Going low pressure just so you can see your gauge drop is inefficient. But sweetspotting your system is extremely efficient, and will reduce the required input pressure by doing so, but it will not be a gas hog. Razor : 1st off, LP is not less efficent than HP. IT is more efficent if properly set up. got to http://www.moodypaintball.com/pages/tech/reg.htm : that will show you how to set your reg to the most efficent pressure and how to get the right spring combo. HP uses a high pressure wiht less volume to shot the paintball, while LP uses a lower pressure and a higher volume, but the volume, if set up as shown on moody paintball, is controlled, so you are using only as much as is need to shot the ball. also, low pressure is softer on the ball, and your springs can be much lighter, so you can turn your LPR down so low you will vutually never break another ball if you out shot your hopper or short-stroke. hope that helps.
