Question on the Armageddon Reg

[AlexMcAlpine]

I just got an LCD that has an aftermarket reg on it, I've got a question though.

Does the reg replace the one on my bottle? Or do I just screw my bottle into this like a normal ASA?

The reg is an Air America Armageddon

The armageddon is a complete air system.

It replaces your current reg. However.. if you dont wish that.. i can take that armageddon off your hands to add to my collection of 2 abbaddons

I don't have any other options than to use it I'm going to be using this at the weekend!

Righty then, next question.


How do I get my current reg off my bottle, and this one on?

If Bon is crazy enough to buy it, Id bite his arm off and join the rest of the paintball population who use preset regs.

This way, you can change bottles with someone else if the need arises.

I will do in future, but I need to be using this at the weekend so I won't have enough time to get an alternative in.

Hence me needing to swap the regs over.

On my existing bottle, I'm guessing I undo the two screw on the reg and then unscrew the adapter off. And then screw the bottle onto the Armo?

You shouldnt need to unscrew anything except the bottle from the reg.


As Dave says, hope its not been threadlocked as thats a whole can of worms.

Bottles in those days generally werent locktited on. But a new, preset reg probably will be.



If your not totally clear on what to do dont attempt it!
When it comes to compressed air, safety first safety second.

The bottle was bought last year.

To unscrew the bottle from the reg I think there's two screws I have to loosen before it'll twist off.

I think you are meaning the 2 screws that simply fasten the bonnet to the reg, you shouldn't have to remove these to get the reg off

That is indeed what I mean.

I've tried unscrewing it normally but it's not coming off.
