Not very loud, i say . If you use it as an airsoft than sounds good.

With the silencer at long range you can barely make out a muffled "pfft" a second or two before you get drilled.

I don't even wanna think about how much pressure that would take :)

But on a more serious note, up until now, I've been using an air compressor that only goes to 100 psi. I'm getting c02 reg and tanks in the mail on friday-ish, and the lowest pressure rated part is 150 psi for the qev.....this only means one thing...MOAH POWER! :twisted:

For anyone who has done something like this, how much more power can the gap from 100 to 150 psi give?

for a bb, it should give you like 50 fps more...

not much, I dont even shoot when pressure drops to 150 psi. If you got a fridge, take out it's compressor ..it goes up to 500 psi i think. Now you will get decent power. And if you use steel bb, you got yoursel a PCP.

oh... i'm getting 400-500 fps at 100 psi. If I get as much as a jump in performance from say 100 to 150 psi as I do from 70 to 100 psi, then i should be getting "decent power" :)

**UPDATE**

Air rig arrived, with a little bit of cleaning it works great! I re-arranged the internal washer assembly for a lower pressure range, now i can adjust from 50 to about 300 psi.

R-hop installed, I believe the term for what is occurring would be "over hop" (by about 6 feet at 150 feet)

R-hop un-installed, back to heat shrink tubing. Works like a charm at 150 feet with 120 psi.

Running a higher pressure, this thing is loud! Silencer helps a lot with that.

And finally, would a new topic for the finished thing with a final video be okay?

with higer power the bb fly different, you wont need a hop up. I goes straight and it also has enough force after 25 m to smash a beer bottle. Also much more important is the barrel.

Its looking good.
Have you emptied the CO2 tank yet?
I am interested how many shots you would get with the qev and slide valves.

@ bravootome - my "hop up" right now is very gently rubbing the bb, not really much at all.

@ lazyboy - The tank is about 3/4 empty, and I've done 400 shots.
