I think the reason so many folks think that blowbacks need high pressure is that so many come with no reg or any way to fit a reg so we just assume that ALL blowbacks need high pressure. BUt as this thread and many others have said this ain't the case.

I've got a piranha EVO here that came set up for 350 psi and it works superbly well at that pressure. In fact I don't doubt that I could lower it even more but then I'd have to mess about with springs to restore the ball velocity.

I like my blowbacks for the very reason they are looked down on.... their simplicity. Yes it's not flashy and they do have a bit of internal kick but I like the basics and the bit of kick let's me know I'm shooting something. And that just adds to my enjoyment of playing.
