I have my angel air set on about 500 output psi, is this enough output pressure so the gun can get 300 fps, im having problems getting up to 300, i am only at about 250s and i was wondering what i should do to make it go higher, anyone please help.

Are you running the Mini reg as a gas thru? If so you need to back the adjustment screw all the way out and let the AIR system regulate it to the pressure needed to achieve 300 fps. If you are using the Mini reg to regulate also, the AIR output should be put atleast 200 psi above the Mini reg. Then use your adjustment screw on the mini reg to reach the desired fps. Also 500 psi seems alittle low for a LCD.

Hope that helps.

You want more then that from the AIR. The manual says 800-900psi, but I run mine 600-650.

everytime i go above about 600 i start hearing a little leak so i just never go that high, what could that be? If i back it off a tad bit the leaking stops its weird

Where is the leak coming from?

sounds almost like my reg, but i am not for sure on that. I also got a question, does the ram determine some fps, like when u set it, if u dont set it right will it lose some fps? I got a new bolt and i had to readjust the ram, and i might have done it wrong since im a newb :(

By reg do you mean the minireg on the gun, or the angel AIR?

If its the AIR, see if the leak is coming from the little silver thing on the side of it.

It's the safety vent. Most likely the little red plastic piece has moved out of place or is worn. Or the allen screw has slightly backed out of the leaf spring(the little metal piece holding it all together). It's a real easy fix.
