How can AKA say this?

[Philip]

The AKA Low Pressure Experts are proud to introduce efficient, low pressure performance for the BK0. Increase your tank efficiency by 50-100% by exchanging the stock valve for a Tornado®(PAT # 5791328) Valve and screwing on the Mitey-Max®(PAT # 5904133, 6213111, & 6227187). You must have a high flow regulator on your BK0; Sidewinder preferred. Input pressure into the marker from the Sidewinder will be approximately 180 psi. You will get more shots and straighter shots due to the 180 input pressure. BK0 Tornado Valve retails for $79, the Mitey Max retails for $30. Efficiency, low pressure, and more accurate balls are what paintball is all about.

Hmmm....how can they say this? Changing a valve and a volumiser will give that type of increase? Sorry, but sounds like BS to me

Anyone who can prove it to be right go ahead

Whats one of the most important components regarding efficiency if not the valve?

What kinda shot count does a BKO get to a 1.1 4500 stock?

Not sure bout the straighter shot bit though.....

Do we agree that high pressure is more efficient than low pressure?

No!

Or rather it depends on the method, low pressure should be a result of efficiency.

It depends entirely on the gun it is being used in. Both can be very efficient, or inefficient.

a lowpressure cocker forexample, needs more volume of air to reach the same velocity - as a high pressure cocker. That means you are taking more air out of your system - hence fewer shot per fill... Or what?

pv = nrt.

Pressure X Volume is the trade off. You need a smaller volume of high pressue or higher volume of low pressure. It is theoretically a constant depending on the other factors... in reality it is a trade off.

BUT you have to take into account loses through the system and resistance to flow etc...

If you take most guns and just try to raise the dwell or similar to lower the operating pressure you will actually end up with a less efficient gun.

PV = nRT Hey you remembered the pervert equation

Now get the hell outta my thread
