What is a vacuum chamber for?

Any one know what a vacuum chamber is for?

Think you meen Low pressure chamber but anyway it doesnt really do anything because what it is supoosed to do is make the valve area bigger and the valve area is already big enuff. I don'y really wanna get into detail because they don't do ^%*# and you don't need one. Just to make your gun look cool I guess.

More volume of air available to the valve, means less shootdown during rapid fire. Think of it this way, you've got a vacuum chamber on your gun, giving your valve double the volume of air. When you fire, you'll not have used up all the air in your valve and there will still be a good deal of pressure left in your valve. If you were to fire again without your valve recharging, you would still ahve this stored pressure, so your gun would shoot, but the shot would be low. On a gun with no LPC, you willg et just one shot. Now your valve is always going to recharge, but not always fast enough to keep up with your firing. An LPC will reduce the effect of shootdown on your gun, because you will still have that extra reserve of air

Yea what he said.

honestly, they really don't do much at all... they just look good... performance wise... a little more accurate, meaning a little more consistent from shot to shot... but not much to say that it makes a difference... in timmys they make a big deal... running from 300 psi to 180 psi... for spyders not much difference... since most spyders run on c02... you will only see a more consistent shot if you go from co2 to compressed air...
