Etek 4 shooting 30bps

iloveboltz · 02-02-2013, 02:06 PM

I just came across this video of a ego 10 shooting 30 bps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-p3cXcMn0U
I have a Etek 4 Lt.. What upgrade would I need or is it even possible to achieve this ROF?
I know fields wont let you shoot this fast and its not needed!! I dont care about that!

I don't think the Etek solenoids can honestly cycle at 30bps. The Ego10 had one of the faster solenoids from Eclipse which allows it to hit that ROF. In my Etek3 on uncapped modes, I'd probably max out around 20bps. It was fun for some backyard experimentation but gets old fast. My advice, don't worry about it, save your money for paint on the weekends and enjoy your Etek4 the way it is. Those markers are machines and built to last and work well stock.

The only "upgrade" I'd recommend is a smaller bore Shaft 4 back or whichever barrel you prefer and a Cure 3+ (if you are breaking paint or having issues). Otherwise leave it stock, they work awesome that way.

Cool, thanks for the advice.. I'm not planning no doing any upgrades, I find that shooting 12 bps is just fine for me.
I was more interested in if it was possible. Like if the solenoid/board from the ego fit in an Etek.

From my past experience I don't think they are. Many people try to mod these type of things but in the end it's just too much work, time and money. Probably is possible if somebody had the smarts, money, time, and patience to do it.

Makes sense. Thanks
