Replace the x-chamber with a regulator and get a remote.

1) tape, i use it cause i dont want to scratch my barrel, and it lowers the glare of the barrel too. i'v been "Spotted" during a night game cause the moon light was shinging off my barrel.

2)reg would be nice, but i dont have any money. can someone tell me whats a good one, and then tell me whats a cheap one. i dont want to get the low comp. cause parts break under high rates of fire.

3) remote. i use a remote only when i play woods. but when i play speedball i hook up my Fat Ass tank to the gun cause the coil limits my flexibility with my gun.

with a tippmann... you don't need a reg as long as your tank is a high pressure output tank.  just take the x-chamber off, it's only hurting the air flow.

A Palmers stabalizer. Best there is for C02, and in the top 4 for HPA regs. Not much point in getting a cheap reg. Remember you get what you pay for.

A Palmer would be good...

Oh yeah BTW NICE GUN!

I really like the stock alot. And the electric tape on the flatline is pretty cool (I'm being serious).

All you cynical brats need to go home now, I think your momma's calling.

put an old black sock over the barrel and cut the toe part off because the tape looks tacky.  Well, not like an old sock covering a flatline wouldn't either, but i think it would just look cooler.  I like it, but you should get a smaller hose.........
