An xchamber helps with the co2 spikes that occur. Like if you chrono a gun, it might be say, 250, then 220 then maybe 260. The xchamber stabilizes it and makes it more consistent. I have one and I love it. It makes your co2 last a bit longer and helps with accuracy as well.

Yes, it does. And say more consistent, not even ( makes you sound smarter
 ).

A Palmers stabilizer will do a lot more for your C02 in terms of
stabilizing it and keeping each shot consistent with the last. It's a
little more expensive then an X-Chamber but you get what you pay for.

^^What? An X-chamber for $50? I don't know where you get your prices from, but on County you can get the DOP X-Core for $20 (which is one of the best out there).

If I said it was a lot more, the chances of him even looking into it would be smaller. |

Go for the x-chamber....my advice to you is first get the GTA Inline x-chamber kit, cuz it comes with everything you need, VA, Hose, X-chamber, it isn't too bad of a x-chamber to start out with.....Then get the Dead on 8 Stage x-chamber, later on

I presume you are shooting CO2 - keep in mind that an x-chamber does no good at all if you have nitro. So if you plan on going nitro at some point, a Stabilizer is a better bet, as it works well with both CO2 and nitro.

Best x-chambers on the market are ACI 4-stages and 6-stages. DOP X-cores too.

It should but with an X-Chamber you'll still get chrono readings rangin
from 267 254 287. I know that because I have an 8 stage x-core. You'll
be much better off getting a stabilizer. That will keep your readings
around 280 282 281.
If money is an issue, definately go with an Xchamber. |

^^Sorry, but with an X-Chamber I believe it will still do this. See, what happens is the pressure in the Co2 tank drops, which in turn causes the length of the shots to decrease. |
