Its best to use High Pressure air, if thats the question.
If not, I think the Ion runs on about 250psi. -------------

yes ions run around 2-3 hundred psi so you could use a lp tank but it is said that some lp tanks get some minor drop off and if you get a different gun that requires high pressure you can use the same tank

| My Ion runs at a pressure of 150psi. That is because I have upgrades that help lower the pressure. |

SP-8 = Ion Stock SP-8's run at around 180 psi, ergo Stock Ions run at 180 psi. ------------- 2005 Freestyle Naughty Dawg Freestyle Angel LCD SP-8 Tippmann 98 Custom |

Okay. So you can run the thing at 180.
Still, get a HPA tank, prevents drop-off. -------------

| I can't even say for sure why he wants to know if it's high or low pressure and actually he hasen't even received a direct answer yet. The Ion is low pressure. |
