The new hush bolt for your planet marker

Ok guys got my new bolts today from BZ at shotts game lubed it put a pin on it and away I went now to put you in the picture I use a GUERRILLA AIR SYSTEM 48cu 4500psi now with a 3000psi fill I could only get 4 pods and a hopper out it today with my new hush bolt fitted and a 4000psi fill I got 8 pods and a hopper And when I had used my paint on the gauge it was 1500psi so it does seem that the new bolt does what it says on the tin and the sound diffrence from my cure2 and 3 bolts totaly diffrent much lower noise

So you are saying just a change of bolt made this difference

4 pots and a hopper off .8l 3000psi fill before the bolt change

to

8 pots and a hopper off .8l 1500psi (as you filled to 4000psi and had 2500psi left) after the bolt change.

So you are getting twice as many shots using only half the air ?

Somehow I don't think so

or are you saying not very clearly you shot your usual 4 pots and a hopper and had 2500psi left from 4000psi

So what your saying is, you have a 0.8L bottle

With PE bolt 3k fill = Hopper & 4 pots
With Hush bolt 4k fill = Hopper & 8 pots with 1.5k remaining in bottle.

From just a drop in replacement bolt, that is very hard to believe.

Just to break it down into even terms:

Shots from a 0.8l bottle, per 1k psi:
No hush bolt - 253
Hush bolt fitted - 528

Over double the performance from changing the bolt? I'm skeptical.

That would also mean that a 1.1l bottle filled to 4k could fire just under a box and half. Anybody know of any marker that can do that?

i think if your going to compare thing's, they both need to be the same amounts of fill. And unless you had to reduce the HP/LP settings by a fair bit the same amount of air gets to the Bolt :confused: and who make the replacement got a link ?
