| An xchamber helps with the co2 spikes that occur. Like if you chrono a gun, it might be say, 250, then 220 then maybe 260. The xchamber stabilizes it and makes it more consistent. I have one and I love it. It makes your co2 last a bit longer and helps with accuracy as well. |

Yes, it does. And say more consistent, not even ( makes you sound smarter  ).

A Palmers stabilizer will do a lot more for your C02 in terms of
stabilizing it and keeping each shot consistent with the last. It's a
little more expensive then an X-Chamber but you get what you pay for.

| ^^What? An X-chamber for $50? I don't know where you get your prices from, but on County you can get the DOP X-Core for $20 (which is one of the best out there). |

If I said it was a lot more, the chances of him even looking into it would be smaller. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

Go for the x-chamber....my advice to you is first get the GTA Inline x-chamber kit, cuz it comes with everything you need, VA, Hose, X-chamber, it isn't too bad of a x-chamber to start out with.....Then get the Dead on 8 Stage x-chamber, later on ------------- Setup: Tippmann Custom Pro E-trigger 12" All American BT Folding Stock GTA Inline Expansion Chamber Kit Dead on Pro seal Cyclone Feed System Remote Line Polished internals |

I presume you are shooting CO2 - keep in mind that an x-chamber does no good at all if you have nitro. So if you plan on going nitro at some point, a Stabilizer is a better bet, as it works well with both CO2 and nitro. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

Best x-chambers on the market are ACI 4-stages and 6-stages. DOP X-cores too. ------------- MIDN 2/C, US Navy LCE-SpyderMag | G-Force Pneumatic Mag | '99 RF Sniper II |

It should but with an X-Chamber you'll still get chrono readings rangin
from 267 254 287. I know that because I have an 8 stage x-core. You'll
be much better off getting a stabilizer. That will keep your readings
around 280 282 281. If money is an issue, definately go with an Xchamber. ------------- http://imageshack.us">

^^Sorry, but with an X-Chamber I believe it will still do this. See, what happens is the pressure in the Co2 tank drops, which in turn causes the length of the shots to decrease. ------------- http://www.macdev.net - MacDev Militia http://www.alienpb.com - Alien - Because winning is more fun. |

For the price of a Palmers Stabalizer, you could buy a low grade Pure Energy HPA tank...

If you get an x-chamber, you are going to have to get the vertical adapter. So the cost now is like $50-$60. You can get a female palmer stablizer for $70 and the adapter kit (replaces your ASA) to install it with for $17 at countrypaintball.com. With the palmer's stablizer, you CO2 will run about as consistant as you can get it which will typically be 3-5+/- FPS. If you are dead set on getting an x-chamber, the more stages/chambers it has, the better it will preform, but it won't come close to the consistancy of a palmer's stablizer. ------------- Tippmann 98 Custom 14" J&J Ceramic Q-Loader Lapco Direct Feedneck Dye Sticky Grips 20oz w/ on/off valve coiled remote line JT Spectra 260 Thermals JT Tatical Gloves Olive Green Flight Suit |
