that link pretty much sums it up, if your getting a vs2 i would recommend low pressure, a bit more gas efficient and easier on your internals

Question Re: high pressure or low pressure?

the link you posted is a 404 error, there's no page there.

I have a 72/30 tank, high pressure. I haven't used it in my gun yet, will it damage it because it's high pressure?!

No..It won't. Use high pressure on all your guns unless you have an Angel.

Default Re: high pressure or low pressure?

Tank output should be HP (700psi+), the VS2's asa/regulator should reduce that pressure to LP(around 200psi).
The regulator on a VS2 is made to receive HP and flow may be diminished if pressure is insufficient.

So, although your gun runs on LP, its regulator may not.

Default Re: high pressure or low pressure?

I was in my garage messing with my VS3 today. I had lent it to a friend to try. I had just finished cleaning it and wanted to make sure that it worked. So I threw my high pressure crossfire on, checked the pressure(250ish), and ripped through 1000 psi. No problem.

My roomie has a low pressure crossfire tank for his mini. I threw it on the VS just to see if all the talk about lp vs hp is true. I did have to adjust the pressure back to 250 when I first put the tank on but other than that I didn't have any problem with the bolt cocking. Now, I have the stock trigger, so I can only shoot up to about 13-14 bps with the fingers. So I guess what this boils down to is has anyone with a uncapped board put a lp tank on and let it rock? Cause it looked like to me that it would do fine. My gun is pretty broken in, though, and the internals had just been coated with sl33k.
