As the weather gets colder the hp guns always start to suffer, there's an lp answer on the horizon, for the lcd and ir3.

I have a feeling it was just the weather as it was running fine a month ago and I havent fiddled with anything since then. But thought I'd and find out if the higher pressure input would mean that I'd have to make any changes or not.

Is your ram adjusted like the manual says?
(it should snap in and out with a click, not just fall in to place)

If your ram is set wrongly the bolt gets a run up before it hits the ball, increasing the chance of breaking paint.


Is your ball detent up to its job??
Remove it and give it a good clean, if your gun is double feeding then that will also cause chops.

Yeah, all set up properly, I'm 99% sure it's not the gun as it's only had one case of paint through it since LiPS serviced it about 7 weeks ago. Detent seems fine too, as soon as we have one evening that's not bloody freezing I'm going to try it again and with any luck it'll be fine :)

If possible spitfire it up. I have one and they are the buisness!

And yes, I know the spitfire is very very good, but this isn't my main gun, I've got an A4 Grello (which will probably be spitfired next year now that I've had a chance to have a look at the milling for the eyes :) ) One of my mates wants to buy the IR3 and I dont want to sell him it until I'm 100% sure it's nothing to do with the gun that's making it chop :)

well, eyes for a start.

Also, additional fire modes that the angel doesnt have including ramping with (i believe, not 100% though) adjustable starting pull (i mean, which trigger pull the ramping starts on) and the rof required to maintain the ramping mode.

It also scans the trigger more times than the angel board so that you dont "miss" any trigger pulls.

I'm looking at getting it done to my A4, as I cant find a way to limit my ROF with sensi on, which means it's not legal for many tournaments, bugger.
