This is a function of Cv through the regulator.
Unfortunately, since you are required to use the KoP regulator you may have to rework your design to compensate. Also unfortunately, there is no easy solution to this and may require a revisit to your design.
If you could post more details about your system, perhaps there might be more insightful answers to your problem.

Robert is correct. The Cv of the regulator is an issue if you are going to try and launch pneumatically.
I would suggest using 2 accumulators upstream of the regulator (120 PSI side) and 2 accumulators downstream of the regulator (60 PSI side). That may give you enough capacity to both shoot and recover quickly.
