Does anyone have an idea of the loads you put on a rubber when loading the gun? From some of the information I've seen on the net in several places (probably copied from the same source), the loads quoted were:
9/16 in (14 mm) 80 pounds force = 359 N or 36.3 kg
5/8 in (16 mm) 100 pounds force = 445 N or 45.34 kg
This was the total load on the rubber ie. both sides.
I once measure the mass required to load my gun and worked it out as 70 kg. The numbers quoted above seem a bit on the light side.
Ideally I'd like to get the values for the 14, 16, and 19 mm rubbers. Seems to me that the main thing that determines the load is the spearo, especially if the rubber length is adjustable.
