hey guys, i need some opinions. im playin against guy with timmys, shockers, angels, and everyother gun that costs over 1000 bucks on the market and im smokin em with my a-5. the only problem is, im shooting maybe 300-500 balls a game (egrip is happy) and im runnin out of air (field only fills to an average of 2k) i was wondering if the low pressure system would be worth buying. im not really a fan of the way it looks but if it can make a huge diffrence than i might get it. what are some advataged that those of u with low pressure systems notice about it? if u could let me know that would be great. Thanks ------------- Tankdude |

First, congrats on smokin those "fancy gun" toters! As for your LPK question, I would have to believe that running at a lower pressure would get you more shots per fill. At least according to Tippmann.
Dunno about your second question. Wouldn't you want to use the LP Stab? |

i didnt think u could run a a-5 at low pressure with the cyclone. i didnt think enought air would run to it or am i wrong and u can get a low presure reg? ------------- Tankdude |

ok dude......yes u can get a lpk....but that does not mean that you will get more shots out of your tank (at least not a significant amount). It means less recoil and better consistancy While shooting at a lower psi the lpk makes the valve open twice as long....so you really are using the same amount of air. ------------- Setup a-5, LPK, Macroline, 14 Lapco Bigshot, Dead on Drop, Palmers Stab, double trig, 68CI Crossfire 4500 Backup: 98C, GTA Expansion chamber, Fullboar Rear Cocking, 12oz Co2, 32 Ice Cold Barrel |

More shots out of your tank, less recoil(better accuracy) and it quiets your gun alot. ------------- A-5 E-Grip JCS Dual Trigger DOP X-CORE 8 stage x-chamber Lapco Bigshot 14" Beadblasted Optional setup: R/T Dead on Blade trigger |
