What is an Expansion chamber and what does it do?

[martix_agent]

it provides extra space for co2 to expand before it enters your marker, causing less spikes in velocity because it's more difficult to get liquid co2 in your marker.

[Paintballguy12]

what do u mean by "spikes in velocity"?

[txaggie08]

He means your velocity will shoot up suddenly, then drop.

[TheAznInvazn]

If you get liquid CO2 in your gun, and it all of a sudden turns into a gas, your velocity will "spike" since all that liquid CO2 changed into a gas, causing higher velocities.

Dayum... You beat me to it Aggie

Do yall know about how long the battery will last on a VS1?

[TheAznInvazn]

Should be a good long time. At least a day with good batteries.

[martix_agent]

if liquid co2 enteres your marker it will expand and spike the velocity higher than it should normalyl fire. Teh idea is that co2 is supposed to expand inside the tank, it doesnt always and that's why they make the expansion chambers

[txaggie08]

We have several folks playing rec with VS1's, they last them the whole day no issues, and they usually shoot a case or so each.

[martix_agent]

they'r really nice if it's cold outside and you're wanting to shoot quickly. that's the onyl time i've experenced real problems with it.
