Need PSI pressure to shot ratio

[RavishingEddie]

I encountered a tough decision. I was trying to decide what type of reg to get but I really don't know what the difference would be if shoot a 68/45 with 1000 psi over 800 psi. I know it will make my gun go faster, but how many shots am I losing if I go 1000 instead of 800?

So basically

800 psi + 68/45 = How many shots ?

1000 psi + 68/45 = How many shots?

To make this easier I have decided not to take the brand of reg into account.
Just looking for average amount of shots that regs of any brand can shoot with these factors.

Shoot 200 PSI of air out of your gun while counting the shots...

now that was easy, wasn't it?

[RavishingEddie]

Just throw me some numbers smart guy

No... he's talking about output pressure. If you're firing the gun at 1000psi output, how much more air will you consume in comparison to shooting at 800psi output.

If you put 800psi or 1000psi on an asa there won't be any diffrence. The marker itself is another regulator designed around propelling a ball down a tube of a certain matched length. If it takes 60psi to do that then thats it. The marker is what determines the volume of air used NOT the input pressure.

Thank you for that information. I always thought that extra output psi wasted more air. I have learned something new. BTW I am talking about my Emag.

Thank you.

Well, what will happen is that after your tank reaches 1000psi, it will start to output lower than 1000psi. Then your gun will continue to work but with less reactivity until your tank reaches 750-800psi, which is about where the mag stops firing I believe.

So for the last 250psi or so you will have reduced reactivity, and then your gun will stop firing all together. I think.

When the tank hits about 800 you'll have about 10-20 shots then it will just bloop.

If it's on an Emag , it's all a wasted discussion.

Get the highest flowing tank you can get and run it as low as it will go for the most possible shots.

Depending on setups and L10 etc , it 'could' shoot reliably down to 600-700 psi.

Thanks for the info guys. I actually traded my Legionair reg for an Ireg on my Mac Dev tank.
Was this a bad move? Is it safe to say then that I will not need the 1000 pressure kit and should just leave it at 800 for my Emag? I also plan on capping it at 15 bps since that is what tournies do anyway.

Thanks yall.

P.S

Fireblade I still haven't got my rail back yet.

From what i've heard, Fireblade has been real busy, so give it some time, it'll get to you.

A decent tank @800psi should put an Emag up to 19-20bps pretty easily and possibly a 1-2 more. It won't go much faster than that anyway based on the capabilities of the soleniod.

and I know . . . I'm finishing up (hopefully in the next few days) a huge production run that's on a super tight deadline , and then I'm back on everything else full time again.

Fireblade is correct, however if you ever plan on using hybrid or mechanical mode, the 1000psi pressure kit will make for a more responsive pull. In E-mode it will not make a difference at 15bps.

sorry I meant i haven't got my rail back to send it to you. I said it wrong.
