I haven't had a problem with the CD turret other than the barrel recoil occassionally sticking after sitting idle for awhile. After a few shots or a shot of silicone spray things work themselves out. As for the fps, I really don't know but I have no complaints there. It fires a flat trajectory shot out to at least 30 feet and I can launch a BB and hit the house across the street with it
and it can punch through a target printed on a piece of photo paper which is pretty much all I need or could ask for. The paintball experiences I spoke of were with a modified gun I bought from ThomasJohnMurphy from the RC Universe forum. Because of the rupture problems I had I have not tried them in the CD turret. If it weren't for the new system coming out I would have already ordered another turret for my #2 Tiger. Mine is over a year old now I believe, and I have found it very reliable. I know of no other tankers in my area, so when I got my first tank I was not looking for IR capability and was buying it as a plinker. I'm sure you know the disapointment that comes the first time you shoot a stock gun at something! I can truly say that the CD turret has greatly improved my enjoyment with this hobby, and added a bit more realism to the tank with it's features.Shelby, thank you for your kind words. I hope all the legal crap works itself out and thank you again for a great product. I hope that the new gun system works in the Matorro King Tiger as I see one in my near future!! I wish you could see the look on my nephew's face when he bring his Bulldog over for "Tank Days". The first time he hit me at about 10 feet I turned my turret and fired a shot and sent the tool box flying off the front of his tank! His face looked like the little girl in the commercial when the guy tells her "Well, you didn't say you wanted a real pony"! He's only ten, or he'd have one of yours for sure... I've caught him shooting his friends at very close range
so he's going to have to deal with a stock gun for awhile.!
