Meteor pump!

[zinger565]

Any updates on if or when trigger plates will be shipped?

[Jsistanich]

I wish I knew about these before they were sold out

[Jonnydread]

I'm sure they'll do another run. I seem to recall you could backorder them?

[Chuck E Ducky]

There are a few reposted here after the initial run.

[Jsistanich]

I didn’t notice that. Maybe I should give that a shot

[KMDPB]

I've got mine setup the way I want it, and how I envisioned when I bought it. Time to give it some funky ano!

[SoCal_Pumper]

Nice setup, where did you buy the stock class feed tube?

[KMDPB]

Thanks! The tube is from a phantom and the feedneck adapter I made.

Are you running the stock lowers?

I'm guessing the answer is no, but if you are - how are they with co2?

[KMDPB]

stock lowers, shoots good. Only getting 15-17 shots per 12g but have yet to do any tuning.

Anyone experimented with bolts? I don't have any Evo length, unfortunately. I'd like to upgrade as I've seen a couple people mention substantial velocity increases with just a bolt.

[Cdn_Cuda]

Nuts, evo length means my spare ID bolt won’t work.

[RAZRBAKK]

Cdn_Cuda my exact problem. Full length Trident up for sale soon lol.

[Toestr]

RAZRBAKK I might be interested in the Trident. Now I might have to find a 2k back block 🤦♂️

I tested a few bolts and hammers, stock valve and Laz valve.

The bolts with a front oring shot 20-30 FPS faster than the ones without. Very little difference between them, other than the sound. The ID trident was louder than the AKA for example.

With front oring:

• AKA Lightning
• ID trident

Without front oring:

• Meteor stock
• Belsales
• Shocktech

The stock bolt, valve and hammer feel great with the 2" spring I used, very smooth and a nice combo. I easily hit 300fps with the IVG flush and pressure at 250PSI. For the budget mined person and access to all day air, swap the main spring out for a ~6lbs/in spring and be happy. IF you want to squeeze every last drop of juice from the tank, get the Meteor bolt modded for the front oring, or use a front oring bolt, this gains you ~20fps and the Laz valve will gain you 80FPS or more.
I have a video I can upload if anyone is interested. I''ll follow up with some screenshots.

[RAZRBAKK]

Good to know. Got a link?

here are the two hammers I used:

• custom 20gram hammer + 2g lug
• stock 46g meteor hammer + 2g lug (kiss polish with 10k grit)

without touching the reg, and the IVG always flush with a set mark, reball with same barrel and tank. Only variables I changed was the hammer and valve.

Meteor valve, 20g hammer, 2" spring, IVG flush, 250PSI




Meteor valve, Meteor 46g hammer, 2" spring, IVG flush, 250PSI
I increased the weight of the hammer by 26g and gained ~100fps. F=MA works!


what about using a balanced valve?
Lazerous valve, 20g hammer, 2" spring, IVG flush, 250PSI
I did this test first, then swapped valves, and did the hammer test. 99FPS is a fairly large increase over the stock meteor valve with the same hammer - I want to retest or have peer review, just to make sure the valve wasn't doping.


aside: Clock 66 measures 10fps slower on average but both are consistent. Either the xradar is fast or the clock is slow.

[Myrkul]

Damn this makes the laz valve look good..what kind of pressures are we looking at with the stock heavy ass meteor hammer and the laz valve?

[latches109]

HPR was set to 250PSI, Powerhouse reg on the tank was set to 400PSI for all tests. I did not adjust the HPR. It does make a balance valve design look great from an efficiency perspective.

[RAZRBAKK]

I am going to try and recreate this to the best of my abilities.
