The battery determines the performance based on the number of cells,\u00a0<strong>while the HPA performance is managed by the regulator setting.<\/strong><br \/>Then,\u00a0<strong>air enters the HPA unit in the gearbox<\/strong>, where it\u00a0<strong>takes care of the shot<\/strong>, just like electricity through the motor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Therefore, for a complete HPA setup, you will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HPA bottle\u00a0with compressed air (larger bottle = more shots, but more weight and harder placement on gear)<\/li>\n<li>Regulator\u00a0(set the output pressure according to the desired performance and unit capabilities)<\/li>\n<li>HPA hose (from the regulator to the outlet from the gun, preferably with QD couplings)<\/li>\n<li>HPA unit\/system\u00a0in the gun<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>If you want to learn more<\/strong>\u00a0and get recommendations for suitable parts of HPA setups,\u00a0<strong>read our article\u00a0How to Assemble an HPA Setup!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IGL HPA Hose S&#038;F\u00a0with a length of\u00a020\u00a0cm\u00a0in\u00a0grey\u00a0color.
