Well I was at a tourney yesterday and my gun was shooting great for most of the time. In one of my games though I was shooting fast and then all of a sudden my velocity like dropped and my balls werent making it to where I was shooting. When I slowed down to a single shot it went back to normal. I found this weird. I had 4000 in my tank and I was inputting 195-200 into the gun. My gun is fairly new I think there are like 8k on it, so I am sure some break in is needed, but i found it odd that it would drop off like that.

Input- 190-200
Dwell-11
LPR-54

Should I increase my dwell perhaps?

Any ideas you have would be great...

Personally i think that it might be the recharge rate of the conquest tank. I use a nitro duct x-stream adjustable output set at around 200 psi and i never have drop off. Try to service your conquest reg by lubing it up and everything then try it.

The tank just came back from service. It is not an everytime thing. It happens once in awhile. Like I will come out off the break blazing and everything will be fine. I will go through 3 pods and then get a drop off series...and then be fine the rest of the game... I adjusted my dwell higher, so I am going to see if that helps.

What attention have you given to the LPR on the marker recently? Have you recently removed it or cleaned it? Have you recently greased or oiled the component? Or have you recently checked your LPR pressure? What is the pressure when...

- The marker is gassed up
- The marker is left idle for 30 secs, 60 secs, 90 secs, 5 minutes
- Does the LPR pressure snap back to the 54psi you have it set to? Or does it snap to say 40psi and then creep to 54?

The gun is 3 months old, so it is pretty new. I have checked the LPR and it stays on 55 there is no creeping or anything. I am going to test it out tom and see how it works. I uped my dwell and I am upping my input pressure a bit and hopefully that will help. I am going to shoot about a case through it in my backyard so we will see how it does.

Thanks for the help so far everyone...
