Can u correct the hopper speeds?

its been stikied!

justice at last!

Hi,

I've just been reading the spec's above again and noticed the 200bps RoF for the RACE marker.

I suspect that this figure relates to the maximum cycles per second of the solonoid itself and may not reflect the true RoF of the marker. Given that most solonoids have a cycle rate of 180-200cps, I assume that the figure shown does not take into account the following:

Ball feed time (the time it takes for a ball to drop into the breech area)

Bolt travel forward time (time it takes for bolt to travel forwards and close the breech)

Dwell time (time the valve is held open for to allow the gas to escape)

Bolt return time (time it takes for the bolt to return back to its rest position)

It appears that all the other figures take these factors into consideration and I would be grateful if someone can shed some light on the true rate of fire. If I am way off base please let me know, if I am not it may be best to ammend the details above to bring everything into line.

Thanks,

Jon and Chris,

LPS

the race frame electronics are capped at this, that's all it's saying, in real life i would guess that it might be capable of 25-30 bps, and so it's hopper limited

Thanks TOOLE,

I don't envy you having to sort all this stuff out but good on yer for for trying.

 

[TOOLE]

Thanks mate

the actual CPS/BPS the thing is capable of is dependant on what cocker it's on, and there is no way i can catalogue all of the cockers out there.....

 

[TOOLE]

Just added macroline & push fitting info

 

[TOOLE]

Weight and open bolt / closed bolt markers added

more to come....

Note that you have the bottle testing information incorrect.


Check out the UKPSF website for bottle testing information.

bottle testing stuff updated, new BPS caps added too
