More on high pressure vs low pressure

Going back to the earlier discussion of the pressure of gas in a paintgun's valve not meaning much about the pressure of gas that actually hits the ball, there is a nice article on barrel theory by Airgun Designs president Tom Kaye in the June 2002 issue of Action Pursuit Games magazine.

In the article, he says that he's used pressure sensors to record the pressure spike actually hitting the ball, and that of the markers sampled (I know he's got a big collection, I've seen him often times trade E-Mags for other 'guns so his research collection could grow) the pressures actually hitting the ball range from 50-125 psi - and that's everything from "high pressure" to "low pressure" paintguns.

See you on the field,
-Bill Mills
