    Guys i am just letting you know what your getting into! HPA is safe once you know these few rules. And what little maintenance you have to do to the equipment, gives you the ease and comfort of reliability, consistency and accuracy. remember treat it with respect and it will serve you well.

    Over the years, I’ve seen 3 lipos explode in front of my face or on a charger while I only saw 2 dangerous hpa situations on properly maintained tanks (my line went and I saw a gun go). I would say in my experience that hpa is safer and easier to use in the north east,

    Hey good job on the video. I am getting the Tippmann M4 and I hear good things but have you had any probs with the trigger/full auto? Also what else do I need if I have a regular paintball tank and remote line with reg? { kinda like the coil one your buddy has in the video.} Thanks

    • @MeanCharlesAirsoft
      @MeanCharlesAirsoft  8 лет назад

      +Bryden Spencer all u need is a remote line and tank. full auto DID "run away from me" but can easily be fixed. Look at my ROF video under (Tippmann Upgrade series) for a understanding of the full auto of the Tippmann.

    For a starter amateur HPA Kit for me, would the Redline regulator and Ninja 48ci 3000 psi tank be good and all I need to get started aside from the basic knowledge which you guys have kindly provided?

    • @MeanCharlesAirsoft
      @MeanCharlesAirsoft  6 лет назад

      Yes and some taps for your gas mags. FOSTER 22-2 1/8" MALE NPT or Russian CQB taps. Green Gas is around 120psi on your reg.

    • @CreepyAirsoft
      @CreepyAirsoft 7 лет назад +1

      Gahandi, every gun is different, you will have to run it to find out. You should get at least 4 full games though if you are not going full a out the entire time.

    I currently have a BTC MOSFET with 13:1 gears and a 22tpa motor, so I get the same trigger response as a p* but I am looking to trade my current set up for a p* and I got 2 people willing to trade their fusion engines. I might do that or I might just wait and buy an f1 and drop it in a random gearbox I have lying around

  • @TEZAFIM
    @TEZAFIM 7 лет назад +7

    So the high pressure regs are cheaper than the slp? Can I use a high pressure reg on an slp tank?

    • @MeanCharlesAirsoft
      @MeanCharlesAirsoft  7 лет назад +1

      There is not really a "SLP tank"... SLP is the reg on the tank.
      all paintball tanks are rated the same (3000psi - 4500psi) and hold pressures extremely grater then what is outputted on the reg.
      If you plan on shooting a tippmann go with a reg that is not SLP, it will not matter for the polerstar as your putting a gun reg on the tank anyways. really this only matters for the tippmanns.

    • @tylerm124
      @tylerm124 6 лет назад

      Yes you can. But like he SAID technically it's the tank head that makes it an slp or regular output tank. Slp regs aren't compatible with standard heads and standard pressure regs can use either output slp or standard output

  • @e1357
    @e1357 7 лет назад +4

    Expanding on your first point, what actually happens is that the grease combusts under that pressure, similar to a diesel engine. This will create more heat and gas pressure, which can lead to your tank rupturing.

    • @markp8295
      @markp8295 5 лет назад

      To expand further. Pressure doesn't cause the combustion. It's pressurisation that generates heat that does. So it's only a risk when filling.
      Article on the subject: (www.scientific.net/AMM.331.591)
      Gas laws for Pressure, Volume and Temperature.
      Let's say your air starts at 290Kelvin (62F) if you double the pressure P1/T1=P2/T2
      you double the temperature to 580Kelvin (584F).
      If you fill from atmosphere, that's why you need to fill slowly and often fill in baths of water to help cool the tanks.
      If you fill from a large pre-pressurised cylinder, you can do it a lot more quickly.
      The reason you don't feel this much when pumping up a bike tyre is because air had a low specific heat capacity, so the pump and tyre heat up far more slowly.
      However in large volumes, this is an issue.

    Can you fill an HPA tank with a compressor?

    • @MeanCharlesAirsoft
      @MeanCharlesAirsoft  7 лет назад +2

      yes but it will only go to 150-200psi. you need to pump to 3000psi to get a decent amount of shots. there are things like the shoebox compressor or Crosman Benjamin Pump that is a cheaper solution But it takes forever to pump.

      if the fill nipple spring gets stuck and leaks air some people would put oil in the fill nipple to make a seal. then it blows up.

    @SgtDavidJones 5 лет назад

    Guys great video, love your work and have to thanks or all the info you gave, but there is something not correct at all, hpa doesn't blow up if you grease the fittings, that happens with O2 oxigen, and its because the oxigen pure makes the grease goes through a oxidation process and this ends up producing a spark, and as the O2 is flammable it will ignite and explote. Great work, keep it up!

    Thus far not a single video has explained what HPA is. I figure HPA means H=igh P=ower A= Airsoft? A=Air? A=Arms. ??? I am currently at 3:38 in the Video and they toss HPA aroind like a dog with an old sneaker... But not one Single mention what HPA Stands for. Same with other videos even in their titles they use HPA but do not tell what HPA stands for. Do you folks understand how basically dumb that is? 95% of these videos should begin with providing what HPA stands for.
