Guerrilla Air Myth Regulator Review

As said in our preview of the Myth Regulator, we here at maxrof take a great interest in companies who produce innovative products. With that being said, the Myth Regulator is a breath of fresh air in the market of currently stale products.

Guerrilla Air, manufacturer of fine air products, has released their highly anticipated “Myth Regulator”. The main feature of the regulator, which is causing so much commotion in the industry currently, is its ultra compact size. As seen by the diagram, when screwed into the marker ASA, the bottle is spaced an extremely tight ¾ of an inch from the marker’s own frame. The design allows for both tighter play, and smaller profiles on bottles of all cubic inches.

From Guerrilla Air:

This is the regulator that is destined to take its place in the annals of Paintball, as the one that rendered all other screw-ins obsolete.

Myth’s Unique features:

• An astounding less than ¾ in length from ASA to bottle.
• An unimaginable “Air-light” weight.
• Virtually instantaneous recharge.
• Rebuildable.
• Replaceable head tip (for those accidental dings to the o-ring gland).
• User Friendly.
• All the same incomparable quality, safety, performance and support you have come to expect from Guerrilla Air.

The Myth regulator itself is a bit of an engineering wonder. While other companies are churning out regulators that seem over sized and clumsy, Guerrilla has milled things to a minimum and actually produced a micro regulator that works at the same level, if not better than others.

After a relatively easy installation involving:

1. De-gas air tank completely
2. Remove old regulator
3. Install Myth regulator
4. Gas up
5. …
6. Profit

I headed out for Xball practice. My immediate first impression was that my 68ci tank was now actually comfortable, and felt just like my preferred 45ci. One of my problems, playing mid-insert and occasionally front, was that I enjoyed the comfort and ergonomics of a 45ci tank, but never liked the air supply when compared to a 68ci. With the Myth regulator, this was certainly not the case anymore. Despite not sounding like an extreme amount, ¾” makes a big difference in the distance between your ASA and the tank.

Performance wise, the Myth regulator performed flawlessly all day without any major hiccups or malfunctions. I never once experienced inconsistent flow rates, or shot drop off at high rates of fire. Generally, we normally play at the required PSP rate of fire (13.33bps)…however for this session we cut our markers loose and ripped through a few hoppers using unlimited ramping. The Myth took every thing we threw at it.

Note: When the Myth regulator was released, certain websites featured knockoff versions for an extremely low price and sold them under the Guerrilla name. In order to assure genuine OEM Guerrilla Parts, be sure to double check to make sure your dealer is an Authorized Dealer from Guerrilla.
