I'm just wondering what pressure you have your markers running......
I have mine running at 300psi....shooting 300fps...
Just wondering if thats good bad or average....

how do you tell what pressure your reg is set at? probably have to put a psi gauge on it huh?
how do u tell what the whole gun is running at too?

you got it put a gage on it, i think theres a hole for 1 on thee ergo regs....

well......if you have a micro gauge you can put it in the plugged hole under your front block....or you can get a little 90* elbow and use a bigger gauge there that will stick out the side instead of under the front block.....or you can get an adapter that screws between the reg and ASA....
those are just a few but you have to have a gauge to tell what pressure you are running.....
thats the pressure that shoots the paint...also the pressure that feeds the front reg....but that reg should be running at about 40-75 psi...according to WGP...
I have yet to find out how to tell what the front regs pressure is set at....so if anyone knows how to tell....fill me in....
I just set the front reg enough to cock the gun then a little bit higher incase of pressure drop off...

If i got one i would get a 1500psi gage or smaller right?Unless ofcores i waz running my cocker @ 4000psi which would suck.....lol ;)

well....smaller as in size.....not how high it reads....but a gauge that goes to 4000 is harder to read at lower pressures....than the 1200 ....
I myself have an older 32* micro gauge that I use....and it only goes to 600 psi...
and yeah...if your running at 4000 psi....you would be having some major problems....LOL
(really interested in what the stock STO's and Black magics run at)

But i have to adjust the pressure up depending on the paint.
The micro runs on about 300 psi and 285 fps

if the gun was running at 4000 psi I think it would EXPLODE :laugh:

running just under 300 psi @ 285fps on a stock black magic. man cockers are a sweet shooting marker. had to retire the old piranha to the backup gun role.
