| i know that a low pressure tank uses less air and what not but the automag that im looking at requires 800-850 psi....... is high pressure good? does it use more air? is it harder on paintballs? any input would be good |

No it's not personal pref. A LP tank uses the same amount of air it's
the out put of the tanks that's diffrent you can always get a High
pressure tank and lower it but a LP tank must be used on a LP marker.
You WIIL NEED a High Pressure tank that puts out 800-850psi. Good Luck! ------------- Cp critical Bob Long Lengens painball park Team Rendition |

Yeah only use LP tanks for Angels bcuz their regs can't lower the HP tanks very well, and other LP guns are fine with HP tanks. ------------- yay do i win? |

man i remember i made a 5 page document about low pressure because i had seen a bunch of posts about people listing low pressure as a reason to get one gun over another and i just got so perturbed i starting explaining every detail on differences between guns and how they really dont make any difference at all with proof on all of them, then a couple hours later when i finished i deleted it because i realized that only 3 people would read it who accually need to read it (just like the great guns sticky in the what gun is best forum...) um yeah... anyway low pressure/high pressure makes no difference, get a high pressure tank because those work on all guns while low pressure only works on a select few (read: high end guns mostly), and operating pressure does not affect how a ball flies in the air, or any other random idea people think of ------------- "They were convicted in federal court of pennsylvania for a telemarketing scam involving invention and patent fraud." |
