Hello everyone,

I have a recon tac 5 and I am curious as to what I can do to speed up the velocity? When I come out to the range I am registering about 150's. I have adjusted the screw as far as it can go and get nothing more. I am running a nitro tank. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

is it a low pressure tank? try HP tank and see. also adjust the screw out and see what happens.

I am a newbie...so sorry for the dumb questions, but what is the difference between High pressure and Low pressure?

on tanks, if it has a red reg on it, it is HIGH pressure-- meaning reg is putting out about 800-850psi

if it is blue, it is LOW pressure-- meaning reg is putting out about 400-450psi.

some markers need HP to function properly (ie, achieve standard velocity). while most markers can work with HP, alot cannot function with LP.
