    What is wrong with using HPA and an x-chamber?

    I really love my x-chamber as a fore-grip, so I guess I have to just redirect the air flow into the valve cuz everyone seems to tell me that its a bad idea to run HPA and x-chamber, even if I took out its guts so it was a 1 stage chamber...
    I mean I don't fire at like 12 bps er anything, or go spray and pray...
    lookin fer IR3 or Xtreme (C&C)

    black RT Mag for sale. Great condition. Stock barrel, sanded bolt, I-frame, blade trigger. Extra parts, bolt spring, internals o-rings, extra hardline, nubbins, hardline. it doesnt break balls except on ppl. asking $450.

    Doesn't matter?

    I really don't see much of a problem with it. You'll just have a large reservior of air, even after you "turn off" your tank, left in your exp. chamber and lines. Perhaps the people who told you not to do this were concerned with flow problems (can't see why, really), in which case you should just give it a shot...

      ok, the reason why people say not to run an expansion chamber after your HPA is consistancy. you have a regulator inside your HPA tank. it regulates the air to a certain psi. then the air goes to the expansion chamber, where the air will lose some of its consistancy as it goes through the stages of the expansion chamber.

      i guess it isn't that big of a deal if you don't shoot fast, you just don't get as consistant of a shot as you would without the expansion chamber.
