Eigenbolt by Lurker Paintball

Talk about it here!

Quote:

Features:
Delrin construction for reduced recoil and decreased friction
Antichop feature exerts only 25% as much force on the ball as the original bolt design
Improved soft face design for the handling of brittle paint.
Improved air path and bolt-to-poppet timing to aid tuning for efficiency.

Principally aimed at the tournament player, the Mini Eigenbolt has brittle paint handling as it's main goal. The mini, lacking an LPR, is quite rough on paint stock due to its high pressures and bolt design. We look to mitigate the forces that may cause barrel breaks and chops, and thrust the mini into the world of high end markers in terms of its ability to shoot tournament grade paints.
Price: $35

High pressures? They consider 200 psi to be high pressure?

What pressure does a Luxe or Angel or other " high end" marker operate on?

I know MacDev's shoot at 80-100 psi so I know there are others that are really low pressure. But I am still not convinced about buying a bolt until I see someone buy one that does as promised.

Hello Lurker,

Is there any, any, any way you can explain (in plain clear english) how this bolt design actually works; maybe a schematic, or a blow-by-blow step-by-step-through?

I have a b.s. in engineering but for some reason I am not getting it even after repeated attempts.
The easiest thing for me to do is post a video next weekend if you can wait that long.

[Start Lurker post/]
if you think of the mini bolt guide, at the very base of it, there is a bumper o-ring. This is removed. You then slider on our spacer, which looks like a large washer and has a captured seal that snaps into place in the bumper o-ring groove. The INTERIOR of the back of the bolt has been bored out (only the front o-ring remains on the bolt) and the thin rim that is left seals on an o-ring on the outside of the spacer (which acts as a thicker bolt guide).

So, the net effect is that for the first 0.25" or so you have 1/4 of the original bolt force - a gun running at 200psi feels to the paint like it is running at 50psi, and so on.

Angel's are the only guns i know of that run LP. I always thought the Mini Set the bar with it running at 200 on a HP tank.

**G-FOURce** · #6 September 11th, 2009, 02:19 PM

when you say LP, kill, do you mean at pressures < 100psi? i belive BL guns run at about 75psi, right?

and i am from the Tippmann school, so 400psi is LP to me! anything < 100psi is running uber-LP...

Oh Yeah! sorry my bad. well not to get back on topic but this new bolt how does it compare to these other bolts on the market now, besides the design and when i go to the linked website on PBN there is no picture.

It can't be compared as the bolt is not in production yet. Read through the thread on the Nation.

i think the reg bolt is fine..jm2c

The ANgels I believe are the only markers that run on LP tanks only. Other markers you can use a LP or HP tank.
