HP

I thought DMs could run on either? Sorry to question it but i seem to remember using LP on my DM5.

either HP or LP will work, the hyper II reg will adjust it to work at the right pressure.

thanks for the replys,
i think ill get a hp then i can use it on a different gun if i need.

Alternatively, I would go for a good LP preset like a crossfire. Very high flow rates so will work with gats that need higher pressures but low enough that even LP gats will be happy with it.

ok im confused a lp gun can use a hp bottle, and vice versa for lp?

pretty much.

Its the regulator which manages the flow into the actual gun so having a high or low pressure shouldn't matter but with some guns it does.

someone else could tell you which ones.

Most Low Pressure Markers have a vertical reg(foregrip), So with the tank reg, then the vertical reg, you will have a two stage air set up. In this case you can use either HP/ and some LP Tanks. With HP tanks you will have fewer problems with the recharge rate of the vertical reg, which leads to drop off at high rates of fire.

A single stage set up are when you have the reg on the Tank only, leading to a gas thru vertical grip and on into the gun. This is when the LP tank comes into its own.

LP Crossfire tanks do have good recharge rates, as stated above.

so, with two stage regs = HP/LP Tanks
Single stage reg = LP Tank
