Best CO2 and HPA Tank Setups for Consistent FPS: Tank + Regulator Recommendations and Adapters

Consistent FPS separates tournament wins from weekend headaches — and your chronograph will thank you. Move from CO2 to a properly regulated HPA setup (tank + regulator) for predictable velocity; choose 68–77ci carbon with a high-flow/synchronized reg for tournaments, 50ci + single-stage for woods, or 90ci + two-stage for long days. Chronograph after every change, use correct adapters, and service regs regularly — the single best upgrade is a reliable HPA tank paired with a good regulator.
