valve.

hey gumby sorry if i spelled it wrong.
i was wandering if the valve for the ats uses a separate air chamber? meaning that if you kept the hammer holding down the valve if it would keep putting out air or if it would just fire enough to fire the paintball?

what pressure dose it fire at? is the regulator just for the re-cocking pistons or is it for the firing air too?

Thanks
Daniel

ATS guns are basically an autococking nelson-based gun.

The valve has its own chamber like a phantom or any other nelson-based gun. If you were able to keep the power tube depressed, it would keep venting air.

The little reg is for the pneumatics, just like an autococker/typhoon.

It is a really trick setup.

Correct on both counts.
The valve has it's own chamber, but there is no check-valve between the chamber and the air source. If you hold the valve open you will have direct input pressure coming out as long as you hold the valve open.
The regulator takes the input pressure from a port inside the ASA and cuts it down to approx. 135psi for the pneumatics.
