Media/Mediums:

Whatever substance is used as the target, the result isn't mediocre..

But I'm guessing it's mostly because of the high pressure and ridiculously long barrel..

The unexpected large boom could be caused by relatively slow opening of the valve.
It " saves" air in the first stages of the launch so more gas is available after the projectile has left the muzzle.
By that time you'll have 100% flow..

This too would explain the extra thrust you are experiencing.
Not to be confused with recoil.

Basically the same as a " better" valved cannon with a shorter barrel.
Wich would be more .....my style..

That being said, you will probably get much better performance with a longer barrel and bigger reservoir as the cons " disappear" after a certain amount of ammo travel and the pro's will come into play

Having 100% flow will make this thing beat any QEV gun with the same specs as long as they are both long barreled cannons.

So you see...there must be a point where they are equal....

very well said BTB.

I am in the process of attempting to transport a friend with a 1000fps camera to my location. This is proving to be difficult due to the fact that i seem to lack any friends that meet that one "camera owning" specification.

You have plenty on this forum, just not close enough to be feasible

true true.

I can't forget about my spudfiles buddies!

unless i can find a friend that lives within 250 miles of traverse city mi, and also happens to own a high speed camera.... i am going to have to wait until i can afford one.
