Re: Shooters vs Arms

I think the biggest con with shooters will be air usage (assuming most are using pneumatics). Ours has 2x 2" and 2x 1.5" by 10" cylinders. After a launch our air tanks loss a lot of air, but can still operate at 50+ psi. 1726 has has provided some great advice on air conservation in a couple threads. As long as teams can keep air in their tanks (and a little in the cylinders ) Shooters will dominate the field.

side note: even if some teams have air problems, strategy could compensate for their recharge time.
