Oh, just so you know, it's pretty well established that at least in the case of Angels, the volumizers are more decorative than functional. They don't really change the performance of the marker significantly (if at all).

However, on some other types of marker, changing to low pressure can have a variety of impacts on performance:
-it can raise (or LOWER) gas efficiency
-it typically lowers noise level
-it can affect velocity consistency (positively or negatively depending on how it's set up)

Myths that are frequently associated with low pressure add-on accessories that are NOT true:
-longer range
-increased accuracy
-always increases gas efficiency
