blowback into electro-pneumatic?

[jadamsyeah]

i was reading threw some websites and i came to this one. http://www.pdpaintball.com/newkit.htm
It says it turns a blowback into a true electro. I was wondering if this would rallywork and would it be worth to buy. It looks like it has alot of parts stickin out. I dont think this would be worth it but i was just wondering what everybody thought about it.

In theory, it would be fairly simple to convert a blowback marker such as Piranha into an electro-pneumatic (EP). Making the conversion without drilling additional holes would be the tricky part.

As to whether or not it is worth it?

I know absolutely nothing about the person(s) who make this particular after market product, so I don't really know.

In theory, replacing the mechanical pneumatics with electro-pneumatics SHOULD be better than simply doing an electro-trigger (ET) upgrade. If you're planning an ET upgrade, this might be worth considering instead.

Questions I would ask:
1) How many valves does this EP upgrade use?
For example: Blowbacks (Piranha) uses one valve, 'cockers use four, Angel IR3s use 13, etc... In general, the more valves, the better the control of the air pressure and consistency.

2) What is the shot to shot consistency?
You would want a list of velocity checks over at least 10 shots with the marker before and after the EP upgrade.

3) Does the upgrade affect shot run-down?
In other words, does the marker velocity drop from rapid fire?


Personally, for that kind of money, I would wait to hear the reviews on the new EP Bushmaster coming out. It's in the same price range.
