What should i do

Im currently experiencing a mental battle. Im not sure if i need a palmers regulator. Honestly when i chrono, my shots vary max 5-10 Fps from one another and i do not have a reg attached. I just use HPA. I dont think that spending 100 buks is worth a few less FPS deviation. I dont rlly care much for air efficiency either so i dont care if a reg will add more shots per fill. I dont have a problem refilling one extra time at the field.

IM thinking about just getting a rva and saving that money on the reg and play paintball 2 extra weekends:) What do you guys think.

What Bruce Said ^

Bruce A. Frank wrote: Odd, you said that you are getting excellent shot-to-shot consistency so you don't think you need a regulator and the next two post recomend you get a regulator.

Wait when I first read this thread cypher5601 what was said/asked was a bit different than what it says now. 

He asked if the Male Palmers Stabilizer would work in his A-5, and if not what else he needed to buy for it to work and he asked what we thought about the Palmers regs. He told us he had HPA that didn't seem to be working well.  I don't recall him giving as much info.  Didn't mention the FPS diffences he was receiving or anything like that. 

He changed what he wrote and now there is more info about his situation! With the added info we can help him make a better decision.  But with what was asked originally the first two posts were fine responses!

By the way Bruce, with the new information I now agree that he doesn't need one!

I'm going with everyone else on this. If you're only straying ~10 fps on your velocity, there's no need for a secondary regulator. I also agree with Black_Shadow in that if you want a secondary reg, but don't want to dish out $100, look into a CP reg. They make some of the nicest on the market. The RVA would be a good idea, so go with that and get out there and play!
