If you are switching to hpa, would an expansion chamber still help? i
hear it definaylu helps alot with CO2 powered guns but whats the word
on hpa? would it make a positive difference? is it a waste of money? (its ona tippmann A-5 if that makes any difference) ------------- Light Em' Up |

An expansion chamber will not improve your performance while using HPA. Xchambers are designed to let co2 expand from its liquid state into the gaseous form. Since HPA is stored as a gas, an expansion chamber is useless. -------------

It doesnt do anything with HPA. It actualy may hurt performance. When I swithed to HPA I had an X-Core 8-Stage. It restriced my airflow alot. My gun would shootdown incredibly, and loose pressure easily. So I took it off and sold it. If you have a chamber more than 6-stages, you will probaly get problems. -------------

| It would act like a gas through grip and most likely give bad performance. |
