Permanent Pump Blazer?

Ir0nExpress · 03-17-2007, 04:38 AM

Heyy guys, thanks for lookin, I'd like some thoughts on what I might be possibily doing in the near future.

It's occurred to me that my tastes in my guns are shifting and I've considered turning my Blazer, which I considered selling, into my permanent pump gun with a pump kit and selling my phantom instead. I love the size,weight, and balance of my blazer MUCH more then my phantom.

Would the tuning to get maximum efficiency be mostly playing with spring combos?? I noticed the tinker's kit has a good variety of springs in there. Or is the blazer efficient as is and backing down the LPR is more then enough to prep it for pump play?

Thanks for your thoughts!

While I have insufficient experience with pump/semi combos to offer you any sage advice, I will say that I am considering a similar approach.

If I could have only one paintball gun, it would be a Blazer with a pump kit.

I think you'd be fine backing off the LPR and just letting it ride. Blazers are already extremely efficient with the stock springs. I can get over 1100 shots on a 12oz CO2 tank with my Blazer (that's as a semi).

If you were running it strictly on 12grams.. you want the smallest valve chamber and routes of expansion possible.

I would think it would be best to try and alienate the LPR fromt eh system if you want ot go for custom nelson train shotcount.

Back down the rock, slide pump grip on, insert a retaining screw. Done deal in conversion.
Leave the pump guide in place after installation. Reverse the order to use as semi. You would have more efficiency, as you are not using any extra air to re-cock the gun
Make sure you get the new pump kit, as it is much better built.
