If you want to make your gun low pressure just for the sake of low pressure you won't get the benifits that come from sweet-spotting your setup. Sweet-spotting will give you the best consistency possible with the given valve,spring,hammer etc combo. Doing so will in itself reduce the operating pressure of the gun. I am at 280 psi operating pressure, I use the Orracle valve assembly and stock hammer and get 280 fps and my shot count per fill has improved noticebly. Try this approach and see where it leaves you. "FreeFlow" is a brand of autococker from Professional Paintball I beleive, supposed to run low pressure and they claim a 35 psi recock pressure on the ram. Ball pinch is attained by reducing your recock pressure to the point where it will reliably cock everytime, this can be accomplished with any front reg, stock included. Hope it helps. Razor : Can anyone explain and describe the differences between a LP setup vs. a HPA setup? Why would an individual choose one over the other? All I can think of off the top of my head is the volume generated by the marker when being fired and gas efficiency. : Can someone explain what exactly the term "free flow" means when attributed to a cocker? What does this do to a marker? I read one article that said this modification will "pinch" a ball if loaded incorrectly into the chamber, rather than pulverizing it, creating a mess. Is that all it does? Why else would a person want it? : I am thirsting for information! I am reading as much as I can, but want more!
