What does low pressure actually do for you gun. I know it makes it quiter and more accurate, but how. ANd is the accuracy increase tremendous, or hardly noticable?

Thanks

I don't know alot about it but I do know that it will make your gun more consistant. (Which is where the accuracy comes into play) And I am not sure but it seems like it would give you better gas efficiency

Co2 runs at 800psi, it hits the ball with 800psi of force all at once, just forcing the ball out of the barrel

LP runs anywhere from 180-300psi, it is high flow, meaning you hit the ball with 200psi over a longer period of time, this means there is less force on the paintball giving it less change to break, it also helps reduce the turbulence on the ball as it passes through the barrel. it's basically good because it wont break balls, yoru accuracy depends on barrel/paint match more then LP

Low presure is good for consitancy and acuracy but it consumes more air. If u are curently getting about 1300 shots out of your 68/45 then count on that number droping on how low u go.

yeah I dunno who said it but I remember someone saying Low Pressure uses less air. That doesn't make sense though because the purpose of Low Pressure is to use more air at lower pressures (less bass breaks) as opposed to less air at higher pressures (more harsh on paintballs).

hmmm...

Thats what i was trying to explaine crash, and if it is a blowback gun its not even worth it. Ive discussed this with Mr.Palmer u can email him and he will tell u the same thing
