Right now i have a 98c with tha low pressure system and a 45/45 PMI high pressure tank im wonderin if i should get a low pressure tank but i read b4 that with tha regulator u can turn the psi down and im thinkin bout gettin an ANS GX-4 soon so will tha high pressure tank work with that? n will it work as well/better?

sorry i dont know much about HPA n everything i just upgraded to nitrogen last week

If you have a high output tank and lpk you just need a reg so you can turn the psi down before it enters your gun! I would say the bob long torpedo reg would be best for the job!

With a Tippmann marker and a low pressure kit, you will always want to get the high pressure tank.

It is recommended that your tank output about 200 more PSI then what the operating pressure of your marker is. Even with a low pressure kit, the lowest you can go is about 300 PSI. Low pressure tanks are at the 400-450 range.

The reason why you want 200 PSI more pressure then the operating pressure of your marker, is because any lower and you run the risk of shoot down or starving your marker of gas.
