airsystems come in 3000,4500,5000 psi.this is the pressure in the tank
when people say high/low pressure they mean the pressure that is released from the bottle regulator ie high = 500 to 900 psi
low =200 to 400 psi ish
different gats need diferent pressure's,ie new angels are low pressure and the mini reg cant lower the pressure enough to chrony under 350 fps:( :eek:
spyders ect need high pressure to cycle,ie anything below 750/800 psi and they wont recock:rolleyes:
that help:)

also make sure your reg is right for your bottle ie 4500 reg on a 4500 bottle
you can put a 4500 reg on a 3000 bottle but you can only fill to/use 3000 psi(not advisable though,even though most people do check the bottle before filling)EXTREMLEY bad if they dont
i would not advise putting a 3000 reg on a 4500 bottle either as if you forget or some one else trys to fill it to 4500 you will blow the reg seals or the entire reg:eek: :eek: VERY bad

You probably want to get a 1.1 4500 (68) air system, and if you get an ion fit it with a QEV to make it easier on the gas (a mod to give you more shots, they only cost about 8squid and are easy to install), that will get you a fair amount of shots (over 1000)-more than enough for a game, wheras with the 3000psi your going to get a lot less shots out of it, its not really worth the effort of filling up your bottle constantly.
