how do I make my gun low pressure?

[welt]

I need to know immediately please. I't's a g3 Piranha sts core. What will the pressure be when I'm done?

[Codestar20]

Are you ready to spend $80+ on it. With the best LP set up you will get the pressure down to about 280 psi. That is with all the AKA products. To go LP you will need:

Turbo valve- $20-$60
Drilled VA- free
Modded bolt- free
Spring kit- $10
High flowing hoses if you have none- $10
Regulator- $20-100
I think that is about it...

[welt]

Could you be more specific. Is there any disadvantages to doing this? Thanks.

[welt]

How low will it be and will it be reliable? I'm using co2.

[Codestar20]

The gun will operate at a lower pressure and be more consistant due to the regulator. It will also be gentle on paint. It will give you more shots per fill. A wiser choice in my opinion if you are going to get a new marker, get a nitro tank.

Now to your other question. You can probably get it to 300 psi which is good. It will be reliable unless you are starving your gun for air in which case you will just have to turn the reg up. It will take some tinkering with your gun to get it right. The best reg for co2 is the Palmer Stabilizer. It is like $85 but well worth it.

I didn't want to get a vertical regulator 'cause I was going to get an expansion chamber. If I'm runnin' around in the woods won't liquid co2 still get into the anti=siphon? Sometimes I have the gun sideways, and upside down.
Do I have to get a vertical?
What is the BEST way to keep liquid out of the reg?
Thanks.

[Bocasean]

Actually, you'd be better off with a Stabilizer rather than an expansion chamber. It's much more effective. If you must have both, get a bottomline Stab, and run the expansion chamber as you normally would.

Is an anti-siphon the only solution to keeping liquid co2 out of a regulator? I play alot in the winter so I would still need an expansion chamber wouldn't I?

[Bocasean]

In my experiences, only the most expensive expansion chambers do anything at all. In theory they work, but in practice, the results seem negligible. However, ACI and Allen make a good product.

Also, I'd strongly consider a remote line. If you have two tanks, make one an anti-siphon and run a remote with the other. That way, you'll see which works best for you. The remote will act as an expansion chamber....with about two-and-a-half feet to expand.

Hope this helps

Thanks, but I really don't want a remote.

[Bocasean]

That's cool. The only other way to keep liquid out of the reg/gun is to shoot slowly. An anti-siphon tank with a Stabilizer will be your best bet on CO2.

Will a bottom line reg. work as good as a vertical? What's the difference, other than where they go? I'd really like some cheaper options than the $95. Palmer Stabilizer. Thanks.

[Bocasean]

The Stabilizer will work good vertical or horizontal. It may get more liquid to it in the horizontal setup, but it's pretty good at stoping the liquid from getting to your gun. Then again, it's only necessary to run a horizontal setup if you get an X-Chamber. As for the price, the Stabilizer is the best for CO2. You can get some that are okay for around $60 to $70, but I think the Stabilizer is the best choice at $85-$90. If not, I think the Rock from Palmer is less expensive, and I think the R2000 from Fun Supply is too.

Get the vertical stabilizer (male). It is useless using an x-chamber with a regulator if the reg is first. I personall don't like bottomline regs because you will want a foregrip anyways so why not get the reg that is a grip also.

By the way, isn't the rock reg for autocockers only?

[Bocasean]

You're right about the Rock...Cocker only.

[welt]

I have a gas through grip, that's why I was wondering if a bottom line reg. would work as good. I'll spend the cash on a Palmer if necessary but I really don't want to if a cheaper bottom line reg. will work.
Maybe I'll ask for a ca tank or a Palmer for a birthday present in a couple of months.(my whole family will have to chip in). The palmer vertical wouldn't be necessary if I got a CA tank would it?

[Codestar20]

By ca tank you mean a nitro tank? Then you could get any reg you want. A good one for cheap is the Air America Viglante. But that is for HPA only(nitro, compressed air). Just look on this site and look at all the Air Accessories to help you decide on which reg.
The Palmers is a great reg for anything.

[welt]

Alright, if I go with a CO2000 bottom line regulator, anti siphon, pmi turbo valve, and drill a 1/4 hole through the asa I'll be ready to go. Right? Any problems?

[PbAllWiZZ]

I was reading this poll and there were to things I didn't understand.
1.What is a stabilizer
2.What are these drilled vertical thingys for and why do you need them?

[Codestar20]

A Palmer's Stabilizer is a regulator. It works with CO2 and N2.
A vertical adaptor is the thing that you screw you expansion chamber or vertical reg into. A drilled vertical adaptor has holes drilled larger than stock to allow the air to flow better. It is necessary to drill the va for low pressure set-ups.
