they are the burst discs, which are designed to fail if the pressure exceeds their limits, saving your sorry ass.

LEAVE THEM ALONE

And i moved this to the techroom/air section.

Cheers tom but i read someware that only some paintball guns can use hp and some can only use lp , why would this matter??

If all they do is burst ?

they are there to protect you and have nothing to do with the output pressure.

ok i get that , can you explain what people mean when they ask if a bottle has lp or hp?

 

[Gee Tee]

It describes the pressure of a fixed output HPA bottle reg

HP (High pressure) = about 850psi

LP (Low pressure) = about 450psi

Although there are a few fixed output regs that give around 650 psi

that is referring to the output pressure of the bottle reg and different gats operate on either hp or lp output ( some will operate on either )
