black dragun patriot with carbon fiber barrell, delrin bolt, ACI 44ci 3k air tank and 12 volt revolution hopper
Strengths:
it really helps with the snow comin gout of the barrell on cold days. It looks good and offers a good front grip.
Weaknesses:
i tlowered my velocity by quite a bit after I put it on my spyder from 280 to about 240 the reason being that the flow is so constricted(which is what an expansion chamber is supposed to do) so i tdoes not allow enough air into the volumizer to push the ball fast enough. this also leads to some shoot down after each shot.
Conclusion:
This is a very good product with only some small disadvantages to it but still definately worth the thirty bucks I paid for it.
None really. This was the first expansion chamber I got.
Marker Setup:
Automag 68 classic w/
- Benchmark expansion chamber
- PMI Prefect drop forward
- 32 degrees Venturi bolt
- Smart Parts All American Barrel
- Viewloader Revolution
- Thumb Velocity Adjuster
Strengths:
i) Easy to install. You wouldn't need a degree in rocket science to add this to your marker
ii) Swivel base is good for lining up with the drop forward
iii) My Mag shoots very consistant now and I use CO2.
iv) No problems with liquid CO2 or anything like that and I live in New Zealand where the weather can change in five minutes. We often can five 4 seasons in one day, so its good having the expansion chamber so I can painting people regardless of anything else.
v) Nice and fat, which is good for the other hand to hold on to/brace with
Weaknesses:
i) I haven't had anything go worng with mine
ii) Im not saying its perfect as there are other good products out there, I got this one as it was on special
Conclusion:
An expansion chamber is a must for any player who runs on CO2. Once you've used one you'll see how good even great your marker can be.
Given that there are many brands out there, many as good as each other. I got this one because it was cheap (on sale) and I have never had anything go wrong when using a benchmark product.
I give it a 8. Maybe it deserves more, maybe less but in my judgment it is serving me well. I haven't needed to give it a second thought since i put it on my mag which suits me down to a 't' and thats all that matters.
