Panda and his BKO Field test.

So I bought a BKO(Black). <uh. Yea?> (Still no HPA tank of my own(I use a friends 45/4500 low pressure)

So then I get it all going right and stuff, then I Gas it up and dry fire about 15 or so rounds (Very light trigger pull much lighter then I thought.) then I test how good the stock barrel really is <Pretty Crappy right?> My first impression was that it was pretty accurte for such a crappy looking barrel. then I test to see how good it is from about 100 feet away. Me and a good friend set up a target(Metal Garbadge lid) and about 7/10 balls I shot at it hit it, but the other 3 were way off... while were doing that we tested the <goodness> of the regulator after the 28 shots we had (3 on the chrono) it was doing pretty well... It was at 264, and after the 25 shots it was at 268. 

After the little practice shooting we were going to put it to the Test. Try to make it chop, and watch for a velocity spike(Its completly stock except for the ASA) and I think we had it going at about 14pbs, and then it happen the moment we were waiting for... a Chop. After cleaning it for about 30min (The manual is so stupid its amazing.) After that we chronod' agian and sad to say after 6-14pbs for around 8 seconds it went from 268 to 283 (It jumped 15ft ) but i think for stock reg on a 366$ gun it did pretty well.

All in all, I'm very happy I bought a BKO. Its an excellent gun for the price. I'm no pro, so it suits my playing level perfect(not to Crappy but not pro-material) I hope to see more BKO's out there in the future, I also Hope ICD (Indian Creek Design) Makes a later model of the BKO that will come stock with pds.

-Enjoy! (PICS COMING SOON!)

P.S. Im upgrading next month when I save up for a 4-piece Empire Barrel kit, and a Bob long torpedo. Then after that possible a Chaos board or PDS.

The BKO is a pretty light gun(Much lighter then my old 98c) and its fairly compact so it should serve you well. If your not going to any upgrades (Barrel, Regulator etc...) Get the impulse there a bit lighter then the BKO is but there a bit more $money$...< Impulse<--- link> A cocker would be... ehh... a good and bad choice...  Cockers are some really great guns but to make them magnificent you have to throw a HUGE chunk of you wallet into one.

It's all prefrence... some people do better with a E-98 then they would with a Intimidator. I myself notice that in Rec. Games I have done lots better with my BKO then I did with my Shocker.

Also, Unless you have a sponosr type person(Or good connections) I wouldn't spend over 600$ on a gun, its much better to get skill and have fun then to get flashy, and sit there saving up money to buy a 1K$ gun... I see sometimes were pro-lite users will take out people with cockers/Bushys/Impys etc... (I've been one of these people... )
