Sorry guys but loads of questions!!

I have an autococker evo and am looking to upgrade the air system. Can anyone recommend a good air system up to about £300?? Someone was saying that a new Max Flo might be coming out soon- anyone know more?

I also need a new bottle- but some seem to be illegal to fill in the UK- what types are okay and will stay alright for some time; and what size would you recommend for a back player? Also a lot of American online websites advertise them as N2 bottles- are they the same? Could i go and pick myself up a max flo and bottle from the states and use here?

Finally, i am looking to put an e-blade on my cocker but am worried that it will start breaking paint. At the moment the marker is so reliable and never breaks paint. Anyone got any experience with e-blades- is it worth upgrading or is maybe a race gun trigger better?

Thanks for any help....

For the UK you need either an HSE or the newer CE type bottles.

American N2 is just what we call air :)

If your playing back you need to get a decent ammounts of shots out ya tank, so get either a 1.1 or 1.5 bottle.
Both available @ about £135 from Just Paintball :)

As for a reg, I would go for a nitroduck x-stream, there only £75ish and arte a really good adjustable screw in :)

e-blades come with an eye, which means the gun doesnyt fire if the ball is half in the breach.
on the bottle side, American Bottles are DOT classed, which are illegal to fill in this country, the new CE rated bottle is for sale on just paintballs website www.justpaintball.co.uk
they are either £135/£145 for different sizes, max flo's are very good regs, along with armageddons and many others, for a back player you would want 1 1.5l bottle just incase

Cheers guys for the quick response. Another stupid question i am afraid- does a cocker run on high or low pressure???

And anyone know where i can actually get the reg and e-balde professionally fitted??

Thanks.

High pressure mate :)

Run mine @ about 550psi, but used to run it on a preset 800 :) so all is good, just not low pressure air systems :)

Bottle and reg are a doddle mate :) just screw them together, I know it doesn't sound right but it is... no need to use any teflon tape or loctite on them, as soon as there is pressure in there they go tight :)

Speak to Wendy @ Just Paintball and she will sort you out a bottle, cheapest place to get them in the UK they are :) (01325) 242419 or visit www.justpaintball.co.uk

Best place to get an e-blade fitted @ the moment is belsales. They are fitting chrome e-blades including the eye for free at the moment until the end of Septemeber :) Give Brian a ring there on (01252) 345484 or visit www.belsales.co.uk he is a really sound guy and will give you all the advice you need on cockers :)

Hope that helps

Dave
