Yes gordo.. after you trashed AKA, let me send you my Excal!

[mostpeople]

Just so you can bash it harder than the POS viking you're holding right? I can hear it now, oh it has a slower rate of fire, harder to maintain! And those stupid tight tolerances.. plus who just uses oil? (Hell you'd probably crack the excal open and grease it for us!)

Christ almighty gerglmuff; in ALL of your old school gun tour video's you have NEVER - ONCE bashed the marker you were holding. Riddle me this, WHAT do you have against AKA? (And apparently AGD for that matter?)

We bashed on this particular video and the revenge V3 video in the AKA OT thread on PBN for about a page.
Most of us couldn't sit through more than half of the video. :crazy:

I plan to bring home a full 4500 fill tank tomorrow after I'm back from playing, and promptly plan to do a properly tuned Viking efficiency response video for his face palming pleasure..

Can't wait.. make sure you get a tank temperature after the fill, and a dial reading of the final psi on the camera as well if possible.

You know I really dont like that CP for some reason. I think its because of the arrogant, patronizing, smug attitude he prostrates.

and that is precisely why i hate him as well

this is my synopsis off PBN, pardon the language

as far as my critique of his video (which i really cant believe im watching. as i °°°°ing hate the guy)

hes right about the design, but i wouldnt dare use intimidator when comparing it. but it wasnt intended to be a mid level gun, cause they were only about 200 dollars cheaper than an excal, since when has 1000 been mid level?

he doesnt know what he is talking about with javelins

ive opened enough rams to know first hand that grease isnt used in the original assembly, now if HIS needs grease, well thats cause his o-rings are worn. comparing one gun to all of them is stupid.. but thats what he does.. which furthers why i think hes an °°°°°°°

the comment about tolerances.. oh where to begin..
#1 tighter tolerances make thing more expensive to produce. yup, why do you think they were selling vikings and excals for 1000-1200 dollars?
#2 why would you need tight tolerances if there's an o-ring? he as an engineer should know this one, because nothing on the gun is pipe threaded, therefore its not gonna seal itself naturally
#3 tolerances don't mean what you they do, to you, the consumer. i hate being talked down to, which is the primary reason why i hate Gordon, because from his original days on this site he has acted like he has known everything,
he must be lightheaded most of the time from his ego displacing all the oxygen in whatever room he happens to be in

people do get a case off a 68, ive seen it, ive done it, just because you've never seen a shark doesn't mean hes not there

he really needs to do some °°°°ing research before he opens his mouth.. oh, wait, that would make me respect him on some level..

i truly hope no-one sends him an excal, just on the principal of the fact hes ill-informed and people seem to listen to what he says because they dont know any better

i have never wanted to do a reply video before until now, and ill keep the uhhhhh's to a minimum

°°°° that guy

[knownothingmags]

what a fool.
i dont like his videos.

he comes off like a know all, when it comes to paintball.

[Dark Side]

This vid (more explicitly 1:45 that I was able to stand) sums up the reason that I hate engineers, because far more often (let's give a solid number of about 998 out of 1000) than not they have no real world experience to speak of. Standing behind "my math professor said it's true so it must be" get's real old real fast.

[abizdafuzz]

Easy now, I represent that stuff... as an engineer. He is a tool though, and one that needs beat.

[knownothingmags]

is there anything that actually makes him an expert on anything he says?

I have engineers in the family and I'm trying to knock out schooling for mine. My maintenance background is one where I can express dislike and uncertainty towards engineers and their decisions. I shouldn't do it in in such a broad way, but as I said; few have the experience (that I believe they should) to make the decisions the do. I'd like to beat the hell out of a great many of them for the difficulties they have put me and those like me through.

You didn't get your expert credentials from you ISP when you signed up for internet access? I thought everyone did.

[kill-n-spree]

I really enjoyed the review on the Viking. I thought it was the best video I have seen since goonies came out on vhs............................................... .................................................. .................................................. ............OK maybe not. I am screwing with you guys. As soon as I saw his stupid °°° video I immediately thought of the PB Legion guys.

[Gunhero5]

OK
I will probably have to tweek the efficiency video a bit. I only have about 3200 psi left, and not even a full case of paint after saturday. What about cutting it down to see how many rounds we can squeeze out of 2000 psi? From there doubling the amount 2k gave us for an estimate efficiency number for a 4k fill.

And how can I get a temp reading on the tank without a fancy point-and-gauge thermometer?

[Tracker]

umm we used an infrared thermometer, you can buy them at radio shack?

Tracker

[Gunhero5]

I was hoping for a cheaper alternative.
I don't plan on going to radio shack to spend money on one of those.

[mostpeople]

My recommendation would be to do it with a real fill, with 2000 paintballs, no estimates or approximations. Doesn't have to be done today, just make sure you do it right. :wthumpup:

[Cunha]

Infrared thermometers are like 10 bucks..if you want to measure temperature on a universal scale you are going to need a thermometer haha.

[TheePsycho]

If everyone wanted to they could just PayPal gift someone a couple of dollars. Then whomever that would like to undertake the challenge that already has an already proven efficient Viking. They could do the test as long as they have a video recorder.

I could only offer to the test on my Evil-M, but not until after LL5 where I plan on putting some cases through it.

[Chris]

I've got an IR thermometer, a couple spare cases of paint and a Viking with stock internals. Just need some air and the time to record it.

We're just down the road, Chris.
