AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
Actually, I was browsing the AGD site and was reading through the AGD Virtual Museum (needs some updating though ) and was amazed at some of the stuff in there. I've been a big fan of AGD for many years, but had no idea how cutting edge AGD really is.
If you know anything about how these gasses work using CO2 the way we were was just stupid. To consume gas fast you have to use one that is compressible.

Tom I agree 100% with you.
However, Palmerites, lead by their Task Master Glenn Palmer, like to disagree...
For some reason, they believe shooting FAST and CO2 are perfectly fine if you use an anti-syphon and one or two of their stabilizers.

That, simply, is not true. CO2 will often show better consistency with bad paint because the higher density of CO2 gas is more forgiving of size and shape variations in the ball...
...When handled properly, CO2 will do a good job for anyone and on just about any gun.
About the only time that using CO2 is generally a limitation, is in sub-freezing temperatures and even that can be overcome with the proper hardware and gun setup...
...My setup is 12 oz anti-siphon, on-gun (bottom line)through 2-stage regulation and I'll at least match consistency readings with any thing. About 400 psi input to the gun...
...CO2 gas is simply a better propellant for a paintball than compressed air is.
The higher density of the gas imparts its energy to the ball more efficiently.
A switch from co2 to compressed air will usually require either higher pressures or a longer valve dwell to make up for the difference.
Paintball Talk is the main forum for Automags.org. Here is where we talk about the sport of paintball in general and make announcements relating to the forum and website.
I think I trust our Tom more then Glen. Ok, I am not sure, but when I made the switch from Co2 to HPA, It seemed to increase my accuracy, Is it true, or was the wind guiding my balls to there target?
there are so many factors that affect the "accuracy" of paintball...
Even if you had ideal control test conditions, isolating what the differences between CO2 and HPA have on the flight of the ball would be very difficult. So many other things could have caused difference or variances in your shot to shot "accuracy".
Kinda like that old saying, "Penny wise, Dollar foolish"... where you focus on one little thing, but miss the bigger picture of what is happening.
We not only filter them but we consider the fact that you triggered the filter a violation and we punish for it. We are a tough place to curse and we like it that way.
Consider your mouth washed with Cyber Soap and formaly informed and now warned.
AGD, where we are so good we can do it with only ONE tube!
i love the way they seem to be woth more now then when they were first sold you can see them going for like 100+ now, a new y won't run you too much more.
Oh and CO2 is a great gas ... when used carefully wht an on/off it makes a killer fan.... but i use hpa to get the ballsdown field.
PS: how do you keep a cocker busy for hours....... telll him his timings off
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
I for one would love to have a zgrip on my setup i only have the Y but it seems like the z grip would have been two far forward to help you any but who knows, to me cockers suck they take way to much mantinace(sp) and they are never reliable at all I would take a mag any day there a lot lighter more accurate with out any batteries like the eblade has on it so muhahahahhaha
why cuss when there are so many other words to chose from man. it makes no sence dude. i used to cuss all the time but people started to look down on me so i dont any more man.

sorry, but i just had to point this out... you are talking about how many other great words to chose from, and therefore you should not use expletives, but then you yourself seem to overuse the words "man" and "dude". you aparently use them as filler words to extend the length of your sentence. if you are going to tell others to vary their repertoire of words, then do so yourself.
although i do agree that some people overuse expletives occasionally (myself included) and that an internet forum is not the place for them.
