After being out for a whole day running hpa ( for my first time ) and having bought a tank with fillstation so now I dont have to rely on the field for my air supply, A few questions came about with regard to this alternative power source for my toy..

1.) How many shots do other users get from their tank ? ( I know theres a whole combination of markers, tank sizes etc.. just wondering how peoples milage varies.. )

2.) Do people ( you ) prefer a set reg output or variable reg output ?

3.) How many scuba cylinders do most players have at home ?

4.) Do people customise their cylinders like their markers ? i.e. aluminium polished or colored, annodised or stickers ? ( Obviously this serves no other purpose than to ID your cylinder and maybe prevent theft.. )

5.) How much do you pay at your local dive shop for a fill ?

6.) Does HPA provide for less chops on paint ? ( I never broke a ball using hpa all day sunday - running CO2 is not always that reliable )

7.) What actual pressure do the markers require - and does going LP make a difference..

8.) Is it worth putting a guage on the marker to see what pressure your reg is actually putting out, not just the HPA Cylinder pressure...


All these questions.. my brain is hurting now, so I will stop.. more later....

I dunno if i'd polish or annodise a bottle they hold a shit load of pressure and you dont wanna weaken the cylinder walls but painting or stickers is cool.
All markers use different pressure's my shocker runs at between 170 and 190 psi.

1.) How many shots do other users get from their tank ? ( I know theres a whole combination of markers, tank sizes etc.. just wondering how peoples milage varies.. ) Mag .... 91/4500 ...... 8 to 9 pods
3.) How many scuba cylinders do most players have at home ? none ... JAMIE and his dad .... 4500 fills everyday
5.) How much do you pay at your local dive shop for a fill ? $0 bottle of bundy every coupe of months
8.) Is it worth putting a guage on the marker to see what pressure your reg is actually putting out, not just the HPA Cylinder pressure... if you have a good reg it does
