Why not use a regular reg instead of the xvalve?

??

ummmmmm.... im just wondering why would you want to do this?!?!
like was already pointed out in like 9 different posts the x valve is aregualtor and putting a reg on it would just smotehr it so...................
Dont Do IT?!?!?!?!?

Are you kidding?!? The X-Valve, which others have already pointed out, is a regulator. And the fastest regulator available in paintball.

Double regulating helps when the pressure drop before the primary regulator when charging affects the regulator output.

Now, if you can find a 10,000psi to 1,000 psi regulator and deliver 10,000 psi to that secondary regulator, you may indeed increase the consistency of the X-Valve.

Seems a bit difficult to get 10,000psi fills though.



For what they are, perhaps. But they're useless for a Mag.

Theres no need to shoot more then 20bps, its pointless. My idea/point is that it would be more consistant. :)

not getting it

What your not understanding is that the back half of an Xvalve is already the best suited regulator for a mag. Its Designed that way and will not change until something better comes along.

For a mag the Xvalve regulator is perfectly consistent and you will never experience any shootdown or really any problems as long as you have high pressure running to it.

I'm sure those other regs work great and are very consistent when running them on a gun without an internal regulator (like an Ion or Stacked tube or anything)

but with an Xvalved mag, your just complicating a perfect system

It has nothing to do with shooting 20 bps. It's all about the size of the Automag dumpchamber and the pressure required in the chamber.

NOTHING is faster than the Automag regulators and they need a minimum of 500-600 psi input to fire.

Reread my post. you would NOT get any more consistency. Not unless you can proove that the replacement regulator is more consistent. And if it is, you'd gain the consistency by gutting the Automag valve, not by double regulating.
