    Pre-set tank at around 850psi.

        i put 950 only cuz you didnt have anything higher....

        i run mine at 1k though i may up it 1.1k or more to see how i like it.... though 1k seems to work for now

        all the time i spent shooting my old carbine gave me really strong trigger fingers....

          Wow - I would've put it over 950 if I had thought that anyone was using that high an input pressure. Sorry! Didn't anticipate that. That bad boy must be crisp! Thanks for the info, virus.

            and crisp it is.... that input with the Zgrip and over the chrono got up to 11bps......

            now if i could just work on conserving paint i would be allset.... that and i have to stop saying "oh your gonna try for that bunker.... ok just say when..... GO =)

            i got to stop doing that during rec play.... or get on a team in my area

              when I was setting up my friends RT.. we were playing to find out what the ideal pressure was for us.. it was above 950psi. I like it in the 1000-1100 range.. he liked it just under a k. it's all about trigger control ;-)

                Wow! I been running 700. Never have I tried that high. 1K huh? Hey! why not? I might just play around with that one time and see what you guys are talking aobut. Maybe not on the EMAG but on the RT Pro maybe. You guys are animals!!

                  It seems as though the 850's have it, but I bet that's just because alot of tanks are commonly preset to 850, and people don't regulate it again. So a great question to ask would be "are you happy with your trigger response when the pressure input is 850?" That's exactly what I'm dealing with... do I want to add another regulator? My current tank is 850 preset and wonder if it really warrants the extra cost and weight. But I thought that more people would be using settings on the UNDER side than over... that means I would have to change my tank, too, to be able to increase my input pressure.

                        I had mine set at 750 CONSTANTLY, as soon as I got it set, I never moved it one time. the reason....IMO it had AWESOME reactivity(could shoot easily 13 bps) and it never had drop off.
