Oh no!

Guys i just cancelled my order for spyder electra because I felt like I was getting ripped off. But ive bought a 3000psi Steely HPA tank and I was thinking of an UL SLG 09 in olive because i have been offered it with a halo hoppe for 190. It says on a website that the SLG is ULTRALOW 140PSI OPERATING PRESSURE. Am i gunna have to get a whole new tank? :S and what do you think about the price.

the HPA tank will be fine, the vertical regulator on the slg will take the 800psi or so output of the bottle down to the required pressure, just make sure you read the manual etc

Don't worry, it'll still take a HPA tank

 

[DannyVeti]

well 800/145 = like 5.5, this mean im gunna get like 5.5time more sh ots per tank that HP guns?

 

[Potter Loki]

doesnt work like that im afraid pal.

 

[DannyVeti]

So its not more air efficient? will i get a few more shots? or none at all more. So whats the differnce between HP and LP. Also what u think about a 09 SLG UL olive + Halo hopper for 190. its my first setup is the price good?

 

[Potter Loki]

HP output is around 800-850 psi, LP is around 450 psi, doesnt really matter which you have, ive always had HP tanks and they are fine, you might get a few more from an LP tank but its negligible and depends on other factors to. Sometimes with LP tanks the regs cannot supply pressure quick enough at high rates of fire so you will suffer from drop off.
Never shot one so cant comment, meant to be good starter markers and halos are alright, just read threads on here for advice...

 

[DannyVeti]

Your saying youve had diffeerent pressure tanks. Mine is 3000psi HP i think, THis is tsill OK for LP gun?

 

[Potter Loki]

that will be fine, i use a 4500 hp fibre wrap, the only difference is it will fill to 4500 psi not 3000 psi like your bottle and is made from carbon fibre not aluminium. ive used it on all sorts of guns and its fine, yours will be to

No marker uses the full 800 psi.

Most are around 200 psi these days, so 140 psi, is lower pressure.

This is better for the ball, BUT, the reason you don't get more shots, is because you have to use a larger volume of air, so these low pressure markers are High Volume, low pressure, as opposed to High Pressure, low volume. Both have their advantages, but most spool valve markers like the SLG, are less efficient on air, but very quiet, don't kick and don't break balls.
