: One last thing Doc you said the thing you loved about autocockers was that you could customize them to the extent that none of the origonal parts ar left on the gun. Now I ask you this can you possibly do this with your angel??? Oh and by the way I took my cocker and my friends angel down to the field test strip at my local dealer chonoed(?) the guns bench mounted them at the same angle and had the same paint to barrel match. We shot off 20 rounds with each gun. Guess which gun averaged 23.4 feet more distance. That's right the autococker.I'm sure Doc can answer for himself, but I have to repeat the obvious to let people know there is a silent minority of those with basic physics knowledge.
Two balls... of equal weight, fired at the same FPS, at the same angle... will ALWAYS travel the same distance.
There are minor factors at work here, like ball spin and wind conditions, but unless you waited for the wind to change, no way is that going to add 23 feet.
Plus, I have to ask where this range is where they have a full paintball's flight worth of open distance, and then a nice flat cement or rough metal surface that ALWAY breaks the balls on the landing, and where these people went out there with tape measures good to a single inch to mark these 40 perfect splats (no bounces I assume) on the ground and were able to get it to within an inch or two. Such good paint that not a single one bounced, or sprayed paint for more than a single inch to give us this precision.
Truly impressive work, and I'm sure that people who spent the time and effort to do this study would have at least recorded all this for the math involved. Could you please post or send me the phone number or email address of this dealer that did all this work so I can discuss this wonderful experiment with them?
