Just talked to Pro Paintball, you may have your terminoligoy mixed up. Input pressure to the marker is 320 psi which is the "operating pressure". They claim that the ram cycles at 35 psi, using their tungsten hammer, honning and bolt setup. I'd have to see that to believe it, they say the special ram is shorter than an STO ram. Stock cocker rams need to have about 65-70 psi to operate reliably, and ANS about 120ish psi. You can regulate any ram down the point that it won't chop balls, psi doesn't make any difference, in the end, in the force exerted on the ball when it's tuned this way. You also slow down the overall cycle rate/balls per second, when tuning the ram this way. Razor : No, it's not a typo. They've gotten it down as low as 30, but I don't want to push it. Won't even break paint if it pinches. Just bounces off. : : 35 psi operating pressure? That's not even enough pressure to cycle the ram, is that a typo??? I thought the guy claiming 100 psi operating pressure was quite a stretch, but 35!!??? Please respond. : : Razor : : : The SFL's are nice and worth every penny, but the best out there by far when it comes to cockers is the Freeflow with a racegun grip. Go to their website (www.professional paintball.com)and they will give you any option you select on it. They operate around 35 psi internal pressure. They don't cycle hard enough to break a ball! The electronic grip has an electronic eye option too, and takes all the hastle out of timing. All the things that make cockers great and none of the tricky parts. With a cocker like this around I don't know why people buy angels.
