If you dont want to sleeve it just put a piece of long circular wood under the barrel and tape it to it,leave it over night and it straightens it out,I leave mine on 24/7 though, it makes aiming easier.

Edit:Woah I just realised he using 1.5" as the chamber dia....ill re-estimate my ggdt guess
Why did you drop your estimate by 150fps when you realized I was using a 1.5" chamber? With that chamber size, I have already hit the point of diminishing returns. If I were using 2" pipe instead, the muzzle velocity would only increase by ~40fps. A massive, oversized chamber does nothing but decrease efficiency.

Because I know my paintball rifle at 120PSI with 2 FE's(9cm I.D, 30cm long each) only shoots 650fps with a 1.6m long barrel, I estimated with your gun at 100psi with your barrel and small chamber, When I only had 1 fire extinguisher as the chamber GGDT said 550FPS.One FE as more volume then your chamber then I scaled down the pressure 115-100psi and the shorter barrel and took 150fps of my orginial estimate. Its an estimate calm down.

Ok 2 problems there

1:You said the valve was a barrel sealer...wrong,you need to put it under generic
2.You put the barrel bore as .68" when its not, its slightly larger so there is some blow by but very little probably 2-3fps worth...no biggy

I just run it and got 550fps something I forgot...My original estimate wasnt too bad

and my second was 100fps off

Hmm, I've seen muzzle velocities of 890 fps with paintballs - enough to put very serious dents in 1mm steel plate.

I have to disagree with that. Simple calculations can disprove that in an instant - or even a glance at GGDT's "barrel pressure" graphs.

EDIT: I believe that actually, a sprinkler valve is a chamber sealer...

Measured with a digital caliper, the paintballs are 17.27mm, and the barrel ID is 17.32mm. The difference is hardly worth mentioning.

When I put your figures you supplied under barrel sealer there was an increase of 25fps then when I put the sprinkler valves REAL figures in under generic (which were gathered by people who know what theyre talking about from spudtech). hmmm funny that, I also believe D_Hall suplied them....and who is he again? Oh yeah he made GGDT

Why would D_Hall make a generic option when people would put it under a barrel sealer? The generic option is more acurate and the better way to do it.

And I was joking about that barrel I.D if you didnt read.

your barrel is exactly the same length as mine (actually about 1" longer if its truely 4')

F*ck of man, are you stupid or what! Where the f*ck do you think I got those figures from D_Hall.... Erghh are you f*cking dumb!

That thread has all the CV's people have calculated where else would I get them? I got the other info from another thread that D_Hall posted some figures for a 1" sprinkler piloted by a blow gun, I think he knows what he is doing, Obviously you dont, So I think your the thick one here mate.

And why would reading that thread reduce my ignorance level? I read it when I first got my sprinkler valve awhile back,I know the figures off by heart now, but the people who posted in that thread know sh*t loads more then you buddy.

Why are you having a go at me? I took an estimate judging by the barrel length and chamber volume and valve used. Its an estimate not a statement. I didnt run one part of my estimate through GGDT, what did you expect? And for the barrel sealing part most people I knw put there sprinklers under Generic, Those people are also the smarter people and get better figures. Why would you put one thing under another when it has its own area to put it under? Like putting a Jack Russel in a Labrador kennel....they are both dogs but you just dont do it.

I just cant take anyone seriously who thought this:

a 1.5" barrel is going to get to you more range and velocity than a 2".
More velocity yes, but range, no. A larger (and thus heavier) projectile will have more inertia than a lighter projectile, resulting in a lesser drag effect, and thus, more range.

You must be stupid to think a heavier projectile or a bigger bore barrel automatically makes the projectile go further then a smaller bore.
It takes more force to push out the heavier projectile and it cant gain the same speeds as its heavier then the 1.5" projectile, Also theres more surface area meaning more drag and resistance. If you shot a 1.5" supah ball out of a 1.5" barrel it would go further then a 2" supah ball fired out of a 2" barrel(with the same volume chamber,and same valve)even if the 2" supah was say 15gm heavier

And I dont see how increasing the blow guns flow by .1" increases your velocity by 85fps. Unless your stupid and worded that bad.\

I still dont get what you have against the 'CV list for various valves' Thread on SGTC.

SpudBlaster15 wrote:Let me ask you, if you were to mod your blow gun as I just did, increasing your vent diameter from .1" to .2", how would you alter the numbers for a calculation using the generic setting?

Why would you even enter those numbers? The FPS increase wouldnt be noticable. You'd be better of increasing your barrel length by 10cm

Ok the two of you cut it out
Spudblaster is it worth proving MrCrowley wrong?
You might be could be right or you could simply be trying disprove crowley so you will look good but if you are right just let him stay ignorant if he wants to be ignorant let him. I highly doubt Crowley would be wrong considering how many post he has made and how long he has been a member since June 24, 2006 and you have been here since October 19, 2006.

MrCrowley is it worth proving spudblaster wrong?
You might be right to probably are and same for you if you are right just let him stay ignorant if he wants to be ignorant let him.

Well since you wrote this......Read the "CV list for various valves" to further reduce your level of ignorance.

Ok see you did diss that thread.

And did you not even bother to read Joanna's responce on SGTC to the whole intertia thing? Run it through GGDT you'll find the 1.5 supah ball goes a whole 100' further.

"It is obvious you dont understand the concept of inertia. When you finish elementary school, come back and talk to me. Given the same muzzle energy, a heavier projectile will go farther due to inertia."

No it wont, not all the time. I dont even know wtf elementry school is....like Americans don't know who David Beckham is.....(News report on it I saw today

)
