Myth or Reality

Everyone is missing the point here

This is a perfect opportunity to have some new gear made.

Front: Why play with an Automag?

Back: Because they shoot harder!

Hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers.

EDIT: beemer, read the manual. the gas blasting into the chamber heats it up, expanding it, and thereby raising the pressure. the faster you do it, the hotter it gets and the faster it shoots.

Ummm ya I know. I was a beta tester on the original RT. Show me where it says a 20 fps climb. What it does say is the faster the more consistent.


To add....If I can pull release pull and hold faster then you I will crono your gun at a higher fps then you will with the same velocity setting that you cronoed with.

I wish I had my m manual so I could photocopy it. I never said 20, but a significant climb is expected. which is why there is a proper and an improper chronographing procedure fo rthe rt's..

[d4m4don3]

I dont think so. Where did you hear that?

I've seen it happen a couple of times to my own marker, but given the variables it can also be the paint size. 20 was a rough estimation I made.

I know you didnt. I quoted D4m4. You were the one who told me to read the manual. I KNOW very well how to crono the RT, X valve. 5fps is significant but it aint no 20 either.

If they do it again, say "ok", but ask if you can keep the shoot-around-corners option on

No.

Have it say....

"Mags do it harder".

I'm going to make it into a shirt just for you, and i'll make em for AO days.

My local paintball field makes me shoot my Tac-One at 250fps instead of the standard 280fps. When I asked why they said mags hurt more than other paintball guns. I was wondering if this was actually true because it makes no sense to me. All opinions will be accepted. Please Help Me!

It makes absolutly no sense the impact is based on the velocity and mass of the paintball alone. Where this comes from are RTs that climb in velocity. if you follow the proper RT chronographing proceedure you (or your opponents) will have no problems.

They were probably making sure you don't go over 280, a tac-1 has an x valve and the rt effect can increase the speed of the marker to 270 if its set at 250. They're just making sure you do the correct chrono procedure.

I think I'm the only ref in the past 5 years to properly chrono an RT.. which is pull and hold, quick release and pull-hold, quick release pull-hold... etc.

I did it at some local 3man where some kid had an RT... it broke so I lent him my cyborg at the time (2004) ahha.

Thats exactly how they explained to do it in that cheesy video that came with my rt pro. Aside from it looking like a cheap 80's video, its actually pretty informative.
