What is a LPR/Tape Worm and What will it Do for me?

Tape Worm
A tape worm is one of the cheapest Air modifications you can do to your impulse. What it does is seperate the Air comming into the gun from the Maxflow so that the Noid has it's own Air supply from the Valve. What This will do is keep the Valve from sucking up all the air when the gun is dried fired and not let the noid have air to return the hammer. When this event happens... It's called Bolt Stick. The Tape Worm Prevents that.

LPR (Low Pressure Regulator)

An LPR is the same thing as a Tape worm except it Regulates the Air down to a lower pressure before it reaches the noid. What this will do is make the air used to move the hammer forward and backward lower pressure, resulting in less pressure the bolt exerts on a half fed paintball

To Install a Tapeworm
Installing a Tapeworm is Easy. All you need is a 3/16th or 7/32nd (i forget the exact size. sorry) Allen Wrench, a hair dryer/heatgun and some muscle

First, Remove your barrel, maxflow, bolt, Valve cap, valve stem, valve spring, and ne other loose parts of the gun (i recomend Removeing the triggerframe as well as eye board and eye since there is heat involved). Once all the parts are removed, There is a small allen Screw in the to the bottom left of the Valve cap hole when u look at it. take ur hairdry/heat gun and heat the screw up. this will looses the Loc-tite

Once you have the screw heated. You need to take the allen key and unscrew it. I must warn you will will take ALOT of force if the loc-tite is still in there good.

Once you have the screw out. Clean the hole out VERY well. If you have an air compressor or an On/off ASA and a nitro tank, Blow some air into the hole and use a q-tip or pick and clean all the old loc-tite out.

Once the hole is cleared out, Take the tape worm, and put the small tube a little bit in your mouth and blow through it, This will make sure there is no debris inside the tape worm itself which will cause MASSIVE drop off.

Once you have cleared the Tape worm itself. apply a Tiny bit of[color=blue]BLUE]/color]Loc-tite on the tapeworm and Screw it in until only 2-3 Threads are showing.

Once you have done that you are done. wait for the gun to kool down if it got warm from the loc-tite section and then reasseble it and you are ready to go. You can dry fire w/out bolt stick and enjoy ur impulse even more!


Installing an LPR

Installing an LPR is just as easy as installing a Tape Worm. There is only a Few different Things.

You should have a small tapeworm looking device that comes with your LPR. Follow the steps above to install that "LPR-worm"

Once you have the "LPR-worm" install, If you are usuing an LPR that has a new Valve cap, then just screw the LPR+valve cap in where the old Valve cap, hook up the tubes, and follow the steps in the earlier FAQ on how to Set the LPR

If your LPR is Threaded on the bottom, That means ur need to attach it to Your Current Valve Cap. If you have a threaded Valve Cap, Then just Remove the screw in the valve cap, clean the hole, and using some blue loc-tite, install the new LPR, Hook up all the hosing and follow the FAQ that was made earlier on how to set the LPR

If your Valve Cap isnot Tapped. Then you can remove the small Brass Reliefe Valve on above your Maxflow and put your LPR there. However.. I highley recomend AGAINST this as the little Brass thing is a Relife valve that keeps your impulse from being damanged if Overpressurized. What you can do is Buy a Vlave cap that is already Threaded (many places sell these) or contact someone that Can thread the Cap for you. Once you cap is threaded, connect the hosing and follow the guide on how to set the LPR


After Reading this FAQ i hope you feel more confertable at Doing this modification to your Impulse. If you run into a problem feel free to IM me at metallicafan9182, Consult the other FAQ's, or start a Thread in the SP's Area telling your problem in a VERY detailed matter
