High Pressure General

[Dr.Jekyll&Mr.Hyde]

I am looking into buying an Omen

I have read that the Omen works better with High pressure the bolt is forced back better or something( please clear this up y is it better)

But wut is considered High Pressure and which tank would be best for my soon coming Omen Cheapest as possible for now
A link from www.paintballwarehouse.com would help a lot thanks

The Omen does run on High Pressure out put tank(around 850 psi) Usually when buying a tank, it says what the output pressure is. The low pressure might not be enough to push the bolt back at high rates of fire. Try ebay for one, Action Village (http://www.paintballwarehouse.com). Froogle.com, and search on google. Try to find a 45/4500 considering that the Omen is pretty heavy already. Any other will do fine, I have a 68/4500 and it's fine.

how heavy is the omen cause im a pretty small guy might have to pump up these guns while im saving up for it

The smallest tank would eb the best PMI Pure Energy Fixed N2 tank 48ci 3000psi
would this work i dont have a ton of money to be spending and at the moment im 15 and its not all that easy to get a job so i got a limited amount of money right now so would that tank work or 3000psi not hight pressure so i guess low pressure

The 48/3000 is fine(around 500 shots), and yes it is high pressure, it should be. The pressure is measured by the output, (850psi=High,450psi=low.) The Omen wieghs like 2lbs and 7oz. It's not really heavy, just heavier than most markers. If you can, look around the find the tank's output pressure.

Actually the Omen 2.0 is considered a LP Marker. It runs between 250-500psi. Thats the operating pressure of the marker. The regulator can take up to 1000psi of input pressure, but your output pressure should never exceed 500psi. Unlike an Ion were the regulator can not support HP input. It is crucial to run a LP HPA tank on an Ion, but you can run either a HP or LP HPA tank on an Omen. It all has to do with the regulator. My output pressure is always right around 260 psi. I only need to make very subtle regulator adjustments to keep ball speed right at 275-280 fps. I own two HP HPA tanks, with 850psi output, a 47/3000 and a 45/6800. I also own a 68/4500 LP HPA tank, with an output pressure of 450psi, from when I had my Ion. All 3 tank work flawlessly on my Omen 2.0.
If your still shopping. I bought my Omen from Critical Paintball.com for $270.00 shipped.
