    HPA beacuse it is a nice system. But if you buy that then you should get
a reg, but you don't need to. But if you're tight on money then just buy
the ex- chamber.

I suggest you buying HPA, compressed air is cleaner, much more stable, and personal I think is just all around better.
If you were to buy an expansion chamber now and later down the road wanted a regulator and or lp kit you would end up just selling the expansion chamber most likely selling it for less. Buy an hpa tank you will be much more happy in the end.

If you have 400 $ for lpk, reg and nitro bottle then go for it! But if you dont have 400$ then just get a dead on 8 stage!

Add it up

You really only need a nitro tank and a reg for now.

Stop telling him that he needs a regulator or LPK along with a HPA tank.

I HPA tank works just FINE without a reg or LPK.


BTW, if you have the money, go for the HPA. You'll be better off in the long run.

If you have the money go with HPA.

If you can't afford to spend $200 for a 4500psi 68 C.I. Tank, then go with the expansion chamber.

Rule of HPA:

3000psi multiply the Cubic Inches of the tank by 10 to get the approx number of shots.

4500psi mult the C.I. by 15.


C.I./PSI   Approx Shots

48/3000    480
48/4500    720
68/3000    680
68/4500   1020
88/3000    880
88/4500   1320
96/3000    960
96/4500   1440
110/3000 1100
110/4500 1650
