using a regulator with HPA; whats the point ?

[DFSniper]

no, as long as your velocity isnt turned in all the way, you dont need to increase the airflow into your gun. you just need to tighten your spring tension by screwing your velocity adjuster in more. and as a side effect of less airflow, you'll notice less kick too.

ask away, thats what we're here for!

and this setup will work without a hitch in rapid fire mode...meaning no drop off ?

[DFSniper]

it shouldnt. even fully LP spyders can shoot with no problem, and they run as low as 200psi sometimes.

A Palmers' recharge is near-instantaneous, and even allows the use of CO2 in some markers that wouldn't normally use CO2 (ie, a VS2 or VS3). They're EXCELLENT regulators. The claimed 800psi OP is bull ****. They actually use only about 600psi, so anything excess is waste. As DF also said, because the tank is trying to put out 800psi, the tank can't always recharge correctly if it's not lubed right. The regulator, with all that air in the remote line behind it, evens out the mixture, and gives your gun exactly what it wants. Plus, if you fiddle with it right (velocity screw/main spring tensions and regulator), you can get a medium-ranged pressure without the normal Spyder hiccups or burps.

but what if the regulator is one of those inline ones mounted to the remote right by the tank as in this example

DFSniper I just realised you were answering my question in the MR2 thread LOL.....Now on there you mentioned a high flow valve. Now am I still putting this valve in the marker with this Palmer regulator inline setup. Is that the only thing or do I have to pick up other springs etc. if I put the valve in ?

[DFSniper]

new springs will help you with your dwell time, but thats only really for getting the lowest operating pressure possible. and yes, you could take the palmers inline and mount it on the remote you already have, im just not sure if or how it'll affect the pressure going into the gun.

[bigred76]

It will act as a normal secondary inline regulator....


Skin, sorry, got it backasswards. It'll still work, though, I was just thinking of the bottomline Palmers regulator, which IMO, would be a better option.

thats what I was wondering about ...it seemed that if it was mounted up there,that there was no room/chamber for the air to be contained before being regulated. Thats part of why I have been asking questions. I am trying to avoid mounting it by the marker because of the "f-ugly" factor...

[bigred76]

The Fugly factor IMO applies to the remote line in general... your point? The bottomline regulator is the best setup IMO for you, in case you come around and decide to put the bottle on the gun for any reason.
