Mini fps issue?

[Garideon]

yeah i can't see why not but theres one other thing i forgot to mention.
paint!

what type of paint where you using? cheap/crappy paint won't be good at the chrono. needs to be decent quality paint. are you using a barrel kit aswell?

my mini was shooting amazing because i was using the above method plus FS paint and a techt ifit kit with the 0.682 insert i think it was.

in my opinion paint to barrel bore match is one of the best things you can do to your marker.

Garideons mini used to be mine ;-(
i think i am going to have to get another one

but he has covered off all the options.

clockwise to increase the pressure.

so the tank is high pressure. my method should work perfect with your tank.

a paintball friend told me to do it this way WildWayz

Aye if you have stock bolt, don't use the reg to adjust pressure. If you have a BOSS / Lurker etc then yes, you can.

I have mine set to 140psi, 3.5ms dwell and back cap 1.5 turns out from all in. Shoots 275 if I underbore it (which Boss bolts work best doing it this way)

The paint i am using is empire heat thats the paint the field i usually play at offers and as far barrel fit and bore and all that its just stock no upgrades or anything i am open to any info on that as well if you have any suggestions

 

[WildWayz]

You're never gonna get massive consistancy with stock everything. I think the stock barrel is .691 or .693 which is most cases is too big and blows a lot of air past the ball, which creates inefficiency and inconsistancy. You really need a barrel kit to improve on them - so you can match the paint to bore better. Once you do that, the +/- 20fps will drop to +/- 5 or better. BUT knock your reg down to 180psi and do as Garideon suggested and the shot will be smoother and less kicky.

 

[Joshkolo]

Wildways is saying not to do it this way now? Now im getting all confused lol

 

[Joshkolo]

So go with some kind if barrel kit that has different bores to compensate whatever paint im running through my market

 

[Joshkolo]

Do exactly what hesaid with the 170 psi and the velocity and adjusting the reg and all that?

 

[Joshkolo]

Or is there a certain size i can buy and just use no matter what paint i use?

 

[WildWayz]

Yes

Do exactly that - you wont be able to get it as low as me, but usually you land on about 180psi and a smoother shot.
