hey guys, I am new
i didnt exactly which section to put this in...but i know it involves math so whatever
ok i was on a paintball forum and this guy came up with a modification to do to a gun to increase air effiency (which is a very important aspect in a gun)
In the firing chamber of the gun he placed lots of orings to create less volume in the chamber to create more pressure using the same amount of air. Then all he has to do is decrease the amount of air going in the chamber to get ball velocity back to normal (this is through a setting called dwell...its how long the valve is opened for in milliseconds).by using less air at the same pressure he saves air and DUR gets better effiency...
now with that said, some people...just...dont...understand how simple that is...they kept saying he wasnt increaseing effiency at all...he just somehow used more air in one place and less in another...ppl tryed equations but of course there incorrect if all the variables equal the same.
anywho i really want to know the correct equation or formula on how to solve this...PSI=pounds per inch^2...so would it be something like...150psi=(x amount of volume in inches squared) x (y amount of mass in pounds (which would very small since air weighs little)
thanks and sorry for long post and if i posted in wrong section
