Honestly, I run my guns at whatever pressure makes them shoot best. Preferably as high an input pressure as possible, with as short a dwell as possible. Seriously.

That way you get better efficiency and a higher rate of fire... most of the LP myths are rubbish in my opinion.

Okay, I was asking the question in another post what worked best. You feel that higher pressure with a lower dwell is most efficient? I went from a 7 to a 9 dwell and really didn't notice anything. What psi are u running your HPR on?

Nope. I know it. I've even gone out of my way to test it too.

Little secret, the gauges we use in paintball aren't really that accurate.

Set your dwell to the lowest that will run the gun and still give you consistent velocity.

Set your LPR so that it doesn't leak, and then to how fast you want it to cycle and how little kick you want (faster cycle gives a bit more kick).

Set your HPR to whatever gives you the correct velocity. I'm pretty sure my stock one is at 290fps on around 250-300psi. But I'd need to go and check. In all honesty I don't pay much attention to the HPR setting unless to check my regs havent' spiked. It really doesn't matter what it is as long as the gun is shooting great and you aren't getting drop off.

I called a tech just to ask him, and he said the same. Only diff was that he would keep the LPR kind of low, just so it doesn't use too much air. He also told me you can take the hammer spring out of the gun and it will work. Dunno, didn't try that.

I wish I knew some techs.

I removed the hammer spring from one of mine and it does allow you to run the ram at a lower PSI.

One of yours?

One of yours?

its simon, hes an NPS engineer... what do you expect?

You called a tech to check on the word of one of the foremost paintball engineers in the world today?

[funeralplanner]

No.... I called before I was able to get back and see the post. Sorry. I wasn't very specific.

[manike]

Sorry, I was just teasing. :) I currently have 3... two pre-production prototypes I got for testing and debugging and one production unit. If I'm at events I lend them out for people to try. Funny thing is how they often then end up buying them (or saying they will).

One of my prototypes is now a 'test bed' gun for some new parts and stuff.

[funeralplanner]

Let me know what parts you feel work well will you? Any so far?

Hey Manike, are you going to be at the Camp Blanding game?

I'm headed there with "Tallahassee Tactical" if you are.

[manike]

Is that the Viper game at Elmer, NJ?

If so, then yes hopefully I will be. :)

[FSU_Paintball]

no... it's in FL at a military training facility or some shiz. Too bad. Perhaps I shall meet the elusive manike at some other point in time :)
