ok i play in really cold weather with my tippmann and i use co2. should i buy a pyscho ballistics x core expansion chamber for my tippmann or buy an anti siphon for my tank?
im leanin more towards anti siphon cause its cheaper and i wont have to deal with buying new hoses and figuring out hose lenghths to buy and such.
but i love my 16 oz stubby tank, and if i buy a new gun like an impulse or mag, and i use my co2 tank, the anti siphon wont be lined up correctly, right? so my question is, can i take out the anti siphon and reinstall it so its lined up correctly to use with a different gun?

I'd recommend niether of the above if you can afford a regulator. If you ever upgrade to an electro, the operating pressure on some are 200 psi. With a regulator you'll keep out liquid co2 and be able to adjust and maintain a steady input pressure.
An x-chamber is only good in the winter time, and is useless in the summer. An anti-syphon is ok, but only works when the tank is mounted a certain way like you said. Remember, an x-chamber and anti-syphon are not going to help with consistency(accuracy), so you won't see as much of a difference as you think.

well i dont plan on spending too much money on my tippmann. im gonna be willing to spend big money in the future when i get a mag or impulse or some other high end gun.
are there any good regs under 50 dollars? cause then i might consider buying one

actaully an x-chamber in summer is still good, becasue co2 desnt like it really hot either, but personally i played in mid feburary in chicago, and never had a problem, also the cvx valve in a tippy is probably the BEST valve for co2 on the market, its very solid, so u shouldnt haev a prob

any reg is better then a x chamber, it might "feel" worse, but its not, remember, if it gets cold, its doing its job :eyes: - i think there is a pmi one thats around that :nod:
