Deception Care and Maintenance

About the LPR / reseting the regs - Jack's reply to people asking questions about the LPR
There is a zone where the Deception shoots best. Because the Rammer weighs so little and the surface area of rammer is smaller than other rammer guns "riding the line" on lowest LPR isn't necessary, or best.
To reset the regs. check to make sure the Dwell is high enough. 8 is high enough.
Turn the front screw out so 3 or 4 threads show. Turn out the bottom reg so one or two threads show.
Air up the gun (put the bottle in and point the lever straight back) and air will release but bolt will still be loose.
Now, set the gun with almost no threads showing in the bottom of the front grip (the LPR). Looking at the gun from the front, you see just a little of the screw - most all the threads gone.
Next screw in the bottom reg until the gun shoots at the desired speed.
Now turn out the LPR until the ball speed drops - a lot. The gun stores a lot of air so take a couple of shots between turns or air can turn off completely and double feed balls.
OK. now you have the gun shooting, but not at full speed - almost there.
There is a range between full speed, and increased kick - a kind of a safety zone. A playable area.
Now note how much you have to turn the front screw in until the gun seems to shoot full speed, the start of the playable zone, and how much more until it become noticeably kicky.
Find the middle of that range. In the middle somewhere is where you want the gun.
Because most Rammer guns are so sensitive to LPR pressure, players have been taught to use the very lowest LPR setting. With the Deception you will get the best results by kind of stepping back and shooting 30 or so shots and finding where the the performance starts to drop off and where the kick starts.
Most all of what feels like kick is recoil form the ball leaving the barrel. That will be there no matter how low the LPR is set. Lowering the LPR just drops the ball speed. But a little higher LPR pressure adds consistency and improves shot quality. So again don't try to ride the line. Find the zone and set the gun somewhere in the middle of it. The Deception will be very smooth and very consistent.
After this you can try lowering the dwell until consistency or ball speed drops and then raise it until both are back.
Now don't adjust LPR or Dwell again - just change speed with bottle reg.
Tank Output Pressure
The gun doesn't like 850 input pressure
450 is good, but SLP tanks are definitely best.
If you have an 850 bottle (few players that have premium markers do) and check the owners manual to see how low the bottle's output can be set.
(about supporting higher output tanks) We'll look into it. A stronger spring should be all that is needed, but that takes away from consistency. The gun may need a separate spring and piston for 850 tanks.
