No, just use a high output tank. Fire stations or scuba shops can test tanks. If you have a scuba tank and a filling station, it's easy.

HPA tanks come with three types of output regulators that are on the tank: high-pressure, low-pressure, and adjustable. Stock Tippmanns without the low pressure kit (like your guns) use a high-pressure output tank. These tanks have RED regulators on them, so make sure when you buy the tank that you purchase a high-pressure output tank with a red regulator. Don't get an adjustable, you don't need it.

Tippmanns need ~800 psi to operate, with is a high pressure output.
If you have a LPK, you can use a HP (high) or LP (low) tank. |

Not true in all cases. Only Crossfire uses Red regulators to signify that its high pressure. and blue is low pressure. Pure Energy tanks are way different. |

it is not a matter of changing the marker, only tanks, I use HPA on my A-5 with or without a remote line and CO2 on the 98c. Tanks are pretty well marked if buying new, you can always ask the sales folks if you are unsure. I spent a large amount of time asking the very same question/until I understood and got it :) It is a great starter question, thank you for asking :) fyi - a remote line is a device that goes from the tank to the marker, so the tank is not 'physically' screwed into the marker's gas inlet link:http://www.tippmann.com/product_guide/accesDetails.aspx ?id=42 Edited by new 2006 - 02 September 2007 at 2:17pm |
