N/A Strange Question maybe?

I guess if you put fill on pellet side of regulator you are trying to rely on 2 seperate regulators. My theory would be to shoot tethered rely on one regulator for final plenum. The more variables out of the equation the better. Just my opinion backed by my thoughts and no expertise lol happy shooting

Well, as your well aware of any air on the HP side of a regulator will not and cannot contribute to the shot being taken.
Now place equal to set point pressure upstream of reg and the reg will basically be in bypass or a state for seat weeping never closing down and regulating itself.
* Would guess this would not be ideal as in plenum pressure might be sorta bouncy in holding stable ? .... tho a WAG

Now place regulated air directly into plenum and being the fill foster can flow a lot more than the regulators seat ... you may gain effective plenum volume somewhat * Downside being if the upstream HP side of regulator DROPS BELOW the pressure your putting into plenum the sealing medium ( Soft side of seat ) might suffer crush damage as there is really no way to guarantee the seat will stay open allowing air to equalize either side ????

You understand how regs work ... so no class lesson required.

Just thoughts ...

Yeah I thought about that in a way.
I'm wondering if it would damage the Reg in the Gun itself.

It's redundant and some regulators don't like being backfed. If it's vented to atmosphere it may just blow air, if it gets angry it may just blow orings and springs..

I second the idea of just tethering on the high side even if you have a regulated source of air to feed the gun like I do.

Technically of the air reservoir was at reg pressure and you fed the output side with the same psi, if think you should be ok. The benefits don't out weight the risk to me personally.

I'm. Not knocking your idea, it just sounds like the risk outweighs the potential reward..... Unless the front feed is probe.

I wrote my jibberish and read this in between, so I had to post it anyhow. I agree with you.
