My last MTW hopup setup - M4W with the default orange M-nub, Madbull ’red’ flathopped bucking & 300 mm PDI with R-hop was tested today ’head 2 head’ against the new ALPHA chamber from Silent Industries. The ALPHA was paired with the Lambda FIVE stainless steel barrel, G&G ’green’ bucking and Maple Leaf Omega nub. The Inferno Gen2 engine was with the SI red nozzle in both setups and is working just fine with the M4W. Both setups are chronoed with hopup completely turned off.
With both hopups the MTW is at ~1.5 joules with a BLS bbs. The temperature is ~25° C, higher than usual humidity due to light rain at the beginning of the tests. Far from perfect conditions for a direct comparison of the two hopup setups, but... there will obviously be a sequel in a slightly better controlled environment :)...
