I will get to doing the chrono tomorrow after I wake up after work tonight, still at my partners place spending time with our kids
But no @bme I ain’t scurred

The description says “coming soon”, so you could say it’s an upcoming product and deserves a place in this thread.
Who would actually buy it, or even believe in it’s existence, is quite another. I had to check it wasn’t April Fool’s day when I first saw it.
But, if you believe in the A-mag and the X-Gel, well here’s another thing to add to your wish list
Yet the reviews on that page are for the other “mechanical” sorter they’re saying isn’t good enough .
Honestly who would need something that advanced just to have have consistent gel sizes… Let alone pay $200 for it.
If you’re dropping that kind of money on that small of an issue you have much bigger problems in your life, sorry not sorry.
I mean, i can see the use of that but come on, thats about 100 or so in rasberry pi parts and some code with a fancy housing.
Coming from an aerospace QC background in digital measurement using photogrammetry, digital 3D theodolites, laser alignment scopes and co-ordinate measuring machines using digital probes, all I can say about this is…
We all know minor size variation will affect velocity… but seeing as how that’s something you can only pick up through a chrono and not with the naked eye in gameplay, you have to ask yourself, does it really matter enough to send $200 on this?
Aztech needs to stop making claims with no working product.
Like the a-mag, which I have always said from the first announcement won’t work as expected and will be a disaster for them… gels aren’t consistent and hard enough for that too work… and no need for them.
Then…
Xgels coming soon! They claim their xgels are going to be the most consistent hardest most perfect gel ever… They have never made gels and they are going to do it better right out of the gate… bold claim- but almost like they need their gels for their a-mags to work
Then they make an expensive sorter… Am I the only one with alarm bells going off here?
So I guess now it will be “the most consistent gels ever”
then in quieter quickly spoken voice…
“gels only consistent when sorted with aztech’s expensive vision sorter”
more likely to exist than the a-mag I guess.
Airsoft bb’s…consistent weight, and size to .01mm …
Gels… Measure it with a micrometer, mark it with chalk, cut it with a chainsaw…!!!
But, that micrometer’s super accurate…!!
I like how you need a “gel of known size” to calibrate that sorter. You’d think they’d provide hard balls of a standard diameter and roundness to use as a calibration master.
Talk about introducing error and tolerance build up.
What is this A-mag which you speak of?
Exactly!
Probly enough characters
And what ever happens to that weird magnet/solenoid engine thing they were working on from like 2 or so years ago that was supposed to revolutionize blasters?
They come up with all the amazing “ideas” but have yet to be able to produce anything that close to what they claim…
Hang on a minute, I was a CMMC operator for 2 years. I’m sure I could get that jack in the box down to 0.001mm unless the air failed again and dropped the probe on the table which is a thousand dollar probe that just went bye bye
Jesus what are they smoking up there
So if I put my glasses on is my vision sorted then or what. Wanna be for $200 bucks
I’ll stick to what I’ve done thanks as can’t afford that, buy two blasters instead. Or 3 or 4 and more.
Hey, at least you got to work in a climate controlled environment most of the time.
We had to do all our digital measurement out on the assembly floor… constantly reshooting scale bars with digital theodolites to recalibrate the system due to Melbourne’s famous frickin’ temperature swings.
But we used to be able to hold a 777 rudder hingeline to a gunbarrel +/- 0.002" over a 45 foot jigbase. When rudders we built went back to Boeing USA for tailplane fitment the hingepins would just fall in with a hand tap. The locally made ones by the Seppos needed belting in with a dirty great mash hammer.
I did too was air con, didn’t really like it, had hot head directors barging in whens this getting done when that getting done.
Mate it takes 2 hours to setup for a Toyota OEM passenger car wheel I’ve set it and calibrated it and part way through all the calculations and checking against the OEM drawing that what we were making was in spec that took around 14hrs.
You just cut overtime so I can only do 7.6hrs per day and you want me to break down this job for some shitty aftermarket wheel that looks like shit anyway. How about you rack off. Then my direct boss would come in, how long, do you think you could put that other shit straight up after. No worries boss I’ll get cracking.
X-force got in the kids Thompson
Ooooh… haven’t seen these before…
Niether have I. Interesting, looks similar to the T238
I just haven’t figured out to post any questions on the site, I recently purchased a gel blaster rifle from LKCJ for $179, the build is pretty decent, I watered the soft to the recommended size however the magazine keeps clogging up (see photo) I spend more time cleaning it out than shooting, any diagnosis or suggestions are appreciated.
Welcome to the forum!
The feedwheel shouldn’t be mashing gels like a mincing machine like that. Check it for sharp mould lines or anything that might be cutting your gels.
Another possibility is the above combined with a stuck gel retainer at the top of the feedtube. Check it for free movement.
But it’s more likely going to be the gels you’re using. If they’re the ones that came with your blaster they will be soft and of questionable quality. They may be too soft, too large to fit into the mag feedtube or just plain shite.
Grow some harder, better quality gels like AKAs or Ultra Elites and see if that solves your problem.
Welcome to gel blasters… where the fun of sorting out poor manufacturing practices never stops.
