I don't have an exact one to sacrifice, but I'll be near "the shack", today, they got some 4700uf, 36v caps that are about the same size, one of those should go off just as good. now I really want to pop one, just to see how loud it will be. When they say 16v, they mean 16v, not 16.5, or anything even slightly higher, not even for just a second, 16v, is 16v! the capacitor is only rated for 16v, and it's a big one, you really don't want to pop that cap, it'll likely go off like an M-80! I have popped more than my fair share of capacitors, take my word for this one, don't go there. Supposedly it is illegal for them too, I don't know but that's what I was told. I don't deal with the factory myself but my supplier has a good relationship with them and they told me that unfortunately Baikal won't ship spare parts by themselves. Would love to get my hands on just the BB mag if possible!! -cam I recently installed Sergey's new circuit board and it has the power jack for the Black Bird mag. YAH!, I'd like to know the answer to that question also. If so, can you order parts from them, such as the board, mag, etc.? You get your Blackbirds direct from Baikal? I wouldn't run a BB at voltages higher then around 16v. The solenoid should be adjusted or at least inspected. With 1600 psi you should be able to get the valve to fully open at around 16v.
Re: 19.5v Blackbird 1600psi 23" Tactical Rifle Barrel 922 fps I wonder if the gun will be able to handle this kind of voltage forever or will it eventually burn up the board.
I am not sure but I might be able to adjust the solenoid better too. With the gun on 3 round burst I shot across the chronograph 10 times with a high of 922 and a low of 896. If I would have measured the batteries on a multi meter I am sure it would have measured 20+ volts. I added one more xeno for a total of 5 xeno's and 1 energizer lithium and a total of 19.5 volts. Now I have used 1600 psi before so I knew there was more power to be had, the valve still wasn't opening enough. So I decided to use another xeno and sure enough without any other adjustment the fps jumped up to 800. With 1600 psi output reg I was not able to get the gun to fire very hard using the standard 3 xeno 3 energizer combo. I am building a blackbird for a customer and this particular gun is from a fresh shipment into the country with a manufacture date of July 2010. 19.5v Blackbird 1600psi 23" Tactical Rifle Barrel 922 fps 19.5v Blackbird 1600psi 23" Tactical Rifle Barrel 922 fpsġ9.5v Blackbird 1600psi 23" Tactical Rifle Barrel 922 fps
