Check some reviews, a lot of crono's give different results than others, lol.

the one that is £40 I mentioned ealier doesnt have a name on the website so i cant really check review. However few people left review on their website and it seem to be good I have got some new gun so I just want to make sure they are under 330FPS before I bring them to a new site this month

The problem jag is trying to point out is that while the chrono you buy may say it's under the site limits, the site's own chrono may disagree and you won't be able to use your gun.

As he says, there is a lot of inaccuracy with the cheaper chronos, regardless of how people may give feedback. After all, they probably left the feedback a long time before taking the gun to a site.

There is a thread on another forum. The main jist of it is that madbull chronos are totally innaccurate, which is a problem cause alot of sites use them, mostly because they are small and cheap.

This being said, the whole point of a chrono is that it needs to be accurate. A 40 pound chrono is going to be totally useless.

The chrono which has referenced by the home office is the Skan, but this is quite expensive, and not very portable.

To sum up the quite large thread, the best chrono seems to be the Xcortech as it seems to be the most consistent. Its 82 dollars on a hk website, which is pretty good really, after shipping thats like 60 quid at most.

I know you're on a budget, but skimping out due to like 20 quid is kinda stupid if your cheap chrono gives you wrong results, which could cause you and others pain in the future!

Cheers.


edit

Chrono's at sites does seem to be a problem. Ideally sites would use a skan, but due to cost and size most opt for stuff like madbulls, which as said seem to be totally ass. This is a problem for both the players (you'll have hot guns) and the site (insurance etc etc) I think this is a bigger issue then it appears currently. Cheers.

Uhm.....I seen that Xcortech which you have mentioned. I am thinking of getting this as I found one for £60 included shipping. Also is it x3200 series?

This is why most sites allow for +or- 5% on the chrono speeds

Yes, but imagine, they allow 328fps and a leeway of 5%. That's already 344fps. Then imagine that's done on a Madbull and it reads 30fps lower than it should (which has happened on the thread in question). That means someone could be running around shooting people with an AEG running 374fps and he thinks it's perfectly fine

Plus, not all sites allow for any tolerance, as they have a higher limit. The site I play at normally has an absolute maximum of 350fps and 1fps over will put your gun out of the game.

sorry but there is a uk based company that makes and sells excellent chronos for £35+i think it was £2 for postage. you can set it to different weights of bb so you still get the same reading for a .2 if your using a .3

Yeah, x3200.

As fizzy said, some of the readings reported by madbull chrono are just ridiculous. Sites that use them are putting thier players in hazard, long story short.

Re: What is cheapest airsoft chronograph available on the market?

I found one from a uk chap on a certain internet auction site for 55 pound with a 99.7% trader feedback, may be worth a go.
