matrix cycling speed

Some things to keep in mind....

The hopper tests on WARPIG were testing for maximum rate of fire, sustained over 10 shots. That's not the same as the max reachable, with one or two shots out of a string, which can be higher.

Also, I have yet to compare any display equipped 'gun that accurately reported the ROF it was shooting.

yes, but he was claiming a SUSTAINED 35 bps.

You can SEE drop-off?



What a joke.

And the video was shot at how many frames per second?

And how exactly would you be able to see drop off?

You'd need a chrono or need to chart the path of all the paintballs....

Thats an awfully hostile tone isn't it?

Yes, you can see drop off. What I mean by "drop off" is when the balls are leaving at progressively lower and lower velocities because the airflow can't keep up with the cycling. So, as the gun is firing, you will see the impact point of the balls steadily move towards you as velocity decreases. When firing 100 balls at a pretty consistant 31 bps, it should be fairly obvious if the gun is suffering from airflow problems.

No, I didn't chart them. I used the Mk I eyeball device to conclude that there was no NOTICEABLE dropoff. The video has been thoroughly scrutinized on here and PBN by now, so please keep your sarcasm in check.

Yeah that's right. The Mag needs a SCUBA, but every other marker can magically be supplied enough air flow from standard tanks.

Let's see the other markers doing it off-field with a SCUBA before we believe any on-field claims.

Another case of you spouting off without getting your facts straight first. The issue with mags isnt airflow, its pressure. The mag in that video needed about 2500 psi AT THE VALVE to bounce enough to get 34 bps. Please, O Wise One, tell me what paintball tank outputs 2500 psi?

My viking did the 31 bps with a dynaflow because it was using electronic bounce to hit that speed, not the mechanical bounce the mag was using.

Why do you even try Ryan?
They're just going to nit pick at something else man

one with a gutted reg and new burst disc?

sorry, just had to say it everything youre saying is right though.

Id like to see a test with sustained fire with a Cheetah Halo.
does anyone know the max input voltage on the motor?

I think it's kinda weird that we are on an automag forum, yet we talk about wating paint. Remember we were the ones "wasting" paint in the early 90s.

But my cocker has better range and accuracy!1 :)

/I KNOW that my _______ hit 46bps. I KNOW it just liek I KNOW that the guy that shot me was hot. I KNOW it!

[UTDragun]

What about the MQ cocker?
What were the specs of that 31bps viking?

[UTDragun]

To me, BPS is like horse power, once you get over 400 it doesnt matter how much you have, you can still outrun that 'cruiser.....uhh i mean after you get over 400, its all just a "status" thing, just like clock speed on computer processors

[Steelrat]

It was a 2k4 stock viking with a mighty max and a WAS board. I had a dynaflow tank on it. I just set it up to be very bouncey at DB 1.

Pie?

Who ate all the PIE!?>!1
