    EDIT: Decay = 0.378, DPP unamped = 2.875 (Entropedia updated)


    I wonder if anyone might be willing to more accurately test the decay on the PBP-32 (L)?

    According to Entropedia, the decay is 0.363/shot, however I believe this is incorrect. Last night, I used a PBP-32 (L) with a Beast attached. According to Entropia Tracker, I fired 1348 shots total. I realize ET is not always 100% accurate, but the number of shots was confirmed by the decay on my beast (without fruit-testing, it calculated to 1347.84 shots). However, the PBP-32 (L) decayed 5.1ped (again, did not fruit-test) If we assumed 5.1ped decay for 1348 shots, that is 0.3783/shot, which means the decay on Entropedia is wrong, which obviously means the eco is reporting higher than it really is.

    Now, I don't mind fruit-testing to get an accurate decay number, but I don't have a PBP-32(L) to do it with right now and it will be a couple weeks or more before I can get around to doing it. I wanted to: 1) Let people know the eco is likely lower than Entropedia reports, and 2) Give someone the chance to correct this now instead of waiting a few weeks until I can do it.

    Had an opportunity to test it today after all. Three tests - each time the decay calculated to 0.378 using the fruit-test (well, I used Nova, but whatever). Updated Entropedia to correct info. Looking at the history of changes, there were two separate decay tests in July 2013 that calculated 0.592, so the decay has definitely changed since then. I'm not sure if the change in January this year was just wrong or if it has changed twice, but I'm guessing it was wrong.
