I am wondering what you have your Powerwheel set to ?
If you get a valve that flows very well and reduce your power wheel to the minimum, then you reduce striking noise, but still put out plenty of volume.

Sometimes it makes sense to not sell the whole gun, but to sell the major parts and let maybe the stock be built and made in USA.

You can ship more per container and still the real parts that make the Edgun accurate are still under your control.

You can increase your volume.

Think outside the box.

The exit hole is .288, which is (.288 – .250) / 2 = .019 clearance, so yes a slight shift can offset the hole, so even if the pellet never touches the side, it still is compressing air more on one side than another.

Say your seat is .250 in diameter. Area = Pi R squared. A = 3.1416 x .125 x.125 = .049 so there are 20.37 seat areas in a square inch (1 / .049) so at 3000 psi you would have 3000 / 20.37 = 147.26 pounds OR at 2000 psi, 2000 / 20.37 = 98.18…Read more
