wouldnt having a regulator with C02 have the same effect as having hpa? im not sure if this is true but i thought i heard tthat sum where.  so would u recommend getting a palmer stabilizer or hpa.

Well... not really.  Liquid CO2 at room temperature puts out 850 psi of pressure, so it's "self-regulating" - you don't need a regulator.  You only need a CO2 regulator (aka stabilizer) if you're dropping your pressure down to the low-pressure range (if you're using a Low Pressure kit, for example).  Some people use the Palmer Stabilizer at the regular High Pressure range to "stabilize" the CO2 (somehow the stabilizer helps prevent liquid from getting past the stabilizer... when liquid gets past, you get velocity spikes, etc...)

It lets you be more accurate, more shots per tank, makes your gun more efficient, gun not freeze like at all.

Where did this "fact" come from?
