Well im testing the barrel break theory and well i just had a thought on the temp out side....i was wondering if i should wait to do it till after it warms a little (to like 60-80 degrees) or if i should ust do it

[Lord Odin]

Who all is going to this event? It's at CPX Sports on May 30-31st.

[Lord Odin]

what's your test?
if you want to get a lot of breaks - then maybe the colder temps will help.

[brycelarson]

which section would you like it in?

and yes, Gordon and I plan to come down.

[Lord Odin]

The IL - Big Events section, please.

well you guys decided i think a while back that barrel breaks are caused by loader mistakes or something to that effect. I had a differnt idea
ill be sending you guys the data 100% when im done with video proof and everything so you guys dont claim i facked it cause this is the internet and what not because everyone claims is fake.
but my idea is that the seam of the paintball had more to do with it than anything. My thought is that every now and then the paintball will ether have the seam line up parrel or perpendicular to the bolt and thats what causes the barrel breaks more than anything
ill go in deader detail in my video and what not
i should be able to exsplain it all in there. I know im not a scientist and i know this probly wont change minds but im doing it all under controled ciurcumstances trying to pick out exactly what cause it the most.

[Lord Odin]

If you're looking for breaks in relation to ball orientation, I would do it in colder temps. That would help ensure the likelihood of breaks occurring than if it were warmer. I say go for it.

This really is something that needs to be tested real well, it would just be tedious as hell.

[brycelarson]

yup, since it sounded like you want to get more breaks - then do it in the cold - that should help.

Our break test took 10 hours or so to complete - and it involved loading ZERO balls by hand. I look forward to your results - but be warned - it's going to be tedius.

If you have any concerns about your test not being taken seriously - then post up your methodology and we can help you craft a more defensible test.

[Lord Odin]

Make sure you dress warm enough, too. That could be easily overlooked considering you might be standing around for a while and not moving much.

[FauX12]

I might come out, any word on prices?

[Lord Odin]

Not yet. Still too far out.

[brycelarson]

If I remember correctly last year was something like $55 pre-reg entry and $75/case. don't quote me on that though.

[hockeyfan269]

I'm gonna try to come out. haven't tried CPX yet, so mine as well give it a shot.

[brycelarson]

CPX is a great field. I'm particular to the city field - some great cleaning sweeps last year. CockerPunk and I murdered piles of guys in there.

nice. alot of guys using scenario guns usually??

[Lord Odin]

Bedlam is pretty fun but it can be dangerous at times. If not cleaned and maintained, it can get real slick. Last year, I just got my T8 and wasn't used to it. As I retreated back, I slipped on a sidewalk and not only dropped my gun but also cut open my hand pretty well that required a medic visit. I don't think you're supposed to come off the field bleeding like that. Besides that, it's really fun.

Personally, I prefer Armageddon, Jungle of Doom, and the woods field. I usually do really well in those.
