Questions bout Nitro System

[PiranahBLVFG3]

OK I'm gonna be upgrading to nitro. Here's the link to the system I'm thinkin bout getting Nitro System
I have a couple questions, I know i need a reg so whats a good reg? If the output pressure is 850 out of the tank then i have to ajust my reg down to like 750 right? Thats all i think.

the system will have a reg on it already, probably set at around 800psi I dont know what preassure your marker runs at. but a second reg will only really be used if you marker runs a significantly lower preassure 250psi or so lower.

Piranha takes CO2 doesn't it ?

Then you just screw that PMI tank directly in the bottomline.

I would go for the crossfire i think there better

If you're running it on a Pirhana, you wouldn't need a reg. They're set up to take Co2 as well, and Co2 outputs about 850-900, so you're fine. If you're running some kind of LP setup (don't see much point of it on a Pirhana, but on the off chance that you are) you should get a LP reg. But if you're marker is setup like it was stock, then 850 input is fine.

What they said...

and if you can afford it, get a 4500 psi tank. You'll want it sooner or later.

You "shouldn't" need the inline regulator, but if you notice that your velocity is rising unacceptably when your tank is close to empty then you might think about getting the inline reg. The only tank I can think of that you won't need to worry about is the Smart Parts setup, but they're more expensive.

I relearned the fact that some tank regs can vary by about 100 psi depending on whether the tank is full or empty the hard way at one tournament. My inline reg went wiggy, so I went on with just the tank reg. I was using a LP gun, so the extra 100 psi about doubled the pressure going into my gun... and I was the second major penalty on that game we missed semi's by a few points. Your gun is setup for high pressure, so a 100 psi variation probably won't even be noticed on your gun. Have fun

Happens with screw in tanks sometimes. As you get down to empty, the gas pressure on the pin is reduced, allowing the pin valve to open farther and release more gas. That's why a second reg is recommended on LP guns.

Cool.
I don't own a screw-in, so mine was probably due more to the inverse relationship that's pretty much what you say, but happening with the regulator pin.
