The Matrix and poor efficiency

[68magOwner]

walk RIGHT BY the fill stations.

Not necessarily, there is at least 1 field here where you have to walk up a small hill to get air. It not like an extremely far walk, but, not convient at all.

although, yeah, walk by it at most fields.

lohman i realize you arent really *****ing about efficiency, but just to let you know, there are a ton of upgrades to do to the bolt kit if you so wish.

First off, as rk mentioned, is the polishing of the bolt, much like polishing of the bolt stem on a level 10, it allows the least ammount of friction on the bolt, with the orings, but this can also be done by some trial and error in finding the least resistant, yet sealing orings.

second off is slick honey. or dow 33 use it.

3rd off is bolt mods. tophat and back plug are the 2 most common. now you can do the 530 mod to the bolt back cap as seen on pbn, or you can do the following. Buy a hybrid back cap, a dye lp back cap, or send it to be bone braked. now the tophat mod is pretty self explanitory, and go to www.matrixowner.com for info, or PM hawk with the info, he wiill get you taken care of. OR. if you purchase the hybrid mods, it comes with a back cap, and a top hat piece to get you set. .

3rd is the orange bolt, pretty self explanitory, and also comes with a tophat piece to utilize.

4th is lowering lpr, again, straight forewards

and 5th is lowering dwell. once again, straight forewards.

all in all, you know im a matrix guru, self proclaimed that is, but i still run my dmc on stock ish settings. i havnt modded the bolt at all, nor have i done much to it. i have lowered my lpr, and i have set my dwell lower, but i also run m7. so thats why,

as always, if you have any q's im me, im on alot, and if im not, leave me a message, and i wiill get back to you

I was talking about Slade, not Lohman.

true its my fault, i never said it was "equipment failure". but sometimes i forget to get fills, or dont have time to, or even at some fields they run two games back to back without leaving the field. efficiency would be nice for times like that.

Do you carry more paint than you can get through with your air? If you do, that constitutes poor planning as well. I understand where efficiency would be nice, but its overrated.

i get like 300 shots with my micromag from a 47/3000 tank

with my emag, using a 68/3K, I can shoot a VL Revvy, along with 2 180 rnd tubes (the old APP Magnum tubes...love those things), and still have some air left over, but not much. With my shoe-box shocker, I can basically shoot one additional tube.

There certainly are times that I wish I could shoot another tube with the emag, using the same tank, but no worries. No more tournament ball for me, at least not this year.
