    Would my mag operate on...

    would my mag operate on a 450psi output tank?

    thanks

      no thats not sufficent head pressure for the internal reg.
      Did you hear about the new european weapons contracts? France is going to make the wooden sticks Spain making the little white flags

          No, the mag reg takes the pressure down to about 450, and you want atleast 250psi between regs.
          What tank are you reffering too? Most LP tanks you can get an HP spring which will let you run higher.

                  Mags are not a low pressure gun! They require 700 to 800 psi to operate properly. Anything less and the gun will lose velocity and noticeable shoot down will accure.

                      I'm assuming that ur talking about the new bulldog tanks that have the option of comming preset at 450 psi.

                      but yeah, u need at least 600-700 psi commin' into the 'gun.

                          To clear up any confusion:

                          The A.I.R. valve needs at least 500psi from the tank (head-pressure) in order to function. 750-850psi is ideal. The A.I.R. valve takes that down to 375-425psi for gun operation. The firing pressure against the ball in ALL guns is thought to be 75-125psi. Tests are being conducted to find out exactly what, gun fires at what pressure. So far, it looks like 'Mags use VERY low pressures against the ball (I'm not allowed to reveal how low, yet).

                          'Mags are technically low pressure, if you use the industry standard of "low pressure" meaning from 175-400psi. 'Mags run at 375-425psi.
