There have been many reports of players using the Myth/Myth 2 regs that leaked. I myself have owned 3 in the past of which 2 have leaked and still own 1 which has had no problems.
The problem lies with the small oring on the piston of the reg. Some were fine, some looked like they were either smaller or worn down.

I bought these from LIPs, and with there awsome customer service and aftercare, they sent me out replacement parts, which was a new piston with the oring fitted, they even sent out a small amount of air-smith grease(very thick stuff) in a small sealed bag to apply on the oring.
Never had a problem with them since. Several team mates have been using Myth 2's without problems for over 12 months now, so the issue may have been retified by now.

If your still not sure, then give LIPs a call, im almost certain they can do a Geurrilla bottle and the new Ninja reg combo.

Hi Jon, the trouble is , all Regs are good now , there isn`t really one better than another other than weight . I think you must look at yourself as to how tall you are > if your around 5`6" then yes a Myth reg is the best ( shortest ) If your around 5`10" then a Nynja reg ( which is slightly longer ) if your above these heights then use a Dye or any other these lengths as with each of those Heights there is a difference in arm length , If you bare in mind the ease of handling your marker, Up to you mate.

At 5`10" you`ve made a good choice, I shoot an AXE and can tell you that you shouldn`t need to adjust the reg, just put it on and go. the Nynja Reg has shims in so to Lower the PSI if you have a gun that shoots at a Lower pressure such as a Bob long and the like. Most guns shoot at the pressures given by any bottle Reg, However I`ve found that the AXE is so cool , It can shoot on any reg high or low. If in the future you go for a Myth reg ( just in case ) they come with a spring that gives High to Middle Pressure, If you specifically want a low Pressure you must ask at say ( lips ) for a low pressure spring, It`s as easy as that !!
