I would like to know the advantages of high pressure. I don't understand it and i would like to understand it.

Are you taling about high pressure tanks (HPA) or running your gun on HP instead of LP.

im talking about running your gun on hp

im talking about these high pressure kits these people buy.

ar they tanks? cuz if they are, it's known as compressed air/nitro. Compressed air is in a gaseous form, and is alot more stable than Co2, so you don't have velocity spikes or burping that is caused by cold weather. YOu get more consistancy in your velocity, and you can play in cold weather, because nitro/compressed air is not affected by the coldness or hottness, since it is a gas. Co2 in the tank, is in liquid form. Also, Co2 is known to wear your internals faster than compressed air, so taht is another plus side. YOu don't have to worry about your internals freezing due to rapid fire from Co2.

Yes the air in compressed air/nitro tanks is called high pressure air because it is at a much higher pressure in the tank. 3000-4500 psi. Wereas a co2 tank is at 800psi. That does not mean that your gun will be shooting at high pressure just because your using nitro. The out put is usually adjustible from 100-1000psi

one small correction...Co2 tanks are 1800 psi :D

Opps yeah 800psi output. 1800psi

yeah but i hear people running microline and using high pressure parts inside their gun to run on high pressure. This is confusing to me.

i think they're atlking about running micro and using Low Pressure internals and running compressed air..
