Myth or Reality

[Silent Death 105]

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!

..............

That makes absolutely no sense


EDIT
Well, only if it has an HK sticker on it.

A ball coming out of the barrel at 280FPS hurts the same as a similiar (weight, consitancy) ball coming out of any other barrel at 280FPS. However, some mags with the RT/X valve have shoot up if the proper chrono procedure is not followed - some people always just set theres a bit low to avoid an issue, and I think this may be part of the misunderstanding.

And they said the legend of the mag is dead. ROFLMAO...


When I had my emag out a couple years ago, the ref came over and had me go and chrono to check if I was hot. I was wondering if it might be, since I hadn't shot the gun in a couple years previous. But it chrono'd fine (+/- 4 FPS) and was well under the limit !!!

Those mags, they just shoot harder...

Wow, thank you that was a quick respond.

This is simple physics, and they are morons, if it is going at the same velocity, and is the same paint, it will feel the same, as much as i'd like to say mags are godlike (hell ill say it anyways, mags are godlike ) But yeah seriously lol u should right in to mythbusters tho as free publicity for mag owners. -Sam

I am sure that would make a great episode.

Just Say No........

Tell them you will chrono to the same velocity as all the other players.
Dont put up with that garbage. Its descrimination.
They are just ......

[madcrisis]

if they say u cant shoot the same fps as every1 else after explaining to the their reasoning make no sense at all. then be like smart parts and drop a lawsuit.

[d4m4don3]

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 don't beleive it for one second!

There isn't a field operator in the country that would say/do that. This thread is a Myth!

You can't argue with him unless you get him a shrubbery.
