co2

[DropKickNick03]

i was wondering if you could use Co2 in a regulator? and if you can use Co2 in a Psychoballistics superbolt or Psychoballistics lighting? Also if anitsiphon will help with useing Co2 in the guns?

a regulator and anti siphon would help but im not sure how well a Psychoballistics superbolt or Psychoballistics lighting will run on CO2. if you have the money you might as well get an N2 tank. even if those guns can run well on CO2 N2 will be usable and a good upgrade for any other gun you buy.

Yes, they can run just fine on a CO2 system. As long as you make every precaution to ensure no liquid gets up into the LPR. A Palmers Stabilizer secondary reg and an anti-siphon tube will virtually ensure no liquid gets past.

Yes CO2 works in a regulator. Its just not good for it. If you shoot too fast it can ruin the regulator. An anti-siphon tube would work great for keeping the liquid CO2 from getting in the gun and the regulator.

The weather is also a big factor... If you live in the southern states where the weather is warm through out the year, Co2 with Anti-siphon will give you near same consistency as HPA with a good regulator. But if the temperature dips below 75 degrees, the Co2 has a rough time boiling to generate gas pressure. Back in the day, Strange and All Americans would use Co2 on their Shockers and Impulses to make their gun set ups smaller. A 16 oz "grenade" Co2 tank on a Shocker, Impulse, or even the Ion will get you almost the same amount of shots as a 68 4500 tank. Food for thought that Co2 doesn't suck... granted if the weather is nice and warm <_<

With the new Fatty Stabilizers the pressure ratio is upwards of 94:1. This means that if one is shooting at normal temp and weather conditions the pressure in the tank is approximately 900psi.... rapid shooting that frosts over the tank will drive the pressure down to approximately 300-350. Worst case scenario you are losing 600psi in just a few seconds... but with that type of pressure ratio it only translates into a 7psi difference inside the marker! Even an HPA tank can fluctuate this much :blink:

Given the pressure drops in CO2 for whatever reason, you can still get reliable shooting in the snow using one of these. At that temp the CO2 pressure is running around 300psi and any fluctuations will be evened out by the reg. Of course your marker must run at 300psi or lower first to ensure this type of winter balling is able to happen :D

yeah what he said :P

jcheatham6109,
You've been here long enough to know not to res threads. Take a look at the last posting date before replying. This is just a friendly reminder before things move on to administrative action ;)

One and only warning. Don't res dead threads.
