pgp semi

How fast do the pgps with the semi converson shoot? Do they still retain great accuracy? Does anyone know if barrel length really affects range? How quiet are they?

Punisher's Customs · 03-10-2002, 01:07 AM

All five I've built so far are:
->Fast!, as fast as you can pull the trigger. At least 10bps.
->Accurate, I do a lot of barrel work, it pays off!
->LOUD!!!!! You can't believe it! They are SO cool!

Range isn't hurt, as long as you can attain 300fps you're fine.

Thank im going to have to get me a pgp. How did you build yours?

Punisher's Customs · 03-10-2002, 06:59 PM

Sorry, can't give away all the details.....I do this for a living.

paintball_er123 · 03-10-2002, 11:09 PM

Im glad that there's alot of interest about the semi pgp's, thanks Pun for the advise. You know about having to find a way to mount all the pneumatics on the pgp. We all understand you can't give away any secrets cuz man, this is a bloody technical design problem to be able to align and cock the pgp corectly. Im still trying to figure it out. O, a question, have you done any work on the new pgp's? the pgp 2001's i mean...thanks

Punisher's Customs · 03-11-2002, 02:46 PM

Yeah, they're essentially the same from this standpoint.
What are you trying to do?

ziggymarley · 03-11-2002, 06:58 PM

just thought since the pgp is similar in function as an autococker, that the best way would to make an autococking pgp.

my problems now is mounting, air pressure and trying to understand the basics of the sutococker.
ram, 3 way, pnwumatics reg....but the semi's i have seen are based on the old pgp, just basically trying to understand what pressure the pgp will operate at, ive played pump but never owned one, whats the operating pressure of a regular pgp. cocker pneumatics, as i have read, run at around 300 psi...or something like that

Punisher's Customs · 03-11-2002, 10:25 PM

Stock Pgp runs at 800 or so(standard CO2) and the pneumatics will run anywhere between 70 and 150psi.

i was looking at shocktech parts since they can usually be rebuilt, i like that, gonna try to draw out some designs...thanks for the info

Or you could just get your hands on a Chameleon kit for a maverick which contains all the necessary parts for the conversion aside from a little cutting and a few fitting and drilling for gas connections.

kensei66 · 04-03-2002, 10:19 AM

huh? chameleon kit installs with no cutting, drilling, or extra fitting.

Hopperfly · 04-03-2002, 11:28 PM

Oh no didn't say that you still have to cut off the top feed tube and cut it again to make the feed tube RF or LF your choice. Then you have to cut the pump arm which is then bent and used for the ram rod. But the pneumatics of the chameleon mount where you would normally put the 12 gram at. You also have to drill and tap a hole in the bottom under the valve so you can mount a fitting.

I got complete instructions for it off the web awhile back I'll have to dig around and find them.

I never did it though because I lack a welding torch.

Finnigan · 04-04-2002, 07:52 AM

You know, there's just something that scares me about the idea of takeing a welding torch to my old reliable PGP. Call me sentimental.

I have been kicking around the idea of a second PGP with an IMP kit! Maybe even Direct feed!
