Added Level 10 tuning.

Zoo, would you mind putting on some general info on the Warp? Will it work with a mechanical 'mag? How do you get it to run off 2 9v's? What's the difference between the AGD package and the PTP package?

Thanks in advance!

Getting Warp info together....

Thank you, Zoo.

Great thread. Glad to see some AGD info here!

Quick, random question for you 'mag fellows: what is "chuffing"?

[pvcHook]

Chuffing happens when you either shortstroke the trigger, or when the Level 10 antichop bolt prevents a ball break. Either way, the bolt doesn't come out full force; it moves forward a bit, stops and the built-up air is ejected from the chamber so the bolt can resets itself. The whole process create a 'chuffing' sound.

*EDIT*

Here's a better definition from Wikipedia:

The Level Ten, or Level X bolt is AGD's answer to the ball breakage issues that plague players. This drop-in upgrade eliminates the need for the powerfeed design on older body styles and was ushered in with the Ultra Light Engineered vertical feed body. Most modern electronic markers rely on electronic "eyes" to prevent chops, consisting of either an Infra-red sensor or an LED/Light Sensor combination. When a paintball enters the breech, the eyes complete the firing circuit and allow the firing cycle to continue. The Level X upgrade, however, does not rely on electronics, and is thus not susceptible to problems associated with dirty or uncalibrated eyes.
When installed correctly, the bolt accelerates with minimal force through the first part of the breech. Upon reaching a certain point, it goes to full speed to seal the breech and fire. If it comes upon an obstruction while accelerating, the bolt releases the blow-forward gas in a chuffing sound, allowing the ball to settle while resetting into a ready-to-fire position. Because of the gentle initial acceleration, if a ball is half-fed, it will never be broken by the bolt's impact.

Thanks pvcHook.

Hey, my pleasure! I always like to freak out players in the staging area when I put my finger in the breech and pull the trigger.

Best way to show the Lvl X bolt in action, as well as the chuffing sound

While I certainly trust TK's work ... better your finger than mine
