What is the fastest......?

[punkncat]

Given the physical limitation of a paintball itself...

What is the fastest BPS that paintballs have actually been fired from a marker?

I know some of the new loaders will really go, and markers for some time have surpassed their actual ability to fire a paintball as it cycles at its top speed(s).

Does the paintball itself become the weak link and actually unable to deal with the forces exerted on it?

OR

Does the "loader delay" actually become the limiting factor? IE. the time it takes for the breech to fully open and a ball be fully loaded.

OR

Are current loaders the limiting factor?


A combination of all these factors?
Discuss.

who cares theres a 15 bps cap... .....

I think the loader will be a limiting factor before anything else...doesnt the b2 feed like 40-60 range? If so i guess you may be able to find out....hmmm then again the gun fully cycling may limit it also..idk

theres a karni that went 54, but it was in some training mode.. an ion that went over 30.. it shot paint to

The karni wasnt fully cycling though... well not enough to shoot a paintball.

no no no

get your facts straight
the karni was not doing full cycles so that number is worthless
and an ion did not shoot 30 with paint

every couple weeks this same thread pops up here or on PBN
the viking is the fastest marker with paint, that is all there is to it

proof? I've only seen Z-man's video as actual proof, but I could be wrong

hoppers are whats holding bps back. still, what does it matter? There is ussually a 15 bps cap, like CKY_Alliance said. I think if a loader could feed 60 it might be too much forceon the paint. Has anyone every tried supercharging their hopper? What is the fastest a hopper has actually loaded into a gun?

I have my facts straight.. the karni was in some mode I thought to be " training" that made it not fully cycle.. I just didn't mention it.. as to the ion, maybe I have my numbers off, but it went faster than the viking in zak vetters test. I know it had a t-board, QEV and some other modifications.. I don't have the video but I saw it on a friends comp

just use a qloader and be done with it

Two of my Ideas for the weakest link I'm take a look a my old school 9 volt revy here

First:
When the ball itself is feed into the hole to feed it into the breech of the marker it is gravity feed. ( I don't own a halo and probably never will) But the halo runs of the same way as soon as the paintball is feed in the hole mother nature's gravity takes into effect The warp and Q are nullified by this effect becasue they are forced into position. not like halo's and revy's.

Second:
The is mechanic's do to the cause of friction bolts and springs can only move so fast. Electro's fall kind of under the same fate. There will always be a delay of electical charge granted to a human mind no, but on paper yes (talking nano seconds) And I feel that only way to achive such speeds would be straping a 2 cycle engine to the back of your automag.

So what this boils down to is yes loaders will be a limiting factor if not forced feeded, and us as humans will never achive that rated unless mechianical motified to do so.

lol the 666 thing is ironic............ VIDEOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[magman007]

impossible, there is shoot down somewhere during those cycles causing the previous ball to not shoot as fast as the ball following it, causing the mid air bursting. Think about physics for a moment, and you will realize your drafting theory is wrong.

[HuD1Ni]

I think there would be some ball chopping in there.. and of all guns an impulse ?

I dis-agree.

The halo is forcefed, therefore there is constant pressure on the balls, so when the bolt opens for a ball to come in it is forced in rather than dropped in.
