hey guys, i need some opinions. im playin against guy with timmys, shockers, angels, and everyother gun that costs over 1000 bucks on the market and im smokin em with my a-5. the only problem is, im shooting maybe 300-500 balls a game (egrip is happy) and im runnin out of air (field only fills to an average of 2k) i was wondering if the low pressure system would be worth buying. im not really a fan of the way it looks but if it can make a huge diffrence than i might get it. what are some advataged that those of u with low pressure systems notice about it? if u could let me know that would be great. Thanks

First, congrats on smokin those "fancy gun" toters!

As for your LPK question, I would have to believe that running at a lower pressure would get you more shots per fill. At least according to Tippmann.

 

Dunno about your second question. Wouldn't you want to use the LP Stab?Confused

ok dude......yes u can get a lpk....but that does not mean that you will get more shots out of your tank (at least not a significant amount).

It means less recoil and better consistancy

While shooting at a lower psi the lpk makes the valve open twice as long....so you really are using the same amount of air.

Setup
a-5, LPK, Macroline,
14 Lapco Bigshot,
Dead on Drop,
Palmers Stab,
double trig, 68CI Crossfire 4500
Backup:
98C, GTA Expansion chamber, Fullboar Rear Cocking, 12oz Co2, 32 Ice Cold Barrel
