velocity

[freek133]

i just noticed this but how do you change the velocity in the maverick/traccer/hornet/hammer. they all have just springs and stuff. i have read that you have to take the internals out to get to it. is this true?

[zenmaster]

you gotta take the gun apart, and yank the hammer out, then replace the main spring... having a large collection of cut and uncut nelson springs is a must for adjusting your velocity

[-Dusty-]

You don't have to take it apart..

Well i didn't.you take off the barrel and use a long allen Key to adjust the bolt and the spring..this works great for small adjustments but for larger ones you have to change springs.
I never had to change springs..
You only ever have to change springs is if you go from indoor to outdoor.:crazy: :P

what -Dusty- say is true but only for the deluxe version of this marker.
if you have the model of base, you must change the springs

[zenmaster]

yep yep
a key item when shopping for a nelson based pump is an "adjustable velocity" bolt... otherwise, clipping springs is the only way you can do it...

[snipinhick]

what is it called on the phantom? somthing like tune port compensator? its is really a ven bolt but hey, what ever works.

hehe the tune port compensator I think is what it's called. Just some fancy name or something. On a phantom changing the velocity is pretty easy. I don't know why people complain about it.
