So I won this Autococker

5/10 fps variation is good on today's world of crap paint

WHen you say it doesn't keep up when you pull the trigger at 10-12 BPS, what exactly do you mean by that?

[dzslozt]

It doesn’t fully cycle and sounds like it doesn’t have enough pressure. As in, when I pull the trigger it sort of does a muffled air release and a slow or partial cycle. Taking it out this week to play with the pressure a bit. Input was about 800 psi. It’s also a new tank and I want to up the pressure to 850-900.

Are you hitting 10-12 bps over the chrono? That sounds really fast for a Trilly, but I don't shoot that fast so maybe just me.

You might just be short stroking it.... trilogies are not intended to be "fast"

[coyote]

That's most likely "short stroking" as has been diagnosed.

A Trilogy, like all autocockers, requires a complete trigger pull. The first part of the pull releases the sere and fires the marker. The trailing part of the pull actuates the three way to cycle the autococking system.

It's a common user error even among very seasoned autococker shooters.

Given I am pretty new to being an autococker owner, it’s probably all me. The way I am used to working a trigger definitely lends itself to bad habits on this marker.

On the flip side, those old Annihilation Kits would let you shoot as fast as you want. Also went under the name BPS Reflex. I had the opportunity to test fire one a long time ago. They’re silly fun to shoot.
