Not that there would be any point to it, but could it be done? Since mags seem to be catering to what the market wants with the latest ULE stuff, why not make a low pressure mod for those who are from the LP school of thought? ...and if for no other reason then cockers won't be able to use that excuse any more :)

Can they be made to run at a lower pressure. Well the LVL10 get's the bolt pressure. So that's set. If you want to lower the valve pressure needed to propell the ball, the stock AIR valve is around 400psi as it is!

However, I could personally see a different design to the mag than the E-mag they currently have.

I'd like to see a 4-way solenoid and a pneumatic ram to operate the bolt, with a spring return. The other hose would go to another ram to operate the on/off. No need for a spring return, the on/off pin pressure will push it right back down.
