Hitcalls4tw Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi all, I'm considering a UK version of both the mk2 trident and LVOA-S, (but would welcome other suggestions from experienced players) My question is; is the LVOA-S going to provide better range and/or accuracy (most important factor for me) when both straight out of the box? Also, what upgrades would you recommend to improve range/accuracy for a £100 budget? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveocee Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Nope. They are more or less the same RIF just cosmetically packaged differently. You can with some work DMR'ify that platform with really good results but you're not looking at £100 of upgrades. Honest advice....don't waste £100 side grading parts on an already expensive and well performing weapon. Buy yourself some quality BB's and have a few good days out on it.

Hitcalls4tw Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 Thank you mate, much appreciated. Is it not even worth changing the barrel from a 6.05 to a 6.03? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Adolf Hamster Posted June 30, 2019 Supporters Share Posted June 30, 2019 E21 is spot on, drop some good heavy ammo in there and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitcalls4tw Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 So are we talking good quality 2.5, 2.8 or even higher? How will this affect fps? Thanks for the info guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info guys! doesn't matter about fps, the actual fps number will be lower, but the energy will be the same. heavier ammo travels slower, which means less drag, means it takes longer to slow down so it holds it's velocity and energy for longer meaning the magnus force (the spin from your hop) can keep it lifted so it travels further and hits harder at range than a lighter bb fired with the same energy. i'd try some geoff's .3's in there, see how those work out.

ShaqMan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 On a gun with around 350fps how would this affect the Joule rating I know many sites obide to being at a 1.2 Joule limit wouldn't using a .28 push it over the threshold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comes back to the same question you asked earlier. The muzzle energy stays the same, the muzzle velocity decreases as the BB weight increases. Site limits that state 350 FPS are measured with a 0.2G BB. If you then put a 0.28g BB IN THE SAME GUN you will have the same muzzle energy (1.13J) but your muzzle velocity would drop to 295 FPS.
