Impulse

[Tom Tom]

I have a standard Impulse, and for the most part I am happy with what I have due to lack of funds to be able to buy anything else.

I know the Vision Impulse is just that bit better because of the vision eye and the ability to not chop a ball.

What my question is then,

Can I reduce the ammount I chop, (as I am trigger happy) by the hopper I use or any other part that is cheaper than a new marker but will help me out as I start to play more Tourneys.

If you have any tips please help,

Thank you.

Tom.... hope the impy's doing well mate. If you want to reduce the amount that you chop, you can tweek the maximum rate of fire pot inside the gun (as in on the board). There is an adjustable range that you have to work within which is when the led on the back is green(must be switched on). This adjusts your rate of fire and by setting this to the speed that your hopper feeds at the board will electronically limit your rate of fire and greatly reduce chops.

Hey Kieran,

How do you know how fast your hopper is (as in rate it can drop) And this rate of fire is that anything to do with the little dwell dial on the outside of the marker?

Cheers for your help m8

Depending on what type of hopper you have, it may be worth upgrading to something like the X-board and the Evol paddles, should you have the standard 12V revvy.

Tom... the rate of fire pot is inside the marker and nothing to do with the dwell pot... what you need to do to adjust it is take out the two silver screws that hold the grip frame on. don't just rip the frame off, be carefull and then you need to unplug the solenoid to avoid ripping its wires out... its the only plug in there so easy to spot. There is a pot that looks identical to the dwell pot with 'semi' written next to it, that is the ROF pot that you need to adjust. Its fairly hit and miss really b/c you can't tell exactly what speed its set at, turning it anticlockwise turns the rate of fire down.

Have a look at the Impulse FAQ it explains most things about the impy.

The bit that deals with rate of fire is here:
