Why are there two Regulators on a Cocker?

[Keikan]

What is the purpose of having one in the Front Pnuematics and the inline. I plan to make my cocker lp in the future but I need to know the purpose of the parts required to do so. Also where / what does the aka tornado valve do? argh im so confused :) should have stuck with a simple gun :P

It really is not that hard to learn your cocker. jus take the time learning what every single part does and where it is before you upgrade.

To answer your question, autocockers have 2 regs because they serve 2 completely different functions. The inline acts like a reg does on any gun. It regulates how much air acually enters the gun. While the front (pnuematic) reg regulates how much pressure it takes to recock the gun. I.E. it regulates how much pressure it takes to send the ram back.

CF is correct. The High pressure reg sets the primary pressure of the gun and the Low pressure erg sets the recocking perssure.
The Tornado valve is a high efficiency valve. By increasing the efficiency the primary pressure can be lowered. This should be done in conjunction with lower pressure valve and hammer springs. By changing the hammer spring it can also make a softer trigger pull.

BTW if you are running nitrogen on a 'Cocker you actually have 3 regs. There's one on the tank, a high pressure reg and a low pressure reg. That's why some people bypass the hPR and have an adjustable reg on their nitro tank. Almost all screw in tanks are not adjustable. Only a few screw-ins are adjustable.
