So I put a 12 through it last night to get some Chrono readings, I will post the results for each shot soon (hopefully by this time tomorrow) for now all you get is the basic setup info for the testing.
Gun: Gargoyle, everything stock except for a "penny mod"
12ie - Leland
Paint - All star bougth 12 days ago, didn't find any serious dimples or deformities in the paint it was in pretty good shape but a blow through test did find that the bore match was not quite what I would have liked it to be. The fit looked fine at first but the ball did stick at one point in the barrel air traveling past it at two points and two points (these points were 180* apart) in contact with the barrel holding it in place, picture an oval stuck in a circle.
Temp - low 60's
Total shots taken - 34
Chrono speeds (using handheld X Radar)- 288, 297, 291, 000, 309, 273, 289, 279, 285, 289, 276, 303, 278 285, 301, 286, 288, 290, 282, 280, 300, 271, 280, 260, 276, 277, 259, 244, 237, 206, 000, 000
000 means I did not get a reading. Before the next 12ie is tested I will be turning the velocity down a little.
conclusion to come. I will continue collecting data until I have chrono'd 100 shots and then write a conclusion. In the amount of time I expect this to take I will have had a chance to get this on the playing field at least once maybe twice. I'm also going to search for the smallest bore paint I have on hand and see if I can get a roll out with it.
OPSERVATIONS - I'm assuming that this is due to the lip created by the new feed design but once a ball rolls into the "ready possition" above the breach it pretty well stays there I lifted the gun to about a 85* angle (almost vertical) before the ball rolled back into the feed and out of the "ready possition". The pump stroke is much smoother than my VSC Phantom w/ Wevo undercocking kit, to give some of you a little closer referance it close to the stroke of my Duckslide. The trigger is the first slider that I have used on any nelson based gun so I can't compaire it to much of anythign, other than a hot knife through butter, it's just plaine smooth. There is one issue that RTR is already working on fixing, it deals with the 12ie's they mine are not puncturing all the way due to sitting too low in the bucket, a penny in the bottom of the bucket is my temporary solution until the problem is fixed properly.
Sorry this info is coming so slowly but as it tends to do work, kids and life in general has a habit of getting in the way of paintball time . Stick with me guys. Once the testing is done I will put all of it in one post in a review thread
