Skout

Well I'm hoping that with the new skout comes other guns less expensive but much of the same tech. Maybe high tech air guns will get cheaper. 
i kind of doubt that as the paintball guns can get extremely expensive

Lower air pressures to achieve what the others need for one. That equates to less air being used to achieve more shots. simplicity when it comes to maintenance. Hunter

I have been reading all of the responses and reading other threads regarding the Epoch. Yes it is expensive, I get that. Yes it talks to you if you want, turn that off. We need to sit back and see if this is everything Scout has indicated. If it is, that's a Game Changer. Period! Others (Including the Big Boys) will copy there technology. I hope and think it will be.
Over the years (approx 45-47 years) I have owned and shot a lot of airguns ((100-110) I think we need to give them a chance. Will the Scout Epoch replace my FX's or Daysates? no. I hope it fills that gap that I personally have been searching for. Cheers, Hunter Roark

No. The electronic aspects of the Epoch primarily involve the control of the valve. Since the regulator is "balanced" at a particular pressure, precise adjustment of the duration of time that the valve is opened provides very exacting repeatabilty from shot to shot. So as long as the bottle pressure is higher than the high pressure regulator setting, there's no need for a chronograph to make pressure adjustments shot to shot.

That's basically how it works. However unlike the valving we're use to, this valve and its porting are many times larger so the valve only moves 1/50,000 of an inch.

I can. At 1100 to 1200 psi (76 to 80 bar) the .30 is shooting 44 gr. JSBs at around 910 fps.

Could the valve movement of 1/50000" be adjusted or is it fixed, if so what is the maximum +- ?
Upvote 0
It has 40 levels of adjustment called dwell. Each level changed the valves movement by 1/10,000 of a mm.

Dwell is the duration of time that a valve is held open, not the amount of movement (lift). Dwell is typically microseconds, not mm.

Lol....Well I fractionalized it incorrectly, yes. It should have said 50/1000 or .050 ( fifty thousandths). But if that's still too small for you, you'll need argue that with the engineer who designed it. Go to 3:50 of this video to hear it from his own lips.

I'd be interested in reading the manual that comes with it. Any chance someone could scan and upload?
