I remember when they first came out they were pretty finicky [sp?] What is their reliability now?

I to have gotten interested in getting one. I like the idea of playing occasionally limited by use of mags no hopper but still semi.

Once you figure them out they are pretty simple to keep running.

I'm out at Trigger Tyme every couple weeks - happy to let you play with one of mine.

havn't played at Trigger Tyme in Soooooo long now.

Repo - Are you local as well?

I took a few years off from them myself. It's actually improved quite a bit. Where are you playing lately?

RepomanGene · 06-26-2008, 04:42 AM

nope...some of the Trigger Tyme boys had a love affair with JD's cocker work.( Wildside)..I guess the old team would go down and hook up with Damage Delaware guys for games in the spring. we last went down for a "Star Wars" themed game.

I remember the cocker guys at TT. I think Thumper posts on mcb now and then.

They've kept the same overall design but have refined it for reliability.

Whilst still under the educate me sekshun. I believe ATS markers run on high pressure, is that correct? At what pressure, I remember reading somewhere at 800-850psi.

greenmtnphantom · 06-27-2008, 11:20 AM

going completely on the fact that they are nelson based my first instinct is to say high pressure (could be very wrong)

I have seen that some are "supposed" to be run on only CO2 or only on HPA how do you know which one to get? Is there really a difference between the a ATS that says HPA or one that is CO2 (other than the differences between the two gases that we descuse so often)

The guns will operate in the range between 650psi and 950psi. 850psi has the best velocity vs. shot count.

There is a difference between the two gases that affect the operation. If you use CO2 and F/A you can pull off all the pressure and begin to draw liquid into the gun. Once this happens the spool seals shrink slightly producing a leak. This will also drop your incoming pressure which increases your regulated pressure and increases the leak. It basically puts the snowball at the top of the hill and gives it a little push down.
