fs-8 effiency?

[eddie1]

i just aquired a new fs-8 with 200balls shot though it....i have a 72/3000 filled to 2500psi what should i expect to shoot outta 816 paintballs i have with me

it needs to be broken in, just as all high ends do, after about 10,000 or so shots it should be good, just go to a field and dryshoot, if they have all day air abuse it.

Also make sure your regs are blanced correctly

ok ok.....just got done shooting....i got aproximitly 700shots(1 emipre b hopper and 3 1/2 pods)........this is very well i presum for a gun that had under 200shots through it

on this website http://www.scubatoys.com/paintball/paintballshots.asp what would a non broken in and a broken is fs-8 fall under



huge mistery IMO is on my hands and ours unless im just inthe blue

ok when shooting my gun when u got down to around 400-1100 psi the hpr reg guage read that the hpr shot up past 250psi on the guage and then i had to lower my hpr screw to settle it down Y is it doing this? how can i fix this? and is it normal forthe gun to leak throguh the barrel when it gets around 280psi read on the guage?

idk, mine did that w/ the stock regs too, it wont go too far and itl be ok, but you may want to look into a new reg in the future, as i did, now i get super good consistancy. when you fs is broken in you should expect around 1500 shots off a 68/4500. Off your 72/3000 you should expect around 800 or so shots.

The HPR and LPR somehow have been made more effiecent and reliable for the FS8. However, they require that break in time because the seals haven't finished "Setting." Thus, the regs will randomly change adjustment during the day, you'll have to watch out for it.

fs8 hpr, and lpr = same as the7

the 8, and 7 are almost identical, the only differences are the milling, and the bold.
