| The X2 Inline Regulator is a two piece regulator. The top is machined 6061(T6) anodized aluminum, and the bottom is stainless steel which is polished to a high luster. The X2 is the highest flow regulator on the market, keeping up with any markers need for air. It also has the easiest to use Quick Twist, moon cut pressure knob with tournament lock down screws. Plus, we have provided a micro gauge for quick read of the output pressure. A complete rebuild kit is also included. |
|
| Product Availability | |
|
| The ANS X2 Inline Regulator is newer, so it should be commonly available, both new and used. |

| Review: |
The regulator is very nice. Besides being asthetically pleasing it performs exceptionally well. The ease of use is unbelievable. Simply loosen the screws at the bottom adjust the reg by turning the knob and lock the screws down and you're done. The guage may get in your way at first but you get use to it after a while. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Excellent regulator. Does its job very well. |

| Review: |
I have a spyder imagine and it runs at 850 psi Ive had trouble about running out of air to quick so i got a reg and now my spyder runs at 450psi instead of 850 so I can get more shots per tank.My spyder looks better and feels better. i recommend this reg to anyone who needs one. |
|
| Conclusion: |
LOVE IT. more shots per tank. looks and feels great recommend to anyone |

| Review: |
This is a nice regulator its easy to adjust very concistent at 450 but if you try it on a ion it wont have a nice recharge rate
its good on CO2 but its great on Compressed air
the only thing that I didnt like is the allen stops
if you have a cocker this reg is for you |
|
| Conclusion: |
Buy it if you own a cocker |

| Review: |
Bought it for $50 used with a Dye gauge installed. the gauge is huge. also, on this marker it is very hard to hold. it is very consistent and easily adjusted. the Ergo is also a very good regulator and much more cheap. This is a very high flow regulator and probably isnt necessary with a mech gun. It is very reliable and durable. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I recommend this for tournament play and people who need a very high flow regulator |

| Review: |
I would highly recommend this product if it wasn't for the weight. Solid good design, looks aren't bad either. The set Screws are kind of a pain, but I would just take them off if you aren't playing in a tourney or something. It's very handy to be able to just tweak your pressure without breaking out Allen keys. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Good reg if weight isn't an issue for you. |

| Review: |
Alright, well I'd looked around before buying this regulator, and was pretty excited about getting it. So I got it on ebay, for, well I can't remember how much. So I've taken it a few times, and well It didn't really set up to par. The velocity has been all over the place, +-50 at least. I've cleaned it multiple times, and even have had techs go through it. It could just be that I got a bad one, so idk. Now also, the adjustibility, its been good and bad for me. Sure its easily adjustible, but thats caused me to knock it outta place accidently etc., and also at certain times, I've had trouble adjusting when it get slippery etc.(played when its raining) I personally just prefer an allen wrenc adjuster.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
Now I personally wasn't very pleased with this, but then again it could just be that I got a bad model, so I'm not gonna give it a super low ranking. |

| Review: |
This is a very nice reg, one of the best. some say cp is better, all i know is cp and the black magic are around 20$ cheaper. i didnt run into any problems installing but there was a small space between the new reg and the gun but it came w/ an o-ring to tighten it up nice. the first day at the chrono i was shooting +-4 |
|
| Conclusion: |
the price is pretty steep but this reg is VERY easily adjusted and comes w/ a rebuild kit and gauge |

|
| Review: |
The best thing about this reg is that you can only raise the psi so much before the pro stops kick in(you have to set them to your specifications). there are some older models that have huge gauges but that's too bad. its cheap to buy a new gauge if that's the case. is pretty stubby in terms of length. another great feature of the reg is that it has input and output(macro in/gauge out)on both sides of the reg depending on weather your predominantly a righty or lefty or your marker setup. you can also sort of use it as an emergency on/off by turning the very bottom out. there are around 6 colors to choose from. the only problem i have with it is that it is slightly wider than most regs but i does make up for it in its short length in most peoples books. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great in terms of consistency and size. very accurate gauge. quick psi raising or lowering. great air flow. the only problem i have with it is cosmetically other wise id give it a 10 for performance. |

| Review: |
I bought my GXe with this on it. I went to play for the first day without oiling, and apparently the previous owner didn't oil it either.
I shot at the chrony and the thing was going +-30.
Not so good... but decent enough to get me through the day okay.
The next time I oiled it up at home, and it was much more consistent, +-10 which isn't the best (my cp got me +-5 usually) but its anodized to match my gun, so I have no reason to switch it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
There are better regs out there, but if you lube it regularly this is by no means a bad reg. |

| Review: |
This is the best reg ive used, its very consistent, as ive said, and its overall very good. Ive used it for over a year, and i have not had one problem. The only real weakness, is that i wish the line out to the gun was at the bottom of the reg, it just makes more sense, so sometimes the macro line gets in my way, and its a bit annoying after a few hours, but it doesnt mess up my game at all. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This is a superior regulator, and i would highly recomend it to any paintball player, im a tourny player, and this reg has never let me down, even at 20+ bps, and no more than +/- 3-4 psi on the chrono. |
