: Another note: the idea that lower pressure break less paint may have come about from co2 users. On a co2 marker lower input pressures eliminate liquid co2, which can cause a lot of breaks. So low pressure might break less paint, but only if you're using co2!

-No offense there big guy, but I smell more dead-zone benchracing here.

I have a blowback semiauto called a Mega-Z, which was designed and intended to run *liquid* CO2 directly. It's a fast, high-quality inline-valve blowback, and as near as I can recall, it has never broken a single ball during on-field play.

And that's with a blast of full-tank-pressure liquid CO2 firing the ball.

Yes, a lower operating pressure can aid in keeping liquid CO2 out of the valving, but to simply state that liquid CO2 somehow causes ball breakage, is erroneous.
