: I was wondering i am building a custom spyder and i pu t a genx2 reg on it since i did that i cant seem to get enough pressure so shoot a ball i was told that co2 works with the genx reg did the guy lie to me i was just wondering if going to a hpa tank will solve my problem or is it something else if someone could give me an answer soon that would be great thank you : TTERB What pressure is the reg set at? What is the input pressure of the CO2? (use this chart to figure it out based on temp: http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/gasses/co2pv.gif)? The reason I ask is that there should be a difference between the gas input pressure and the reg pressure - rule of thumb is 200psi. So if it's a hot day the input will be 850psi and your reg should be set at ~650psi. If it's a very cold day, the input will be 500psi and your reg should be set to 300psi. See the problem? Is your Spyder set up to run at low pressure? As for your question, HPA (N2) will be more stable and you won't need the 2nd reg unless you are running low pressure. Tom
