to worry about temperature differences, it's a worthwhile sacrifice.

Okayyyy but i duno its not as light :P Anyways if you wanna spend 100 dollars on an aluminum body that is easier to manufacture then your high quality stainless steel tube go ahead, i wish they made an all stainless rt valve that would be groovey.

Perfectly said.

Co2 is old technology as far as I'm concerned. The temperature issues are annoying, the fills are more expensive, bah, not worth it to me, but to each his own. I can't get a + or - 2 fps with Co2. I can and do with my MacDev. Sometimes better under the right conditions. Literally, no exaggeration there.

Are you saying that the 48/3k centerflag tank is lighter than a 45/45 carbon fiber tank?

Its possible, the 3000 psi tank doesnt need to be strong enough to hold 1500 more psi and it is smaller too.

i would love to see someone run the 40 in 4.3 seconds with all of their gear on. There are professional atheletes of all sports that struggle to get the 40 in 4.2 with no equipment on what-so-ever. If you can do this you should try out for a nfl team, they would hire you on the spot for kick returns regardless of your size.

My Crossfire 88/45 weighs just under 4 pounds with a full load of air.

Thanks Bulldog. Kinda lost tho. I kno it improves your consistency but how does that make the gun lighter? Isnt that what we are talking about.
