Hot Inferno
- Thread starter gary

First thing to make sure is that your CO2 bottle has the anti-syphon tube in the correct place,
I take it when you say 302-320 fps that is the range you are getting from the velocity adjuster?

Put a regulator on it (PMI Pure Energy is a great one that doesn't cost a lot of money.) and/or run remote. Also don't let your co2 bottle sit in the sun or let it get pointed down, or you will drain liquid into your gun and shoot hot for the rest of the day. Read your manual too.
with the adjustment at its full i was ranging from 302-320 but
this was on a full co2 bottle
did not dare to go the other way marshals were not to happy TO LET ME TRY.also there is a snti-syphon fitted
how much is a PMI PURE ENERGY REGULATOR
THANX FOR ADVICE SO FAR

Does your t3 have a front reg on it?
It could be that your inferno is still sprung/valved for winter.
Markers running on CO2 (especially blow-backs) tend to need different spring/valve combinations during warm and cold weather, as the CO2 doesn't expand as much during the winter.
During the winter, the CO2 expands less, and is at a lower pressure, so more gas needs to be let into the marker to propel the paintball at the same velocity. Once the weather warms up, your CO2 is at a higher pressure, but if you still have the winter springs/valve in, you are still getting the larger amount of gas through, pushing your velocity up.
If it gets too warm for the winter kit, then you end up shooting about 3 feet, as the pressure in the valve is too high for the main spring to open the valve far enough.
IIRC the summer valve is the black one, but I'll try and double check that for ya.
There is also a ague possibility that the main spring is hung up inside the body of the marker, and is stuck so that the velocity adjuster is not in contact with it, but that's probably quite unlikely.

A PMI Pure energy reg runs about $40-50, not too shabby at all for a reg that works. They're also very easy to find, which is a plus, and come with replacement orings should you ever need to use them. The design uses one spring and a piston with two seals. Simplicity is good in paintball.
Dont listen to all this techy advice from these seasoned pro's!! All you need to do is get a bit of old chewing gum & partially block the gas hole in your bolt! Cheap and effective!! Page 13 ACME guide to Paintball cheapcuts! (No DONT try this at home!)
