ALWAYS get the "high pressure" HPA tank. Always, always.
ALL guns can run the HP-HPA tanks. The "low pressure" HPA tanks were designed for older electros that had bad quality regulators that might creep with the HP-HPA tanks. But even those guns would do better with a better reg, then a LP-HPA tank.

Are you sure? I thought if you had a high quality gun, then it would be best to use low pressure. Help me, I'm confused.

high pressure. On newer guns the regs can take the pressure down so u won't have to worry about blowing anything. Also, w/ pressure to spare, so to speak, u won't have to worry about "starving" the regs.

You mean "HP-HPA not LP-HPA."
LPA are 1500psi compressed air tanks from the early 90s.

that is reffering to the output of the tank not the pressure in the tank

Some do.
The manuals also state that they can run perfectly fine on standard HP-HPA input (ie 800psi), as many do.
The only reason to use the LP HPA systems is that you might be able to slightly increase effeciency by improving the dwell frequency.
But it also makes it more likely that it will starve your gun while rapid firing, and worses FPS consistency.
