Is a Vert Feeder a better option than the side feeder on the Tippmann 98 Custom ------------- http://www.freewebs.com/outlawspaintball/index.htm - Outlaws *Sponsors* http://www.abrika.ca - Abrika |

Yes.
Centerfeed has a theoretical feed rate of 17bps (relying solely on gravity). The 45* feedneck on the 98 has a theoretical feed rate of 14bps (again, gravity only). So yes, centerfeed feeds faster. ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |

^^^I know that a vert feedneck will feed faster than a 45* feedneck, I'm just curious where these numbers came from?^^^ (seems kinda fast for gravity fed) ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom GTA Response Trigger Crossfire 68ci 4500psi Palmers Stabilizer Male Halo Frontman Smoke LED 12" All American Smart Parts Wood Grip Grey VForce Profiler |

Rufus Dawg makes a pretty good vert kit for the 98, one of my friends has it.

No offense but thats complete poop unless you meant something else. Cause I think a gun can shoot faster than 17bps, and a gravity feed hopper does 3BPS so what are you talking about. But I would think theres a difference between CF and LF but it is so tiny. And most CF guns can outshoot a Tippmann. -------------

That's the therotical limit, it's not absolute. A force fed hopper can feed the paint faster than 17 bps, because it's forced, it's not using gravity such as a revvy. And he's not saying a gravity fed will feed 17 bps, he's saying that's the absolutle fastest gravity can drop a ball down the neck into the chamber. ------------- "Yes there are two path you can go back, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on"

The numbers were done by Doc Nickel. We're mesuring the feed rate of feednecks, not hoppers. So a centerfeed FEEDNECK can feed 17bps, and a 45* FEEDNECK can feed 14bps, theoretically. ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |

That makes alot more sense, I could not understand what maroon was talking about. I use a Halo TSA so I dont worry about feeding problems... as of yet ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom GTA Response Trigger Crossfire 68ci 4500psi Palmers Stabilizer Male Halo Frontman Smoke LED 12" All American Smart Parts Wood Grip Grey VForce Profiler |
