Geo3.1 Efficiency ? Does It Get Any Better ?

[going_home]

Mr Wood ?

Does a Geo3.1 ever get any better efficiency after a break in period ?

If so whats the expected ball count efficiency after break in, and whats the break in period ball count ?

I bought one today without checking youtube and now I'm a bit surprised how bad they are out of the box.

I'm comparing this to the Ego LV1 which is very efficient.

I was planning on selling the LV1 and keeping the Geo3.1 but now I am doubting that was a good plan.

Its a terrible dilemma.

IMO: spool valve guns at this time will never match the efficiency of a poppit. It all comes down to you as a player and what you want...I.e. Efficiency,Feel,ease of maintenance.Ect.......

Which spools and which poppets are you referring to? There are some very efficient spools, and some very inefficient poppets.

Spools can reach 'poppet' level, but that is based on design. Most of them dump an entire LP chamber, and from what I have found is the last 50psi is wasted in most setups. On a gun dumping a 150psi chamber, that means a considerable portion of the air is wasted.

Poppets 'pop' open and release part of the air chamber, often leaving the last 50psi. That goes a long way to increase efficiency. But if badly tunes, sprung, or otherwise they can waste that air also.
