lol poor tom

but think of it this way would u rather be remembered as a legend or an *Poof* like smartparts

But you are Tom Kaye, Innovator, Legend

not The Gardener Bros. *be nice no name calling*


with any luck, this latest round of suing will result in their patents in a weakened state.
too bad they can't be nailed with anti-trust.

but you, you will always be remembered as the guy who brought some of the biggest innovations to paintball (how many companies had decent field strip methods before you?)

Hey don't worry about it, you did great things for paintball. Patents are really just a mechanism to trigger a lawsuit and don't let SP get you down

[paint magnet]

it was ground breaking to have a Reg intregal to the valve design tho. That's where the real magic was in it's day.

It would seem as though it's still groundbreaking to have a reg integrated into the valve. I don't know of any other markers off the top of my head which do so.

Cheer up Tom, you're still a little higher on my list than the Gardners. If I had to think of an analogy, it'd be sorta like I'd let you name my firstborn child, whereas I wouldn't let Billy Gardner lick the dirt off my cleats.

It's just not neccessary today or they would be doing it. Dual Reg'd HPA is the standard today. (Tank+1) Flow rates today are well more than you need as is recharge.

Back then you were talking about un-reg CO2 straight in the marker as typical.

This sueing crap will eventually come to an end. Harley Davidson did the same thing back then. Even going as far as sueing certified mechanics who started their own little shop and advertising the name "HARLEY DAVIDSON" anywhere in their shop. That was when you paid 5 grand more than MSRP. It forced other manufacturers to slightly alter designs to get around the patent and, low and behold, they made their design better after all. So Tom, think of this as a semi-retired - break, but eventually the market will come around needing your "expertice" again.

I can't wait until all these 'Pro Tournament' players realize how often it's their hopper that gets hit, and say 'oh, wait a sec, what is this warp feed thingy?'

It is not necessary only because the front reg on most guns is NOT the final regulator. What people fail to understand is that the poppet valve does the regulating on all hammer valve guns. Spoolers are another story but run at so low a pressure different things come into play.

unless i'm missing something in the diagram, you could simply replace the AIR reg on the valve with a bored out chamber and use a vert reg in place of the integrated regulator.

someone did that a few years back, i remember it, i dont remember who did it but it looked pretty cool.

anyone have pics of it?

pic man to the rescue

first here is the reg i think people are reffering to, as was i



an heres the choped mag




--sorry i dont recall who they belong to

[skife]

i wish i could find one of those.

I was thinking more for the sake of space...but I guess most markers have foregrips now anyway so that advantage is kind of lost.

I'm pretty sure that's pneumaggers.

I had a similar cap made for me that I just sold in the B/S/T section.

Does anyone have an animation of an rt valve? Seeing an animation always helps me understand things better.

might I ask who made your cap?
