So just to clarify before I screw anything up, the way a GBB mag works is:

You fill gas through valve,(propane to valve)
Then has is being stored in empty sealed space, pressurized.
When you fire, a set amount of gas is being release through a different set of valve to the gun.
For different type of gas, the pressure is different in the gas storage in the mag.
Too high pressure will blow seals.
The way regulated works is reduce the pressure of gas in the storage in the mag so the seal doesn't get blown and so the amount of gas that goes through the gun isn't too high so it damage the gun.

When I'm tapping into a mag, I'm just tapping into the gas storage system, thus eliminating the use the first valve.
So if a mag can handle the pressure of a higher gas, I can technqiliy use the first valve. But because most mags are design to take green gas, they need a regulator to help lower the pressure of other gas.

To equalized the pressure of different gas in the same space of lower pressure gas, it just means they fill it with less higher pressure gas. Kind of like:
5(2) = 2(5)
5 of green gas = 2 of co2

Am I correct?

Thanks for the help. Extremely noob when I comes to this stuff.
