HPA beacuse it is a nice system. But if you buy that then you should get
a reg, but you don't need to. But if you're tight on money then just buy the ex- chamber. -------------

I suggest you buying HPA, compressed air is cleaner, much more stable, and personal I think is just all around better.
If you were to buy an expansion chamber now and later down the road wanted a regulator and or lp kit you would end up just selling the expansion chamber most likely selling it for less. Buy an hpa tank you will be much more happy in the end. http://www.pbgear.com - www.pbgear.com http://www.888paintball.com - www.888paintball.com http://www.countypaintball.com - www.countypaintball.com ------------- www.tippmannowners.com check me out there |

If you have 400 $ for lpk, reg and nitro bottle then go for it! But if you dont have 400$ then just get a dead on 8 stage! ------------- New Black Matrix. |

Stop telling him that he needs a regulator or LPK along with a HPA tank.
I HPA tank works just FINE without a reg or LPK. BTW, if you have the money, go for the HPA. You'll be better off in the long run. ------------- Watch your thoughts they become words Watch your words they become actions Watch your actions they become habits Watch your habits they become character Watch your character it becomes your destin |

If you have the money go with HPA.
If you can't afford to spend $200 for a 4500psi 68 C.I. Tank, then go with the expansion chamber. Rule of HPA: 3000psi multiply the Cubic Inches of the tank by 10 to get the approx number of shots. 4500psi mult the C.I. by 15. C.I./PSI Approx Shots 48/3000 480 48/4500 720 68/3000 680 68/4500 1020 88/3000 880 88/4500 1320 96/3000 960 96/4500 1440 110/3000 1100 110/4500 1650 ------------- Crusader Tippmann A-5 Flatline, Broomstick, and Snapshot E-Grip 68/4500 HPA VForce Morph face saver |
