the wright combination

the right combination

by mistake i just bought the eclipse titanium hammer and shaft kit
and sp voodoo delrin bolt will these work ok together on my impulse

 

[Sean]

They should work in perfect harmony

it is something to do with the overall weight of the firing system.

You have reduced the weight by putting in a delrin bolt, so by putting in the titanium, you shold be able to run it sweetly

some people have had problems getting the velocity up by just putting the delrin bolt alone in

Ahem

I think you will find it is the other way round.

Std Alloy bolt works with a Alloy/Ti Hammer
Delrin bolts require a heavier mass hammer, therefore it should be Stainless/Brass.

Now that I have cast the shadow of doom over proceedings, best be off to either Smartparts (01322 555968) or Planet (0161 872 5572) for the correct answer.

PS. I think I am right

 

[Sean]

Wait,

is titanium lighter than the standard?

if so ignore what i said and get rid of the hammer and shaft!




Honestly i'm not too stupid, work numbs me

 

[Silentbob]

Goes like this

Brass/Stainless = Heavy
Ally/Ti = Light

The lighter your bolt, the heavier your hammer has to be to compensate, or so I was lead to believe by Jack @ Planet, but I may have got it wrong, so please check.

silent bob is right you should aim to have a total mass of X amount (cant remember what it is) so if you have a lighter bolt you should have a heavier hammer to increase the mass.

However i dont belive that this will make any real diffrence to the performance of the marker what ever setup you go for, but then i havent tested it in lab conditions with £100,000 worth of computer equipment i've only used mine on the field.

so whats the general feeling
is it better to have a heavy bolt/light hammer
or light bolt/heavy hammer
or buggeral difference between the to

 

[Jamie]

option 3

buggerall difference,

Do a search on this forum for loads of info on the impulse..

 

[Half-Pint]
