Smart Parts Ion output pressure

The Smart Parts Ion paintball gun is very durable and does not tend to have a lot of problems. If your Ion is not shooting the way you want, it usually has something to do with the pressure your inline regulator is allowing to flow into the gun. The Inline regulator is the front grip on the Ion and serves the purpose for controlling the Pressure (PSI) that is allowed to go into the gun.

The Regulator Pressure controls how your gun will shoot as well as the velocity of the paintball. The higher the pressure, the harder it is on your gun and the faster paintballs will shoot. The lower pressures give the ball a lower velocity and tend to cause problems with starving the gun for air and making it lock up. That is why it is so important to get your gun set at the right pressure.

The Regulator adjusts with a wrench or special tool provided by Smart Parts when you purchased your gun. The when you screw the nut at the bottom of the regulator clockwise, you decrease the PSI. When You screw counter clockwise, you will increase your pressure. The Ion paintball gun runs best between about 160 and 185 PSI. You should see great consistency in your FPS as well as have the gun function great.
