as the title says, i have an e-bolt and a LPK on my 98 custom. i searched
and didnt find anything. i know my gun is using way too much air when it
goes through 1500 PSI in less than 500 shots. what settings do my
regulators need to be on? and before you say it, i dont have the manuals for
it.

Set the volocity screw to about halfway in its threads, then use your regulator to set the velocity close to where you want it. Then, use the velocity screw to fine-tune it.

Those numbers really aren't that far from the norm on a Tippmann, but using this rule should help out.

With my E-Bolt+LPK setup at 225 PSI, I can only get 700 shots out of a 72
cu, 3000 PSI tank. I have the velocity screw all the way out and use the regs
for fine tuning of the velocity. The efficiency just sucks.
