    exspantion chamber?

    What are the pros and cons of a chamber?My mini mag has one on it now but I,m running hpa.does it make a difference?If I took it off can I run a line from the bottom line to the valve?do I need to regulate the incoming pressure?

    If your running HPA and not CO2 then get rid of the expansion chamber its a waste of air.

    Expansion chambers are for CO2 and give more volume for liquid CO2 to expand and transfer some thermal energy from the phase change from liquid to gas. With HPA it just creates more volume, or like adding a long length of hose for no reason. It doesn't hurt to have it installed but you dump a lot of air if you disconnect your air from the gun since the chamber gives it more room to store air.

      Thank You so can I run the air line from the valve to the tank without any sort of regulator?

        Yep. Or you could run it through a gas-thru, if you like the big hose flopping around.
        God gave you a soul.
        Your parents, a body.
        Your country, a rifle.

        Keep all of them clean.
