Impulse dwell question

[bmxpro101]

What is better (more efficient): Higher dwell, lower pressure/ or lower dwell, higher pressure?

thanx

 

[Half-Pint]

just remember that higher pressures are more dangerous to your solenoids and to your paint. however lower pressures, although better for your marker and paint, lower your rate of fire as the dwell is open for longer. it's just about finding the right balance for you. if you can't shoot particularly fast, then you can get away with the lower pressure option.

correct me if i'm wrong by the way guys.

basically what half pint said

The easiest way to get your dwell correctly set is to set your imput pressure at around 175psi, then get a crono + turn the dwell up/down until the gun is shooting at 290fps. The gun will sound alot 'crisper' and less like a wet fart when it is set-up sweetly

Worked for me!

I have tried this but to get 290fps my input pressure is over 200psi.

Please help as this is not good seeing as I'm running a baby sized air tank.

Have you tried it adjust the dwell in all differnet settings?

Have you got any upgrades on your impy, which will affect the pressure.

And lastly is it a cricket, or standard

 

[Bogus]

Its a standard Impulse at the moment.

How do you mean different settings?

 

[Burb]

sorry misread, previous quote - just meant have you altered them up and down as suggested.

I'll try again, could of cousre been doing it wrong.

Thanks.

PS - During a day playing, if the velocity needs adjusting, should I change the dwell first or the input pressure
