98 Low Pressure Kit

Johnny

Also, and sorry if this is a dumb question but is it possible to have both the Low pressure kit and the Expansion Camber on the 98 at the same time? and would there be a point? and lastly, if I put a Low pressure kit on my 98 am I stuck having to use HPA/N2 or can i still use Co2 safely even with the LP kit on and not have it damage anything? or would I have to take the LP kit off to use Co2 again? Thanks for any help. Its greatly appreciated.

I have not owned an LP kit, but every post and/or reveiw that I have ever seen, essentially said it isnt worth it. It's going to cost $100+  for the kit and/or replacement parts to convert it.  Unless you don't have access to air fills because you are playing renegade ball in your neighbors woods, it simply isnt worth the investment IMO. You would be better off just buying an additional tank. If you are concerned about running out of air during a game at a commercial field, you are shooting WAY TOO MUCH. Just make sure you top it off before each game.

 

As far as accuracy, as mentioned probably 1000 times on this forum.. best accuracy is gotten from good paint to bore match. Buy a barrel kit. However, consistent propellant pressure will also aid in accuracy as the shot to shot FPS will be more consistent, thus putting the balls closer to ball on ball, thus making it more accurate. This is best acheived through upgrading to HPA, as the out put pressure it better regulated due to the more stable nature of HPA over CO2. If you want even better conistency, looking into putting an additional regulator betwee the air source and the valve. This will allow you to better control the input into the marker and you can adjust lower until you get a pressure that operates the marker. However, if you are running an RT trigger, this can work to your disadvantage as the RT AND Cyclone both operate on excess air/gas vented or blown back from the valve. Increasing the efficiency usually involves reducing the blowback, thus reducing the ability for either of these to work. By the time you reduce the pressure enough to be more efficient, you may make both inoperable. In other words, you would really have to fine tune it and fiddle around to figure out the happy medium between efficiency and starvation. However, if you run the regulator high enough to continue getting both to work, you would still have better consistency, as the additional regulator would insure this. So better consistency would help in your accuracy. Palmers makes good regulators that should work in your application.
