Sacarathe Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 It's about time? Right? (Between gas and other guns) This forum's users seem particularly constructive and accepting of HPA discussion and not prone to hysteria, I think it would be a positive addition.
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted September 23, 2015 Head Moderator Posted September 23, 2015 I only have an AEG but still find it fascinating to read some of the technical problems and advice from the gear-heads. HPA is a valid sub set. Maybe have one for springers too
BrightCandle Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 My only concern is if we have enough volume to fill a whole sub, the current technical subs are all quite low volume currently.
Root Admin proffrink Posted September 23, 2015 Root Admin Posted September 23, 2015 Just ask HPA users to post their setups and the forum will be full in no time.
Hef Legend Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I've started an ongoing thread for my HPA build, I'm sure people will end up chipping in on it
Mr Monkey Nuts Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 Just because something is in the minority, doesn't mean that it should not be represented.
Sacarathe Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Be nice to collect threads on subjects such as "where to fill your tank".
Supporters Lozart Posted September 30, 2015 Supporters Posted September 30, 2015 I'd like a separate HPA subforum so I don't have to wade through all the "mah daytona am orsum" threads every time I open the site. But I'm a miserable git.
Supporters sp00n Posted September 30, 2015 Supporters Posted September 30, 2015 it would be a nice place to post reviews, tips and links etc etc

Supporters Lozart Posted September 30, 2015 Supporters Posted September 30, 2015 2 threads man. 2 threads Like I said...miserable.
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted October 1, 2015 Head Moderator Posted October 1, 2015 2 threads man. 2 threads Yes but I am sure that the mods would love to spend a quick 5 minutes moving all the other HPA related threads into the new subforum. I think a subforum would be good, keep the other threads cleaner.
Root Admin proffrink Posted October 1, 2015 Root Admin Posted October 1, 2015 Hey, I voted yes. Was just in response to Lozart's giggle.
Supporters Qlimax Posted October 12, 2015 Supporters Posted October 12, 2015 I think it’s worth having a sub section for it. There’s a number of members on this forum running HPA, all with different experience and all with their own ways of fixing an issue. Think it’s worth having because it’ll be a direct point for HPA users to go and for those who are possibly looking to come down the HPA route it’s a place for them to go and have a read about other members thoughts, problems, builds etc. also a place to ask questions as well.
Sacarathe Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 Sent a large PM to Devastator highlighting this need and the 30 threads (excluding sales) we have that warrant a unique subforum. But I think we can agree that a HPA area in the classifieds forum is unwarranted?
Root Admin proffrink Posted October 31, 2015 Root Admin Posted October 31, 2015 Well, air is a gas so I guess we already have a sales sub-forum for them. Kind of agreed though - most of the items are just too highly priced to change hands as often as other stuff.
Root Admin proffrink Posted November 18, 2015 Root Admin Posted November 18, 2015 Also, we should include CO2 in this somewhere as essentially all HPA systems are also capable of running CO2 as well. How about 'key atmospheric gas gun forum'?
Sacarathe Posted November 18, 2015 Author Posted November 18, 2015 I've always thought CO2 was already under the gas heading? At least the bulbs.
Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted November 18, 2015 Head Moderator Posted November 18, 2015 HPA and CO2 are still going to be hard to find unless there is a sub forum for them (or we get the search engine improved).
Root Admin proffrink Posted November 18, 2015 Root Admin Posted November 18, 2015 I've always thought CO2 was already under the gas heading? At least the bulbs. Fair point. Plenty more CO2 pistols out there than CO2 rifles.
TheGrover Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 To put it simply, hpa guns work vastly differently to other gas guns, so peeps with problems would find it easier to find help if the few hpa wizards amongst us didn't have to find the threads in the gas section And I'm pretty sure the community here has the sense to realise that whilst it is possible to act like a peat with a how gun (increasing fps, making BB hoses, etc.) Most people keep it within the bounds of reason, just a minority to deal with, though having said that, I've never met someone using hpa that wasn't a great sport, so it must be a small minority within a small minority Back on topic. It might stop me posting in a hpa thread without realising it's not about my beloved GBB guns and embarrassing myself Edit: being the awkward bastard that I am, here's a conundrum. Where would the owner of a converted GBB gun post his dilemma? It's not a GBB because it uses HPA and its not a straight up HPA because it has a moving bolt and nozzle. Do we have a separate thread for trans-gas guns in the interest of equality?
Sacarathe Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 Edit: being the awkward bastard that I am, here's a conundrum. Where would the owner of a converted GBB gun post his dilemma? It's not a GBB because it uses HPA and its not a straight up HPA because it has a moving bolt and nozzle. Do we have a separate thread for trans-gas guns in the interest of equality? Please elaborate. I feel it is fair that any gun which is powered by HPA is a HPA gun. Should a converted GBB have problems with HPA, its a HPA problem until the gun is proved to function the same with its intended power source, then its a Gas guns issue. EDIT: *Airsoft - a few times.
TheGrover Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 Well there are two main types of HPA gun, one based on an AEG (like a p*, wolverine etc) and one based on a GBB (basically tapping your HPA line into the gas mags gas reservoir, and using the HPA in the same way as green gas, it through the line) I was being an arkward bastard and comparing the two types like two "genders" of HPA guns, not male and female, but manly (GBB version) and girly (AEG version)* *No offence meant, I'm just a GBB guy
