Hi I am just wondering what is the difference between hp and lp regs ? I have an angel a1 fly and I know I have to use lp but don't really understand why ? Also is 48cu lp and 68 cu hp ? I do not have a clue as you can see =( any help would be fantastic lads thanks very much =)

it's the output pressure of the regulator on your bottle.

low pressure tends to be around 450psi

hi pressure is around 800psi

mid range reg (myths) are around 600psi

Most modern markers will run fine on either

A few will get shoot down at high rates of fire with an LP

Only the angels need lp of the more modern markers.

48,68 and 88 ci are bottle sizes we tend to use .8l 1.1l and 1.5l instead of cubic inches to describe them.It relates to the volume of air they hold,so the high the number the more air it holds.

You can have HP or LP regs on any size bottle as they only control the output pressure.

Thank you very much for answering my question once again! You have been such a great help Thank you. So if I ran my angel a1 on hp what would the outcome be? would it be shoot down.. which brings me to my next questions (sorry =() what exactly is shoot down? Thank you very much for your patience with answering my stupid questions

Do not put a HP reg'd bottle on your angel as you may blow its guts out.

Your angel is designed to run on a LP reg'd bottle

shoot down is were the reg doesn't recharge fast enough so the marker is starved of air and the velocity will drop further the faster you shoot..

Use your LP bottle and your angel will be fine with no shootdown.
