What should i get, an expansion chamber or a regulator? I heard a regulator is only if you have nitro, but my bro and his friends have them and their guns save air, so i was wondering which one i should get. ------------- A-5 Flatline Remote Red Dot scope |

a reg is a much better investment because it make your gun more accurate. dont get an x chamber

thanx thats all i needed to hear really, cause i dont know much about them except regs are more expensive and i thought it was cause they are better, and well i am guessing you know what you are talking about, so i will go and get one, now only one problem, which one to get, my bro has a black magic reg and it is working good for him but it is $90 and i dont know if i can afford that. ------------- A-5 Flatline Remote Red Dot scope |

If you buy a Regulator you might blow the guage with C02, and if your running c02 get the Expansion Chamber, You'll have more Consitant Shots. Regs dont make your gun more accurate it just Helps you with Consistancey, and makes your n2 last a bit longer. -------------

dont get the black magic reg unless ur using HPA not CO2. like paintball panda said, it could blow the gauges and freeze up the reg. an expansion chamber is hollow inside (usually) and gives the CO2 room to expand so ur not shooting snow. regs are full of springs and o-rings that arent really made for CO2. if u want a good reg for CO2 then get the palmers staballizer. also if u bought an expansion chamber and then decided to upgrade to HPA then it will be a waste of money because expansion chambers do nothing for HPA and sometimes hinder the performance. palmers staballizers are meant for HPA or CO2. -------------

Palmer Stabilizer (x-chamber/regulator for CO2 or HPA) here: http://www.palmer-pursuit.com - http://www.palmer-pursuit.com Yes, they're expensive. If you don't have the budget for one, just go x-chamber. An x-chamber is good enough. ------------- A-5 E-grip Chipley Custom Carbon Graphite 16" Evil Adapter(Spyder) 32 Deg New '03 XChamber Remote Line Gun Sling Sniper f/x Stock LPK 68/4500 HPA R-5 CP Reg JCS Duel Trigger |

exactually. if your gonna stay with co2. get a x-chamber. if your gonna get hpa tank. get a reg. that simple if u get a x-chamber get a x-core ------------- life sucks, then u die ------------------- 98c 12oz,20oz 12" Lapco Bigshot polished internals, along with every other homemade mod you can think of soon- x-core chamber, and rocket cock 2 |

I was thinking about getting a Dye Hyper inline2 reg. do I really need to get the GTA low pressure kit before I install it? The only diff I see in it is that it puts an extra chaber in the line that appears to work like a X-chamber. Is it really neccissary?

| Easy... Regulator, It makes your shot more consistant (increasing accuracy) exp. chamber only takes out liquid, which so does the anti-siphon, except the anti-siphon is cheaper and does the job better. Get reg and anti-siphon. |

i agree. if you have the money get a palmers. dont get a reg unless your gonna ge switching to comp air. with c02 you have to clean your reg all the time and its not good an them. x chambers work just as good for c02 as any reg will. |
