In reply to: Nico 's message, "Local field FPS" on 21:59:50 01/11/03 Sat

Our field runs 280 outdoors, and 240 indoors. I won't play at the indoor field, because I don't want my spring clipped any more than it already is. A good regulator comes in handy in cases like this....wish I had one *sigh*

F4's sure are nice for consistency, eh? This last fall, I loved watching people's face - who have never heard of, let alone seen an F4 - as I shoot 275, 277, 276, 277, 276, 276 over the chrono on unregulated CO2 (and *very* well polished internals. Thanks Reaper!! You the MAN for those instructions), when they can't do that well with their dual regulated spyders and tippmans.

Consistency seems to vary directly with temperature...the day I was getting +/- 2fps was probably 90 degrees with no clouds. My CO2 bottle was almost too hot to touch (being as it is, black). Nevertheless, 3 weeks ago, when my N2 kit blew an o-ring, I went back to my CO2 tank (same gun, same anti-siphon tank, just 40 degrees instead of 90) and my velocity was all over the place....I never actually had to adjust it, because it never broke 280, but I was getting +/- 30 fps. What a mess!
