    Ninja air system HPA, SHP, OR SLP?

    Building my first Automag. Currently have an RT with an old school tank system. What would be the better option of the Ninja regs?

    depends what tank system you have really. some people prefer tanks that are setup for a certain marker. others swap stuff around.

    there are alot more reg options than just ninja, alot of people forget that. most people end up going with a shp.


    just to show most of the options for adjustable regs.

        you need 700+ psi output pressure on your tank reg to get a mag to work.

          CP, isn't the issue with a lot of those regs you listed that spare are drying up? Also the simplicity, still being supported and being lightweight would be the biggest swaying factor for me at least to stick with Ninja.

            i guess just the hard reg seats for the air america regs may be scare, but other than that it's just 90-duro urethane o-rings you need and those are easy to get. i wonder if the agd reg seats would work in them? they fit...maybe just change the reg pin from the aa style to the agd style? as long as the lengths are the same it should work just fine. i'll have to check into that when i crack my next aa reg apart.

              Just get one tank and two regs, one Ninja Superlight SLP for the newer electronic markers, and an SHP for the mags.

                  The easy answer:

                  If you have multiple guns, but want one tank, go with whatever reg runs at 800psi.

                  I do not care for the SHP tanks, as with some work to the on/off pin(at least with an Xvalve type), you can get RT effect with regular 800psi output. Having a tank that would literally blow any other reg up is a costly mistake. I do not need 1100psi tanks to have fun.

                        And this is why I have Ninja on the forums. :)

                          Thanks for the info guys, I have an RT with an old tank on it and I am building my first Automag X-valve. So far it's just a pile of parts. I was only thinking of going with ninja because of the availability and quality. Was thinking of an SHP 68/4500.

                            I just picked up a superlite (SL) 68/4500 a few weeks ago, and I love the damn thing. It's almost the same size as a 48/3000 aluminum tank, and it weighs nothing. It also shoots very crisply on my classic valve with an RT on/off, but I can't speak to whether it would RT an xvalve.
