ULE RTP "Airhog" is an understatement...or does it need more tuning?

[Jerhew]

yeah use the smallest spring...it should let you go a little deeper into the tank...
if you get some really brittle paint, you might decide to switch back to the medium spring....but other than that you can usually use the smallest spring without worrying about breaks and you probably get an extra 100psi or so

getting a 4500psi tank was the best thing i ever did.

pony tanks are your friend. i just picked up mine for 180. 10 bucks to get filled and im set. which is kinda ironic being that all day air at the field is 10 bucks as well. o well it works when i go to the mountains for some good woodsball

[shivors]

WOW....I had no idea mags where so bad on air. I figured they didnt win any efficiency awards but I expected them to do better than my Spyder.

Learn something new everyday.

Thats why I got a different gun. I had to fill every 500 shots, with my ir3 its more like every 950 or on a 68 3000.

[TheTramp]

My E-Mag gets around 800 shots out of a 68/3000. Unless you play back that should be plenty I would think.

I switch over to a 88/4500 stub for rec so I didn't have to re-fill and I can shoot around 1500 with that.

It's not the best efficeny but that's why they've got all day air.

My E-Mag gets around 800 shots out of a 68/3000.

I get AT LEAST 800 shots out of my 68/3000.

Mine will shoot down to about 400 psi (level 10). If it sputters at 900 I'd say it's not tuned correctly. Use the short spring and try going to a larger carrier.

[frischtr]

We'll see what my mag gets when it decides to show up... I know it's going to be a rude awakening, as I'm used to getting about 1500-1600 shots from a 68/45 with my GX-4 (Eclipse supercharger valve and rex dialer kit)...

[Jerhew]

out of a 68/4500 you'll still get 900-1100
that's plenty as far as im concerned....

as i've said before, as long as you can shoot as much paint as you can carry without having to get air...wheres the problem?

a 68/45 is perfect.

and if you're playing front in a tourney...a 45/45 will be plenty as well...
if you run out of air, you're not playing right.

and you guys with 3k tanks... dude, get with the times

[athomas]

I have a PE 88-3000psi tank and get over 1100 shots before I have to refill. I use a 12" MS Equation barrel system. I also use the middle bolt spring and shoot at 285 fps.

[TraXeR]

I haven't gotten my tank on my mag yet, but I assume i get about 600 shots to it. I use a 68 3k cause theres no place around withen liek 2-3 hours drive that fills 4.5k. And my field can only fill to 3,000.

[hitech]

and you guys with 3k tanks... dude, get with the times

I just got my scuba tank last year. I'm not forking up for a 4.5k scuba tank! besides, the tank can shoot everything I carry.

Using the Evil Pipe Kit

I am heading out to play this afternoon - I expect to shoot around 2000 rounds so I will let you know how it goes...for those interested.

I am running the mid size spring, PE 88ci 3000psi (wishing i would have forked over the $$$ for the 4500psi) and my barrell is the evil pipe.

[hitech]

Since you have an "adjustable" bore barrel, if the efficiency seems low try the next SMALLER size insert. That should increase your efficiency (Make sure to chrono after changing. You should need to reduce the velocity).
