FPS

[Ballantin]

I am a bit less new, but still got a lot of questions that search engines are not answering clearly.

In this case, it is about FPS.

I just got an Infamous bolt for my Axe, as well as bolt guide orings. I also got a chrono, and rubber balls. In fact, everything I need to tune it!

Well the question is, tune it for what?

I know the max legal FPS is 330 feets per second.
I also know that the max FPS in Millennium series is 300.

But what is the max FPS in the UK masters? And the most common one in training/walkon sites?

Also, about the tuning of the marker.
Rubber balls (reballs) are harder than paintballs, and behave different. Should I trust that, for example, if I set my marker to do not pass 300 with reballs, it will achieve similar speed with paintballs, matching bores in both cases?

Thanks!

Most places are 280 fps, I think the masters is too.

Matching bore with reballs you should get close to the velocity you'll get with bore matched paint, however you'll struggle to bore match a reball, there about 0.665

dont trust reballs when trying to tune your gat. We use them weekly and trust me they just dont behave like real paint. If you are going to tune it tune it to 290 with a box of real paint. get some decent stuff too.

 

[Ballantin]

The reballs I got are a bit bigger, they do not fit on the 0.675 insert, but almost bore match on the 0.680 one.

I will use real paint on the next training session I get. I live in a flat, so I can not fire it at home. Well, I fired it twice to the tube on the toilet. And caused a mess... xD

Most places are 280 as stated by Canon, but I keep mine at 270 just incase their limit is lower.

 

[Ballantin]

Then I will lower it a bit, actually it was doing 280 to 284, with an occasional spike to 289 or 290.

 

[Skwill]

Ah OK, anyways enjoy your new bolt

 

[Ballantin]

Thank you!

Just want to be sure that I am on compliance of all the limits and rules, and keep it safe for me and others

Probably will aim to get 270 to 275.

Cheers.

Use 280 as a general guide, and always have your tools when you go to play so that you can adjust as required for the paint or site velocity on the day and any bore matching
