    Ninja tank regs are adjustable by removing/adding shims. Other tank reg outputs are also adjustable. Something like 400-500 psi should be fine for anything, especially since you're setting the pressure for the marker on the inline regulator. You could probably get away with a higher tank regulator output pressure, but I've always just removed all the shims from a Ninja tank reg for 450ish psi and used it with Emeks (operate around 160ish psi) and snipers (300 psi) without issues.

          That bottle was born in October 2020, so it only has 8 months before it will need to be re-hydroed

        I have had issues with my MP5 running my mech cockers at full steam. It measures 430 output. I went with another tank using ninja v3 full shims (765 output) and ended up using my MP5 on my space guns and my A4 Fly.

          Yea that’s where I’m at tryn to find a happy medium that would be ok low enough for the a4 fly but yet high enough for an electric autococker

            @Reflex, that bottle was rehydro’d 11/25, so it has almost five full years before it needs it again.

              Yeah I'd just get a ninja and set it up for like 500 and be done
