If i get a nitrous tank with a low pressure output would that be like having a low pressure kit. Cuz I dont feel like paying $350-$400+ for a low pressure kit then getting a high pressure output tank, wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose,(adding something to make the pressure low, then adding something to make it higher)

so will a No2 with a low output do the same thing?

We don't use Nitrous Oxide in paintball. We use Nitrogen or HPA(compressed air) and they are both almost the same thing.

The low pressure kit for a Tippmann is largely a waste of money, but I won't stop you from getting it.

If you buy a low-pressure output tank, and do not have the LPK kit installed, your gun will not work properly, if it works at all.

The LPK recommends a regulator anyway, so don't think you'll be able to dodge the cost by just buying a low pressure tank.

Why not just avoid this whole problem and buy a high-pressure output tank, ignore the LPK completly, and possibly add a regulator to help with consistancy?

IT woul be okay for you to just get a nitro tank and slap it onto your marker. You dont need to buy anythign special for it. Just the tank.

Like Alpha said just get a high pressure tank and screw it in your asa you wont regret it

Two questions:
1.) Will I get more shots with a nitrogen tank
2.)should I get a 3000psi or a 4500psi, why?

**dhill0413** · March 29th, 02:35 PM

depends on what size tank ur getting, check the air forum for a diagram on how manys shots youll get.

if your local field does 4500 fills, and you have the money, get a 4500 psi tank. preferable a 68ci size.

should I get a regulator too

**Ugly Bassist** · March 30th, 09:12 AM

Yes. a regulator will further your consistancy, its optional tho

**Tippy_A-5** · March 30th, 11:03 AM

If I do get one do I need the virtical adapter to mount it?

Torch · March 30th, 12:35 PM

Right.

Unless you get a female stabilizer or something like that, which can be mounted where your ASA is now and have the tank screw into it.

The vertical mount is more popular.

**Tippy_A-5** · March 30th, 07:39 PM

What if i get a tank with a regulator on it and just say the hell with the adapter and stablizer.

would that work?

Torch · March 30th, 08:06 PM

All air tanks have regulators.

The output from the tank you want will be 850psi, about the same as a CO2 tank.

If you have a secondary regulator you can set your velocity screw to full and then tune with the regulator, and then fine adjustments with the velocity screw. You might save a few extra shots from each fill too.

This is completly not needed though, the gun will run fine if you just buy a screw-in HPA tank that is preset to high pressure.
