  | ION - High Or Low Pressure Bottle ION owners. A co-worker of mine is looking to buy his first paintball gun and is leaning towards the ion. (I was steering him towards a nice kp but for some reason he wasn't going for that) Anyway, What output pressure bottle should he look for? I'm ASSUMING the ION is a low pressure gun, so a low-pressure-output hpa bottle? I think I remember seeing in the manual that input pressure shouldn't be any more than 200psi, so I'm thinking a low pressure bottle with the gun's on-board regulator set down to about 200 then? Thanks in advance.

| You can use a high pressure output tank with the Ion. The Ion's regulator will take care of the pressure difference. I used the same Crossfire 68/4500 High Pressure Output tank on BOTH my A5 and my Ion, before I sold them.

| Rain is right. The in-line regulator stays the HP pressure from the bottle reg... to the marker's working psi which is less than 200. Have your buddy go here: The most comprehensive Ion FAQ thread available and here The Chuimanfu Grande List of Ion Upgrades

| PLus an HP tank can be used on a lot more equipment, if he ever decides to switch.

| Heres what i know i personally run a 92 by 4500 crossfire low output but you can run a high output tank. if you are going to run a high pressure output by an aftermarket reg. the stock reg seems to spike with high output bottles and destroy the noid

| Sounds good, thanks much guys. *sigh* If only I could sell him on some classy 12-gram fed beauty then he wouldn't have to worry about this!

| ...but he may suffer a "shoot-down" situation if the output and input pressures are too close together.
