Thanks
The operating pressure can vary depending on your barrel and level 10 spring used. A level 7 bolt with optimum barrel setup could get you in the pressure range of 350psi. A level 10 spring with vented barrel could put you in the 500 psi range. This is the reason mags require a high pressure tank to operate properly, since the tank pressure needs to be at least 200 psi or more above the operating pressure in order to maintain a good high impulse flow rate for high rates of fire.
Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.
