Thanks for verifying :D
Ok here it is, it's a short clip with only a few collisions but this bbmg doesn't have such a high rof.

Stick to moderating :lol: jk :D
It would have to be more than 10mm, that way it's bigger than the valve seat and the chamber pressure can push it open.

Today I used my camera to chrony some airsoft guns :) First one is a sniper and the rest are my bbmg. The max velocity I got was 350, but I need someone to confirm my math. What I did was: Counted the frames it takes to go 24 inches (each stripe is 1 inch) Divided by two. Divide 1000 by the number I...

Ohhh sorry I was thinking it had two spots you could move it to, which would make three if you count the closed position. :oops: :lol:

JSR's piston cannon is probably the largest I've seen. BUT, the size doesn't matter. As long as your piston doesn't allow backflow, you could, in theory, pilot any size piston through a schrader valve.

JSR's--

Still, WMM does have effects which speed up/slow down the video by a factor of 2. These can be stacked for a factor of 8, which works great for the 240 fps of the FH-100 and FC-150, and well enough for the 210 fps of the FC-100 and FS-10, to speed it back up to "normal" speed. Are you running the W...

Yes, 30-210 is the only option. I was not aware of the 30-420 (I'm guessing you mean 420 not 240?) function on the FC-100.

I'm guessing the second clip was in 1000 fps? Your editer kinda messed it up :? Still cool video though.

Ok, because last time I used epoxy on metal, it was brass, and it didn't adhere good. I guess roughening would help though.
