I have a PMI Pure Energy 48ci/3000 HPA. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000B39EZ/002-9385836-072 1608?v=glance&n=3375251#moreAboutThisProduct)
With a full fill I cannot seem to get my fps over 250-260. I tried a friends tank (same kind) and had the same issue. The screw was almost all the way out.
When I hooked up CO2 the velocity was higher. The only post I found had to deal with running a remote & HPA. I am not running a remote however.
Suggestions?
------------- -Tippmann Custom Pro, Flatline Barrel, Supafly Bolt, Cyclone feed.
-Loves the taste of paint!
