1. Can I use N2 with just a reg and the N2???

2. Will #1 be an effective setup???

3. Would I get more shots if I put a low pressure chamber in?

4. Would I get more accurate shots with a low pressure chamber

1) yes
2) better than CO2
3) yes
4) if you set it up right

Probably not. Every air tank has a regulator on it already. Some of these you can adjust to any pressure you want, and some come pre-set. If you're running without the LP kit you need your reg on the tank set between 800 and 900 psi whether it's adjustible or not. If you were putting in an LP kit you would need to have the air set between 250 and 350 psi.

There are two reasons people put a second regulator on their guns despite the fact that there is already one on their tank. First, it makes your pressure a little more stable. More importantly, many people buy a tank with a built-in non-adjustible regulator set to around 800 psi, but they can only have 300psi going into their gun. Thus, they need a second regulator to bring the pressure down further to accommodate their gun.

If you want compressed air, you need to decide:

Do you want a tank with an adjustible reg so you can suit it to your needs, or are you happy with a preset?

Are you going to install an LP kit someday? If so, and you won't ever buy a second reg, you need to buy a tank with an adjustible reg to be able to tune the pressure down when you get the LP kit.
Me? I'm buying an adjustible reg tank so that I can later use it at LP, or on another marker without needing to buy another reg. I want a 4500 psi carbon fiber tank (not sure what size) that has a great reg, so I never need to buy another tank as long as I live (yeah right).

Hope this helps.
