Trajectory

[Jared Pelletier]

I love my speed, but when I shot a team mates A4 I felt like the trajectory of it was signisifcantly greater than my speed however it had slight kick while my speed has none. Is this just a feeling im getting or is it actually better? If so is there anyway I can bring my speed to shoot like that!

It all depends on what the settings on each gun are. From the air input, LPR, and dwell. Ask your buddy what his setting are and try them on your speed to see how it shoots.

Settings are very important. You gun might have no kick but not running optimal settings so the A4 is better shotwise. Might be barrel and paint match which is the most important thing. Speed might need tune up etc.

It may just feel better or your brain is saying this
A4 = newer=$$$=Better
speed=older=$=loser
A4>speed but in real life if just shoots faster due to bounce and most improvements where minimal if you can tell.
In most cases it's your head playing games with you and the brain is making you think the A4 rocks over the speed so you can justify getting one. All that matters is you get the elims and like the way the gun shoots and that is what paintball accuracy is all about and also in real life, confidence.

AS for accuracy, Very touchy subject. please no comments on a4 is more accurate than a4 so go get one. Just because you justified ditching your speed for a4 doesn't mean you should make others feel the same way.

300 FPS is 300 FPS no matter what gun you shoot. Next time aim higher & shoot with the wind & you shoot further too.

True, but he didn't say what each gun was chrono'd at.

[ricecrispi]

True that, alot of reasons why two angels shot different even between the same model. In GENERAL and THEORY different guns will shooting at above 8 bps will have same grouping and trajectory if properly setup.


300 fps= 300 fps is not true, its math a 6 grader newb pballer did that and told to everyone else and it spread. That is a base theory but hardly true because so many variables in real life.

I've tried explaining this many times. You live on Earth, welcome to physics.

[ricecrispi]

Yeah, something wrong with your gun bro Is what we trying to say. I'll reserve my commits elsewhere.

In general guns shoot the same distance and you have to find out why his gun shoots further before you buy the a4.

[bower23]

ummmm.... don't take this the wrong way but I don't think he said anything about buying a new gun. He just wanted to know how to make his shoot like his friends a4. And trying his friends settings is a good start.

Thank you. Unless this is a different universe thing are all the same.
