Is it a good idea to run nitro on my 98 w/out the low-pressure system. I heard it's possible but I was wondering on what you guys think.

Wrong forum, but it wont blow up your gun

If you have an HPA Tank (about 800 psi coming out of the tank 3000-5000 inside it) you can just hook it in, and shoot, it wont do anything bad, the internals are made to take that pressure.

I would recomend getting a LPK, an HPA Tank (68/45) and a low pressure regulator, to tune down that 800 psi to around 400. Bob Long Torpedos are nice, but Palmers are the best...and the most expensive.

A rep @ Tippmann told me that the gun runs on about 800psi...the Low Pressure kit just makes for better efficiency (more shots per tank) and a gentler thrust on the paintball.

A HPA tank will not blow up your gun...I've been using one for about 4 months...a reg is a nice feature and it's cheaper and easier to install than the LPR kit.

no buddy, u get a tank that has a high output for it to work with a low pressure kit, and if you get one of the low ones it will not blow up, it will sound like ure air is out and wont cock back.  know what u are sayin before u write it.
