    Presure question!!

    I was reading my autmag manual, and in the final page i notice that the gun recives presure form 800 to 1000 psi, and the regulator turns down the presure to 375 psi

    My question is, do you recomend me to buy a palmer stab to replace my expansion chamber??? because the palmer reg only regulate the gas from 0 to 900 psi

    The 375 psi that the regulator delivers can be even lower? or that is the lower presure that the gun needs to shoot properly??

    And the final question, 375 psi can be considered as a low presure gun???


    thanks for your time

    Eh, unless you're running CO2 you don't need a stab. Low pressure, high pressure... it's all moot... don't worry about it.

        You want the Palmer reg to put out 800psi. The gun needs a MINIMUM pressure of 600psi to operate.

        Internal pressure is a regulated 450psi.

        The ball will see 65psi.

          Is a reg even necessary? I mean especially w/ CO2.

            that is the question
            is a reg realy necesesary with Co2!!!!

              Also the pressure will need to be higher then the min. 600 IF running a lvl 10 if Im not mistaken. Day or someone correct me if I am worng.

                Nope. not necessary. You can run an expansion chamber and a anti-siphon tube in the tank to keep the CO2 out.

                Is it (regulator) a good idea? Sure. Necessary? No.

                  It really won't help you either way. If you are worried about co2 getting in the gun, another regulator will not help, as the liquid is not stoped by regs, as it is the same pressure untill it boils. I always run a remote AND an expansion chamber if I am going to use co2... my mag is my baby

                    Wright now i use my mag with a remote and a 6 stage aci expansion chamber
                    you dont recomenme tu remove the expansion chamber to put a stab reg, or to put a sideline reg from palmer??

                      Another reg would not help you as much as the expansion chamber. You want to get all that co2 to boil into gas, so long as that happens, the reg on the gun will do the rest just fine.

                        It doesn't matter what the pressure is going into the gun. The regulator on the gun will regulate it down to the required pressure to give the velocity needed. The one thing that is needed for CO2 is stability. This is where the expansion chamber comes in. The expansion chamber provides lots of surface area to add heat to the gas to prevent condensation. Condensation is liquid. Liquid is dense and when it eventually returns to gas, will cause pressure spikes. These spikes result in velocity fluctuations.

                        So, don't remove the expansion chamber if you are using CO2.
                        Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

                          Although it is not necessary, a palmer stab. is the best way to run CO2. The work VERY well with CO2.
