I have seen low pressure kits available for the Tippman custom 98. I know usually low pressure is for compressed air, but there are regulators available for CO2. Does anyone have experience with this? Does low pressure operation use less gas?? Does low pressure operation make the gun quieter? Any advice would be helpfull |

Low pressure operation is very useful for CO2. If you can get your pressure
down to around 450 psi you have less trouble with cold weather operation, and less velocity related trouble too. It will also make your gun quieter, but don't expect to see huge improvements if you're using a noisy gun like a Tippmann. If you're after quite, a well ported barrel is the first step. Many people claim a low pressure markers uses more air, but I haven't noticed much difference in air consumption on a well tuned low end gun (2 tube blow back) If you are used to sucking liquid into your gun (blows ice out of the barrel) then lowering your pressure will help air consumption though. -- "Don't be misled, bad company corrupts good character." www.LCTPaintball.com "tim" <coppermouse66@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:nuLBb.2433$l%1.443@fe2.columbus.rr.com... > > > I have seen low pressure kits available for the Tippman custom 98. > I know usually low pressure is for compressed air, but there are regulators > available for CO2. > Does anyone have experience with this? > Does low pressure operation use less gas?? > Does low pressure operation make the gun quieter? > Any advice would be helpfull > > |

They definately suck more air when people lower the pressure just by adding
valve chamber volume. But changing the internals (with smoother moving parts, for example) allows you to lower the pressure and in some cases it can be more efficient. All depends on what method you choose. Spending money to LP a tippmann though is kind of defeating the point of a tippmann: simplicity. You're probably going to run into more problems than its worth. I still own my tippmann (through owning all of my cockers, angels, imps, etc.) and I've had a TON of mods on it, and I can promise you that it shoots best stock. All of those mods have been stripped.

Not really. > Does low pressure operation use less gas?? Sometimes but not always. > Does low pressure operation make the gun quieter? Usually. Some guns just have loud moving parts. -- _________________________ Chris Phillipo - Cape Breton, Nova Scotia http://www.ramsays-online.com |

> > Usually. Some guns just have loud moving parts. Again, depends on how they lower the pressure. If it's just by reducing friction of parts, then yeah, the gun will get quieter. If it's by increasing something like dwell, then the gun will actually get louder. |
