    Low or High Pressure

    Hi, i was just wondering what would be better to have your gun run off of, High pressure or low pressure. Thanks.

    It depends on the gun. As far as Mags go, higher input pressure is better.

    Mags normally run off 800psi... give or take about 100psi.

    alot of ppl with say that low pressure is a marketing gimmick, which isnt always false. the advantages to a properly set up lp marker is low ball breakage, improved accuracy and sometimes range, and better gas efficiancy. some markers like shockers use lp as a gimick as to they eat up gas like it's going out of style, but a properly set spyder, can be just as nice as any high end marker(seriously, and if you dout me i'll tell you how to make an extreamly nice spyder set-up and let you try for urself).

    Well although you can make a Spyder, or any blowback semi very nice, it doesn't matter what you do to it. The velocity and consistency will always rely on the tension of the springs which are everchanging and never exactly the same giving a great margin of error and a wide range of velocities, so despite claims it won't have the performance of a high-end gun...
