Theoben Rapid Forum

I am happy with my Raw but as an engineer am always thinking what if ?
So my gun is no different to the basic rapid in terms of function hammer ,reg valve ect Al very similar, my gun has a quick fill and a gauge factory fitted .
So here is the question .
Many guns especially those from Agt don't have a cylinder valve ,
If my cylinder valve and reg were removed , yes I know 1/4 bsp to m18 x 1.5 with the section for the quick fill ,
A would the valve and block tolerate cylinder pressure,I assume it would as the 357 raw has no reg
B would the power curve be horrible
C has anyone done it
Yes the gun is fac and I have just ordered a 700 cc carbon cylinder

you mean...what if I fast flow my RAW ?

a) will probably take 250bar.. but in that lies the answer to question B
b) it would probably have a horrible power curve at 250bar.
c) no (why?)
