Thinking into getting my first pump gun. What are some pumps that run at a low pressure? My ninja tank is set at 500psi. I read somewhere that the empire sniper runs at low pressure. Also looking at the kaos pump. I would get a trilogy or prostock sniper but never touched an autococker. Would they be better in some ways?

The sniper usually tops up at 275 psi so the 500 is sufficient

Pretty much every autococker pump I know of uses LP pressures.

For the basics, every auto cocker pump works nearly identical, and does not require any type of high pressure.

Except for Trilogies whose valve is designed for use with CO2.

For what it's worth, '96 and older 'cockers have a smaller valve chamber not as conducive to low operating pressure.

Still work though with a LP valve.

Using the same tank as you with a 500 PSI output, have my regulator pressure set to 200 PSI and have no issues reaching 300 FPS. I'm running an Empire Sniper, and I have to say it's a great gun to shoot. Definitely pick it up over the Kaos, I felt the kaos pump stroke. It's smooth, but it doesn't have the same tactile feel as the Empire. It feels very... muffled if i could explain it that way.
TL;DR - Empire runs @ 200PSI, get it

Well I'm going to be getting my FIRST pump so I don't want to go out and spend $400+ on a pump if I end up not liking it. I know I could find one cheaper in the bst but it's still about $250-$300 which is a little much for my first pump. I'll most likely get an autococker pump and do that. If I love it than yea I'll pick up a sniper
